Hi Guys
Im new to this forum so please excuse me if this topic had already been discussed but I couldnt find it in the search.
I have a HZJ79 series well back and on a recent trip offroading I did a water crossing (bumper level) and had my cooling fan strike the radiator puncturing it. Ive attached a picture below after it was repaired. Really makes me a bit nervous doing a long trip out in the bush with the chance of this happening.
I managed to get back into town using up all my supply of water since with the radiator puncture it was consuming 3 liters of water every 20km roughly.
Is this a common problem in the landcruiser 79 series with the 1HZ and is there a way to rectify the problem so it wont happen again.
To repair the radiator I had to crimp and seal off 5 lines. Will this cause some overheating as well.
regards
