For me it was one of the abs sensors on the passenger side. Going to get it replaced. Only ever came on when it rained. I diagnosed the old way, just throwing a bucket of water onto each sensor on separate days until I found the culprit.

That could be it. Maybe even water getting into the ABS module? Would a Techstream or a OBD II diagnose this issue / let me find which sensor it is?

I've got a problem I can't seem to trace. The VSC/TRC Off/Check Engine light come on whenever I drive through and largish puddle. It has been raining hard and I took the car out. No light initially, until I drove through some puddles (only 1 foot at most). Then after I stopped this car and...

What kind of repair are you looking at to the bodywork? I see the need to remove rust, but fortunately the holes are not rusted, and I could potentially fill with silkaflex (not ideal but I can't weld).

Alright thanks. Just wanted to make sure that I wasn't go nuts or something. Amazing that enough water could get into those holes to cause such problems.

I've been having a water leak, presumbly from the windshield, that has been causing a few electronic gremlins. Electrics go back to normal after it dries out. I only get this when it rains. I had the windshield replaced, but the electric problems continued, still only when it has rained. So...

Any reason you wouldn't seam seal it and then use fluid film etc?

I was giving my 100 series a look over after the winter, and found some rust in the seam on the bottom of the wheel well (pic attached) where the seam is. I filed away and wire brushed the flaky rust. The rust has eaten away so much that I can get a screw driver between the two sheets of metal...

Thanks for the reply. Thinking I will start by changing the clutch and pulley. I've noticed some melted plastic, so thinking this is the issue. Is changing the clutch and pulley straightforward (seen the thread on the this) for a pretty amateur mechanic?

Bump.

Hi, I've got a 2006 Landcruiser 100 series. My ac has stopped working and I get the message on the nav "Check connection of the air conditioner". I also have a warning light on the dash for the passenger airbag not being activated. There was a squealing noise from the engine. I took the belt...

Thanks for the info. Will see if my local shop can do it, getting the slee off-road OME 1.5 lift. Anyone else have any experience to share?

So like all AHCs mine bit the dust this week with leaks. I've ordered a slee lift kit to replace the AHC, but am struggling to find a mechanic around the Hampton Bays/Riverhead area that knows the system and how to replace. Just wondering if anyone has any good recommendations for shops to do...

Hey, just pm'd you. Interested, live in NY. Thanks.
