Hi all.
I noticed a cup or so of coolant last night on the ground, after putting some petrol in at the servo.
It seems to be coming from the passenger side (its a RH drive vehicle), near or just in front of the firewall.
I can see some wet marks on the RH frame just behind the front wheel.
I...
Hi all.
I recently picked up a 2002 FZJ105 series after my UZJ100 was ran into by a rather nasty Nissan Patrol... resulting in both vehicles being write-offs.
I was checking condition of the spark plugs today, and loosened off the nut on the lower of three cables running to the throttle body...
Hi all.
My 2003 UZJ100R had the alternator die today.
Symptoms were the radio kept dropping out - I initially assumed it was the radio station losing signal, but then I realized the stereo was blanking out completely, i.e turning off.
At the next intersection, the car died completely.
I managed...
Hi again all.
Long time no post.
Just the other day, all the windows stopped going up or down, accept for the drivers window.
This is from both the drivers controller, or from the switch on each door.
I removed the door trim, reseated the connector to the switch.
Intermittently I have had the...
Hi all.
Back again.
At Xmas last year I had the ABS brake booster motor in my UZJ100 fail while away on holiday.
I posted about that here:
ABS warning light and audible alarm, brake failure soon after....possible easy fix to get you going
In short, I cleaned out the motor, reinstalled it, and...
Hi all.
Long time no speak, but have really benefited from this forum multiple times, so I thought I'd add my recent experience, in case it may help other members out of a jam.
I recently left from Tasmania, to mainland Australia, via ferry, and landed in Victoria.
I stopped in northern NSW on...
Hi all.
I have a issue with my AC that just started the other day, a week before a 4000Km trip up north. :(
The Fan control dial for the heater/AC fan is playing up.
LOW, MED and HIGH settings all work fine, however when I select MAX, it drops to exactly the same fan output as the LOW setting...
As the title says, is a 2001 Tundra 2UZ-Fe a compatible replacement engine for a 2003 UZJ100?
I believe that the 2001 Tundra doesn't have drive by wire, i.e. it uses a accelerator cable, whereas the 2003 UZJ100 does.
I've found a replacement long engine for mine, which died - (3x piston...
Hi all.
Help diagnosing my issue with my 2003 uZJ100 - petrol 4.7ltr V8 .
I was freeway driving at 110KM/H, listining to music, when I heard a ticking sound.
I reduced volume, realised it was coming from the engine, so I backed of, and it sounded like the car was low on oil.
I also noticed...
Hi all.
As per the title, when I am turning left (approx. above 30KPH) on a fairly sharp turn, I hear this noise that sounds like you are driving over the rumble strips on the side of the road.
It is coming from the front left of the car.
It started last week, and is consistent when turning...
Hi all.

The engine is a 2UZ-Fe 4.7ltr V8.
It has 240,000kms on the clock.

Hi all.
Can someone indicate where the heater blower motor is located in a Right hand drive 2003 GXL v8 5 speed UZJ100R?
It is not as it is stated in the only FSM I can find, the 2004 Left hand drive FSM thats available around the web.
Looking at the pictures in that FSM, particularly the...
Hi all.

The vehicle is a 2003 Toyota Land cruiser GXL 4.7 V8 Auto UZJ100R with 230,000KM on the clock.
I've only been driving the car for the last week or so, after purchasing it second hand 4 or so...
