Nino, you beautiful bastard, this is the most amazing episode ever on your channel, all hands down. I absolutely love the new production style, which is informative and engaging. Also, the old Bertha coming back to life brings memories of the episode of Top Gear when they try to kill a Toyota pickup truck and no matter what they tried it was coming back to life every single time. It's a great statement to Toyota engineers, especially regarding the quality of their builds. One last thing it looks like this car has been fitted with an LPG installation, suggested by an inlet near the fuel flap, but I've seen no connections or accessories related to LPG installation inside the engine bay.
Haha I appreciate that mate. I put a lot of effort into upping the production value and I'm glad it hasn't gone unnoticed! The car has definitely had LPG installed in the past, but it has all been removed at some point
@@NotEconomicallyViable Indeed, the production values shown here make Wheeler-dealers look like a amateurs. Very well put together. Sourcing parts at reasonable prices for these must be a pain in the ass.
Indeed! I've got myself a 2004 V6 camry with only 65k miles and half a dozen of issues totally caused by neglect and lazy mechanics. Parts are cheap even considering I'm not in the US and the thing is a total tank
Yeah, it's a shame some people have that attitude. It's also what makes bringing these cars back to life so rewarding - they deserve better than they've had!
Ah Nino! What a fantastic episode!! I owned a 2000 Land Cruiser GXR here in Dubai a long time ago. The mechanical camel of the desert!! 🐫🐫 Blew the transmission idling it for 5hrs on a beach. 🙈 Only found out after it didn’t have a transmission oil cooler 🙄. Yet again the story arc is epic. You have a natural flow for storytelling that works a treat! We just need more videos now so you can make more 💰💰!! The formula is perfect now 💪🏻💪🏻
I know what you mean. Myself having been converted to a remorsefully care-taker of a Forester SG that I took granted for 10 years. It's getting all the attention and garage coziness I can muster in order to keep that 5 speed manual + low gear baby alive.
I ran a 94 civic from 2000 up till August this year only reason I stoped was due to stupid emissions regulations that means I’d have to pay £12 to drive about on any given day, it never had the luxury of regular oil change or services, I recon I did get away with a very very lot, damn reliable sohc engine!
I bought a used 4.7ltr VXR with 89k on it when my family and I moved to Dubai. Excellent vehicle! Took it dune bashing, drove all over the UAE and Oman with it. My wife used it for mounting the kerb outside the kids school and crushing smaller vehicles in the car park of Spinneys supermarket. When we left, I sold it to a Yemeni fireman who drove it all the way to Sana’a. I dare say, 17 years later, it’s still going!
Best car video I've seen recently! You're so relatable, please please please don't start rebuilding supercars when you're big time! Keep fixing up stuff like this! It's sooooo much more enjoyable to watch. 😁
I went to see this Land Cruiser a while back. The guy selling it was working at a yard where there’s heavy machinery. I was told there was an engine problem and the guy offered the car to me for £2000 but at the time I didn’t have the space for it so didn’t go for it… I’m glad that you rescued it, it was in good nick for its age. 👍🏽
Nino mate what are you thinking . Only ever pay scrap value. Your saving grace is of course your humility and the fact that you will become a you tube millionaire. You are a natural . Get those videos out . Actually I’ve just looked at what they are fetching at that age . You did well , shows how much I know .
@NotEconomicallyViable from here on out, 1k is the max asking price for a non runner and long sitting vehicle. whether a Lamborghini or a camry. Youre doing others favors if you pay them 2 grand, mate. Good job on the recovery though and cant wait for the finish product
Nino I’m so impressed, this was an exceptional video from start to finish mate. It sucks that we have to wait so long, for these videos, but the resolution from start to roadworthy in one hour completely justifies the lengthy times between videos. You are a natural, and you give so much of yourself to the viewer. Sitting here recovering from surgery, you’ve made my day mate. Peace and love from Australia 🇦🇺
Very kind of you to say that. The wait for the next video will be shorter. I spent a lot of time working out how to make the video in this style, so hopefully the next ones will be easier! Hope your recovery goes well!
