An update; Yesterday after returning back to Netherlands I have tried two things, before changing any parts or opening up anything: - Clean our the valves using an additive "Wynns Diesel EGR Extreme Cleaner", by spraying this into the air intake while running the engine stationary. - Added a...

Thank you GTSSportCoupe and John in Utah for your replies I'm currently not anymore in the Netherlands (as I'm forever traveling) but soon I will be, so I will order some parts and will try these things in the following order: 1. Replace injectors with new crush washers 2. Check and set...

If the process is similar to the injector replacement on the 1KZ engine, it looks like a simple take-out of the old part and a screw-in of the new part?

Thanks @GTSSportCoupe for the quick reply. I have ordered a complete new set of injectors but I wasn't sure anymore that this was the issue as the symptoms were more like a burnt valve, and with that its driveable I think. So I will try replacing the injectors first, it looks like a simple...

A few months ago I have bought unseen a Toyota Hiace as it looked great on the pictures and it was cheap. It is equipped with the Toyota 2.4L diesel engine (non turbo), engine code 2L. After arriving back in Netherlands and picking up the car I found out that the engine was shaking really bad...

Thanks for your reply. I did it this way a few years ago with another car, I used the scrotchbrite pads and rolled it with army green paint. But after two years the rust came again from under the paint. For the Landcruiser I hope for a better, longer lasting result. Is it possible to use a...

I found these pictures on the internet. This is not my cruiser but from another man from holland: Week later:

I'm also looking for some new tires for my 80 series, and want to sipe them for use in winter and wet conditions. Here in Holland siping costs 25 euros for each tire. Is it an option to do it yourself? With a stanley knife?
