The car is a RHD Auto HDJ 100 4.2 TD from 1998 which I have owned for many years.
A few years ago I replaced the pump and accumulator and also did the piston servicing kit.
The issue is that I sometime have a brake pedal that progressively goes to the floor. Note that on the floor the car stays...
I have owned my 4.2 ‘98 hdj 100 for about 12 years. It has 180 000 miles and is religiously maintained. I plan on keeping it as long as possible.
I am trying to slighty improve performance and also extend reliability. Car is based in France.
I am concerned the turbo is getting a bit long in...
Hi All,
Was removing some brake fluid as the last shoo that serviced the truck had overfilled as usual.
As I somewhat struggled to put the cap back in place I noticed the black seal around the inner side of the brake reservoir cap was split in two places and I had a chunk of rubber that was...

98 LC, had the brake master cylinder + tank renewed about 2 years ago using new oem parts. Car was fully checked by dealer 6 months ago with brake fluid change. 165k miles.
So now for what happened: been using the car a lot over the summer and brakes were perfect. Solid feel, strong pedal. Just...
Throughout the summer I have been annoyed by a strange noise. Coming from the front driver side and could be heard window down. Hard to describe but aomewhat sounded like a stone stuck in the thread of the tire. Low to medium speed and kind of rotating.
this was all the more annoying that over...
Hi everybody

Couldn’t find any thread on the matter
Thank you for your help
Hi,
Got a problem with my rear parking sensors. While it would make a long beep when reverse is engaged and then only start beeping when objects are getting closer, I now get after the long beep, 3 beeps, one pause then 3 beeps etc. Obviously, this is regardless whether something is close by or...
Symptoms are that while either turning or coming back straight I can hear a distinct clunk. Sounds like a piece of wood hitting the frame or something. Can’t say if it is front middle or rear.
It’s first occured this morning while doing very slow manoevering on very uneven terrain where the...
My passenger side mirror was working nicely until last night.
I had left the LC with both side mirrors tucked in and some low life decide to smash the passenger side. When I found my car, the housing was pulled outwards all the way and the glass was dangling from the heater wire.
i moved the...
Just came across these
It looked like proper manufacturing and somewhat plug and play
Anybody tried ?
I am thinking upgrading from my current HIR in my 98 LC

I wasn’t happy with the pedal feel and did a bleed of the fluid. Sure enough there was air coming from the front calipers.
While I could do the rear passenger side without issue, the rear driver side had no fluid at the bleed nipple.
However, clearly it is braking as the disc is hot after...
My brake master cylinder together with the pressure canister was replaced 18months ago with brand new parts. Braking was perfect after the job
After getting my car back from servicing, at idle while waiting at red light, foot on brake at equal pressure, the car started slowing moving forward. I...
Hi,
Been trying searching but couldn’t find an answer.
I had rust in the rear hatch. Got that repaired and now keen to ensure it doesn’t happen again. Dealer said it was coming from the rear glass seal but reading the forum it seems the culprit is the third brake light.
Is there a guide on how...
Hi,
When I put ignition on, as all the pumps set about doing their thing, I have a noise from the dashboard. I imagine these are flaps within the ventilation system slowly moving with a distinct creaking noise. Lasts for a few seconds but really is un-toyota...
Is that something that can be...
Hi,
I have a 98 hdj100 (4.2 TD), uk spec
I bought an iCarsoft scanner to check AHC pressures. It works very well but I am unable to read other codes (engine, body etc)
I get an error message saying the reader is either not connected or the device isn’t arrmed.
Any idea ?
last week I dropped by a toyota dealer to run an ahc diagnostic (couldnt manage to get my own techstream working, will buy icarsoft soon). The results as posted below.
I tightened the torsion bars by 4 turns clockwise on both sides which should have taken care of the slightly excessive front...
hello
I don’t have the car with me but need to prepare for TB adjustments to get proper sphere pressures.
I have the cable, software but I want to ensure I have the correct wrench to do the job. What size is the bolt please ?
Best