The best model of Landcruiser ever built. I had a 97 Landcruiser Colorado in the same colour, did 150k miles in it and it was utterly bulletproof. Design and build quality never surpassed.
Hi there. I also run a 1997 LC Colorado brought it in 2005 with 41k on it still are daily now on 323k just passed MOT with no advisory’s. But I maintain it with in a inch of its life. Keeping the rust at bay is getting a struggle.
The Toyota 1uz and 2uz are certainly among the most reliable engines ever made!! The STALE fuel and sitting so Long will account for the rough running just needs fresh fuel and a Good run!! Replace the old timing belt it would be FOOLISH not too!! I would surprised if could not for at least $5000bpds!
I’ve got that vehicle with the 4.2 straight six diesel , with just 130,000 miles with full service history ( I change the oil and filter every 5000 mile) , I’ve had it five years and it’s been superb , it runs and drives like new ..luckily I live in Spain now so rust problems don’t happen ..the most reliable production 4x4 ever built ..
Looks like there is an LPG (propane) fill point? If it has been run on LPG, that’s why the oil and inside of the crankcase is so clean. LPG burns clean and doesn’t carbon up the crankcase. Therefore, I don’t think it’s been starved of oil! It’s probably old oil, just looks new! 😊
Well done, mate! There's a reason why Land Cruisers have a fantastic reputation. And regarding the 'scabby' undercarriage, I have a three word suggestion for you: "dry ice blasting". I'm looking forward to the next installment.
My dad had a 2002 Landcruiser w/ 250k miles when it chunked 2 teeth off the timing belt. He drove it home over 4 hours on the highway and commented - yeah it kinda ran a little rough... Those engines are straight wonders
A vehicle from the era where Toyota’s legendary reputation was justified. What a heartwarming episode, with your little lad involved in the moment at the end.
Hi mate. Common mistake is to replace an O2 sensor as you get a code for it. Normally, the sensor is fine. The O2 sensor will throw a fault code if the engine is running too rich, like due to a faulty coil. Always fix the tuning issue before replacing an O2 sensor. Clear the codes and re check the O2.
That was really classy, everything a video like this should be. Realistic, entertaining, interesting and no rubbish about deadlines and all that crap. I said a few months ago that you were one omy last remaining car channels, just you and M539 left. The others are pretty much unwatchable, I don't care about a maclaren or a rolls Royce that has to go back, I don't want to see fanciful engine swaps that go nowhere (all the while being a front for a car comp business!) and I don't want to see a 100k car saved from the salvage yard with a 10 dollar part. I enjoy honest videos and your new format works very well. Awesome work mate keep it up.
If you want to go out in the bush take a land rover. If you want to come back alive take a Toyota. And btw I own a disco 2 and love it . Great video !

Speaking as someone who used to have a Land-rover 90 this is such a tiresome Internet regurgitation. It had 170k on the clock and spent its first 7 years as a site vehicle and then got used hard as a tow vehicle. It's still currently taxed and MOT'd and I sold it on in 2007.
Toyotas are tough cars. Bought a diesel 1998 Hilux from Copart, it started right up with no issues after being parked for God knows how long. Nice to see you again, Nino! Greetings from Brazil.
Brilliant. I like how good Toyotas from the 90s and 00s are and how they really are fixable. Not taking anything away from your efforts, but I expect that the alternator might have come back, too. The fusable links (just fuses really, I think) are quite readily available on eBay etc and most Toyotas have standard sizes of between 80 and 140 A in the engine bay. Like that you soldered as a fix. I bet many have been replaced with bent nails or fence stables around the world. Great diagnostics on the cam and when that went, I think if folded the belt over and stopped the engine PDQ. That probably saved the engine. I think the engine deserves a new belt and idler as I expect that belt is damaged. You may also find the fan clutch doesn't work as it should and in warmer conditions the temps might rise. The Toyota manuals are superb and, easy to follow and I'd like to see what you do next with the LC. It might be expensive to fuel but it deserves to be cleaned and run in so it has a new life. A good clean and prep underneath and then some Lanoguard or other treatment would be good, too. I have a NEV Toyota project vehicle and should get a sweatshirt to wear when I working on it.
