Reviving a jdm Toyota Hilux 4x4 parked for 14 years

[@lou-dicrous]

Well, you had me with the vanity mirror for the ladies on the Hilux. I also love the overshare regarding Madam, and the man from Croatia 🇭🇷. I always feel like I'm sat on a dirty office chair drinking tea from an oily mug and watching you take stuff apart whilst having a lovely chat. My idea of bliss!

[@sicoo-hn1kl]

You could see if Hubnut would swap his Berlingo for the ZX. He said he's thinking of finding a lower mileage Berlingo for towing. The ZX is halfway there...

[@jamesy954]

That Hilux is absolutely awesome. I remember walking to school years ago seeing a Hilux Surf with all the 90s graphics. Just thought it was the coolest thing. Love the videos Al and fudge. Hands down one of the best KZbinrs on here. You make everyone's Sunday just a bit better.

I’m going proper fall guy/ Marty’s from back to the future, she’ll be mint 👍

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

Yep on order 👍

[@Hillbillymills.]

Loved the Fall Guy as a kid, even had the toy pickup 😊 had the General Lee aswell ❤

[@garethjudd5840]

And not forgetting the D4d diesel engine. Probably the best engine ever made.

[@paulreynolds1510]

Nice bits of treasure this week, the ZX would be a classic. I’ve got a 1996 mondeo V6 ghia X estate with only 54.000 it was sat for 12 years in a dry garage and I saved it from going to scrap, after sorting New keys, fuel pump and Tyres and now been in road and I’ll take it to Car shows as a classic and tell Caravan with it

[@mikes747]

That Citroen is perfect FOTU fodder! What a find!

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

Todays plan fix citreon put mot on it buy it an fotu ticket stick it up for raffle and who ever wins can come and join us for the weekend, (keep citreon obviously) hopefully we should have quite a line of 6d wagons 👍

[@19Jez93]

Raymond looked well chuffed with his new shitroen! And you’ll hear him coming a mile off in it! 😂

[@peteredwards7872]

Glorious treasure. I’m all over the Hilux and ,ahem, the Shitroen 👍👏

[@matthewwiddows6319]

Raffle the red car, definitely a summer take to a car show!!!!

[@dreammaker730]

Honestly, i love the way you just crack on Al , to see a man enjoy what he is doing is a joy . The green truck looks perfectly happy and willing to me , give the green thing a wash tye road salt will do it no good water + salt no good .

[@-DC-]

Fudges Capri really needs a Sierra 2.3d dropping in it , Diesel 4Ever ❤

[@ProjectNormans]

The Granada had the 2.5 turbo fitted even rarer find again tho!!!!

[@davelister7183]

if he was going diesel might as well put a bmw m57 in it

[@johnrhodes7487]

A Hilux crew cab, what a cool daily.

[@SaraDonnelly-z5h]

Couldn’t ask for better content, this is literally my favourite channel. You both are so entertaining to watch. The Hilux wow, what a machine, will be buying tickets. Got my tickets for the BMW 🤞🏻. Did laugh, that is what I call Citroens……no offence to anyone who has one 😬

[@johnjamieson5743]

Brilliant episode love the banter. zx looks a good one.

[@AnthonyBrown-jm4rj]

We had an L reg 306 with the same engine as that Citroen. I nursed it for 180k miles. Slow yes, but it ran and ran. Can Fudgy to fix the door - deserves to be saved. More top quality entertainment.

[@sim6699]

What a great competition prize.

[@HemmingEducation]

Great video Al! It would be really great to see more closeups when you are working in the bonnet of vehicles as sometimes it's hard to actually know what is happening when the camera is so far away. The KZbin channel Mustie1 has awesome examples of showing the practical side when working on things which is definitely worth a look if you haven't seen him before! Your Sunday videos and his make for a great Sunday afternoon sofa session!

[@bigerch85]

Tell fudgey about the Milwaukee fleeces you get . They are heated and use the hand lamp batteries . They are brilliant! Mine lasts all day on one battery

[@johnmcmahon4364]

OH wow the Hi Lux and the Citroen look like new good buys AL

[@fattmann7273]

I had a ZX in the early 90's, you could set off in 4th gear and it never stalled, it was not the faster of cars, but it was the noisiest.

[@jasonchristie9403]

Brought back memories mentioning pajero pump seal 😄 I like the hilux it's a nice truck I wish you well with it , There's nothing produced like it now days and we won't see the likes of 80s 90s Japanese 4x4s again . Myself I'm still running a 1998 pajero flared arch 2.8, had it 19 years and hanging on to it 😄 . Love the channel nice to see a proper old school workshop 👍🏼

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

Cheers fella 👍

[@blackpooldetecting8978]

Nice one Al and Fudge gonna have a pop at the halux when its ready for raffle

[@martinplayford6786]

That Citroen is better than decent, great for going to the recycling centre with a trailor.😀

[@compo308]

Great video Al and Fudgy! That blue Toyota Hilux looks quite tidy. Hopefully it will be up and running soon.

[@davelister7183]

that citroen is a raffle prize if ever i saw one, or contact retroshite and see if they want it

[@sim6699]

The Citroen would be great family classic car with good fuel economy and you can fix it yourself or at any garage in the country.

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

Yep old and simple what we are missing in the current world 👍

[@thomasfrancis5747]

Great treasure. Surprised that Surfs are now so rare - all scrapped or re-exported? The ZX would make a good raffle prize if UpnDown or Hubnut (to replace his Berlingo) doesn't want it. Silverlake occasionally has very cheap Rovers - if you could find one, eg R8, with a Peugeot diesel in it...

