I think you will find that analogy might have been true years ago but modern day oils and modern day turbo construction mean it has become outdated. IIRC the first Saab Turbo's had a timed electric oil pump to cool the turbo after use but that was how long ago? do they need them now? Andy

Swim Well done to the lad, PM me your addy I'm good to send. Andy

A tip for filling gearboxes axles etc is to modify a garden sprayer, the type you pump up, with a curved bit of metal tube to hook into the filler hole. Put the correct amount of oil in the vessel and pump it up. It will fill whatever you want fairly quickly with no mess. This method is...

Hi and welcome, I've run 80's since 97 and quite often fancied a Trol and had a few test drives in 4.2's, 2.8's and 3.0's and in 04 nearly p/xed my 95 80 against a new black Trol. The 04 trol was a bit more modern than the 80 but in the end back to back it wasn't worth the extra outlay. Best of...

Bit late but welcome. Are you far from Sheff'ld? T'Andy

Just wondered Dave, which Cruiser did you have and how does the Trol compare with it? Andy

Yes if you want to come round to mine for a cuppa and a chat and look at my Trol in the garage .........:lol:lol Andy

Are they 285's on your truck Dave? Andy

Humber 4x4 I know Chris well at Humber 4x4, he's one of the Landcruiser forum lads. He has made a few sliders/ winch mounts/ bumpers for our forum members and everyones been pleased with what he has produced and at a good price. You can only ask. Andy

94 4.2 Trol 86k miles. Have also got an 89 Land Cruiser 4.0D done 298K miles 35 stamps in the book runs sweet but not as much power as the Trol. Andy

Nice one Fez, glad you've got one at last. I saw that on fleabay and am not surprised it ended up with you. There seems to have been a few recently. Andy

Welcome, I've found it a great forum so far although I don't own a Terry. Andy

I've been with AF for years, 4 trucks in all, 2 Chevys, 2 Cruisers all with full NCD £220 for Cruisers, £250 for Chevys. I consider that to be a fair result. Mind , I find them good to negotiate with cos sometimes they quote renewal prices quite a bit higher to see if they can get away with it...

Thanks for that golden nugget of advice Alex, I'm sure it will get me far in the morning when I ring up in the morning to order a couple :lol:lol:lol By the way I think you are a breath of fresh air on the forum. Andy

This is off my Trol front axle It bolts to the swivel housing,what is it called? and where is the best place to get a pair? Thanks Andy

Good old Alex, bless him. There are few on these forums with as much enthusiasm and willingness to learn. Top marks to the fella. Andy

I know of Bat21 from the LC forum. Andy

Good luck with that one :lol Andy

It depends on your budget. I've had probably 50 Cruisers in the last 18 years from a 76 FJ 45 pickup to a 03 100 series. with them all inbetween. From what I can gather the 4 cyl 3 litre Patrol engine can have issues, so can the 3 litre Toyota engine (up to 2000) The 6 cyl engines do not have...
