    LJ78 parking brake options

    Hi thanks for the info, I think my original post was a bit misleading, I have no issues with getting it to work and when set up it works well, unfortunately the drum design holds the mud in so if I want to keep it working I have to take the wheels and discs off to clean them out every time I go...

    LJ78 parking brake options

    Thanks Juan, The work to repair the factory park brake is no problem from me, I would just like to find a more reliable solution that requires less maintenance. Thanks Ash

    LJ78 parking brake options

    The parking brake / hand brake on my LJ78 has always been rubbish, it will work great for a short time, but will then stop working even after replacing all the shoes and disc/drum. So I have been looking at alternatives, and the two I can find are: 1. Fit a transmission brake - I don’t really...

    LJ78 2L-TE - blown? What to do...

    I feel your pain, I was in a similar situation last year when my wife over heated my engine (my fault the radiator was filled with mud) I thought about a 1uz swap but fuel is expensive in the UK, so I wanted to keep it diesel, although I do have a 1uz engine and gearbox mounted to a LJ78...

    LJ78 cranks won’t start

    I had exactly the same issue with my LJ78, I fitted a non-return valve in the fuel line just before the filter housing and it fixed the problem.

    70 Series (light duty) Shock Interchangeability / Options

    Well I run 35s with only a 50mm lift (I like the height of the tyres but without it being too tall) so it rubs every where 🙈 fronts are standard and rears are +50mm (I think) the standard LR shocks have a slightly longer collapsed length. I can’t remember the lengths off the top of my head it...

    70 Series (light duty) Shock Interchangeability / Options

    As mentioned above Landrover defender / discovery 1 rear shock absorbers fit front and rear so that should open up quite a few options. I have them fitted front and rear to my LJ78 because they are readily available here (UK)

    Lj78 flares

    Hi, sorry I never did get an answer, in the end I went with aftermarket landrover because they are more readily available here.

    LJ78 to 1kzte

    So I have had a bit of time off from this, 3 kids, work, moved house all the usual excuses! So I read through all of the pump Manuals, tried different resistors and made some adjustments to the spill valve but all in all I just wouldn’t run right 👎 So I have gone with a 4m40 manual injection...

    Issues with 35's on a KZJ70

    I run 35/10.5r16 tyres on my LJ70 and my LJ78 (both with 4.88 diffs) and I don’t go easy on either of them and have not had any issues, before any long trips I always check brakes and wheel bearings just incase

    A343F and A440F

    Hi does anyone know if the bell housings are interchangeable between A34x and A44x transmissions? Looking to maybe swap a non electronic A440 or A442 into my LJ78.

    2LTE Mechanical Injector Pump (Non ECU) | LJ78 ATM

    Unfortunately I can’t actually give you any answers, except it looks like I will be giving a similar think a try (I have 1kz swapped my LJ78 automatic but having EDC issues so I’m contemplating a 4m40 pump swap.

    LJ78 to 1kzte

    Thanks I did wonder about the spill valve, most people Only adjust it for top end fueling so wasn’t sure if it would make much difference, but nothing to loose by giving it a try!

    LJ78 to 1kzte

    So the physical engine swap is now complete, the 1kzte more or less bolted in with no issues I used the hilux surf bell housing and torque converter mounted to the LJ78 A343f gearbox but had to mod the 2LTe engine mounts. As expected the part that hasn’t been so easy is the EDC side of things...
