    name this part

    I accidentally broke the clip on the single cable that runs into the centre of my distributor cap. What do I ask for and can I get it new still? I hope it doesn't fall out in the meantime. ..

    valve stem seals. yes/no?

    My truck has 260,000kms on the clock now. It blows a bit of white smoke after idling which seems to be getting worse. Always used oil over the past 5 years I've had it (still burns about same amount as it did then) Is this something I should really worry about or keep on truckin'?

    belt tightness

    I had to replace an alternator on my 97 80 last week and am wondering: how tight do you guys make your belts? I went for a 10mm flex if I push hard in the centre of two pulleys. Is this about right? I've just been stressing about it a bit

    brake dash light won't turn off

    The truck is a 97 1f. Brake fluid was half way between L and F. I topped it up to F. Handbrake is off, vacuum lines seem ok (?) I thought I felt a 'wobble' while braking and next thing it was just on and hasn't gone off since The master cyl was replaced with a new aftermarket about 2 years ago...

    whining noise on idle?

    Well. It's just started to get cold here which I'm hoping is the issue but would like to know what you think Upon cold startup, my 80 is making a whining noise. It seems to go away within about 2 minutes. what do you think it might be? It had belts replaced with OEM a few years ago. Maybe belt...

    A little smoke here & there ok?

    My 80 has 250k on the clock and has always used oil since I got it 5 years ago but now it smokes for a minute after starting it if the engine is still warm from last drive. I hear it's probably worn rings but is this something I should have fixed or just keep topping the oil up like I have been?

    97 1fzfe not starting

    Hi all. My trusty 80 is making a fast click sound and not starting. The interior light goes dim when attempting to turn over and voltage on dash states under 10v so battery dead. I jump started but I get some warning lights on the dash and my thermostat gauge wasn't working and then did work...

    headlight fault

    Hey, My 80 no longer has high beam. It does if I pull the headlight switch toward me but does not if I push it forward to engage high beam. Although, the blue high beam light does engage on the dash. Just a faulty selector switch?

    97 fzj80, bugger all towing power

    Hi all. I've had my 80 for 4 years now since 180,000kms. It's now on 250,000 and I took a trailer for a run today. It is so gutless with anything towing behind.. is this a maintenance issue (compression? ) or are all 80's this bad at towing? Mine uses quite a bit of oil but that's pretty...

    Whats the go with my braking system?!

    It's happened twice now. I go to buy a replacement master cylinder and they say "It's a 1997 with ABS?" I appropriately reply "Yes" I take it home and it's the wrong one, lines come out the wrong ways (the wrong one has one line out to the left, one like top of the cylinder. So I go back and...

    Vacuum leak?

    Hi guys, For a while now I've had a brake issue, replaced the booster, same problem still. I replaced a master cyl about 2 years ago with after market and now the brake pedal slowly sinks to the floor and I have to quickly take the foot off and reapply to keep braking. Is this likely a...

    Continual brake problem, please help

    Hi all, I've been chasing a brake fault for a long time now on and off. SYMPTOM: The brake pedal slowly goes all the way to the floor when stopped at lights, takes maybe 20 seconds to do so and as soon as I remove my foot and brake again I have full pressure until it goes to the floor once...

    Electrical problem,

    Hi'yall! Last night my dash lights and auto transmission drive lights that highlight as you change through gears stopped working. I replaced the fuse (no. 2) and all is good again, except. The auto transmission lights go on and off randomly. So I'm assuming there is a bad connection somewhere...

    Where is the PHH located?

    I've looked near the starter motor but can't find it?! I don't know if that's what I should be looking for but every week my overflow canister is empty, although it doesn't normally take any more water to fill up the radiator so not sure whats going on here.. I know my heater tap could do...

    Brake pedal occasionally travels much further and no brakes

    Hi all, I wasn't going to post this but it's been going on for a good few weeks now. Sometimes when I'm slowing down or have my foot on the brake pedal ready to slow, when I do actually break harder the pedal travels twice as far as it normally would and the brakes only work half as good as...

    High oil pressure..??

    Hi I went for a long drive yesterday, I also have LPG onboard. At the lights the engine backfired, stalled and then I ran petrol all the way. Started it up just now cold and the oil pressure was sitting where it normally is when driving 100kmp/h.. At 3/4 that is, change to Drive and it drops...

    Loud 'knock/bang' Backfire?

    Hi all! I'm not sure this has to do with the LPG system but am guessing it does. I recently had to take the 80 over the pits where they stung me for a new LPG converter.. (the bit that converts the LPG to a vapour, has the coolant line running through it aswell. I notice the LPG has...

    Brake caliper lubing

    I have to replace rotors and pads on my 80 this weekend, a mate whos Dad was a Mechanic just told me he used to grease the pistons whenever doing pads. Is this possible without performing a full rebuild? Or just forget it? I don't believe there are any problems but I could be wrong too.
