I know this is an old thread, however I found a decent video on this job,

Just finished the job & you were correct, it does exactly that. Dims when head lights are on. Also wiring the reverse back-up camera, I followed a lead on another thread & it saved some time & wire...

hey there kendgray, big thanks for this write up. Saved some time to connect to that wiring plug for the reverse signal. Reverse camera works perfectly from that connection. I couldn't tell what colour the wires were, but positive reverse light was the one with arrow below.

Cool, thanks for that. I'll be using the AerPro harness, so I should be good to go without searching for the dimmer circuit.:cheers:

Had a look around but still not sure. My dashboard dimmer only dims the gauge cluster. I thought it should also dim the center dash lights = radio, clock & aircon. Is this normal for '96 AU model? About to install a new head unit with 7" screen that is dimmable & can be controlled via the ILL...

It's actually not that hard to do. The hardest part for me was the spark plug seals, they had perished & broke up when removing them, but the steel part of them was wedged in tight. Got them out eventually with a chisel & a lot of swearing. Only a couple of scratches on the cover. All good now...

Well I just verified this leak after changing my valve cover gaskets that were leaking bad. Cleaned engine thoroughly but detected a slow oil leak at the distributor. Got the O-ring & changed it out, 20mins labor plus another 20 mins cleaning the built up sludge under the dizzy that I missed...

Thanks, I already purchased all the parts from Amayama, listed in this video by Timmy He didn't mention the PHH. The PHH is only a little bit of straight hose. If it looks like it needs replacing, that won't be too hard to fabricate.

Thanks. I'm just about to do this & PHH had me confused.

Forgive my ignorance but WTF is the PHH? Do agree though that you may as well drain the coolant & replace when finished, as to get to the VC gasket replacement, you need to disconnect a couple of upper coolant hoses, so draining it prevents coolant splashing all over where you are working.

They did the work & charged you for it. Take it back & get them to fix it at their expense. Anything you do now, will be tampering with what they did & then you'll be the one fixing it at your expense.

yes, you could get a brake specialist to fabricate hard lines to replace the crusty ones. If you are mechanically competent, you could get a flaring tool, a roll of hard line & fittings, DIY.

3 hard lines that connect to the LSPV from those diags would be 47324, 47325 & 47362.

Hey all, joined the forum a few weeks back, thought I should introduce myself & my 80. Big thankyou to this forum, the info shared by many is awesome, especially in Resources.:cheers: I've recently tackled front rotor, all brake pads & 6 flexible brake lines replacement. Changed the clutch...

OEM Part# TOEA-858 or OEA-859. I think there are dark & light ones for use on light or dark paint scheme. https://forum.ih8mud.com/threads/4500i-twin-cam-decal-giveaway.126261/ https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/290978869230 Also non genuine, LandCruiser 4500i 80 Series TwinCam Black Decal Sticker |...
