Hi guys.

New to the forum after purchasing a decent 100 series (4.5 petrol / auto) which I pick up today.

My question is.. what is the full tank capacity? I used to drive a 80 series at work and I think from memory it had a main tank and a sub tank which in total.. was around 140 odd litres? I read somewhere they are only 90 litres?? if this is the case, looks like I'll be looking for a long range replacement.

Does anyone have one of these awesome beasts or know what the deal is on the fuel capacity?

Looking forward to reading all the info on this forum.

Thanks in advance.

Hey.

Thanks Buff.

Picked the beast up today and filled her up and squeazed 138 litres in!

50 litres Sub and 95 Litres Main.

Trying to do the math now on how far 145 litres wil take me in a straight line around 110kms.

I come up with an average of 750kms but that seems not as much as I expected.

Great to see such a quick response to my question.. gottas love forums.

Awesome mate thanks.

I've read the Owners Manual cover to cover and the only thing I can't work out is the button on the transmission console that has a faded 2nd Start or similar?

Its the buton behind the ECT (Power)

Damn thing also has spotlights but I can't find anywhere to turn them off when the high beams are on - watch this space : )

I'm guessing also that dual batteries are standard - and if so, wonder what the sequence is as far as what battery/s are used to start the engine, then which battery/s are used for accessories when the motor is off?

A learning curve for me no doubt.

I'm answering my own question here but...

It seems the 2nd button is used to take off from a standing start in 2nd gear?

No clue what this would be useful for though.

I did wonder my self but then I was thinking the 2rd gear could be for river crossing and coming down steep hills. Locks her in and wont drop down to 1st or up to 3rd.

That's my thought anyway.

Starting in second gear is a common "snow-mode" feature, to avoid wheelspin when starting in slippery/icy conditions.

It’s used for taking off in snow or slippery conditions where the torque can induce wheel spin in first.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
