I purchased a 2002 UZJ100 in Tanzania and had an issue with the TB as well. Was recently changing my lower ball joints and disconnected the battery for this. Upon reconnecting the battery the car was starting and going off, checked on the diagnostic machine and it threw the code on the TB motor...

Ajax it would have made a ticking noise right?

Gents, Need your assistance in my 1HDT. I had a rough idle after a long safari. A couple of months later the piston rings broke so did a complete overhaul with new injector nozzles and also injector pump servicing. Now after the rebuild, 700 km later, I'm getting a rough idle again and this can...

Gents, Apologies for the very late response. I am based in Tanzania and my HDJ80 has the same problem, however i can hear the problem from the front. I recently installed genuine new cabin mountings and bushes...

Gents, Just got back from a safari and noticed my rear diff having a slight leak. Any suggestions as to what it may be and the extent of the damage?

Gents, I have a 2008 78 series that runs on a 1HZ engine. It is basically a safari vehicle used in the Serengeti very often for tourists. Over the past couple of safaris, it has been losing water from the radiator. There are no signs of heating in the gauge or the engine. After every 150-200...

Does yours only make a rattling noise on bumpy roads? Only thing replaced on my brakes are the pads... Before i open the axle, i want to check alternatives... once axle opened then i know it is $$$ :(

Just out of curiosity, could it by any chance be the anti rattle springs on the brake calipers which are making the pads play...

Bushings are all brand new genuine Toyota which cost me quite a bit if i must say... barely gone 3,000kms. Springs and shocks are new as well. I guess, ill open the diffs and have a look this weekend with my mechanic. Just a note that it is a manual diff lock...

Right so on reading other threads, i believe there is a nut to refill grease rather than a nipple in the front. This is exactly where i refill

I usually grease the props and the front swivels. This may sound dumb but please assist on where i can check the grease levels...

Nope, no difference on acceleration or speed... even when i brake a little, still makes a kind of slight banging noise.

Guys, I have an LC 80, i recently changed all by suspension bushes front and back as well as cabin mounts. I hear a noise coming from the front tyres on bumps and rough road. Sounds like the brake pads, however my pads are fairly new as well. Any suggestions? i am planning a trip to the...
