Under body seal

spaceHopper

Hi,
I’m about it import a camper from Japan and when it gets here I want to get an under body seal done to it. Struggling a bit to find a place that does them, anywhere in Dublin or Bray would be good. It won’t arrive till early July so there’s no panic.

Plan on getting it the timing belt and a service done, would a mechanic do an under body seal as well?

It’s a 91 hiace btw http://www.supercamper.co.uk/jap-camper-import-blog/2009/05/lh119v-toyota-hiace-wizard-camper-van-by-yokohama-motor-sales-4x4-purchased-for-customer/

Thanks

CJ

Under body seal???

Try Dublin zoo.

Seriously though used to buy the stuff myself, buy a cheap spray gun, rent a compressor for the weekend (or buy a cheap one, always handy). Great excuse to go around covered in muck for the weekend.

Would prefer to get it done by somebody that knows what they are doing and have it done right

Nice looking van.. I'd suggest trying your local panel beater for a quote. Or any mechanic should be able to do it. Ideally they'd need a lift or a pit to get in to do a good job.

Sweet , with 4x4 n all , happy touring.

Since you've a bit of time before it arrives and 4x4 hiaces aren't that common it'd be worth finding out what oil etc it needs in the axles ,gearbox , transfer box etc.
Its easy to ruin a gearbox with wrong type of oil

looking through the pics, you sure its not already done as the pic showing the spare wheel looks like it may well be...
anyway i have virtually the same model (yokohama) think its the only one in ireland till yours arrives anyway.. i can see some sort of consumer unit fiited, is it wired for 230v?as japan is 110v. is it 2.8 as well?

Think that’s a super custom or Romio conversion, any inside pic? Mine is a YMC. What year is it? Did you import it yourself? How much VRT? Any other tips or problems?

Japan is 100 volt @50 to 60 Hz but the ZIG is ZF-8 I’ve found the manual on line and it says it 220 Volts but the transformer may have been changes. The fridge will be wired to the mains directly so it may be 100 Volts when I get the van I’ll take it out and have a look. Plan on change the consumer unit so that I can hook it up to mains. If the fridge in 100 Volt I’ll fit a transformer to take the 220 to 110 which should be fine, but maybe add a large resistor to limit the voltage a bit more but shouldn’t be necessary.

Saw one for sale last year on Gumtree but contact the owner but he never followed up on the sale. I was a 92 CN reg, don’t think that was you so there must be at least 2 with a third on the way.

Sent you a PM


PS they sleep 4 two adults and two kids up top but adults could sleep there
