Hi Graham That 100A alternator fuse is the one I am referring to. My Brothers D4D had a failure on the Alternator which caused it to blow and that is why I recognised the symptoms you are experiencing. It is possible to remove that main fuse. It has a screw holding it down which need to be removed a...

Mars

Hi Graham
Have a look in the fuse box in the engine bay - right adjacent to the battery. There is a big main fuse there and a number of other fuses which would probably have blown.

Mars

Plesier Heinrich. Jy sal nooit spyt wees dat jy dit ordentlik doen nie. Dit is net te veel werk om weer daardie seëls te moet vervang. Veral die een by die ratkas. Die Toyota seëls is duur maar sal hou. Die suierstang moes gebuig het omdat daar water in die silinder ingekom het. Hoef nie veel te wee...

Mars

Daardie is so 'n klein vergroting in verplasing dat dit op sy eie nie sal maak dat jy 'n verskil gaan agterkom nie. Omdat jy die engine nuut oordoen gaan hy sterk voel. Dit is uiters belangrik dat jy hom reg moet inloop. Hoe ek 'n nuwe enjin inloop is wanneer die bakkie die eerste keer ry gaan ek op...

Mars

Agree with Mud Dog and Firstgeer. Those engines are getting really long in the tooth now and you are increasingly going to battle getting spares for them in the future. Have you recently tried to source condensers, rotors and ignition points? Even for the ubiquitous 3lt Ford Essex engine it is becom...

Mars

Baie vindingryk!!!

Mars

The guys do soda blasting in order to prevent the panels from warping but this is much more expensive. The sandblasting can really stuff up a large panel. When looking from the side it gets a wavy appearance if it is done incorrectly.

Mars

The foam also serves to brace the panel so I am quite sure you need to stick it. The double sided tape is not going to last anyway.

Mars

Beautiful. And welcome!!!

Mars

They should use Castrol Syntrans Multivehicle. Made a huge difference to how smooth the gearbox was.

Mars

Dit is presies die slytasie wat ek op altwee ons voertuie gesien het. In albei gevalle het die thrust bearing nog glad en sag gedraai. In albei gevalle sou die koppelaar plaat nog 100 000 plus kilometers gehou het.

Ek is bly jy het reggekom.

Mars

Nee dit is juis die probleem. Dit is nie een van die erkende GPS sagteware ontwikkelaars nie. Daar is twee probleme. Die een is dat die "interface" verskil van die gevestigde goed so dit is nogal 'n leerkurwe om aan te pas en dan is als nie noodwendig intuitief nie. Die ander en groter pro...

Mars

Een ding wat ek al lankal geleer het is dat as mens al klaar so 'n klomp werk gaan doen dan is dit die moeite werd om dit ordentlik te doen. Hierdie is nou 'n geleentheid om'n klomp vlieë met een klap te slaan. Jy kan opeindig met 'n nuwe enjin. Vervang goed soos die olie seëls op die kruk-as en die...

Mars

Die eenheid in my Dakar het voor in die gesig, regs onder 'n poort (slot) waar die Micro-SD kaart wat die GPS sagteware op het insit. Ek weet nie van 'n ander manier om dit op te kry nie. Dit is ook nou nie die beste stelsel wat ek nog ooit gebruik het nie. Hy dring daarop aan om my op 'n 45 km ompa...

Mars

Don't stress too quickly. The level will drop after you have done a coolant replacement even if you bled the system. Top it up, drive it home and check again tomorrow morning. The spares places should stock them. Was the higher pressure cap on there all the time before?

Mars

Sorry I did not read your post properly. Yes that is strange.

Mars

The system is designed to work as a specific maximum pressure. If you get a cap that is below that rating it is going to release pressure with the accompanying coolant.

Mars

Yes that is good advice to replace the radiator cap. I forgot to mention that and make sure that the surfaces where the radiator cap mates on the radiator are clean and smooth to ensure a good seal there.

Mars

Hi Craig. The bakkie is already 17 years old. Over time all the components contributing to keeping the engine cool deteriorate gradually and it is usually the collective effect that leads to what you are currently experiencing. Without being too lengthy here is what I propose you do. It will entail ...

Mars

Hallo Hendrik Ek is jammer om die draer van slegte nuus te wees maar die simptome wat jy beskryf is presies wat ek ervaar het. Namate die thrust bearing die vingers slyt raak die koppelaar al moeiliker om te trap totdat die master cylinder se agterste seël die gees gee. Jy gaan nog eendag trap en da...

Mars

Lyk baie lekker. Is jou D4D standaard?

Mars

Try ebay.co.uk

Mars

Congratulations. Looks like you are getting the issue resolved now.

Mars

Uitstekend Hennie!

StuckInTheMudd wrote: ↑Wed Aug 29, 2018 10:07 am Is this what you guys are referring to? Does it work?

