Engine warning lights Flashing

in rainor water crossigs etc?

all the lights coming on is usually a sighn youve lost your belts or there slipping after a water crossing

Alternator on its way out, probably just sticky brushes.
If you take the drive belt off and run the engine the lights stay on also.
Maybe have the alternator looked at if you don't want it to hold you up.
Also don't get caught thinking it's just the alternator playing up when the lights stay on as it may have thrown a belt.

Alternator - remove the plug and give it a good clean with a wire brush, if you have been through mud/muddy water then it maybe that simple. Else, as above the alternator might be on the way out. Have a look at the Landcruiser site here

Yes all the lights flash on occasionally. T/Belt. Alt. Fuel Filter, Some exhaust thingie. Dose not have to be raining but appears to happen more frequently at night. So could be alternator although voltage is around 14.2 and the gauge dose not drop below that.

As a Landrover fanatic, I don't claim to know much about Toyota's but electrix is electrix.
It sounds like it could be an earthing problem somewhere, instrument panel to body, body to chassis, chassis to batteries or a combination of all the above.
FWIW thats where I'd start looking.

Disco.

Poor earth.....somewhere. Not uncommon on these, but it's been 15 years since I last worked on HJ80's. Be buggered if I can remember where the poor earth was. Maybe someone else might know.

The turbo diesels were notorious for this but bthe fix is simple if it is the same problem on the normally aspirated motor.

remove the wire plug connector of the back of the alternator, spray liberal doses of electrical contact cleaner and then refit after putting some electrical grease on the terminals.

The turbo diesels have this problem and the symptons are flasing lights as you have.
Sometimes the check lights don't illuminate when ignition is turned on but before the engine is started.
Sometimes they will flash on decelleration or under load.

I usually clean mine every service.as it is only a 5 minute job.

Is the speedo broken?

My old hilx use to do that all the time when ever I dunked the front end in water (river crossings etc) it was a single wire that ran from the alternator into a connection, I got rid of the connection (hard soldered) and never had any issue again but this was only with water, maybe yours just has some grime on the connection, but if this connection is ok and yours is doing at any time then I aggree with above that your alternator is due for a rebuid. My'n use to flash up with a whole heap of lights including the water trap light for the fuel filter........Regards Steve

Thanks for your help
