Re: gurggling sound from radiator coolant overflow tank normal??

Trying to avoid another trip up island from Sooke where I live, I called them about this a month ago or so and Graham said that if van doesn't overheat and that rad fluid levels stay the same, then to not worry about anything...where do I get a new rad cap for those vans down in Vic area?

gurggling sound from radiator coolant overflow tank normal??

Hello all, last year I had the discontentment of finding out that I had a cracked engine head in my '93 L300. What prompted me to investigate the problem was that I was hearing a gurggling noise from what seem to come from under the passenger seat after turning the van off. I had never noticed this ...

L300 auto transmission not gearing down uphills..

Hello all, I have not been here in ages! I have a question concerning my L300 Automatic transmission. It seems that the van shifts up normally and then if going uphill, instead of gearing down to keep the momentum and power going, it appears to shift up a gear so now stuck at 1,200 RPM's up hill doi...
