is there more damage than i thought

[JUDWAK]

Well I was going to oblige Maverick by saying Hello THICK, how are you today, but looks like Tony has taken care of it and in any case I think Im probably thick as well. I think ive got the general gist of the thread but each new post just makes my brain hurt for a while

Bogus

you wonna see what i send the bank

It's cool, respect to you for getting this far. Forgive us taking the pi$$, but it does take some translating.

When people are lazy and type like they text on a phone, that is annoying, having to teach yourself to read and write makes it fine, I can live with it.

Dunno about the manifold, is this the exhaust or inlet? The threads could be stripped. You may have to replace the studs, or retap the threads in the head. 2 bolts won't hold it on.

thanks guys for taking a few hours the read my posts
my spelling is realy bad (learnt my self to read and wright) so please bare with me
iam thank full for the input
tonnyN sounds spot on what you said to me
my ac dont work that maybe why i will look in to it

what about the mana fold blowing its nuts off (only 2 bolts in it)
i have done about 27. thousand mile with the mana fold blowing like that
and every now and again (on tick over) it makes a sound like
a diesel JCB on easystart (or sniffer)
could i have damaged any other things by running it in this way

iam really sorry for my spelling but feel free to have ago about it i wont take it the wrong way
read it in a yorkshire acent you be fine

[JUDWAK]

when my neice gets here i get her to type for me
but untill then its just me and i dont mind any one taking the pi** its all good funn

its blowing from where the manifold just were it joins the engine
there is soot on the bulk head so its must be from the top just were the bolts or missing it was like that when i got it
i think some 1 told me lots of bull sh*t when i first got it
(cough cough bradford motors)
i was told that its never had the engine worked on
but them japs wont let a surf drive in that condition
iam realy thank full for the help
i just hope i have not done more damage than i thought

I shouldn't worry about your spelling George as my wife has 9 o'levels and your spelling is still better than hers

I think most of us get that tho.Seeing as the Mrs knew i wanted bigger tyres etc on the truck and i got some cheap then i needed bigger rims so i told her to fit the tyres on so i got them aswell and a new s/steele exhaust

[JUDWAK]

yep they dont like the cost but i got away with it this time i said its time for a sports car like a poarch 911 she went mad
next day she asked me why dont you put your surf back on the road (after i save it for 3 years) plus i went though 14 cars while this 3 years passed
fast ones slow ones diesel petrol turbos ex police cars all sorts
nothing and i mean nothing is close to the hilux
now its going to cost more for leaving it stud all that time
my dog has killed all the seats my brother has scuffed all the trim inside useing it to move beer barels and ripped the drivers seat (my poor recaros)
it was covered with cement on the paint work
and some one has hit it with the JCB with out owning up to it
but thats what i get for leaving it on my dads yard

[stormforce]

for the mot just take the anti roll bar off and then if you want you can fit it back on after the mot.I have taken both of mine off and it goes thru the mot ok

What sort of wheel nuts do you need?Are they the bevelled type or the protruding type with the washers on them as i may have some you can have cheap

For that kind of money, you could buy another one in good nick, probably with a suspension lift already done, and just use yours for spares, or sell it as a breker, and you'll be on the road next week.

[JUDWAK]

the washer type i think 90% sure but will be 100% sure in the day light
but need the studs too
them that are on it all ready just shear off with no effurt at all so
but to be safe though its best to change them all

if you let me know tomorrow for sure on the wheel nuts i will double check in the garage for the ones i got.They should all be in a bag from when i changed my wheels.
With your anti roll bar just take it off like i said for the mot that way you'll save a couple of £'s.i think i might have a couple of the brackets here also for the arb and maybe a couple of fairly new bushes if you wanted to keep the arb on but i will let you know whats in the garage tomorrow

You really need all that junk? Thats one hell of a list. I've worked on some beaten up trucks over the years, but I've never had to that much stuff to one truck!! Poor truck, what did you do to it!

for what ever reason my surf has got an intercooler (had it on when i got it)
and it is ATF thats spits out comes from some where near the gear box
rad and all fans are ok
but my surf has got an intercooler (like second rad but with 2 realy big fanns i got plate fitted to cover it so i hope its still there)
i dont know if the inter cooler is like a car or a lorry
cars dont have oiled cooled intercoolers (cools gears)
some lorrys do (use gear oil to cool the gears)

how do the sufe ones work are they just air flow r do they use ATF to cool the gear box??

i did take it to a 4x4 specleist and he was clueless with it too
i tryed every where
it drops ATF when i hear something kick in
(LN130)
i live in eastwood (top end so stop looking worryed)


oil odered thanks and all injectors

hey dont knock it!! i used to live in eastwood...
