Hi there.
I've been thinking for some time now that we need a thread dedicated solely to the Owner's Manuals (OMs) that went with our vehicles when they were sold new.
(Many owners wish to get the correct OM for the vehicle .. but how else will they know which one is applicable to their...
Hi Woody.
Recently (that is, maybe a week ago, or perhaps two weeks ago) I experienced a change in the screen prompts for "attaching a file" whereapon I now see a "black box (with another box inside saying "Choose File" and alongside that "No file chosen"). ... So it appears to me that you made...
A new problem has developed for me over the last day or so Woody.
When anyone (including myself) posts a smilie, all I see is the triggering letters/symbols on the screen. In other words, the letters/symbols no longer trigger the smilie to appear.
Secondly, when I type all the sh@t I write...
Some of you may already know that I've been having problems with my clutch master cylinder.
BTW- Today I came to the conclusion this has been caused by using a poor quality repair kit inside it. But here's the thread if anyone's interested (and hasn't seen it already)...
Hi there.
I thought I'd start this thread to document the problem I'm presently having with my clutch master.
Symptoms:
There are no fluid leaks at all
A normal push on the pedal sees it go straight to the floor with no opposing pressure at all (other than that offered by the little...
Hi all.
Some may know already that I had trouble getting my BJ40 declared roadworthy by the authorities here, and that soon after passing, I developed handbrake problems.
I was suspicious that oil-seepage into the drum from my transfer case may have been the cause so I promptly ordered a...
I'm in a bit of a rush (because I work full-time as well as trying to get my BJ40 ready for a forthcoming trip) so I'm jumbling a number of things into the one thread..
First off is this....
Has anyone experience their brake linings developing a crack like this right across the centre:
The...
Hullo Woody.
A new problem has just started occurring for me on ih8mud.
The buttons (that you click on to post a reply, to add an attachment etc) are suddenly being represented as blank rectangles with no wording on them to say what they represent.
(So I am clicking on them based on memory...
Hi there Woody..
Something's happened this morning (in NZ time) in that I now see most ih8mud images in threads as "an oblong box with a what appears to be a page of paper centred in the middle".
(And clicking on this box doesn't even work to make the true image appear for me.)
I can't...
Hi there.
I am wondering how many others out there are still running 7"/178mm sealed beam headlights and whether you're satisfied with the quality you're getting?
I'm posting this thread because I seem to be forever replacing my sealed beams these days..
(And before anyone suggests it - No...
Today (in the last 3 hours) ih8mud keeps forcing me to login (again and again).
My last session I closed simply because it got to the point where every thing I tried to do (such as checking my alerts, or making a post in a thread), instead of doing it I was instead asked to login again.
Is...
Hi there.
I think there's a shortage of information on early H-engine-powered land cruisers.
I just spotted an eBay advertisement for three 1964 "Land Cruiser Utes"... (Yes. It is from Australia where the word "ute" is always a preferred descriptor.)
What really attracted my attention is that...
Hi there Woody and all you other admin heroes.
I've been using this new software for some time now and I'm already convinced it's a big step forward. (I already prefer it by a big margin over the old.)
And I've checked all the thread titles in this "NEW FORUM SOFTWARE Forum" and can't see that...
It is nice that I can go to "Alerts" at the top right of my screen and see easily where I need to go. But why can't I go there with one click (or am I missing something)?
What I mean is .............. I may be able to see there that someone has posted a fresh reply to one of my "watched...
So the old "subscribed threads" are now called "watched threads".
That's reasonable enough (and it may even be more appropriate too). :)
But when I click on it, I'm told I'm looking at watched threads that contain new posts I haven't yet read (which is what I 'm after) - but that's not what I...
This cruiser has been on Aussi eBay for some time now:
And this is what the seller claims:
Has anyone got an opinion on whether "factory constant 4WD" was really available as an option back then?
Surely such a "special delivery" would cost more (because it always costs more to...
I think we are a great community here on ih8mud.
We are always willing to help one another, no matter
where we live
what the differences are in our cultures
what the differences are in our standards of living
... etc
So that's why I'm starting this thread.
Has anyone heard...
Can anyone enlighten me on why I'm seeing grease nipples fitted to some governor housings on IP pumps?
Here are 2 pics that have appeared on ih8mud (on what looks like two completely different BJ60 vehicles):
On my 1979 BJ40, that point (where the nipples are placed) is where a drain plug...
Take a look at these pics:
I thought I'd seen most things associated with 40-series cruisers but I've never seen an inline AC system like this before.
The evaporator uses the OEM blower/fan as you can see.
Greg in New South Wales (where all those terrible bushfires are at the...
When my 1979 BJ40 was new, it came fitted with little nylon caps (which Toyota call, GROMMET, SCREW) on the top of all the glow plugs as shown on the left here:
(Although they're a bit grimy from old-age in this photo.)
Since the glow plug thread size shrunk from 5mm to 4mm, they no longer...
