Q: Toyota Landcruiser?
The end of the exhaust is constantly drpping oil, can any body help me by letting me know what the fault is.

Thanks

A: If it is oil you have issues and need to have it brought to a shop. make sure it is not just water colored black because of carbon buildup in the exhaust system.

Q: How much power does a 1982-87 Toyota LandCruiser FJ60 have?
How much power does a 1982-87 Toyota LandCrusier FJ60 have that came from the factory?

Also why did they drop the 4 speed manual transmission in favor of the automatic in 1988? I personally thought that was a poor move for the LandCruiser, why couldn’t they keep on with the manual transmission?

A: an 82-87 cruiser has a 2f engine which has about 165 horsepower and 210 ft.lbs. of torque @ 1800 RPM/{lots of grunt, but not much speed.:)

Q: What kind of MPG can I expect from a 1980 toyota landcruiser BJ40?
Im looking to get a 1980 toyota landcruiser diesel. Im wondering what kind of city/highway mpg I can expect to get?

A: A friend of mine has a 78…He gets 18 to 20 With larger tires and alot of gear on it….

Q: what years will my 1992 toyota landcruiser 3rd row fit?
hi we havve a 1992 toyota landcruiser and are wondering if anyone knows or knows how to find out what years of the landcruiser they fit. Thanks!

A: I’m assuming you’re in the US, in which case you have a 1992 FJ80 Land Cruiser. (the Land Cruiser name covers many models around the world, even during the same model year)

In that case, your third-row seats should fit all 91-97 80-series Land Cruisers. The actual models are FJ80 and FZJ80 in the US, and also HDJ80 outside the US, but they’ll all have the exact same body style as your 92. Your 92 seats are probably cloth though, and all US Land Cruisers had all leather upholstery after 93 or 94.

Q: Cost to install a trailer hitch to Toyota Landcruiser?
I have a standard 1998 Toyota Landcruiser.

How much does it cost to install a trailer hitch.
I want to tow a light trailer.
Do I need to tell them to set up the electrical stuff too – like breaks or will they do that automatically?
please include a price that includes this hitch. Thanks…

A: 2-3hunderd and they will do the electric stuff automatically

Q: Options/Diagnosis of blown head gasket in 1995 Toyota Landcruiser?
I have a 1995 Toyota Landcruiser, and it is overheating when I take it on the highway (not in town.) At some point the engine released (radiator fluid? muddy water?) though I was not there for the event. It is not leaking and no white smoke from the exhaust. There is no noticable leak internally. Mechanic has flushed three times, and now removing to “clean” and see if the bottom of the radiator a)can get water flow and b)has a crack or blown head gasket. Says I may need new radiator if cant clean. First, what do these symptoms indicate? Next, how much should it cost for new radiator? Last, is there a way to repair a radiator? I’m not a mechanic, and feeling slightly vulnerable to the specialists. Thanks for any advice you can offer.

A: If it’s a diesel engine, the oil cooler may be leaking. Another possibility is the Auto tranny cooler in the rad. Have the oil anilized to determine which type of fluid. A lot cheaper than tearing the engine down.

Q: If I buy a Toyota Landcruiser and like Air Cooled seats not available, then can install Lexus A/C salvage seat?
I would get a seat out of a Lexus 570 that is air cooled and put it in the Toyota Landcruiser and hook up the electronics? Is this possible? Who can I ask to make sure this is possible???
Thanks, TJW

A: NO dealer will do this for you because it violates Federal safety standards. Only a seat meant specifically for that vehicle can be installed in it. If any modifications are done to it and you’re hurt in an accident, the dealer can be sued big time.

And most repair shops won’t do it either. There’s just way too much liability concerns involved.

Now if you want to do it on your own, you’ll have to be sure that the L/C wiring harnesses are the exact same as the Lexus. You have to be sure all the connectors are there and that the impedance and voltage across the wires are the same since it will be connected to the fuse box.

You’ll also have to check for relays and other circuitry that operate the cooling seats to be sure they’re in place too. Without them, the seat functions won’t work. The final thing to consider is mounting the switches for turning on and off the cooling system and a potentiometer for the degree of cooling you want.

It’s a lot of work that will require a lot of research and even more hours of labor. But if you have the ingenuity and the time, try it. Otherwise, save up a few more bucks and get the Lexus equipped the way you want it.

Q: Would there be a problem with buying a petrol-run toyota landcruiser that has done 200,000kms?
I have always heard diesle engines last longer, would a landcruiser engine that has done 200,000 kms be just about done for?

A: It may be problems with the engine after 200.000kms.Yes, diesel engines are much better,last longer,bigger torque.
European diesel engines are much better than US engines.(power,fiability,)
The diesel engine can run twice as much petrol run engines.
For example the Audi racing team choose for the R10 Le Mans car a V12 TDI diesel engine(650Bhp)

Q: 1993 toyota landcruiser heating unit buttons stuck, help?
My 80 series toyota landcruiser heater unit low high settings button is stuck in one setting. Even if i try to hit the off button or any other buttons it will not change….

A: I would try spraying contact cleaner in and around the switch.

Q: The lights on my toyota landcruiser won’t turn off when it rains hard. Why?
Whenever it rains hard the lights on my 2003 toyota landcruiser won’t turn off and the battery eventually dies. The dealership has repeatedly said that they can’t find anything wrong, but it continues to happen. Does anyone know why, and how I can fix it? Thanks.

A: i own a repair shop,and you got a bad switch or a relay drawing moisture on it making them stay on,like this,you,ll need to have it checked out real good to see what it is causing this to happen,you may have to take it to a good mechanic to see if he can figure it out these can sometimes be tricky to solve,good luck,i hope this help,s.

