Paul really needs to start his own RUclips channel on car repairs and advice, he will get a lot of subscribers, and I will be the first to hit the button.
I've spent the last several decades running a repair shop and working on these Toyotas. I just want to compliment your friend. His way of thinking is spot on. You are in good hands. May the land cruiser live a long life!
Paul Marsh - please work on your own RUclips channel! Fascinating listening to your rationale and decision making here - clearly based on experience with doing this for real. Like if you agree! Thank you Paul and Andrew, good work.
This is definitely the best series yet! Paul’s got great way of explaining things, thanks to the great structured questions you’re asking Andrew. #DreamTeam
Paul is just fantastic, and Andrew never ceases to amaze with the comprehensiveness of his filming and attention to detail. I never get tired of listening to Paul. Loved the series of interviews on the Canning Stock Route. Many moons ago I did an apprenticeship as a motor mechanic. I just love Pauls logic and detailed explanations, they just so sensible. Many mechanics know these sort of things. Well, perhaps I revise that, most good mechanics do. But I have never seen anyone explain it so well as Paul.
I bloody love this series of videos. could watch for hours. Truth be told I am fascinated by the meticulous and sensible process you are using thanks to an in depth and empiric knowledge that Paul and Mr. Snyman bring to the table. What an honour would it be to participate and work with you all. Thankfully these videos bring us in close enough to feel like we are taking part in the process. Thank you for the invaluable knowledge and no nonsense attitude. cheers
Excellent as usual. I wish this sort of information were on video before I bought my 80 series. I got lucky, but this makes shopping around much less stressful and can be done quickly with relative assurance you're getting into or walking away from a bad vehicle. Thank you Paul and Andrew. And to see a shop full of qualified techs walking around is a sight for sore eyes.
Excelente. Thank you very much. I am in Venezuela and have a similar Truck. Olso twenty-year-old. Mine has the 4.5 in line six, fuel injected. It is consuming oil, so I have to put new rings on it. This video help me understand Which Parts to consider changing. I will never get rid of that Truck. I will keep it for ever...
Waited three days before deciding to watch, just to get the feeling of this series, so we track along! At least there is something to learn from every one. Good points taken.
If there was just one channel of car repairing to go offroad, I would highly recommend both of you It is so informative to tell ppl who is going to buy a second hand car, that you will pay twice the price of the car just to be confident that the car won’t break down. After all this costs and efforts, I think new honda civic would just give you superior performance than an old car.
Andrew & paul very informatif, i have a toyota surf 2004 with a V6 engine 3,4 l and 110000 km on the clock but it drive for now ok I live in Suriname and also go in the interior and here it is realy jungle is like Brazil the amazone wood
Grass seeds, insects and stones are tough on radiators so I always put in a fine stainless steel mesh (garden cloth) in front near the grill. We can get this from a local hardware or farm/garden supply store. Cheap and real effective.
Dont if you dont need it... Airflows, engine and EGTs get affected.. I suppose the trend with 2 big fogs in front of the rad... Nevermind.. Use as much shade cloth and mesh as you want...
@@King88_8 You dont drive around all the time with it on just in the grass like the stuff you get around Darwin it's called spear grass get as tall as sugarcane but has heads of sharp needles......or behind a lead foot mate.
Some great expedition spares philosophy here, although I'm struggling on the idea of plugging in the battery charger to a mythical mains socket in the wilds, so will stick to my twin alternator approach ( or take a payload hit with a spare / keep going with my idea for a 3.5kg Honda GX35 four stroke engine driving the spare alternator as APU. Overall, Paul on Toyotas is much on a par with the superb Britannia Restorations no nonsense LandRover channel on Yourube. Nice work Gents.
i was also thinking this, but I suppose the point is you would only need to limp your vehicle to the any/next electricity point to recharge the battery. And then you could limp on again a bit further to the next safe point etc etc until you can get repairs.
You cannot rely on either the availability of strong sun to drive solar panels in most countries or having mains power to charge the battery. The advice given in this video is generally excellent but I don't agree with their alternator philosophy.
