The difference between a caravan and a hotel room is that in a caravan you sleep on your own mattress, use your own bathroom, kitchen and appliances. In a hotel room, you sleep on a mattress and pillows that hundreds if not thousands of other people slept on, with their bodily fluids, skin cells and sweat soaked into them. The toilet is basically a public toilet, and any kitchen appliances and plates, cups etc, are often washed in the bathroom/toilet. I doubt that even 5 star hotels change the mattress and buy new linen for every new guest. Not many of us are famous pop stars who can demand a new mattress when we stay in a hotel, but, we have the option of sleeping in a clean caravan, whenever, wherever we want.

Having lived and worked on a major Resort island for 5 years, I'll think I prefer a blown engine halfway to Dingo Piss Creek.

HAHAHA the kitchen toilet segment was a right laugh. Now everyone else in the room's staring at me.

There is a reason that performance "tuning" used to be called "hotting" up. If there is no damage to the valve springs or collets, my guess would be excessive heat has caused an exhaust valve and guide to pursue a more intimate than usual relationship with one another. Sticky business, if you ask me. Not satisfied with the relationship with the valve guide, the valve has then banged the piston (or vise versa) and attempted to escape from the scene only to be stopped by two burley bouncers colloquially known as intake valves. By the looks of it, the intake valves have put up a good fight and probably subdued the exhaust valve but not without the expense of significant personal injury. $30,000 for the repair bill might be optimistic depending on the extent of the damage. I know someone who did similar damage to their Toyota V8 (also "tuned") and the vehicle was written off after he received three quotes in the mid forty thousand range. Hopefully the fellow really likes caravanning as he is probably going to be living in one for quite a while now, albeit, stationary.

The only times I have seen valve damage in a diesel is after over revving on a heavily laden descent. As a side note, I broke a valve spring in a 186 ci HT Holden. I drove it a further 60 or 70 miles to get home. The valve just went up and down with the piston. A new spring from the wreckers and it was all good.

About time the MING MOLS made their entrance in 2021 WAY WAY to long seeing as we are almost 1/4 of the way thru the year already :D

I'd love to have one of these things. I could get closer to the wilderness than any hotel or resort, and most importantly, be alone. Hotels have other people in close proximity, a deal breaker. It's like camping, except you don't have to set up a tent and you're way more comfortable. I love drinking and grilling out in nature on summer nights.

Not fair, "acoustically transparent shitter," I dropped my phone and fought to catch my breath. And then stirring while multitasking, the design meeting was a definite moment in RV land. Laughed till I choked. Dangerous video.

Root cause would be the “tune”. Kiichiro Toyoda is going to say “nah mate, you fucked with it” and the tuner bloke is going to blow you off. We all know Toyota engineers are too stupid to get the right balance between performance and reliability don’t we? (Yes that’s saracasm)

At 6 minutes, my confusion has given way to blissful clarity.

Clear glass on the shitter/bathroom in your caravan / aluminium acoustic portable shitter, always a positive in my book. Why not have the family watch you on the shitter on those rainy days stuck in your van. You could be there making your drop while your significant other is cooking in full view... yesssssssss Now that's the way to enjoy life, I think you would agree.

John, how hard would it be to design an outside dunny for a caravan and have it 3 metres hanging out the back cantilever style. Combined with the windmill on the roof it would give that traditional outback look to make it stand out from the crowd of aluminium boxes. A swimming pool on the roof would not only contribute to making the caravan less dependant on the car for handling, it would take away the island holiday envy. I leave the engineering details to the experts.

I sold cars/trucks in San Diego 20 years ago. When someone asked for a recommendation for a tow vehicle, I would ask them what they are towing. 3 out of 10 would tell me what kind of trailer (Caravan) they had and could rattle off all the weights (dry, wet, tongue, puntang island magazines stashed in a hidden compartment...), number of axles and type of hitch they use/need. I could have these people out the door with the right vehicle in about 2 hours. The other 7 would either say I haven't decided which to buy yet or say " I don't know, but it's not that big..." For the people that had no clue, I would kindly ask them to get a clue before coming back. For the ones that hadn't bought the trailer yet, I'd tell them to buy the trailer first. I could sell you a truck that can safely tow anything from 2 - 15 metric tons. Pick the trailer that you want and we can match it with the right truck.

