coolant

Yesterday my lower pipe to radiator hoses blew a hole and leaked most of my coolant. I figured I might as well replace all of the radiator hoses. Can someone direct me towards the best way to buy them all? I have seen kits with just the three large hoses, kits with the three large ones plus...

Hi everybody, I crossed half of Europe, the Mediterrainean Sea and reached the Moroccan Atlas. What became obvious since riding the highways in south of Spain is the that the coolant temp rises on long-stretched up-hill sections. Even more now in Morocco on the steep pass roads. It is 1/5 of the...

I believe this one came from a 1974. No cracks on bottle, some overspray. Bracket is nice with minor pitting Asking $45 shipped conus

Does any supplier have or put together a quality coolant hose set for an FJ60? Mine is an '86. Complete restoration so all hoses. If I have to buy them individually, do you know of a brand and source? Thanks in advance!

Yesterday after a short spin, my truck started to overheat. It went from normal temps to 280+ according to the Scangauge. I was able to get it home, I'm sure I should have just stopped driving when it happened, but I was close and there were other things going on at the time, which led me to...

Hey guys, new owner of a 2007 LC here. I recently purchased this and have been going through and doing some maintenance. When I purchased it I noticed a coolant smeel inside the cabin, very faint and random but I took it to a shop they did a compression test and said the radiator needed to be...

Grab your Pepto-Bismal, your burping days are over. Got some advice from a friend to ditch the burping and get with the OEM tools coolant pressure refilling system. Also works as a scuba system. OEM Tools Coolant System Refiller Kit, I Test It, No More Burping Coolant On Landcruisers.

Hey Crew! I know this has been answered many times but I wanted to resurface this issue with a few questions. Problem: Overheating while idle. Fluctuates from below middle line to above middle line. She has a completely new cooling system as of a few months ago with the exception of a fan...

Hey ya'll! I just recently got my 91 Fj80 so I'm new to these forums, new to this truck, and somewhat new to the self-done maintenance stuff. Appreciate any help! So the symptoms I'm experiencing: - Sweet smell after driving - Windows fog up when using the heater - Leaking coolant (green...

Recently bought a 1985 HJ60 running the 2h engine and the coolant reservoir tank is consistently overfull and does not drain back into the radiator. My engine temps haven't run high and there are no visible leaks, although I have only taken the truck on relatively short trips (5-15 mins). The...

Hello, I'm currently rebuilding my throttle body and found a leak on a plugged port. OEM parts are not available. Is this repairable? Everyone I call locally quickly says this needs to be replaced. Anyone have any ideas? Weld it? Thanks! Josh from Orange County CA

I am completing a timing belt/water pump replacement on the family hauler (thanks to OTRAMM for the guidance and directions). I have searched coolants extensively on the forum and most users recommend sticking with Toyota Red or Pink in some cases. I have access to Mobil Delvac Extended Life...

Ok, so I've been going through as many radiator posts as I can find and there's ben some really good information, like THIS POST HERE where it mentions on Page 3 about a good Koyo Sidenote: I'm not seeing any discoloration on my radiator top tank housing, and the dash gauge never (as of yet)...

Hi everyone! Another question! I found post #5 of THIS THREAD ABOUT FIPG which kind of answered a question I had in reply to one of my own threads on "is there any way to externally KNOW if the head gasket has already been replaced or not?" I had wondered what the "Half moons" were under the...

Hello, I have never had any over heating issues with my 80 until today. The AC went out then noticed it was over heating, I put 2 gallons of water in it since I was out running errands when it hit. The water runs straight through and comes out up high under the intake manifold, I cant see...

I have a 97 80 Series with FZ-1FE engine. I've had it for 13 years and I reckon it has always run a bit hot. Lately it doesn't seem all that hard to get the needle in the top half of the gauge. Eg. cruising at 100kph on highway with or without a load but especially if in "heavy" sand even if...

Hey guys, trying to figure out what the problem is with my 2005 LC. just got it from my inlaws a few months ago and noticed that the coolant was low in the reservoir. not empty, but at the low mark. filled it up and noticed that the level dropped again. started looking and found coolant on the...

Hi Guys, newbie here. Been happy using my Uview 550000 Airlift vacuum/purge tool. Worked great on my 2003 Honda Gold Wing. Have you purged your coolant system with this tool on your LC 100? Now I'm trying to use it on my 2000 LC. I was checking my fluids and noticed my coolant reservoir...

I noticed a very small but near-constant stream of red coolant running from the passenger front yesterday after a short drive. Today I crawled under and found nothing leaking down below so inspected the top and the leak appears to be coming from the upper part of the radiator on that side, or...

Hello, I have a 2000 LX 470 that seems to loose coolant while parked. I fill up the expansion tank to the full line, then about 8-12 hours later, the level is below the full line by about 1-2cm. I have not driven the car at all in between the fill and when I measure, and don't see any leaks...
