Fixing a Landcruiser in South America
I hope some of you old South America hands can help me.
I am in Buenos Aires, gearing up for a drive to Alaska in my 1993 80-series Landcruiser. Here is the problem: I burned out my clutch plate in Nepal and they couldn't get a replacement, so they just did a "fix" that they said would last for 30,000 kilometres. It has worked fine until now, but I am concerned that I will have to get something done about it before long. Question is, can I just keep getting temporary fixes done, or do I definitely need to get a new plate? If so where is the cheapest place to order the part, and how long will it take to get here? Where is the best/cheapest place to get the work done? I am flexible between Argentina, Chile, Peru, Bolivia and Ecuador. Many thanks.

If you are on an RTW trip I can't imagine how a new Landcruiser clutch disk will break you whereever you get it. Get a new pressure plate also, and have the flywheel machined flat if it is scored. Specify genuine Toyota parts - it is cheap insurance against unwanted breakdowns!!!

Problem is it may fail where you least want it too. I'd get it sorted for the peace of mind.

Love the Blog
Genji,
Can't help with your question but, love your blog, haven't read all of it yet but anyone who writes: "Why bother? 3) Re-evaluation of priorities. The fact that I bought an iphone is clear proof that I was on the fast track to becoming the kind of lifestyle-wanker I've always hated. Solitude in an unfamiliar environment is a great incubator for new ideas." gets my vote  Russ
