Thanks for the pointer to state specific forums. A trail within few hours range of New York or the Californian Disney park would be ideal though will consider anything. Are there Jeep rentals specifically for off-road trails and with relevent insurance cover? Disney(Cal)-Colorado-New...

Hi Folks, I'm planning a 3 week Vacation with my Wife & 2 Kids to the States in July next year and would like to fit in a an 2-3 day guided off-road trip in somewhere. We are doing Disney (though haven't decided on which Disney yet) and probably New York. So we are hoping that probably the the...

I had the same noise/symptoms before my starter died. I replaced contacts and plunger and it works again, but the clunking noise still happens every 2nd or 3rd cold start. Now that I have already invested a bit of time in "fixing" the starter I don't want to spend any coin on a new or...

Hi NatorGator, Tell me more Re: Temp gauge and Scanner?

:whoops: That was a mistake I just meant checked/looked at. I Guess -as has been suggested- that an Oil sample is the way to go.

Very little to no coolant loss and there is no sign of it in oil.

Update. The guy at a local garage said he didn't think it needed done and that I should leave it to"develop" and then do it. He doesn't understand I want to do it as PM. I think it has been like this for some time I just convinced myself during the winter that it was just steam on the cold...

Hi Doug, The quote from toyota is for the Gasket Kit £110+ Tax = £139.25 = $258(us) approx. For doing the whole Job, the dealerships want from $2,000 to $3,000.:eek:

Mine was doing this regularly until I spayed the Latch mechanism with WD40, a bit oil and stretched the spring a bit with a screwdriver.

Geez! 12,000 posts. You must be God:eek: . And the man for parts as far as I can see. So how much will a Gasket cost me and shipping to UK. Damn, my excuse was I didn't have a garage. It rains here though. Okay it hasn't really rained for 6 weeks, but it surely will if I attempt to...

I'm pretty sure I've just Joined the dreaded blown Head Gasket club. I'm getting steam from exhaust(clears after about 10 mins) and bubbles in radiator and No 1 Spark plug has a white coating. I'm having it pressure tested tomorrow. I 'm praying it's just the gasket and not a cracked head...

Not Marko Polo Marco Polo would have liked an 80 LC for his travels. I heard that when Marco Polo first opened the trade routes to China, he was quite impressed with their rockets. Now, these weren't quite the fireworks we now know, but they did shoot into the air, explode and make some...

No-Polo

Hi Folks, Just Checkin in and saying Hello. Great to find a LC forum with lots going on and such a wealth of tech knowledge and advice. Already refurbished my Starter , flushed Rad/Engine block, and changed Diff and Transfer case lubes using guides and write-ups from forum. Glad to be...