Really is a fantastic car. I'm instantly a Toyota convert. I very much plan to give it some proper love in future videos. New timing kit, underside treatment, fresh interior - the works!
I’m happy to see this, because there always someone saying that Toyotas are the same as European cars the difference is maintenance. Here you have it, a complete neglected toyota, and every window works, the hydraulic suspension just needed the missing parts and a bleeding, and the engine repair was fairly easy as straightforward.
I just figured out why I am enjoying these videos - it’s like a more in-depth version of Wheeler Dealers, back when it used to be a good show! Keep it up!
As an owner of a '99 JDM Toyota Harrier (which I love!) and a long-time admirer of the Land Cruiser, this video was a total joy to watch - great job! But you MUST change that timing belt ASAP - not only is it indeterminably old but it's also been wound round itself - it's a failure waiting to happen! You've got me looking at Land Cruisers on eBay again!
@@landcruiserscotland It’s the JDM version of the Lexus RX300 but lighter, with a more powerful V6 engine, and a gearbox with sport and manual modes - its a great drive and can easily out-accelerate cars like Mazda MX5s! The engine is effectively the same as the Land Cruiser’s V8 but with 2 cylinders off, and DOHC and VVTI included. Only problem is 18 mpg!
honestly dude, keep doing more cars like this. It hits an international auidence better. My old man had one of these in Australia and seeing you go through same map sensor and coil issues he did made this video 1000% better. Keep up the great work.
Nino, it's been well worth the wait. Well done for taking on this challenge, your knowledge will grow with each vehicle. Your videos always put a smile on my face and at times really make me chuckle.
Quality vid big chap. 10 MPG. Gas conversion! absolutely rock solid vehicle from the good old days. Wouldn't mind one but 10 MPG would kill me.. Thanks for vid. cannae wait for the next one.
Absolutely love watching this video. I live in Canada (Calgary, Alberta) and own 2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited with the same 2UZ-FE engine 4.7 V8 for over 11 years now. Also, I had 2006 Lexus LX 470 for several years that was based on this 100-series Land Cruiser with the same engine and AHC suspension. Now I have 200-series 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser AX imported from Japan this year that has the same engine as well (Toyota put it in 200-series until June, 2009). It was fun and joy watching Nino restoring this vehicle with minimal spending to make it run again. I think this is the best vehicle even made in automobile history 👏
Loved the video, Looking forward to the next part. That's definitely a car that deserves to get the underbody cleaned up and rust prevention applyed and not a nut and bolt restore but definitely replace the bad bits (2nd hand of course) amd get another 200k miles out of her, I have had cars well under 8 years old with more mot issues than that old girl
You've finally found a car that was worth the effort to revive. The mighty land cruiser is the best 4 wheel all terrain vehicle on the planet for a reason. Build quality beats every other manufacturer hands down. I'm glad you discovered how good these are compared to those useless Land rover's. Well done getting this old beast back on the road, especially as you're not even a trained mechanic.
Loved watching this video Nino, partly because like a lot of us, there's real joy seeing a car come back from the dead but also because the new story telling/narrative style really works well. I imagine it's a lot more work to do, but as a viewer it's brilliant! Looking forward to the next installment.
27:36 When the Full Send works. That is the most enthusiastic engine ever. didn't even hesitate! A good sign from the Car Gods that this car wants to live. Love the Mrs' "Well, it's a grot bag, but well done." comment.