Sometimes valves do just break for no reason. Can't comment on the Landcruiser, but I've had a 6 cylinder Isuzu engine (170 hp 6bf1) do the same thing. The engine was imported used from Japan and then put on a stationary pump unit, probably has 20,000 hours on it now. One morning the engine was down to 5 cylinders, but it was still running, a quick removal of the glow plugs found one cylinder had no compression. Removed the engine head to find the head had broken off the exhaust valve for that cylinder, which had then bashed around for a bit before getting jammed up into the valve seat...luckily the cylinder sleeve was fine. Got a used head (complete with valves), and a piston and rod from the local importer for a couple of grand and had it running again by the next day.

About 20 years ago I had a work Ute, a 70 series Toyota drop a valve onto a piston causing initially a loud clattering then a engine stop. It had done about 20,000 km at that stage and turned out to be a batch of weak valve springs that caused the valve to bounce and eventually shatter the stem. It was replaced under warranty. I believed a few other utes at that time also had the heads replaced for the same reason. I would have said a head gasket was the most likely culprit in the video, possibly caused by previous overheating incident which I have also managed to do in years gone by. Recently I had the valve stem guide in my Jabiru (6 cylinder horizontally opposed air cooled aero engine) move and allowed the top of the piston to contact the underside of the valve. Valve springs, collets, guide in perfect condition. Just not where it was originally designed to be. Bottom line, if it can happen to someone, eventually it will and not necessarily the owners fault.

HA! Yes I've seen that exact failure in an LC 4.5 D4D. Way back when a good mate worked in a Toyota dealership one came in with "a rattling sound and a bit of smoke". He gave me a call one lunch time to pop over and have a look because they had exactly that infront of them and no idea why it happened. This was also a car on a tune (a directly ported one from the states so no idea how close their fuel is to ours in the UK) and was being used at (or slightly over) its towing limit with a plant trailer pulling a mini digger about. We ended up determining that the exhaust valves (or one of them at least) had overheated to the point that they either warped their stems slightly or simply ran out of clearance with their guides. Either way there were serious heat marks when the guides came out and the inners were marked all the way around (if it was piston hit which caused it you would expect it to be more on one side) so we (me, Paul and two other mechanics) put it down to the exhaust valves simply overheating to the point of seizure wide open at which point it was basically party time in there. Our one took a chunk out of the piston crown on one side too - it looked like a valve head jammed face against the cylinder wall on one of the strokes and took a big hit. That valve head looked like a pringles crisp shape. Awesome damage. Not so awesome for the customer on his 18 month old LC which then needed an engine. Toyota stepped up on that one though and though they obviously refused a warranty claim, they did sell him an engine at cost price rather than retail but he still had to pay main dealer labour. I thought that was pretty good of them to be honest.

HEY JOHN, my acoustically transparent shitter x does not have a shit-wa so I leave my families deposits at the Park and I tow with my Kia Carnival and it does a fine job.

I love your humour

would be good to see a close up of the pistons. one of the other pistons looks to have damage as well. looks like a melted lip of the piston bowl which is typical of injector open far to long. that could be due to the tune, but it can also be due to injection failure typically due to fuel contamination.

The reflection in the shitter door would seem to place the front door directly opposite that clear glass shitter door. Room with a view? Nothing like sitting down to take in the view of nature, or the other way round.

Poor Bloke - Cracked Two off :( Seen this once, ages ago. That case was put down to valve float/ over-revving, by forced downshift. The valve springs stay intact.

I'm thinking the LCV8 valve issue would be due to EGTs being too hot in that combustion chamber. Weakens steel in the valves, perfect condition for metal fatigue. My guess is the injector was spraying different to the others, hence the difference in the temps. Remapping done by a sloppy tuner could also play a part in injector cycling, altering the combustion temps

I'm going to go with a slight coolant leak. That combustion chamber looks cleaner than the other three, even taking into account the shot-peening with the valve media. The repeated quenching of hot exhaust valves with a small amount of coolant might lead to fatigue cracking of the valve stem. Maybe I'm imagining it, but I can see a cleaned path on the gasket surface between the coolant passage and the combustion chamber for the top exhaust valve in the picture. Just my guess, and it's probably wrong.

I have seen A v8 3208 cat marine diesel spit a valve into to the piston and trough the turbo charger on most side to which it was tad expensive like replace with a new engine and was by over loading and extended oil change schedule.