Andrew ? , You should of got Paul to replace the Core / Welsh Plugs in the back of the Head and in the engine Block with Brass ones because they won't rust out and they are made out of thicker material, The ones fitted in the back of the cylinder head are almost impossible to change while the engine is in the truck so see what Paul says about changing them, In Australia when build a good reliable motor we always use to replacing them plug with Brass Ones, Ok, Hope that helps.
Most street knowledge blankets all Toyota engines as non interference. Good content this is Andrew and Paul. Woulda loved to be there. Am sure alot more such info was lost in banter that was not recorded.
I don't understand this current trend of 2 spotlights right in front of the radiator/grille, especially on turbo deisels. And then sometimes a light bar on top tube of the bull bar... Just finish it off and wrap some neon lights around it while you're at it.
Would be great to know from greats like you to know " what to look for when buying a used highmilleage Land Cruiser to be specific 100series " . Hope we get that as a video :-) :-)
the original toyota waterpumps had plastic vins. the european waterpump from valeo has metal vins. with a new waterpump you don't need a spare, its 150 till 200.000km good for.
We all have different priorities which is fine provided one has thought them through. IMO a reconditioned alternator is fine because all the wearing parts are replaced and the other parts have a virtually unlimited life. However I do carry a spare because Sod's law says that if there's a failure there'll be no sun nor mains power available. I have had to change the alternator on a trip when there was a failure of the rectifier pack (can happen owing to various causes). Without the spare I would have been in big trouble. Regarding the 170A alternator, this is surely way too large for the rest of the system and will cause big problems if it puts out a very high current (it needs the correct controller to ensure this doesn't happen). However there's a worthwhile benefit in having an over-rated component; it should be more reliable than an item which is working near to capacity.
Yes , if you are thorough you can assess the power transmission ability of the belt drive, including belt velocity and pulley contact angles etc. If the safety margin is reduced or non existent , then rapid belt wear and slippage will occur. So a much uprated alternator may need an extra idler pulley or roller to increase contact angles and/or enlarge both drive and driven pulleys to keep the same pulley ratio, but achieve higher belt speed to achieve greater horsepower transmission ability.
I had 20 year old vehicle that ended up getting and rubber bush/seal replaced over a certain period after I started riding it. One fault I had a hard time troubleshooting was worn bushes attaching the fan to the water pump pulley. I thought it was a loose timing chain and I had some other untrained ears listen, but no answer. A trained mechanic would probably have stared groping for loose elements.
Because its for free.. Sponsored.. Why do people think they need oversized tyres , offroad bumpers and roof racks on their overland vehicles is beyond me!
Yep, mains charger. But, if 170AH from the alternator won't charge the battery(s) in good time, what hope does a 220V 7AH charger have? If you go to a 50AH mains charger you are paying big money and carrying lots of weight for no good reason, and still only have less than 1/3 the capacity. Dumb idea IMO. Even using 170AH alternator is overkill - your on-board DC-DC charger for aux battery is unlikely to be more than 50AH so the factory 70AH is plenty. In these days of low amp draw driving lights, huge output alternators are not needed.
this is absolutely typical for an aluminium radiator! does not need 20 years. I have seen this before. I own a copper / bronze radiator, extremely heavy! v8 diesel, but relatively easy to repair but expensive.
Poppys Bench i get that . For a vehicle that cold be used to travel to remote places . You would think that they would use Cam chains . Last thing anyone wants is a cam belt breaking
@@stevenfoley8245 I am Nissan patrol owner,the TD42 has a gear drive for the camshaft and injector pump,this is in an aluminium "timing case" on the front of the crankcase,far better design.
I hate Timing Belts ... manufacturers love 'em because they FAIL ... Making jobs for Dealers and new car sales. A 6cyl Diesel should have a Timing Chain for strength and reliability.
