Car started to hiss on boost from somewhere around the brake master to intake area was quite loud in car. Also had a 4wd and hicass light on that I've been working out over last few weeks.

Was also due for a service so did oil filter , oil , plugs and got given a set of second hand good nick super spark plugs and a igniter , also moved a few earths around as voltage had been low later since a sparky worked on it .

Car started great volts were over 12 my guess 13-14 everything on including lights no probs, 4wd still not working and hicass lift on ,

Took it for drive steering the best it's been very light everything going well take of in first and then rolling give it a steady boot full - pulls hard then once off it develops a miss ? Like it's dropped a cylinder limp home and it's idle almost normal till I give it some revs and the miss is very loud

Turn of and it doesn't want to start again

Clutch pedal was making weird noises and felt crap so pulled that off today and found a few things fixed it up and sealed it up put it back together also found pipe between intake and brake master thing in the corner was a weak seal .. Clutch is now feeling good but it won't start still - the starter is cranking hard volts are over 12

I don't want to be negative. But it sounds like you are having a problem, then you immediatly jump on here asking questions, then you go look at stuff and find problems.

Please go and have a proper look over everything and test things out properly first

    • I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!
    • Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.
    • The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!
    • The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