[@mlgs26]

Them rear leafs work well on that sprinter

[@astravanmk2]

You don’t half turn up some gems Al. Love it. ❤

[@JackofallTrades452]

Had 2 of those in the 90's. Great wee cars, but annoyingly no temp gauge on the poverty spec hatchback ones I had. Loads of torque but always sound like a bag of spanners till they warm up, a keeper for sure!! Really takes me back looking round it, thanks guys!👍

[@michaeltalbot7363]

A couple of great additions to the fleet. Love the Hilux. Keep up the brilliant content.

[@Barnsley_brev]

Great vid al. Nice to see tin tin on the workbench could we have a proper look at him

[@johnbateman3244]

Best Sunday afternoon viewing as always.

[@gazzavfe]

Defo will buy tik for the HiLux shes a beauty

[@PaddyWV]

Never a ZX fan, but that's quite a little gem.

[@dominicwebb8000]

I feel your pain pulling that pump. Did a leaky O ring on a Surf 2.4 turbo years ago … what a faff it is pulling stuff off to get the pump out. Has it had a new head? Loads of them cracked when 1st imported… you can tell if it’s a new head, they all dribble a bit of oil at the front just above the pump.

[@dreammaker730]

You know i love you tube and the things people get up to on here its brilliant , size 9 shoes born december 1977, I woild put a banana in for scale but cant post photos on you tube comments 😆

[@tallyman15]

Looking forward to the Hilux

[@1978JonBullock]

That Hi-Lux is a nice find Al.

[@simonbrader8408]

Another great Sunday lunchtime watch. Thanks guys 👍

[@lesklower7281]

Good stuff you bought another Hilux although it is diesel and an automatic and in great condition and Citroen diesel and the Citroen runs and drives definitely a FOTU contender

[@liamoification]

I would love that zx

[@rustyrover3808]

Love the hilux, Toyota at their best, definitely buy a couple of tickets for this one. Great video as usual, I really admire the way you get stuck in rather than spending an entire video talking like some other channels 👏👏👏👏

[@andrewmalyon5699]

52 minutes of brilliant entertainment, that Toyota is really nice,interesting hearing about some of your pre you tube life,shame it's only Wednesday and Sunday videos, but you have a business to run, take care guys,looking forward to Wednesday already.

[@peterashman1670]

Loving the Hilux Al, she's a real gem, you talking about the 2.4's cracking heads, and you having worked on Pajeros, the 4m40 2.8, of which I own one, are also well known for cracking heads if people dont flush the cooling system properly. Also had to have the front pump seal done as you described. The Pajeros are a cracking motor though, I've had mine since 2012 and she's still going strong, not the quickest, but will pull just about anything...will get meself a ticket for the raffle as I quite fancy a pickup...keep up the good work gents.

[@6DDIESELSDorset]

Yep indeed I’d hate to think how many 4M40 heads I’ve change lol 👍

[@AliMackMechanical]

Nice one Al and Fudge that is a top quality Toyota. Dont think av ever seen one as clean 👍🔧

[@stephenmelrose1082]

Never have I been so excited at the start of a you tube video ! Keep yer lambos that is my perfect truck ❤ I'm currently trying to get my ageing mk3 surf ready for an mot but it's fighting me by trying to shed its axle ! The self lightning has gotten serious ! Will you take a trade in ? 😂 For sure I'm buying tickets and coming down for tea and biscuits before driving it home to Scotland 😊

[@aac7183]

Another great video . Really like the Citröen ! Perfect practical transport 👍🏼

A very Warm and Good morning to You Al and Fudgy. Another Excellent Professional Production from this Wonderful Channel Al. Liking the Hilux very much. Top Quality SUV. Loving the Gorgeous Blue she has been painted with. 6D Diesels just seems to get better and better. It is very Good that you are doing these Raffles Al. What a Stunning and Beautiful vehicle the BMW is. I Totally do agree with you Al, when you said about what the vehicle is worth. It does not matter in any way, shape or form. You really are doing Great Al and Fudgy. That was really a Good Purchase you made of the French Beauty that just needs a little bit of TLC. Well done Al and Fudgy. Jonathan.

Thanks both that's just improved my Sunday Afternoon.

[@carlevans285]

I saw this on salvage market Al and instantly thought of you, looked a nice original thing. I didn't want to land you in any more French based trouble though after the 305. The ZX was absolutely for nothing though.

[@peterjones4497]

Aren’t people whingy? You are doing a great job, still gutted I didn’t get the Kangoolie. Might try for the new Toyota, although I think they can be a bit tricky to register here in France :D

[@brianfd622]

Oh no! i've got the perfect companion for the ZX, it's an Island Plastics Romini caravan that I took to Rustival last year, so i will have to bid on that too if it finds its way to Raffall

[@mrjones2009]

Yeah got rid of one plastic headache get a red grandad could be sold it's got the wrong engine n too clean and and the bmw engine turns up gotta love a Friday great stuff lads

Great content Al & Fudge.

[@martonmechanicalmachines9842]

Great content as always, interested to see more on the ZX and Hilux. I have a Suzuki Samurai derived buggy with a Peugeot 405 1.9 Turbo Diesel engine that is also full of green nasty diesel from 2011. It's a job I'm not looking forward to sorting in the spring. Keep up the great content and hopefully yours and my channel can grow like we hope this year. Cheers
