Yet another 200 series public service demo. I am repeating myself yet again but great info and video mate. Please keep them coming and I'll see you next week :)
Thanks for the kind words Greg. A couple more 200 maintenance vids coming your way before I move onto….I’m not exactly sure🤔😂. Oh well, I’ll figure it out. Have a great weekend mate👍😎
Terry I think its your Canadian accent mixed with a solid dose of "aussieisms" that keep me coming back. Glad to see you made it back from the Simmo in one piece and I hope Jill & the rest of the Jafffa crew had a ball also! Thanks again for the video
Cheers mate, I’m glad you check in from time to time, I appreciate that. The Simpson trip was epic. Now I just need to wade through days worth of footage and edit the series. Stay tuned, it will be hitting the small screen in the coming weeks/months. Cheers😎👍
Great job with great lessons ... I am a DIYer and love to do these kind of jobs to my car(s) LC200 & LC100 and encourage people to do these kind of preventive maintenance, thanks for sharing 🌹
Thanks again Terry. My 'new' (to me) 200 has 100K on the clock and was just serviced by Toyota. I reckon I'll be changing out the serpentine belt myself! My mate had a pulley let go when we were on the Gibb. It disintegrated (nowhere to be found) and the belt melted all over the place. We had a hell of a time getting that sorted - luckily we were only 90kays from a town and had a few in the convoy, but would have been more of a disaster if he was on his own or if we were several hundred kays from town. He had the car serviced by Holden pre-trip and told them it was a remote travel service, but they clearly do not check this stuff. Keep up the great content!
Thanks for the kind words mate, I really do appreciate it. That’s an amazing story of yours on the Gibb. It’s great to experience those because you can learn so much from them. Thanks for sharing 😎👍
Not wrong Peter, if that did not work next I was going to have to get out the lube😂. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
200k - well she is run in now , so start enjoying as you have.. cannot wait to see the vids for the Simpson. Heard from others wettest year ever known!
Cheers Tony. I’m editing the Simmo footage now but a few weeks away before the release. In the meantime I have a few more 200 Series maintenance vids coming your way. Cheers👍😎
A handy video. I had a new belt to put on not knowing how old mine was as the car has 280k on it so it has probably had at least one new belt. It was your pully that I wanted to check and it was a bit like yours so swapped that out too. The belt was a bit tricky but managed it in about 10 minutes. Thanks Terry
Geez & I thought I had a lack of room (obviously I need not complain 😉) I reckon that is a good run out of that pulley & belt especially with some of the harsh conditions you've had her in. Especially bulldust increases the wear on everything 10 fold. Those pulleys can be deceiving, one moment they sound ok, the next.... You know what!! It's something I keep a very close eye on, on my 4wd (well over 400,000 km) Running 2 alternators plus an engine driven compressor means my belt is not just very long but it has a couple of idlers too & I would not find a replacement in a hurry, so I not only regularly inspect it, I carry a spare new belt, plus a stock belt for Justin. They are not heavy & don't take up much room & yes, I also carry a spare new idler too! As you know, it's cheap insurance. knowing how to change it & having the gear to do so is a given but worth noting for those who don't do their own maintenance 😉P.S. knowing when to walk away & attack it again is something I struggle with (I'm a stubborn old bastard & don't like giving up, but it certainly minimises the stress levels & probably save the marriage too!! 🤣🤣
Great commentary Rod, cheers. Yes it’s only been in recent years that I have been able to walk away, older and wiser or older and gets the shits easier, I’m not sure🤔. Thanks for sharing mate, cheers😎👍
Thanks Terry for the great video and tips. Like you I cracked the shits when tensioner pulley bolt and nut dropped in the radiator shroud somewhere and wont dislodge. Easter is not food time for this to happen, it is a three day wait to get a pulley and bolt now!
@@JafffaAdventures Well, the glass of Easter red did the trick! And $60 well spent on a decent inspection mirror and pickup tool. Not sure if you mentioned to get the washer on the right way as the pulley wont turn. That is what happened to me and it was correcting that that lost me the bolt.....
Hi Terry, I noticed you run the standard air box, do you have any tricks or advice on dust ingress prevention ?. By the way keep the awesome vids coming, really enjoy your accurate & informative style.
Thanks for the kind words Peter, I’ll do my best mate. It’s the stock box but I run a Unifilter inside. The factory box/filter combination is crap I would not trust it for any of the type of travel I do. I cover this in some detail in a video in a fortnight, and it’s in my Top 5 Landcruiser modifications video in the library. Cheers👍😎
Cheers mate, the money I make on the channel goes to charity, last year it was the RFDS. That alternator swap out job truly sucks. Its not difficult, but the shittiness level is high. You will have earned a beer when you are done👍😎
Hi Terry Another great video keep up the good work Have you checked the fan hub during your service to see if it’s ok Just looking for info on how to check that it’s ok or should it be replaced at some point Maybe one of your service videos could cover it Cheers Ray
Thanks Ray, I did indeed check the fan hub but it’s a great point mate. They don’t typically need servicing but if your car is getting warm, that’s the first and easiest thing to check. Cheers👍😎
If it’s operating correctly there will be resistance in the hub when the engine is off and cold. You should not be able to spin the fan freely under these circumstances. If you have another vehicle you can compare to it can be helpful. The fan should also get a lot of resistance on it when the engine is hot, and you can hear it roar as it pulls air. Bottom line, if the vehicle still gets warm and your radiator is in good nick, it’s a probable cause. Cheers👍😎
Wow that’s hot, I’ve rarely see temps over 90 on my 200, and have never seen it get over 93. If you did not have excessively difficult or unusual driving conditions when it hit 120 (ie you can explain it with a specific reason) I would be giving your cooling system a thorough going over before hitting the CRS. Cheers mate👍😎
Hi Terry, Forget the belt inspection 🧐 You can’t see what’s good or not. Original works for me also best… Put a new one on and renew it on 50k for being safe. Used car first thing: WP, all pulley and belts go new. Plus plastic fan and thermo unit. It’s aging from heat and 100k in Australia counts double or triple what is written in the books. Happy day Cheers
I’m very happy with my maintenance schedule and attention to detail. Has worked for me for decades and I am confident it will continue to into the future. Cheers
Hi Terry Yep that’s the go… and better safe then sorry ☹️ which will cost a diem when it catches you out. Cheers and please keep sending… Live long learning…..

