Thread: Landcruiser Repair manuals???

Yea I have found the printers of these manuals in nz and in aus and they dont have anything on the early prado's
Im sure i found one last year on trademe but didnt have the coin at the time

seems i have come to a dead end on this one.

Stu the first link seems correct but cant open the "torrent"

I think the torrents are way above my pay grade

Shoulda bought a Ford!

Maybe try these?? (if you havent already).

Have taken her off the road for a 6 month birthday and want to as much as i can myself.

Most of the stuff on that list as easy to do at home, the killer is the injector pump! If the fault is the pump itself, you will be able to remove and refit but the overhaul will need to be done at a diesel shop. Cost will be $1000 - $1500.

You should be able to get a genuine workshop manual from Toyota. You will pay a bit more for them but they piss all over the shitty after market manual.

Please put a genuine head on it and get the gasket set from Toyota as well. They have a graded head gasket (thickness) dependant on piston bumper height (piston protrusion) so make sure you get the correct one.

With all that work to be done to the engine, pull it out and chuck it on a stand - $140.00 from BNT
It will save you time in the long run, you will get sick of being bent over the guards standing on your head!

Still want to do it yourself??

PM me with any questions

If you can find the manual you want on that link then click on the little icon next to the filesize (looks like a dog paw, dunno why!). This will download a small file maybe 4kb only called a "torrent", save it somewhere on your PC. Then go on google and download Vuze (it's free), and install it. Then, in Vuze, open the torrent file. It will download the manual you're after. It will take some time depending on your internet speed.
It's a bit complicated but easy once you know how!

Will have a look tonight. cheers Happy

For those who want to know . Have spoken to the Local Toyota place and no manual exists because there wagons were not exported from japan as a new wagon nor were they built outside japan , so no one has translated a manual from Japaneese.
Good to know.
Oh well i will continue blind and make it up as i go.