Q: Would you spend 5600 dollars on a 92 Toyota Landcruiser?
It only has 82,000 miles on it. But I need something that is a little bit reliable. Your opinion? Can I trust a car that is 17 years old even if it is a Toyota?

A: $5600 for a Landcruiser, no matter the year, is a good price.

Having owned many Landcruisers myself, you will find them to be reliable as far as major items go. Little things might go bad, but a repair never cost me more than $200 in parts (of course, I did the work myself).

I would say take it to a Toyota Dealer and have them do a complete inspection before you actually plunk down the cash, because you never know: This might be the one Landcruiser that tuns out to be a money pit. It might cost you some money up front for the inspection, but it will give you the piece of mind to know exactly what is wrong with the vehicle and help you decide whether or not it is the right vehicle for you.

Q: How reliable are the electronics on the Toyota Landcruiser 200 series?
Looking to travel around the world for 2 years, and investing in a car which i’ll be living in! I’ll be spending a lot of time in the sahara and deserts. I hear landcruisers are the most reliables 4×4s. But how reliable are the electronics? Do they fail occasionally? Are they easy to fix by yourself if you’re in the middle of nowhere?! Do you suggest any other cars which are comfortable and provide high performance?

A: Here’s some basics. Just like that of a manual transmission, the automatic transmission’s primary job is to allow the engine to operate in its narrow range of speeds while providing a wide range of output speeds.
Without a transmission, cars would be limited to one gear ratio, and that ratio would have to be selected to allow the car to travel at the desired top speed. If you wanted a top speed of 80 mph (130 km/h elsewhere), then the gear ratio would be similar to fourth gear in most manual transmission cars.
You’ve probably never tried driving a manual transmission car using only fourth gear. If you did, you would quickly find out that you had almost no acceleration when starting out, and at high speeds, the engine would be screaming along near redline. A car like this would wear out very quickly and would not be drivable.
When choosing between manual and automatic, one of the considerations is power.
If you want the most power from your engine, going with a manual transmission versus an automatic is most likely going to be your best bet.
While some modern automatic transmissions, i.e. CVT transmissions, manumatics, and conventional 4 or 5-speed automatic transmissions allow for some excellent acceleration, there is still usually a substantial difference in 0-60 times between these types of automatics and a 5 or 6-speed manual transmission.
For example, an automatic equipped Dodge Neon has a reported 0-60 MPH time of approximately 10.5 seconds.
The same Neon when equipped with a 5-speed manual has a reported 0-60 time of 8.1 seconds; a huge difference.
While most cars do not have this large of a 0-60 MPH gap between auto and manual transmissions, 99 percent of the time you will receive noticeably better performance from a manual gearbox.
The acceleration offered from a vehicle when equipped with a manual transmission is usually superior for a number of reasons; most predominantly due to gear ratios and the availability for more precise shifting. To explain, if you own a car that receives 200 horsepower @ 7,000 RPM, but your automatic transmission will up-shift under full throttle at only 6,000 RPM, you probably will never feel the full amount of power that your engine was made to offer. So, your engine may be stamped with a 200 horsepower rating, but because your car is equipped with an automatic that up-shifts too soon, you may be missing up to 20% of available power. On the other side, with most manual transmissions, you can usually take the engine revs to redline (or past). This enables you to get the most power possible to the front, rear, or all 4 wheels under full throttle take-offs.
So, is fuel economy a huge issue?
If you answered yes, then going with a manual transmission is probably going to be your best bet, although it is far from your only choice.
Many newer cars with automatics have an EPA rating of only 1 or 2 MPG less than the same model car equipped with the manual.
With everything in life, there are exceptions to this rule. Some vehicles get better mileage (5 mpg or more) as an automatic compared to the manual, most notably in Toyota’s like RAV4, and the FJ Cruiser.
If this is the case, most people are not going to save a significant amount of money on fuel costs going with the 5-speed manual (especially if you do a lot of city driving).
Since the majority of drivers do not manually shift for economy (or know how to), the 1 or 2 MPG that is lost with the automatic can easily be gained.
Maintenance/Repair costs:
Even though the automotive world has come extremely far with refining automatic transmissions, most automatic transmissions still need to be serviced far more often than manual transmissions (some auto manufacturers state that their manual transmissions never have to be serviced with fluid changes, etc.
Manual transmissions are also usually slightly/much cheaper to fix when something mechanical goes haywire. This is not always the case, but on average, a manual transmission will cost you less to repair than an automatic in the same type of vehicle.
The clutch disc in manual transmissions does need to be replaced on occasion. There are many factors that determine how long a clutch will last such as driving style, the material the clutch disc is made of, and the amount of city vs. highway driving. Clutch replacement is often a labor intensive task and can cost several hundred dollars if performed at a repair shop.
You need to identify your Needs:
The engine that your car is equipped with makes a huge difference to which type of transmission should be chosen. To explain, if you are looking to buy a car with a 1.5 liter 4-cylinder that pumps out 62 horsepower, and 75 lb-ft of torque you will most likely want/need to go with a manual transmission. Since power in this case is extremely limited, you will need to make the most out of your engine for hill climbing, passing power, etc.
On the other hand, if you’re looking to purchase a car with a

Q: how much does a 2000 toyota landcruiser cost?
my man bought me a truck,, i am so happy but it is kinda big for me to drive. i have been driving slowly. i just was curious how much does this car go for and what does it have to do with being a lexus. he swears it is a lexus, but the back of my car says toyota land cruiser. thanks.

A: Lexus is the luxury division of Toyota, but yours is a Toyota Land Cruiser. I’d say a 2000 would be worth about $20,000, cause a new one is about $55,000-$60,000.
