Yes very doable, did my 2700i about 2 years after also finding oil in No 3 plug well, each plug well has a round seal in the tappet cover. I changed each seal as well as the tappet cover gasket. While you have the tappet cover off check the valve clearance, on mine with half the mileage that yours h...

That is it.

Sounds like a bad connection either at the sender as Pieter suggested or at the cluster itself, could also be a dry joint on the cluster board. Mine was the gauge itself, I checked all the connections/cleaned with electrical contact cleaner and put it back but it didn't improve until I changed the ...

Repair shop managed to find a similar one just have to modify it slightly.

My 02 Hilux has a bad leak in the Air Conditioners Evaporator, repair shop says they cannot find a replacement anywhere in SA? Will have to get a custom one made up, just waiting on the quote for this. Does anyone know of anywhere I might be able to get a new evaporator? I have contacted Gemini just...

I was thinking about 4x4's but that's interesting, didn't know that. If a recall Toyota only added a limited slip diff on the 2.4SRX when it was introduced in 1995 and it wasn't on the previous 2.2 SRX, I have a June 1995 CAR magazine that has the test on the 2.4SRX and if I recall it mentions that...

I don't think we got any standard Hilux's that were fitted with LSD here in SA. As far as I can recall they were available as an after market addition and were not necessarily always original Toyota.

My 1995 2.4SRX has a limited slip diff that was factory fitted but its a 4x2.

GTO

Toyota will sell you one, as part of a complete gear lever assembly, for the lovely price of only 2.5k. Too bad if you only need the dust cover. "It's a complete assembly" :( Not for my 2.4SRX it was just the small boot as per this link(33555): http://www.japan-parts.eu/toyota/eu/1984/hil...

Last night i decided to strip off the tanks of the old radiator.

I found a generic gear lever boot at Midas and with a bit of cutting of my old one and the new one was able to manufacture a Frankenboot to keep the dust out. While I had the gear lever covers off I found that the dust cover boot on the gear box was trashed too, so I cut it off and took it with me ...

Go to one of the boat manufacturing companies. Usually when they are not so busy they tend to assist with small projects as fibreglass is there speciality and they do it professionally. They can make a new console from a sample usually at reasonable rates. [/quote] thanks for the tip will keep that...

GTO

Installed new radiator yesterday late afternoon during load shedding!(no point sitting at the office doing nothing)

I have used the Toyota coolant for years now after reading about how good it was on this forum, I rarely have cooling system issues since switching to it.

GTO

Radiator King reckon the top tank is more prone to cracking due to hot water input there.
My top tank is a different colour to bottom one, bottom is black top brown colour?

GTO

They have 2 types a Genuine one and a cheaper aftermarket one.
Genuine is R 3190 and aftermarket R 1490.
I have ordered the Genuine one will collect later today.
I am taking my old radiator with me to compare.

GTO

Take the old one to an upholsterer, surely they can fabricate a new one based on the old one? -F_D That's what I did with mine, McCarthys Auto Trimmers did mine last year but I had them also repair and respray my center consul as it was badly cracked. I had tried to repair it myself a few times but...

Thanks for the tip.
Probably going to buy from Radiator King, I have bought from them before and their service was very good.

GTO

I came home and noticed pink coolant under my 2002 2700i Hilux, the top tank of the radiator has a fine straight crack a 10cm long about midway on the engine side. It took me a while to figure out where it was leaking but if squeeze the bottom hose I can see the coolant coming out of the crack. Can ...

Mine was done by Carburettor Sales & Services in Paarden Eiland but was around about R 2200 to overhaul if I recall. Their service was very good, only thing I noticed was that the fuel level in the sight glass was the same as before they overhauled the carb which was much higher(almost near the ...

GTO

You guys talk about an aircon up screw, mine has always just idled lower when the compressor cycles, I was under the impression it was due to fact that on the 2.4SRX model it was due to the fact that aircon was an optional extra when buying new and the unit is a Dunair system that was factory fitted...

GTO

Mine used to idle high when on choke as well but once the carb was rebuilt(first rebuild) 2 years ago at 300000km it now idles around 1100 rpm whilst on choke. My carb was running very lean due to worn butterfly and shaft. Also rebuild solved my pinging problem that I had for years, which was obviou...

0.8mm to 1mm and then at the bottom 0.2mm

Last night I installed belt, it works but gap issue on clutch seemed to an issue as clutch inches forward slowly when disengaged, so I added a thin extra washer and now its fine.
But what worries me is gap is larger than than 0.6mm specs but compressor works fine?

I got the bearing and the Loctite 660 today, Loctite was R 560! :cry: Fitting bearing to pulley was easy using my vice with a block of wood that I cut a hole out off with a hole saw to go on the outside of the pulley around the dust cover and the old bearing on top of new , turned the vice in and it...

GTO

Bearing has definitely turned on the shaft but there doesn’t seem to be a ridge and it still measures 30mm.

GTO

This looks like the Loctite to use if its worn:

GTO

How would you hit it back onto the shaft, with a large socket on the pulley?

Not sure I have a socket that will fit over the dust shield.

GTO

Pulley was very loose when still attached, but like I said was very tight on the shaft.

Bearing was rough but then I sprayed it with brake cleaner to clean and it seized up and was not easy to free up by hand, now it turns but not easily.

Mars wrote: ↑Fri Apr 12, 2019 6:56 am Yes it probably means the aluminium is still good. Don't remove any of the aluminium by sanding it.

Thanks, what about applying some loctite around the aluminum shaft when assembling?

GTO

Where the ID of the bearing slides over the alu casing of the aircon, check for play there. If the bearing is stuck it tends to eat away the alu in which case the new bearing will not fit loosely. The aircon guy around the corner from me recons that when the bearing turns on the casing you need a n...

4th and 5th gear in the box are not that strong (especially 5th), that's why I suggested 3rd - much less chance of doing any damage.

would the tightening method not work for loosening as well?
