    Brake pedal feel

    Just put new lines, fluid and rear discs on my lx. Since doing that I've noticed that the brakes will pump up, ie, the pedal gets firmer with successive applications. This may or may not have been there previously. Brakes work fine, just spongy pedal on first application. I feel like I bled...

    Brake Fluid - is there a consensus on this?

    Read through a heap of thread and seems like opinion is split. Somme say Dot 4 and 5 will destroy your system. Some say its no problem. It is necessary to get genuine Dot 3?

    Whirring noise under the dash

    On my LX470 there is a constant whirring noise coming from under the dash above the transmission hump. It sounds like a servo constantly spinning. Its not the Telescopic steering. Could this be the blend door servo?

    Ignition barrel on the way out?

    Hey all Got into my rig this morning and I noticed I had to use a bit of force to insert and remove the key from the ignition. First instinct is to hit it with WD40 (water dispersant spray for the Americans here) but I'm wary of doing anything that might suddenly render it non funtional. I...

    UZJ100 LX470 brake overhaul and handbrake upgrade

    Hi All So I'm slowing working my way through baselining my 400,000km 99 LX470 and I'm now at the brakes. I considered getting braided SS lines but compared to the price I can pick up factory lines I just can't justify it. I'm sure they're better but I cant see there being much flex in brand...

    99 LX470 - Rattle from Bell Housing.

    Hi All Just noticed that there is a hell of a rattle coming from this area on my high mileage lx470. What it sounds like is a thrust bearing but this being an auto .... Anyone have any experience with this as a common point of failure?

    MAF Sensor - Clean or replace?

    I'm going right through my 400,000km 99 LX470 with 2uz and I'm wondering if the MAF sensor should just be replaced? The vehicle sticks of fuel at idle, like an old carby vehicle with the choke on. A quick good says that cleaning them doesn't quite get them to where they should be. Don't...

    CV Axle replaced - now leaking

    I have it all back together and theres a small gap between the cv and the housing that is pissing out oil. How far do I need do dismantle it to fix this? If I take the snap wring and the flange off and then bash it with a hammer and a block of wood will that get it in or do I need to pull it...

    Lx470 UZJ100 knuckle/stub axel.

    Hey all Pulled my wheel bearings out today and the spindle is toast (deeply pitted). Being such a critical part I'm pretty reluctant to use aftermarket but I'm wondering if it might be worthwhile considering a used one if I can find one at a wreckers? New one is $700aud delivered. I'll...

    100 series aging electronics

    I've got a 98 LX470 and as its now 25 years old and a number of things are wanting to be renewed I'm finding myself wondering about how this generation of computerized vehicles will cope with advancing age? I'd hate to sink series money into restoring all the driveline, interior and paint only...

    CV Change - what else to do while I'm there (bushes, ball joints etc).

    Hey all I've got everything for cv change including shims, hub flanges etc. I've just noticed the upper control arm ball joint has a split dust boot so I'm doing another shop for parts. Is there anything unrelated to the CV change I should really do while I'm in there as preventative...

    CV Joint - Reboot or replace?

    Hi All I'm trying to get my LX470 over the pits and its been pulled up on a busted CV Boot. The mechanic who inspected reckons that rather than reboot, just replace the whole cv assembly due to the work getting in there. Its a huge difference in parts costs and there is no sign that the CV is...

    Central locking and alarm woes

    Hi all So my 99 lx470 was bought with a super frustrating issue. 1. The doors lock when I turn the ignition off. I've tried the reprogramming procedure on here and it didn't work. I can't work out if this process works on my model or just on later models. The central locking button on the key...

    Has anyone serviced their ow transmission?

    So I'm in the process of baselining my 400,000km 99 lx470. When i got it the transmission fluid was very nasty and burnt looking. I've dumped it and put in synthetic. Seems to be a bit quieter and shift smoother. I've bought a kit with a filter to change. This should be pretty...

    My new LX470

    Hi all So I'm the proud owner of a "new" 99 LX470 with 400,000km and let's be honest, it needs some love. But I got it cheap and while it has been otherwise completely neglected, the owner did keep up with the oil changes, timing belt changes and always ran it on high octane. So I've begun...

    Lx470 central locking and alarm

    Hi all Looking for some advice. I just bought a 98 lx470 that has some electrical gremlins. The alarm goes off whenever I open the car with the key. Key fob won't remote unlock. On top of that, the central locking locks all the doors when you turn the ignition off. It's at an auto...