I have an Audi A4 B7 with 186k and I do a compression test every time I start it up. To do this test I put the key in the ignition, then turn it until the car starts. If it starts and runs nicely it still has compression. 🤣. It actually does have good compression 13.1 12.7 12.7 13.1, I also use Engine Restore every other oil change as "project cars" tested that stuff and it actually works. Love your channel mate. Always entertaining
Just to add Nino, you are up there with Rob and Chris at Salvage rebuilds U.K, Ben at Tasty Classics, Dean at saving salvage, Derek at Vice grip garage in the U.S. Turning your videos into tutorials is a brilliant idea for those with relatively little experience, to see how things work and, adding a bit of humour. Hope the baby is doing well.
Lots of things lesser have their own page on Wiki bro 😂. Nice cruiser btw, we have an abundance of them here in Oz and theres a reason for that 👌🏻. 200K - we classify that as just run in 😂
Many Toyota technicians regard the early 2000s as the epic years in terms of Toyota build quality and over engineering - On top Land cruisers are built like a tank with a lot of redundancy built into it .. this video is a testament to that.. Well done 👍🏽
I have a 2000 Toyota 4 Runner, with 206,000 miles on it, but NO rust as I live on the West Coast of the USA, plus a Triumph Vitesse, which is fully restored, with 30k miles, I don't have a Carly, but I do have a FIXD, which is very similar. I have replaced my battery, alternator, injectors and intake air box, which was leaking, also my O2 sensors, I have cleaned my MAF sensor. I change the engine oil every 6,000 miles
I love the nervous laugh when you are beyond your knowledge again. You learn quickly though. Loved the episode stripping the dash out of the Range Rover
Nino,thank you so much for rescuing and saving this toyota ! To me as a hardcore toyota fan ,youre a bloody hero ! Keep it en cherish it,because the don't make em anymore like this. Wachting this video was bloody brilliant ! Keep those toyota in need video's comming, and yes i subscribed. Greetings from across the channel 🙏🏻😀🔧🚘❤️🕺🏻🚘
Watching at 26:51...is the car LPG converted...also Nino with his wife and kid next to the big bruisers...the best part of the video. A happy family is a wonderful thing. Stay blessed.
Looks like youve got yourself a new project hauler. Im hoping for a trailer rebuild next!!! We have a 2010 Toyota Sequoia(similar to the 200series). 216,000 miles. Absolutely love it. Congrats on another one!!!
Hot hoist tip. Leave car in neutral , get out of car and push it into position you need. No more compressing into spaghetti/ damaging doors on the lift :)
Just read that the Carly OBD scanner is not a one off purchase. It's a licenced product, in 12 months time, your credit debit card will be charged again. 😱
Carly was useless for me showed no faults even thou the car had multiple active codes you need a Vida/dice laptop for certain Volvos and didn’t work on my dads 2011 bmw either his one said it had no codes yet there was a caution message reducing power complete waste of money
Great to see you back and great job on the old girl.That 2uz is a great engine and will just keep on running with regular servicing. First job is please for me do the timing belt after all that work it would be your luck for it to fail 😂.
@@NotEconomicallyViable Probably worth changing diff/transfer box oils, ATF (Exchange method using the transmission pump, good vids on youtube) and coolant too
@@NotEconomicallyViable My understanding was that only the 2006 /2007 with VVTi were interference engines and the earlier ones without vvti were not interference engines. Would explain why there was no damage when the previous fault occurred.
As the boys over at Salvage Rebuilds UK say, "You've got to be in it to win it." Glad it worked out for you and that it got final approval from your wife.
This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while. You're so goofy which shows honesty and integrity. You're a credit to this big tank of a 4wd. Well done, please keep going on it. You can, should you wish to, dry ice clean the under carriage, alternatively paint the underneath with Miracle Paint rust encapsulator. The products amazing. Well done, keep going. Love it. Regards, Nick, Sydney, Australia.
It's a petrol V8 vroom vroom !! I nearly spat my tea out,brilliant. Well done for resurrecting the landcruiser,Toyota vehicles of that era were quality and well built. Enjoy the ownership.
