Longfields will fix the CV`s breaking, they can still break but only if you are fully getting it awn. The diffs are fairly strong and will be ok if in good condition and you aren`t completly stupid with the way you put the power on. Basicly don`t stay on the gas if the rig starts to bounce...

Looks good, I can remember when mine looked just like that only white.

Oh and as for keeping you upto date nothing more will happen for atleast a month or 2 as I have no money and need to fix, P/S pump as it died and I also have to replace the water pump as it got a big time leak that day. Once I have the $$$$ to do these things then it will get engineered and re...

Yep thats what happens when you run low tyre pressours for extra traction. That weekend I only dropped them to 10psi in the front and 8psi in the rear. Normally I drop them to 8psi in the front and 6psi in the rear. Since this was the 1st trip with the V8 I left them a bit higher as it is just...

Here are some pics from the 1st trip (and only) trip it has done with the 1uz in it. Oh and we camped about 200mts from the start of this hill, about 50mts up this hill (just before where it is in the 1st pic), the drivers side of the hilux was sitting against the bank in the big cutting. I...

Cool thanks dudes, I might give it a go myself with a bit of advice help from a mechanic mate that owes me a few favours anyway. Now how costly is the water pump and timing belt in Aus dollars? and what are the things I should do at a min?

After the 1st drive of my 1uz hilux the motor now leaks water really badly which runs off the bottom of the crank pully, from behind the front cover. I`m guessing the water pump has **** a seal. Since I don`t have much mechanical knowledge is this something I am best to get a mechanic to do...

Ok after somelate nights of double checking EVERY!!!!!!!! wire we disscovered the air flow meter was stuffed and was what was making it miss and back fire etc. Jumped in the camry and drove the 3.5hrs (each way) to Melbourne on Friday and got a new one. All worked sweet after putting the new AFM...

Its all ok, got a new AFM today and it now works sweet as. I had to drive to Melbourne and back and the only one I could find cost me $300 but I don`t care as now my hilux IS going for a drive. We were leaving today at 2pm, now we are leaving tomorrow morning about 6am. Thanks everybody for...

I have a mate in Melbourne doing some ringing around for me. Normaly he can find anything. But I`m getting that desperate to take this rig driving I`d drive to sydney and back today as this is the only thing stopping me taking the lux for a spin.

Anybody know of an AFM off another car that is the same or simlar.

Yes and I bet its blowing black smoke and fuils up at around 2000 rpm when you try to rev it.

Think it might be AFM as we unplugged it and it didn`t seam to make any differance (stuff all if it did). Now the next thing is to find another AFM to try. If need be I`ll drive to Melbourne tomorrow to get one. Anybody in Melbourne, or Canberra even, have one I can borrow for a week? I`ll...

I have 2 brand new 650cca batteries.

If all else fails tonight I will try to get them done tomorrow.

I just checked and its earthed to the motor. Its another thing that has never been touched.

I wouldn`t think it would even idol correctly if it was injectors nore would it hunt after trying to rev it. But then again I don`t know much about motors, this is just the way I would look at it with my limited knowledge.

The only thing on the motor that has been removed is the spark plugs and this was only last night, this motor has basicly come straight out of the half cut and was dropped straight in. Not even the loom has been removed and put back on. We did remove all the wires from it for the auto but thats all.

Mate I know fark all about motors and have never said other wise. We didn`t think it was needed and its not connected. Just trying to work out what my problem is and I need it fixed by friday luch time at the latest as I want to take it out for a drive this weekend and everything else is...
