Good to know! I'll need to get it out of my head that I'm not dealing with Lamborghini Miuras : )

I passed by a 4x4 mechanic. He shared much of your views after showing him some more shavings- he was of the opinion that if there are no chunks of metal, carry on! It's got 180K Kms more or less.

Thanks all - I did another flush and still got small debris floating around in there. Isn't that likely to cause wear on the remaining "healthy" parts of the internals ? Interesting about the selector lock/reverse pin not functioning.

Thank you. While i'm there, are there any components worth upgrading to make the R151 more robust?

Greetings all, At 70mph i engaged reverse believing it was 6th (don't ask). Every minute or so i heard a deep sounding squeal coming from the gearbox tunnel. Reverse gear had not fully engaged given the spinning internals but i guess the gear teeth were bouncing off each other. The...

Greetings - I’m trying to find an insulated mat that will fit over the gearbox and transmission case (from inside the cab) to help deal with the heat which in 35+ degrees is quite uncomfortable . I seem to remember ASW had one fitted to his older trophies that slipped over the whole of the...

My 70 series has had the door-lock popped. Does anyone have any physical deterrents/solutions for these locks? The below looks ideal to me but of course, they don't do them for Landcruisers Vehicle Security and Theft Prevention Devices - https://jimmijammer.com/ Thoughts appreciated

So I stumbled across what seems to be HAC injectors. Any ideas about what Toyota thinks about this? They must be different at almost double the price. Different pop-pressures perhaps? 23600-19035 Holder & Nozzle Set, Nozzle [08.2016 -] 1HZ..HZJ76,78,79..RHD SOUTH AFRICA&HIGH ALTITUDE...

Thank you @bussman. I was gonna avoid getting a pop-tester then caved in after this thread. Any specific recommendations as to a reliable brand? I contacted @mercedessource.com (as above) and they said theirs wouldn’t be suitable

Do brand new (mechanical) injectors need to be checked and possibly adjusted for fuel injection pressure? I wasn’t able to find an answer

Mine is also upstream - OK good to know figures are comparable - thanks for the replies

I didn’t install it but i imagine no more than 10psi

I run a low pressure turbo. Could this be making the difference?

Is there a relationship between the above? My EGT runs at around 80 deg C at idle and in town i rarely see much more than 250 degs. On steep Inclines, fully loaded, I can reach 650-700 degs. I added a diesel conditioner (Flashlube I think) a couple of months ago and my EGT spiked to 600degs...
