Presenting myself... BJ40 France

[RemcoSeegers]

Hello all, I have been reading quite some posts now and it became time to register. I got myself a 1977 BJ40 that needs a full restoration. It is a hobby, it is not the first car I am doing but I am totally new at Toyota. I live in France, before that 30 years in Spain and originally from The Netherlands. The car is a diesel, as far as I understand it is the first serie. 4 cylinder and a huge amount of work...

This is where I am right now, the body and all parts need to be blasted & repaired. But, my main focus is now on the electricity part. The whole wiring is very f...d up, cables cut, 2 cables burnt, parts missing, etc. So I need some help here. I will post a separate thread for that purpose.

For now, greets from a very hot France (over 40 degrees Celsius, about 110F...)

Welcome in the Mud/mad, your new home!

PS. Wow, 40C (104F) in Toulouse now? Hotter than in Peloponnese (Southern Greece)!

That is what I thought but somehow I can't manage to get the correct one.

Hi. If you're in France you should know SERIE4.fr It's a French forum with plenty of technical information and downloadable manuals and guides. I believe you should have a B motor. I attached the diagram I have for my BJ40. Hopefully is the same you need.

I also attach a Spanish version of the B motor service Manual