Welcome back! Great to see you back with the best video so far. Got to say I miss you groveling around on the floor, waiting for the rain to pass....and I bet you secretly do too! Keep up the good work!
Great work! I had to change head gaskets on my 2UZ-FE in my GX470. Came out great. Those engines are truly remarkable. Great work on yours! Cheers from the US!
Love your laid back videos, perfect evening entertainment. I appreciate the effort you must put in to document everything so well. Best auto channel out there! Good luck to ya 😊
This new video production style with future you narrating along present you tinkering is great, also love the explanatory bits for how stuff works etc. Great job ! Also you lucky bas....., what a great car for only 2 grand, didn't even need to change the oil...unheard off.
Fixed on our own, our Fiat Doblo 1.9JTD ourselves, need a new thermostat and sensor, needed to dismantle lots of the right side of the engine but we did it, runs sweet and no overheating, parts, coolant and a new set of rachet spanners all in '£80, garage bill well, scrap yard then. Lots of research and lots of photos taken to rebuild.😀👍
Nino, your channel has really evolved ever since you got the knit with a lift! Absolutely top notch content. Always love proving the missus' wrong when she's disappointed in a project of mine too.
So happy your back Nino, I was having to fill my you tube time watching some chap fix a Rolls Royce with his dad and mates. And keep this new format going, I loved it, the hour flew buy.
I don't even own a car, but enjoyed watching this. I did drive a Land Cruiser many years ago, £20 in fuel for a 30 mile round trip, but I enjoyed driving it. Well done chap!, satisfying eh?

That probably saved the engine. I think the engine deserves a new belt and idler as I expect that belt is damaged. You may also find the fan clutch doesn't work as it should and in warmer conditions the temps might rise. The Toyota manuals are superb and, easy to follow and I'd like to see what you do next with the LC. It might be expensive to fuel but it deserves to be cleaned and run in so it has a new life. A good clean and prep underneath and then some Lanoguard or other treatment would be good, too.
I have a NEV Toyota project vehicle and should get a sweatshirt to wear when I working on it.
Really is a fantastic car. I'm instantly a Toyota convert. I very much plan to give it some proper love in future videos. New timing kit, underside treatment, fresh interior - the works!
I’m happy to see this, because there always someone saying that Toyotas are the same as European cars the difference is maintenance. Here you have it, a complete neglected toyota, and every window works, the hydraulic suspension just needed the missing parts and a bleeding, and the engine repair was fairly easy as straightforward.
It's a Toyota!! What do you expect! They are the best!! Legend!! Welldone mate!! 💪🏾
I just figured out why I am enjoying these videos - it’s like a more in-depth version of Wheeler Dealers, back when it used to be a good show! Keep it up!
Welcome back! Cracking video, we knew it would survive. Love the new format too, definitely continue with this.
That's great to hear. My other videos weren't as creatively fulfilling to make, so needed to switch things up
As an owner of a '99 JDM Toyota Harrier (which I love!) and a long-time admirer of the Land Cruiser, this video was a total joy to watch - great job! But you MUST change that timing belt ASAP - not only is it indeterminably old but it's also been wound round itself - it's a failure waiting to happen! You've got me looking at Land Cruisers on eBay again!
I've already purchased the parts! I was very surprised by the money that some of these are fetching!
What's a harrier?
@@landcruiserscotland It’s the JDM version of the Lexus RX300 but lighter, with a more powerful V6 engine, and a gearbox with sport and manual modes - its a great drive and can easily out-accelerate cars like Mazda MX5s! The engine is effectively the same as the Land Cruiser’s V8 but with 2 cylinders off, and DOHC and VVTI included. Only problem is 18 mpg!
enjoyed this one a lot. I love the hour-long format start to finish. I hate the standard "let's milk this with 3 episodes" from others
Yeah I don't like those videos either, which is why I try not to make them
honestly dude, keep doing more cars like this. It hits an international auidence better. My old man had one of these in Australia and seeing you go through same map sensor and coil issues he did made this video 1000% better. Keep up the great work.
