    Air Conditioner squealing

    Hey mate, did you ever get a proper diagnosis and fix for your issue? I have similar sound and basically same thing as OP posted in his video. My vehicle is 1999 HZJ105R (Aussie version) with 1HZ. I am going to take it apart when I get a chance and I'll post photos or video back here for...

    What brand, type, DOT or usage is GREEN brake fluid in Australia? - 1999 HZJ105r

    Yeah it's the middle grommet, part number 31417-35010 It's running down and getting the boot a bit, I replaced the motor and screws recently, and sealed the boot, but I'll clean it up and make sure all good. Thanks for the advice! I called them and they didn't replace the grommets during...

    What brand, type, DOT or usage is GREEN brake fluid in Australia? - 1999 HZJ105r

    Okay have them a call and it's DOT4 brake fluid manufactured by ICI, here's a pdf I found about it: https://www.synforce.com.au/sites/default/files/DOT%204%20Brake%20Fluid_0.pdf I mixed DOT3 glycol based synthetic brake fluid with it because it was leaking and needed topping up. Apparently...

    brake fluid leak from? did I make a problem

    Just wanted to chime in for posterity for future google searches. After replacement of pump motor and accumulator, the shop bled the brakes and it came back with a pretty significant leak, also coming from the middle grommet. I'm gonna have to take the reservoir off again, check the grommet...

    What brand, type, DOT or usage is GREEN brake fluid in Australia? - 1999 HZJ105r

    Hi guys, Got cruiser back from mechanic after they replaced accumulator/booster and it's got green fluid in the brake system. I've never seen anything other than clear/amber type for all DOTs other than DOT5. **Image at bottom Only type I found was Pentosin CHF 11S hydraulic fluid which is...

    Replacing intercooler barrel

    Yeah it's just that they cost a bunch. I'm gonna try heat and bend with oxy, then weld aluminium pipe that's just a bit bigger I'm diameter over it. As long as it seals well is my only concern

    LandCruiser 100 Brake Master Cylinder Installation - The Easy Way!

    Mines a 1999 hzj105r (Australia) and it doesn't have that pressure switch plug at all. The pressure switch malfunction (code 54) is actually the one giving me trouble, and instead of paying thousands to replace the master cylinder (already has new pump motor and accumulator, fills in 35secons)...

    Replacing intercooler barrel

    Hi guys. This is the state of my turbo, no idea how it got like this, maybe since I bought it or a mechanic did it, who knows. I'm just wondering if I can replace the barrel with a generic one, same measurements of course, and will that be the end of it? Or do I have to re-tune it or...

    100 series ABS ecu/ skid control unit

    Did removing the middle plug work for you long term? I'm considering removing mine. I don't get the alarm, but I get the ABS and handbrake light flashing sometimes when I use brakes, putting out a code 54 which is Pressure Switch Malfunction. I assume that's the abs not able to work but the...

    has anyone replaced the 100 series' abs/master cylinder with a universal one?

    @saucebox yeah accumulator probably same thing as booster. It's a 105 Aussie cruiser. It's the cylindrical thing that sits up top. It's got a thread so it's supposed to be unscrewed, and I could probably use an oil filter removing tool. Thing is, what's the process to bleed it all once it's...

    has anyone replaced the 100 series' abs/master cylinder with a universal one?

    I've had mad issues with the brake system and posted here before about it. I've installed rebuilt motor, and still have squeal I think from accumulator. So I got a new accumulator but no idea how to install it. Just unscrew old one? Is there pressure built up? I really don't wanna have to...

    Bad battery or electrics?

    Just an update to this, autoelec guys replaced a 60 amp yellow fuse which was something to do with charging the alternator, which didn't help, so replaced the alternator. Seems to be better now, but may have fried a second battery while driving it to the mechanic. Not sure what fuse they mean...

    Bad battery or electrics?

    Yeah it's possible the alternator has come under stress from the previous battery dying and creating a charge load, possibly combined with age, dirt, moisture and an unhealthy grounding. I'll get the auto elec to checkout the alternator and see if it's busted. I still don't know why the battery...