Love how you maintain your cars... Terry is the man.
Thanks Leon, that’s very kind of you to say. It’s served me well in the past so I’ll keep in keeping on. Have a great weekend mate👍😎

Good stuff mate. It’s really great that you can do this yourself as well😎👍
Another brilliant video Terry. Thanks mate! 🍻

You know things are getting serious if the watch has to come off. Thanks for the video, I appreciate the detail.
Not wrong Peter, if that did not work next I was going to have to get out the lube😂. Thanks for watching and commenting mate, I sincerely appreciate it 😎👍
Done mine today! Thanks for the info.
Good stuff mate, well done😎👍
Another great and helpful video, thanks Terry!
Thanks Max, I’m glad you found some value in it. Cheers 👍😎
Great info Terry. Mines at 170000, so a bit of time left lol. Cheers Steve
Thanks Steve, I appreciate you watching mate. If you have chunky hands like me, have fun😂👍😎

That’s awesome mate. It’s great to know the condition of your vehicle especially when you can confirm this by doing the work yourself. Cheers😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures Like yours it gets plenty of TLC :)
That’s the way mate😎👍
Legend! thank you very much.
Cheers mate, I appreciate you following along 😎👍
another beauty magoo ... cheers
Thanks mate, glad you enjoyed it. Cheers 👍😎

That sucks Paul. I guess it’s time to close the shed door and have an Easter beer mate. Thanks for tuning in mate, I sincerely appreciate it 👍😎
@@JafffaAdventures Well, the glass of Easter red did the trick! And $60 well spent on a decent inspection mirror and pickup tool. Not sure if you mentioned to get the washer on the right way as the pulley wont turn. That is what happened to me and it was correcting that that lost me the bolt.....
Good one Paul I’m glad you got it sorted and thanks for the tip re the washer. Cheers👍😎

No worries mate👍😎
@JafffaAdventures
I'm going to install a new brushless alternator tomorrow.
You earned a new subscriber
Cheers mate, the money I make on the channel goes to charity, last year it was the RFDS. That alternator swap out job truly sucks. Its not difficult, but the shittiness level is high. You will have earned a beer when you are done👍😎
@JafffaAdventures
Mate, I'll definitely need a beer ,hahaha
Go well Adam👍😎
👍👍👍👍👍
Thanks mate👍😎
Hi Terry
Another great video keep up the good work
Have you checked the fan hub during your service to see if it’s ok

Thanks Terry
What’s the best way to check it or do need to take it to a mechanic?
Cheers Ray
It did get to 120 on the Simpson trip and am planning to do the CSR so wanted to see if that’s the issue
If it’s operating correctly there will be resistance in the hub when the engine is off and cold. You should not be able to spin the fan freely under these circumstances.

Lots of problems with the tension pully bearings. Also in the 70 series
All fixed now👍😎
Hi Terry,
Forget the belt inspection 🧐 You can’t see what’s good or not.
Original works for me also best…
Put a new one on and renew it on 50k for being safe.

Hi there, Where did buy the Nuline pulley??
Just got it off epray mate. Cheers👍😎
Being a mentally challenged junior assistant farm hand I can say that this all looks too hard. Can you take pity on me and do mine ?
I can pity you but I can’t do yours😂😂. Cheers😎👍
@@JafffaAdventures I'll cook you a pork roast and ply you with wine. Then you might like to do it. I could supervise.
Far out, you know my weakness😂😂
@@JafffaAdventures I can prove my credentials. I have a pork roast video on my channel.
Mmmmm pork roast…🤤