Give the undercarriage a wire brush, a paint and some fish oil. Sorted
Dry-Ice blaster would bring that back 80% for sure
Better than fish oil, wire brush satin black rust converter and then use Lanox (sheep wool oil) we use this over west when beach driving.
Bilt Hamber UC spray. Awesome stuff. Look them up, top quality products. It’s also made from lanolin.
Nino, it's been well worth the wait. Well done for taking on this challenge, your knowledge will grow with each vehicle. Your videos always put a smile on my face and at times really make me chuckle.
Quality vid big chap. 10 MPG. Gas conversion! absolutely rock solid vehicle from the good old days. Wouldn't mind one but 10 MPG would kill me.. Thanks for vid. cannae wait for the next one.
Absolutely love watching this video. I live in Canada (Calgary, Alberta) and own 2008 Toyota 4Runner Limited with the same 2UZ-FE engine 4.7 V8 for over 11 years now. Also, I had 2006 Lexus LX 470 for several years that was based on this 100-series Land Cruiser with the same engine and AHC suspension. Now I have 200-series 2008 Toyota Land Cruiser AX imported from Japan this year that has the same engine as well (Toyota put it in 200-series until June, 2009). It was fun and joy watching Nino restoring this vehicle with minimal spending to make it run again. I think this is the best vehicle even made in automobile history 👏
Nice one, presentation, music usage, editing and story arc have all gone up a notch, shows how hard youre working 👍🏼
Thanks bud. Glad you noticed. Been working hard to improve those things.
if you're smart, you'll keep that landcruiser. keep restoring it and it will give you a lot of memories.
Oh brother. I've been waiting for a new vid and it's a good one! Love that it worked out for you dude. Looking forward to the next one as always!
Thanks bud
fired up on the button with old fuel. a true testament to Toyota
Loved the video, Looking forward to the next part. That's definitely a car that deserves to get the underbody cleaned up and rust prevention applyed and not a nut and bolt restore but definitely replace the bad bits (2nd hand of course) amd get another 200k miles out of her, I have had cars well under 8 years old with more mot issues than that old girl
Yeah that sounds like a plan. A 400k Landcruiser is a cool prospect
You've finally found a car that was worth the effort to revive. The mighty land cruiser is the best 4 wheel all terrain vehicle on the planet for a reason. Build quality beats every other manufacturer hands down. I'm glad you discovered how good these are compared to those useless Land rover's. Well done getting this old beast back on the road, especially as you're not even a trained mechanic.
Nice workshop. This is the way to make a video. Please, keep on going.
Will do 👍🏻
Loved watching this video Nino, partly because like a lot of us, there's real joy seeing a car come back from the dead but also because the new story telling/narrative style really works well. I imagine it's a lot more work to do, but as a viewer it's brilliant! Looking forward to the next installment.
You are insane with this project - I love it ! :) Btw. great editing.
Appreciate that 🤝
27:36 When the Full Send works. That is the most enthusiastic engine ever. didn't even hesitate! A good sign from the Car Gods that this car wants to live.
Love the Mrs' "Well, it's a grot bag, but well done." comment.
The man, the legend that is Nino is back, with a brand new revival of scrap 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥 normal life has resumed 🎉🎉🎉
Haha appreciate that bud 🤝
I have an Audi A4 B7 with 186k and I do a compression test every time I start it up. To do this test I put the key in the ignition, then turn it until the car starts. If it starts and runs nicely it still has compression. 🤣. It actually does have good compression 13.1 12.7 12.7 13.1, I also use Engine Restore every other oil change as "project cars" tested that stuff and it actually works. Love your channel mate. Always entertaining
Great to see another video Nino. Hope everything was okay.
Just to add Nino, you are up there with Rob and Chris at Salvage rebuilds U.K, Ben at Tasty Classics, Dean at saving salvage, Derek at Vice grip garage in the U.S. Turning your videos into tutorials is a brilliant idea for those with relatively little experience, to see how things work and, adding a bit of humour. Hope the baby is doing well.
