If I was in your shoes, I'd go straight for the Isuzu. There is a few of the 300's(2013 and newer) between my family and friends, mostly farmers and not one has a chassis issue. I have read about chassis but Isuzu stood by there product and replaced the chassis. Apparently took about a month whilst ...

Ek sou weer die diesel filter vervang en kyk of daar niks in die lug filter se pype is nie?

Temperatruur normaal? Kyk of die radiator water dalk so charcoal kleur raak? Dan koop jy solank 'n nuwe silinderkop.

The heater faceplate you will find on 4x4direct.co.za

All other parts you can source from Living SFA or Ultimate 4x4.

Please post some pics of your truck?

Alert Engine parts?

If they can't help I guess you will have to go the Ebay route?

Thabogrobler

Had the chassis properly washed with a pressure sprayer before you start - it will prevent all the sand falling in your eyes and on you.

Thabogrobler

I would change the bearing again and this time an oil pump aswell.

If it fail again have the original engine reconditioned.

Kz conversion will not be cheap and you needs the Kz gearbox and computer box.

Hou wat jy het.

Hoe ver is jy van Okahanjda af?

That is terrible news!

If you sell it to me, R1250.00.

All others can pay from R40k upwards, heavily dependant in body condition.

I like the Lokka - fit it and forget it. I works automatically.

An ECU on the 5L? Nope...The KZ-TE yes, but the L series engines were very basic, manual fuel pump etc. ECU on a 5L? Yes sir! The first 3000D's was the 5L with old school mechanical pump. 3.0 D-E was the same 5L but this time with an electronic pump. Still slow and sluggish but at least now it had ...

Who ever is charging R55k for an overall is robbing you blind! Google for 'Engines and more' in Harties. I'm pretty sure the can supply an import for way cheaper.

Good day. My 3.0kzte double cab 2×2 fills the coolingwater reservoir up with water after 2 hrs drive and overheats. I changed the radiator, thermostat and waterpump with new. It's still doing the same. What else can I do. 385000kms. Typical symptoms of a cracked cylinder head. Buy a new, bare head ...

Mmmmmmm......welcome to the forum! You made me think real long and hard! Iirc there is a big, fat fuse somewhere near the battery, basically just after the + clamp that shouild have blown.

Is there a kickplate next to your left foot? It might be in there, just under the dash, close to the centre consol or in the engine bay.

What engine does your Hilux have? 2L might not have a diagnostics port.

Jip, selfde plek.

Hi Shane, Around 3 yeas ago I was offered the exact same vehicle, even the same colour with 128 000km for R95 000.

Hi Ashleigh,

Welcome to the forum!

I would refer you to Dastek to do a check and dyno run to ensure all is well.

Nee Jan-Hendrik, Jy wil net droogmaak! Jou trokkie se waarde le in sy oorspronklikheid. As jy meer krag MOET he, gaan eerder die 22R enjin. Speel bietjie met die head, branches 'n 57mm freeflow, dan behoort jy romdom 160-180 perde te he. 22R turbo ook baie beter agv sy crossflow ontwerp. Die Y enjin...

Hi Michael,

Search for Ultimate4x4 - they have cabs for sale.

Klink wyd.

Hoe lank gelede het jy die bakkie gekoop? Binne die eerste 6 maande moet die handelaar Pa staan vir enige gebreke maar as jy die enjin laat oopmaak het sonder om die verkoopshandelaar.kans te gee om te herstel mag dit maar moeilik gaan.

Howdy Mate,

Welcome to the forum.

Lets start with what engine are in you Lux? 2L with a turbo bolted on? Or a 2LT?

I guess it could be a worn seal or the like, maybe even a valve stem seal?

Please share more info on your vehicle?

Hallo Pieter,

Begin deur die lig te vervang en dan die ratkas olie - maak seker dat die regte olie gebruik word en dat die ratkas geflush word.

Both is Japanese, thus should be reliable, however, since Diahatsu left the country, spares might become a problem?

I would rather get another opinion at an independent workshop - Toyota workshops are know to think up ways to make you spend unnecessary money. But at some point you will look to replace the vehicle in any case? Currently the car market is way too crazy. Keep an eye out and when the right deal comes...

All this oil, Going back to my rust solution on the Triumph 2000, when it rained and you looked at the car, the water ran down the windows into the doors and out of the drain holes at the bottom of the doors and left 6 or so dirty streaks down the cills. When I opened the doors, bonnet or boot lid ...

Welcome!

Easy fix - don't break so hard! In the wet you must be gentle on the brakes or the abs will be activated.

Also if you have oversize rims and tyres fitted it will influence braking negatively.

The old spec was 260mm and the newer ones 275mm.

Dwayne Voogt from Powerlabsa supplies and installs proper clutches.

Welcome!

Could you not bring the faulty gearbox to SA any have it repaired whilst you are here? Then you know exactly what you have.

Ultimate 4x4 in Pretoria can rebuild your box or supply a secondhand unit.

I frequent Hi-Q Dastek in Monumentpark, close to Waterkloof Airforce base.

They have solved a few problems for me in the past.

Hi Mark, Welcome to the forum. Most members here are from South Africa and we do not have winters like you guys in the northern hemisphere - we seldom see temperatures below freezing point! Since we seldom have snow, we don't get salt on our roads, thus we have way less corrosion that you guys have ...

Pity we in South Africa suck on the hind tit - we still had the Mk5 with Kzte engines! D4D was only available from late 2005 in the Vigo(Mk6) models. Same with the Prado - Our 120's had Kzte's and 150's D4D's. 150's Only got GD engines this year!

31's has a 7.3% larger circumference and diameter and are 29.6% wider. The 205's are 28.9 inches high vs, you guessed it, 31 inches! 205's does 698 revolutions per mile vs 651 of 31's. Wider and bigger circumference will make it seems that your truck is heavier on fuel but if you calculate the chang...

Lockrite lockers. Niks knoppies of kompressors nie.

So nou en dan het Ultimate 4x4 tweedehandses vir baie billike geld. En jy sal dit self kan installeer - jou hande ken mos spanners en op Lockrite se website is daar videos wat wys hoe.

Ja, die Kz en eerste D4D's gebruik dieselfde 260mm clutch.

Welcome Johann,

All the listed brands are good but I would suggest to go for the Old Man EMu, purely due to their superb reputation.

Please post some pictures of your Hilux and your area?

Maybe type your vin into toyodiy.com and see if you can see the spec there?

2.4 Single cab 4x4 should work wonderfull for you!

Since no ankle biter you can enjoy the space of the long loadbin.

All the 2.8 has more than the 2.4 is around 20kw and a few airbags. If you lust after.mkre power, a Unichip(and only a Unichip!) will sort you out!

Thabogrobler

The 22R responds VERY well to gasflowing and a mild cam. I'm sure you have been visiting www.lcengineering.com? First do a branch and 57mm freeflow exhaust and if you still lust after more power, go the gasflow route. I would keep the original carb, I don't think the gains with efi is worth the costs.
