@@MudModsBeersWhat about dust ? , the air boxes on these engines , including 200 series , are notorious for leaking dust past the filter & If you go back to the round ones on a 100 series like mine , the clips are piss weak & break off at the slightest bump , the only answer is after market . I put a moonlight fab stainless box on my 100 that takes a big panel filter ( they were developed for 70’s & 200’s but adapt to 100 fte ) not advertising for them & it cost plenty but it does seal real tight.
It was around 300,000 kms when when first heard a knock. Fast forward two years and it was progressively getting worse. We think it was piston slap maybe from water getting into the engine before we bought the car
I thought land rover parts were dear not no more what a joke I could never spend money on that vehicle but I did find this video interesting thanks Barry.
Thanks mate, exactly why we did it. No intention of selling this, especially now that they are not making the V8 anymore, and as you say we know the rest of the car is in really good shape. Great base to build on now. Thanks for watching!
Absolute madness. Like insane asylum type stuff. You have spent big money on..... A complete stock/factory unit. When you could have gotten upgraded pistons and put good stuff into your engine and freshened up and be a far better unit than the stock one you put in In a gross, poorly maintained chassis Couldn't be bothered cleaning up the old stuff you put on a brand new engine?
Hi, got 2 vdjs, a 2009 pre-dpf, and a 2021...could you please give a bit of history on the motor with the cracked piston? eg, How many km, what type of driving, service intervals, tuning mods? Does the new motor come with a factory warranty, and will doing other mods to the car void it? Thanks, and all the best...
Thanks for watching. The motor (& vehicle) had around 300,000kms on it when we first heard the click. Had it diagnosed by a couple of mechanics who both agreed it was piston related. They presumed water might have got in at some point and on compression damaged the cylinder and caused the piston slap. We’re still not sure it was a cracked piston or slap. Motor wasn’t tuned as far as we know. Did have service history when Andy got it at around 290,000kms. Did do some hard tracks and wasn’t babied. There is a 12 month warranty on the motor. Not sure if other mods bill viod it, I’d say if it was engine related it probably would.
@@MudModsBeers Thanks for the info...vehicle could have been sold by an unscrupuious vendor who dunked the motor and knew what the likely outcome would be? Maybe check the diffs too...I bought a 2006 Troopie, and when fitting difflocks found silt in the diffs...had to replace the pinion gears. It was an expensive 'hidden history'. All the best..
I'll take your advice on that and get the diffs both checked. We've had it for about 3 years now without any other issues, that was the main reason we went with the new engine a the rest of the car is in really good shape for it's age. Thanks though, bloody unscrupulous vendors! Hope the Troopie is going well?
@@MudModsBeers Troopie's going great thanks...didn't have diff breathers when I bought it, and reckon someone stood it in a creek too deep...oil in the diffs was good, but leading hard edge of the gears was really badly worn...
My opinion of why the piston likely cracked would have been due to the injectors - old & worn out injectors cause these issues all the time on toyota D4D engines. Very simple to check the health of each injector quickly with a scan tool but recommended replacement is something like every 200,000kms regardless of the feedback values. They aren't like the old 6 cylinders, they last forever and cheap as. Another common failure on the older vdjs is the oil strain pickup - they're only plastic and go brittle over time and send small chunks of plastic through the oil galleries causes bottom end failure (spun bearings etc). Also very easy to replace and cheap!! Recommended every 100,000kms Oh and be careful who you get to service the engines as well - if they forget the little tube in the middle of the filter, it'll suck itself in and starve the engine of oil. will lead to failure 500km or more after the service.
@MudModsBeers Ute died 9 May, haven't driven since . Frustrating . Mechanic got ute 3 June , engine out overnight . New reco engine arrived on the 17th June , still no ute 👍🇭🇲🦘
Before we did it I would have agreed with you. However the parts add up very quickly. New engine, injectors, 1600nm clutch, new gearbox, new turbo, new radiator, new fan box, new fuel pump, new starter. Then add in manifold deep cleaning along with lots of ancillary bits and pieces plus labour.
Agreed, however as it's a long term car, we wanted to keep it super reliable and not have to spend any more on it for a long time. Also the $39k includes the new gearbox, heavy duty clutch and about. The engine itself was around $16k + injectors.
Bahahah sorry guys but you should have spent your money on an engine that is completely shit. The 1VD are hands down the worst diesel engine that Toyota ever made. Don’t buy them!
great opportunity to put a sealed alternator in
Agreed, however had to draw the line somewhere!
How bloody good!!! Keen as to see what’s next 🔥🔥
Thanks legend!!! Hope the troopy and travels are both going well!!
@@MudModsBeers even better than I expected 🔥🔥
Cracked piston on a 70. Any chip tuning? just curious.
No tuning, think water damage before we bought it

Still looks good for a 17 year old vehicle!
Thanks mate! Bit of work gone into her!
Upgraded air filter box should have been on the list, other than that,all the best.
So much more we could have done, had to draw the line somewhere, would have been nice though. Thanks for watching!
How many KMs on the clock when it started knocking?
Any specific reason it let go?
It was around 300,000 kms when when first heard a knock. Fast forward two years and it was progressively getting worse. We think it was piston slap maybe from water getting into the engine before we bought the car
Crazy, should have just bought a mahindra and put that cruiser in the bin, cost the same money
Ah! Never thought of that
I thought land rover parts were dear not no more what a joke I could never spend money on that vehicle but I did find this video
interesting thanks Barry.
Thanks mate
LR parts are not expensive compared eg to a Yota or a Nissan, esp Nissan from my experience here with both brands.
Still cheaper than a new car and you know your vehicle smart move

Just over a week

Cheaper to buy a new one 😂
It is a new one
*Taxpayers paid $39k for a brand new engine…..
Why’s that
Of course they did
@@craigf7188if it's a work vehicle there would be some of the cost claimed on Tax
Tell us you know nothing about the tax system without saying you know nothing about the tax system…😂😂😂
Private vehicle, nothing to do with the taxman
Mate you got ripped off. 39k for that is insane.

More money than sense
Not much sense! 😂
Can we get subtitles for that old bloke talking
Thanks
Just listen in Irish :)
😅😅
You could of put a powerful motor in it for 39k
