Thanks for the lead, I sent them a mail. Steve

Hi All, Bought a Hilux with winch which was locked up. Removed for repair and see no identifying marks. Has anyone come across one of these? Not even an indication of whether it is chinese or not. Steve

Hi, do you still have the full engine bay wiring loom? Thats the one that feeds from the under bonnet fuzebox to lights etc. Thx

Thx, I cranked a little on where you indicated but with only less than a quarter turn each way. I'm going to have to go deeper me thinks.

Many thanks Bud, I'll be studying that conscientiously.

Hi All, for a few years now my 1HDT's sunroof has been stuck in the almost closed position It rains a lot around here and I haven't built a roof yet, so feel I need to try and get the motor/sunroof sorted. Do i have to rip the roof lining out to get to the motor??? Where is it?

Thx for the response. Light still doing a disco dance on a run to town and back. Stopped at the local fundi who reckons the diesel also has a float system same as the peteol versions. Reckons it might just be a dirty or loose connection. I'll get her over the pit this weekend.

Quick question for the knowledgeable, the oil light came on in mama's 1HZ yesterday. I added about 1lt (about a quart) of oil and seems ok. Does the diesel engine oil light also work off of a float in the sump as per the petrol engine?

Hi, I am after the full set of keys and cylinders for ignition, both doors and rear hatch from your 80 if you are willing to post to Tanzania? I have bought items off the forum before if you are wondering. Steve_in_dar@yahoo.com WhatsApp: +255767081885 Regards Steve

Have you experienced the dreaded "Death Wobble" yet? Good indicator something is worn or loose. I did a recent front end service and on left front the circlip on the end of the stub axle had come off. This meant the axle could move in and out making a single clunk when turning. Might be a start.

Have you tried asking more regional? Aus has an active 80's community, I'm sure they can help. Good luck anyway. The petrol/gas engines are well covered in the US, whereas the diesels are more common in yours and my neck of the woods.

What info exactly are you looking for? I have two RHD diesel 80's and manage to find all kinds of pertinent info within these forums. Don't be scared to ask. Someone will have the info somewhere. Cheers S

Have you tried the Brit site, landcruiserclub.net ?

I recently tipped my LC over on right (driver) side. After getting the panel beating sorted the old girl developed a massive death wobble. Tightening bearings, replacing bushes and balancing eventually sorted that, but plenty cracks on chassis around steering box, shock and spring towers and a...

Hi All, Does anyone have a working spare they are willing to part with? I've tried here locally with no success and I can't afford new. Cheers Steve Tanzania