If you are going to wade through rivers and high dust environs, would it not be better to re-position the radiator and condenser to somewhere safer? Preferably w an easier ability to hose it down. In older says, it was natural to use the engine to run the radiator fan but these days electric fans and directed air flows can channel air through them quite easily.
Electric fans on a 4WD are rubbish. They block airflow and don't like going under water. You could reposition the radiators onto the roof to keep them away from mud dust and flies but where would you put the solar panel then?
@@einfelder8262 I was thinking of the roof and moving the solar panels to the bonnet. But all of that requires a bucket load of works..... Or the radiators on top of the bonnet; so even if it leaks there isn't a chance of scalding the driver and rider.
You can fit an on off switch which allows you to switch off the fan when doing water crossings. But for grass seeds a seed capture mesh fitted temporary in front of the radiators works best.
Theres more risk moving critical parts like a radiator around. Once again if something goes wrong in a remote area, standard parts are easier to find. Theres no benefit in moving the radiator around, t Paul is imparting knowledge on best practice. Electric fans are rubbish
I agree with everything you guys are doing especially for the purpose this vehicle will be used but damn - the "while you're there" is getting really out of hand on this one.
Ever thought about filling the cooling system with waterless coolant - as the engine stands up to both hot and cold extreme temperatures much better? Also removes the corrosive element 'water' from the system, so stopping corrosion of water pumps, engine block and radiator, it is more expensive but I think well worth it in the long run.
I did a timing belt and bent all the valves and dented the pistons. Took to the local mechenic got it fixed payed lots and got 5 kms down the road and did the timing belt again, they used a non-genuine tensioner lesson lernt.
I always say if you are going to carry a spare carry 2 if carrying 2 stock 3 or more whether you are running solo or in a convoy it pays to carry enough spares to cater for atleast 4 or 6 repairs.. and looking on how much crap you are replacing with new parts there andrew I have to wonder whether it is better to replace with a new crate motor rather than waste money reconditioning the motor you have because by the sounds of it you are dealing with a completely abused engine bay it is safer to replace everything including the engine itself However i'm not saying not to recondition it for a spare at some point.. However looking on how much new kit replacements you are doing I have to wonder whether it be better just to replace the motor in general because you already know the engine is tainted and will it worth the time to service it on the road if it shits itself.. looking what it costs to recondition a toyota engine I wonder of the futility of doing a rework adding terrain tamers kit is worth while given the state of the engine when you got the vehicle, I have to wonder whether it is a waste of cash to upgrade better than stock then having the reconditioned engine fail at some point..
that would not make a good show now would it. The whole concept of the show is to work through restoring a old vehicle. Plus Terrain Tamer is sponsoring the parts.
Information you don’t get on other 4 wheel drive shows
Buy a LAnd cruiser from me and i tell you al off it. these guy tell a lot off rubish, selling many stuff that is not nessecary.
Paul really needs to start his own RUclips channel on car repairs and advice, he will get a lot of subscribers, and I will be the first to hit the button.
me too.
I would pay to watch Paul's channel
Seriously. I loved him on the podcast, too. I can listen to him talk machine all day and learn the entire time.
I've spent the last several decades running a repair shop and working on these Toyotas. I just want to compliment your friend. His way of thinking is spot on. You are in good hands. May the land cruiser live a long life!
Really really enjoy Paul Marsh and his expert input along with your expert analysis. Excellent teamwork!

A lifetime of hard-fought experience leading to knowledge and wisdom. Priceless.
This is definitely the best series yet! Paul’s got great way of explaining things, thanks to the great structured questions you’re asking Andrew. #DreamTeam
Really enjoyed watching it. Just like old days no repeating things. Less talk more information
Paul is just fantastic, and Andrew never ceases to amaze with the comprehensiveness of his filming and attention to detail. I never get tired of listening to Paul. Loved the series of interviews on the Canning Stock Route. Many moons ago I did an apprenticeship as a motor mechanic. I just love Pauls logic and detailed explanations, they just so sensible. Many mechanics know these sort of things. Well, perhaps I revise that, most good mechanics do. But I have never seen anyone explain it so well as Paul.