This is the first economically viable vehicle on the channel. Not only is it reliable, it should be worth a ton once done
It only took me about three years to find an economically viable project haha
Lots of things lesser have their own page on Wiki bro 😂. Nice cruiser btw, we have an abundance of them here in Oz and theres a reason for that 👌🏻. 200K - we classify that as just run in 😂
Many Toyota technicians regard the early 2000s as the epic years in terms of Toyota build quality and over engineering - On top Land cruisers are built like a tank with a lot of redundancy built into it .. this video is a testament to that.. Well done 👍🏽
Great video getting better all the time and what a great old Toyota takes me back to the 90ies when I bought an old one .
What a great video, Nino! All that storytelling, the drama, the suspense, the comedy, the happy ending... Masterpiece!
Thanks a ton! I put a lot of effort into this one and glad it hasn't gone unnoticed!
I have a 2000 Toyota 4 Runner, with 206,000 miles on it, but NO rust as I live on the West Coast of the USA, plus a Triumph Vitesse, which is fully restored, with 30k miles, I don't have a Carly, but I do have a FIXD, which is very similar. I have replaced my battery, alternator, injectors and intake air box, which was leaking, also my O2 sensors, I have cleaned my MAF sensor. I change the engine oil every 6,000 miles
If you look after them they'll look after you in return. Good work 👍🏻
I love the nervous laugh when you are beyond your knowledge again. You learn quickly though. Loved the episode stripping the dash out of the Range Rover
Nice to see you back!!
Good to be back!
As a lover of Toyotas, I'm so happy that you got this land cruiser running beautifully again. Great work mate. Keep up the fantastic work.
lovely to see you back,
Nino,thank you so much for rescuing and saving this toyota !
To me as a hardcore toyota fan ,youre a bloody hero !
Keep it en cherish it,because the don't make em anymore like this.
Wachting this video was bloody brilliant !
Keep those toyota in need video's comming, and yes i subscribed.
Greetings from across the channel
🙏🏻😀🔧🚘❤️🕺🏻🚘
When you're turning the crankshaft there will be a valve open on at least one cylinder, luckily this isn't an interference engine 👍
Really annoyed at myself for not including it in the video, but I actually had all four camshafts removed. Big oversight on my part.
Watching at 26:51...is the car LPG converted...also Nino with his wife and kid next to the big bruisers...the best part of the video. A happy family is a wonderful thing.
Stay blessed.
Looks like youve got yourself a new project hauler. Im hoping for a trailer rebuild next!!! We have a 2010 Toyota Sequoia(similar to the 200series). 216,000 miles. Absolutely love it. Congrats on another one!!!
Yeah the idea with this car is to use it as a tow rig. I'm just finding out that Trailers are mighty expensive though!
@ thats what you need a PROJeCT trailer!!! Yay content!
@ Haha I’ll take a look into it!
Hot hoist tip. Leave car in neutral , get out of car and push it into position you need. No more compressing into spaghetti/ damaging doors on the lift :)
Discs were rusted and binding so couldn’t be pushed 🙂
Just read that the Carly OBD scanner is not a one off purchase. It's a licenced product, in 12 months time, your credit debit card will be charged again. 😱
Carly was useless for me showed no faults even thou the car had multiple active codes you need a Vida/dice laptop for certain Volvos and didn’t work on my dads 2011 bmw either his one said it had no codes yet there was a caution message reducing power complete waste of money
Thanks
Hope all is well Nino - looking forward to the new project 👍
Thanks for the generosity once again bud! Everything is good here. Hope you're good.
Great to see you back and great job on the old girl.That 2uz is a great engine and will just keep on running with regular servicing. First job is please for me do the timing belt after all that work it would be your luck for it to fail 😂.
