Can anyone assist. I have a 1995 KZJ78 which I run on bio fuel during the summer months. As soon as the temperature drops to about +3 degrees she doesn't want to start. The problem is bio fuel gels above freezing so I have to employ the help of a hair drier. It always works! This winter I lost...
Has anyone any tips on how to prime and bleed air from the diesel fuel supply on my 3b bj42? After a necessary head off job I am having great difficulty in bleeding all the air from the fuel system. I have rigged up a small tank and fed the fuel directly into the fuel pump and successfully bled...
I am in the process of converting my 24v bj42 1982 glow plug system into a Wilson switch version. I do however prefer the old automatic timer-preheater. Has anyone an old 24v 28521-57010 that I could use to cannibalise and repair my mechanically compromised version over the long winter months?
Having wrecked the glow plugs leading to an expensive head off job, I have finally decided the heater/timer unit in my 24v. 1982, bj42 has got to go. It was damaged in its rolling down the Pyrenees but is now proving to be too unreliable. My question to all you experts is, can I simply utilise...
Having been forced into removing the cylinder head on my August 1982 bj42 3b engine ( ser. No 0518803 ), due to glow plug disintegration problems, I am struggling to find the correct torque settings to put it all back together correctly. I have read two workshop manuals on this fantastic forum...
Has anyone any clues on how the timer pre heater on my 1982 bj42 works? My glow plug light has decided to stop working. The engine now starts reluctantly and runs rough for a minute then OK. I have a 2 relay system but why 2 ? No. 2 has a resistor on its 24 volt output. Why? Should I be able to...
I have two dud 12 volt batteries in my diesel BJ42 , one 65 ampere hours, the other 75 A/H. I need to replace both. One suppliers recommendation was that a 12 volt landcruiser required a 90 A/H battery therefore a 24 volt landcruiser required two 12 volt batteries each of 90 A/H. . With my not...
Hi Guys, I'm on the final stages of my 1982 BJ42 restoration (BJ42 found in a derelict barn) but getting bogged down with my non charging alternator problem. I have read all the forums fantastic info. and thought I knew it all but still can't solve the problem. Just consuming fuses by the dozen...
Following an extensive restoration on my BJ42, my filter light stays on permanently. It's a stupid question, but which filter? Oil, fuel, air, or sedimentor. At the lamp plug I have 24v on one lead and open circuit on the other. Must be a short to earth somewhere, but at which filter. I have...
Can anyone tell me if the baked bean size object mounted on the chassis near the fuel tank with a fuel pipe in and out and an electrical connection is a fuel pump?
Hi, Just joined forum and wonder if anyone is at all interested in hearing about a BJ42 restoration project after a find in a French barn in the Pyrenees.