This series of Blogs is fascinating. I could watch these all day, everyday. Brilliant!!!
I really enjoy these build videos. Shows vehicle maintenance for touring/overlanding at a whole different level. Thank you.

AEWSOME!!!! MY BRAIN HURTS FROM ALL I JUST LEARNED!!! Thank you for doing these! !!!
These two guys are the ones I would like to meet in a remote African village saying "Dr Marsh and Dr White I presume!"
The more work, time and money you're putting into this project Andrew, the more we as viewers get out of it!
So good to see this level of expertise breaking down how they think and plan for expeditions. Thanks APW & Paul!
Paul should have a podcast. Could listen to this guy all day.
Love this mechanic.. a wealth of info and a great explanations
You are welcome in my workshop any time Andrew. Good to see other workshops doing quality work for you!
Watching this series is making me want to rebuild my Discovery 2 :/ Andrew you're going to cost me money!

Most of what they discus & explain is basic CDF, if you don't know what that is then watch the whole series. (cause you'll need it)
We all have different priorities which is fine provided one has thought them through.

Those mission critical parts that paul was referring to, is that list somewhere available (to buy)?
With that much amount of work done on the vehicle, and all of those new parts.
How do you break everything in, and for how long?
The only thing that needs to be broken in, are the brakes.
I had 20 year old vehicle that ended up getting and rubber bush/seal replaced over a certain period after I started riding it. One fault I had a hard time troubleshooting was worn bushes attaching the fan to the water pump pulley. I thought it was a loose timing chain and I had some other untrained ears listen, but no answer. A trained mechanic would probably have stared groping for loose elements.
100 series I purchased used from an older lady had 245k without any timing job....sketch....was done the min i got her home.
Man I wish there were Terrain Tamer kits like those for older Jeeps...
I would take only parts that would stop me dead in the water
Informative episode, but disappointed that I didn't see actual work done on the engine...
love these videos
Have you ever driven the Toyota Mega cruiser?
What about the injectors?
The timing belt or cam belt on this engine runs between the camshaft and injector pump not the camshaft and crankshaft
condenser in the UK is like that after 2 years!
I would 100% take a spare alternator!
Who else spotted the mechanic at 1 min scraping off the gasket with a screwdriver?
Andrew what company did you purchase the 170amp alt from
Michael Cant terrain tamer
Never seen a good after market alternator, reco the original.
Why do people think they need 170amps is beyond me!
Can the wiring in the vehicle handle the extra amps??
Kevin Etherton if you flatten a couple of batteries it’s easy to draw that amount, the standard fusible link won’t.
Because its for free.. Sponsored.. Why do people think they need oversized tyres , offroad bumpers and roof racks on their overland vehicles is beyond me!
Great video, I wonder if you miss the more simple days with your early Range Rover?
Not really. Then I had to do it all myself. Now I have help. And not simpler. This LC is every bit as simple as my RR. That's why I like it so much.
How is it that you always got to go on a major track the day after major surgery? At least put a couple hundred miles on it before you go to bush.
That's what I was thinking too...what?No shakedown run 2 check 4 bugs ??
What was the third charging method that Paul mentioned? Alternator, solar and .... ?
220V mains
220v I assume with a battery charger from a power point.
Yep, mains charger. But, if 170AH from the alternator won't charge the battery(s) in good time, what hope does a 220V 7AH charger have? If you go to a 50AH mains charger you are paying big money and carrying lots of weight for no good reason, and still only have less than 1/3 the capacity. Dumb idea IMO.

In these days of low amp draw driving lights, huge output alternators are not needed.
If yoû accidentally discharge,mains is an option, not a requirement.....
Why wouldn’t you just replace the whole engine with a new reconditioned one? You’ve got everything out, now’s the time to do it.
David Handley he said it had been rebuilt around 40,000kms ago, on a 1hz that’s nothing
Engine has already been rebuild.