Yes that is the one. It works but I am sure you can get it a little cheaper. Especially off ebay but then you need to be patient.

Mars

Iv also got a racechip . Just the standard one set on stardard settings , 2 mins to fit. Question .. what about a performance air filter ? K N have got one hat fit in the hilux . Is it worth it ? Will it effect the engine in the long term . 90% of my driving is dirt roads . I need as much power as ...

Mars

The early models did not have a DPF. My 2015 3.0 D4D did not have one. It looks like a small silencer close to the down pipe. I suspect that your bakkie also does not have it.

Mars

Congratulations on a fantastic job. That took a lot of dedication and hard work from your whole family.

Mars

Dankie Jaco en Andy. Dis 'n briljante patent!

Ek wou dit nog eintlik ook noem. Ek stem saam jy sal moet hone dat die nuwe ringe kan inslyp anders gaan sy olie gebruik.

Can you post pics please?

Mars

I would take the radiator in to one of those radiator services places. They know what they are doing and if they stuff it up then you have some recourse.

Mars

Daardie sleeves is ongelooflik sterk/hard. Die werk KZTE wat my skoonpa mee ry het op 400 000 km sy head gekraak. Op daardie stadium kon ek nie 'n ridge voel in die silinders nie.

Mars

Dan beteken dit dat jou ringe platgeval het omdat hulle hul temper verloor het.

Mars

I would take it out as it is an additional drain on your battery.

Mars

Daar is 'n modifikasie wat jy doen binne in die kajuit by een van die plugs. Daar is erens 'n bespreking hiervan en hoe om dit te doen. Van die 4x2 modelle het met difflock uitgekom. Die feit dat myne net in lae strek kan aankom het my meer as een keer van verdriet gespaar omdat my seuntjie dit die ...

Mars

Welkom

Mars

Heerlik om te lees en kyk Hennie dankie.

Mars

Not worth the cost and trouble imo.

Mars

Good information. Thanks Martin and good luck with the search.

Mars

The GD6 definitely does not come with a front diff-lock as standard. When you engage 4x4 the front and back wheels are locked together as it does not have a centre differential and in low range you can engage a diff-lock on the rear differential. That should be fine for most off road situations. a F...

Mars

Many hardware stores are starting to keep them. I have even seen some at Makro and Builders Warehouse and speciality bolt and nut places will definitely have them. Not too sure about Tzaneen.

Mars

+1 on the relay. I have found in most instances that an electrical fault is actually a mechanical fault i.e. broken wire, damaged wire, loose/corroded connection or in the case of a relay which is an electro/mecahnical device burnt or corroded contacts.

Hope you come right.

Mars

The tolerances for the clearance between the vanes and the housing is critical. If it is too much the turbo won't boost as it should. If a turbo is rebuilt properly it should last.

Mars

I suspect that you may have an issue in the instrument cluster itself. I would start troubleshooting there.

Mars

Lekker post!!! Dankie

Mars

Welcome Chris. Keep us posted.

Mars

Is the oil level of the engine dropping? If it is that much oil it should be noticeable. The only place where the engine oil and diesel come close to each other (that I know of) is in the cylinder head. The fuel return rail connecting all of the injectors bolts to a channel on the cylinder head with...

Mars

Welkom Deon.

Mars

I agree with Andy. Name and shame. Their diagnosis was wrong to the extent that the only inference that can be drawn is that they are dishonest and opportunistic.

Mars

Sounds very good. Would love to see the end result.

Mars

Uitstekend sovêr. Ek geniet die storie al meer.

Mars

Ai daardie springhasies het al baie verdriet vir baie manne veroorsaak. Hoop jy kom reg.

Mars

No there should not be a run-in period for the turbo. Did you check that the movable vanes are loose and is the actuator working?

Mars

Dankie sovêr. Dit is harde werk om so 'n verslag te doen en word waardeer.

Mars

Ja maar daar moet 'n oorsaak wees hoekom hy water verloor in die eerste plek. Jy sal dit moet uitsorteer of jy gaan dieselfde paadjie stap.

Mars

Die kanse is baie goed dat jou ringe platgeval het. As hulle te warm word dan verloor hulle hul temper en word sag en seël gevolglik nie meer nie. 'n Diesel wat nie kompressie het nie sal nie start nie. Die koste sal afhang van die omvang van die skade wat aangerig is in die enjin toe die "heat...

Mars

Great to know that you got it sorted. Thank you for the feedback.

Mars

Well done Anthony. If the slave cylinder is leaking it could very likely be due to pitting in the cylinder due to rust. Brake fluid is hygroscopic and very few people including me replace it regularly enough. If that is the case you need to get a honing tool and to hone the surfaces to get a proper ...

Mars

The contacts in the relay could be burnt meaning it clicks but still no current will flow or insufficient current to get the motor running. Check the continuity of the contacts on the relay.