Thanks mate. Yeah I already have all the new timing gear - very worried it's still a ticking time bomb
@@NotEconomicallyViable Probably worth changing diff/transfer box oils, ATF (Exchange method using the transmission pump, good vids on youtube) and coolant too
@@NotEconomicallyViable My understanding was that only the 2006 /2007 with VVTi were interference engines and the earlier ones without vvti were not interference engines. Would explain why there was no damage when the previous fault occurred.
As the boys over at Salvage Rebuilds UK say, "You've got to be in it to win it." Glad it worked out for you and that it got final approval from your wife.
Cruiser is in every way better than any product land rover has ever made
Ive owned 7 cruisers and they all have been worked hard. Keep up on the services and they will go forever.
A Toyota broke down?!
What did they do to it???
I’ve got a 3.0 mk7 hilux invincible and it is invincible!
Amazing work buddy! Please completely restore the car and make a couple of more videos. Totally deserves a full restoration.
loving the flute!!
My new favourite instrument
This is one of the best videos I've seen in a while. You're so goofy which shows honesty and integrity. You're a credit to this big tank of a 4wd. Well done, please keep going on it. You can, should you wish to, dry ice clean the under carriage, alternatively paint the underneath with Miracle Paint rust encapsulator. The products amazing. Well done, keep going. Love it. Regards, Nick, Sydney, Australia.
Appreciate that, Nick 🤝
It's a petrol V8 vroom vroom !! I nearly spat my tea out,brilliant. Well done for resurrecting the landcruiser,Toyota vehicles of that era were quality and well built. Enjoy the ownership.
We have been missing you here in South Africa, welcome back. Toyota is one of the trusted and loved car brands in South Africa.
Welcome back! Great to see you back with the best video so far. Got to say I miss you groveling around on the floor, waiting for the rain to pass....and I bet you secretly do too! Keep up the good work!
Great work! I had to change head gaskets on my 2UZ-FE in my GX470. Came out great. Those engines are truly remarkable. Great work on yours! Cheers from the US!
This engine is an absolute joy to work on. Thanks for watching 🤝
Vids are getting so much better. Little documentary bits are awesome.
Brilliant episode. Congrats on getting the ol' girl back on the road.
I had a lx470, basically the same car, in Cambodia for 8 years. It got beaten to death but never broke. Amazing machine.
Love your laid back videos, perfect evening entertainment.
I appreciate the effort you must put in to document everything so well. Best auto channel out there! Good luck to ya 😊
Brilliant video lino really enjoyed it .glad you're back ledgend.
This new video production style with future you narrating along present you tinkering is great, also love the explanatory bits for how stuff works etc. Great job !
Also you lucky bas....., what a great car for only 2 grand, didn't even need to change the oil...unheard off.
Appreciate that bud 🤝
Great to see you back man and the family looking well! Good old LandCruiser keeps knocking them down!
Fixed on our own, our Fiat Doblo 1.9JTD ourselves, need a new thermostat and sensor, needed to dismantle lots of the right side of the engine but we did it, runs sweet and no overheating, parts, coolant and a new set of rachet spanners all in '£80, garage bill well, scrap yard then. Lots of research and lots of photos taken to rebuild.😀👍
The production is absolutely fantastic in the episode. Video and audio synchronisation with the commentary is awesome 👍🏽
Nino, your channel has really evolved ever since you got the knit with a lift! Absolutely top notch content.
Always love proving the missus' wrong when she's disappointed in a project of mine too.
This is one NICE vehicle! ~ the smile on your face at the end said it all ~ AND a leather interior? WOW
So happy your back Nino, I was having to fill my you tube time watching some chap fix a Rolls Royce with his dad and mates.
And keep this new format going, I loved it, the hour flew buy.
I don't even own a car, but enjoyed watching this. I did drive a Land Cruiser many years ago, £20 in fuel for a 30 mile round trip, but I enjoyed driving it. Well done chap!, satisfying eh?
Nino, great job! It was worth the wait, very good video :D
Epic rescue!
I have owned a 60, 80, 120 (prado) and now a 200 series. Makes me want to get a 100 series to “complete the garage”!
