exhaust exhausted

[sajjap]

Hiiiiiii everybody

I have just purchased a 1991 2.4 td hi lux surf, therefore i have joined what looks like an interesting owners club

I need help. The rear section of my exhaust has snapped, the local dealers can't help as the car is an import, does anyone know where i can get my hands on a good priced rear section of the exhaust.

Also is it the same/similar to a uk hi-lux pick up or the 4runner??

heeeelp

check out www.toyotahilux.com or www.milneroffroad.com and see if what you want is there. When my exhaust went my mechanic custom made one using bits from a Hilux pickup, as he said there was a difference (still trying to become mechanically minded, and failing myself).

Hope this helps

A company called milners supply all of the three exhaust sections, Depending on auto/manual etc etc.

When you contact them be sure to have you chassis number to hand, Thats the number starting LN130 I think.

Get Milners at 01629 734411 or www.milneroffroad.com

hope this helps.

Im sure Arvin (Timax) make an aftermarket one, maybe if your going to fit it yourself you could try your local Partco (there all over the uk see yellow pages)

A timax unit will be aluminsed rather than normal mild steel thats been painted, so should last a good while too.. (comes with 2 year warranty normaly)

Hope this helps a little..

Thanks guys

Does anyone know if the exhaust is the same/similar to a 4runner??

Also another problem that i have just noticed, when i try to hold the revs @ 2000 there is a weird knocking noise from the cylinder head, any ideas?? has anyone else had a similar problem or indeed is it a problem or just a normal charateristic of a diesel engine.

Pretty similar to the 3.0V6 petrol 4runner, needs a bit of modification at the front of the main silencer but it can be done.

I have just e-mailed Quicksilver to see what sort of money they want for a custom system as they only list normal Hi-lux's. ANyone had any experience of them???

Its far easier to get a 2.4 Surf rear section than a 4Runner one (see my post in the V6 section! ). The milners one is fine, and Roughtrax are £40 more, but have a 3 year warrentee.
