Hey all, first time posta..
Got 1989 L300 Sportpac, Japanese import.
Head gasket went and motor too tired to fix, (380,000KM + about 120,000 with broken speedo cable).
All good... BUT...
Starts fine, runs fine. Then warms up, Idle speed increases, sweet smell of burning Glycol (antifreeze) out the backend.

i've changed the oil & filter, changed the fuel filter but the dash still looks like blackpool eluminations when driving (or not as in my case). i spoke to a gent at my local dealership who insisted the problem was being caused by either the...

Hey all,
If the wheels on my van have been oversized, do the gear ratios need to have been changed?

Bought another 84 4x4 for parts (bargain, and it has great spares) however the owner told me the 4x4 function dosent work.. Ive stuffed around with it a bit.. I cant get it to work either, It's fully engaged ok, everything looks fine... but no 4x4... now where should i start? Would it be the hubs? or maybe a transfer case? I have the spares to replace both... but dont want to waste my time.....

Hi-
I'm a total new guy, but am looking to purchase an 84 L300 4wd.
It is 1.8L petrol.
Yeah I have checked the other posts but was hoping for something more specific- does anyone have experience with this type van?
Specifically what have you found the fuel consumption to be like??
It;s either this or a hiace for me... so any help would be much...

RIght, so as many of you may know I bought this van and everything pretty much that COULD go wrong HAS gone wrong.
So, instead of bothering with it all, i've just taken the thing to the mechanic (after the starter motor also died) and said. "Fix it."
Haha, so, i'm getting an engine recon, starter motor overhaul, carby overhaul, radiator overhaul, and in a...

After removing the disconecting the drive shaft from the rear differential coupling I see a large diameter (30mm) bolt. I tried to remove the bolt with no results. I am in Siberia Russia and I need to get the rear differential seal changed out. Is there a secret to removing this bolt or do I just need an impact wrench?

Hi, I am new to this site and just wanted to ask a question about my recently purchased l300 which is a 1982 model with a 2.6 sigma engine in it.
I would like to know if there is a direct replacement fuel tank available which is larger than the 50 or so litre tank that I already have. Preferably from a wreckers.
It's either that or carry 4 or 5 jerry cans which take up...

I have a friend who has 1989 2l auto L300 Van. Do any of you gurus know if say an 1800 Galant engine & transmission will go in without big modifications, or anything else for that matter. My friend has no workshop, so whatever is done will be done the old-fashioned hard way, we welcome any advice on this matter, thanks, Mike Broadbent. Auckland, New Zealand.

Hi All
My Manual transmission in my 1985 L300 express (2WD with the 4G32) is starting to go on me. I am looking to remove the KM131 and replace it with a KM135. Has anyone tried this and is it a simple bolt in job?
If not, what 5 speed would be easiest to bolt in ?
Talk to you soon!
