Hi Guys, I have a 1998 Lexus LX 470. I replaced my original 80 amp alternator with which, I think, is a 130 amp alternator some time ago. Last year around September my battery died for no apparent reason. It wasn't old. I claimed a new battery on warranty thinking that it was the problem,. A...

Thankyou so much for this post. Super helpful . Going to be a great help when I do mine. At 280k kms now and just lost the serpentine belt today. Fun!

Thankyou, appreciated.

Thanx nissanh. I'll look at Partsouq.com but am thinking of trying the Sakura filters because I really need to know. Not sure if I'll get them for the 100 or the 80 series. Maybe the 80 as it's cheaper to repair if things go badly lol. Regardz

Ok, from what I've gleened today, Sakura took over an Aussie industrial filter maker and renamed it. They're meant to be pretty good but I've not heard of anyone using them. Was hoping for a bit of feed-back here. Btw, you quoted US$'s49 for the kit? Probably a bit cheaper in Aus$'s. Cheers for...

Happy New Year folks. All the best 2021. Quick question, anyone heard of Sakura Filters from Aus? Was thinking of doing oil and air using them. They have a good deal on, $59 for oil, air and petrol filters combo. Meant to be great gear used by the mining and other Outback industry's in harsh...

Very helpful :) Cheers mate

Cheers AussieHJCruza, Figured I may as well do bearings and seals while it's out. Just need a machine press now, to pop the bearings back on. Could tap'em on with a hammer, but knowing my luck I'd slip or miss and do harm........... Regardz

Hi AussieHJCruza, Found one at a wreckers for $550. Seems to be in good condition, has 235,000 kms on it and is still tight. Not sure if I should stick it straight in or do something to it. It's the first LC diff I've blown. I've had the 81 diesel, this 91 petrol 80 series, and the LX 470 and...

Thank you so much AussieHJCruza, it's an Aussie Cruiser too lol. Any ideas what diff heads are worth here in Aus?

I never met Kevin but really admired his posts, so easy to follow and always accurate as far as I could tell. So sad, my condolences to his family. You really will be missed.

I've blown the rear diff of my 91 80 series L/C. Thing is I was told it was a LSD but the one similar to the Ford 9 inch diff. If anyone has any helpful info on these diffs and how to pull apart I'd be most grateful. Cheers Muddies

Do you do covers for the 98 LX 470? I thought they were the same as the 2000 - 2007 model seats. Cheers

Hi, I'm from Queensland Australia and have a 1998 LX 470 with 24,000 kms on the clock. It's a tank and I love it 🥰👈
