    When I push the accelerator pedal I can hear water sloshing around,

    No its very apparant to everyone in the vehicle. I will try what you say. It seems to be an airlock but I wonderd if a valve or a thermostaic linked to the cabin heating might be the fault.

    NEED A 4X4 WITH VERY LOW RANGE FOR DOWNHILL ENGINE BREAKING ADVICE PLEASE.

    NEED A 4X4 WITH VERY LOW RANGE FOR DOWNHILL ENGINE BREAKING ADVICE PLEASE.

    Does 265/70/17 BF/Goodrich A/T K02 fit standard rims on 2009 120. does the extra diameter affect mpg?

    Well I went for some 265/65R17 112T OWL TL Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S just over £100.00 each, not as aggressive as KO2s but good winter rating and a lot less money. 2019 tires but that should not be a problem.

    Looking to put new tyres on but I cannot find 265 65 R17 only 265 70R 17. I would like 265/70/17 BF/Goodrich A/T K02 . Will the 265/70/17 BF/Goodrich A/T K02 fit the stock wheel? Does it increase the MPG? Any alternative suggestions, I need a reasonable all season tyre but not extreme of...

    Any problems with 201 bhp engine?

    I thought Toyota GB supplied it with the 201 bhp engine for a short time. There is no way the old man who drove this one owner vehicle would have had it chipped. MEMBER TONY "the chip version was done by Toyota GB with a Germany made chip called TTE , and not the Toyota factory in Japan " The...

    Tyres

    Seems the Landcruiser is prone to wear the outer on front tyres no matter what the camber castor settings. Is there a tyre choice that avoids this problem? Anyone tried these: The Geolandar H/T G056 is Yokohama's highway terrain tyre, designed for a comfortable drive. It is best for drivers of...

    Very high noise rating 76 db it does matter as I do a lot of motorway driving. As usual it's a trade off. Dave

    Tyres

    Thanks for that. The tyres on the vehicle Kumho I think show wear on the outer on the front. It looks as though the tracking is out but am sure I saw somewhere that a change to another make like the 265/70/17 BF/Goodrich A/T K02 solved the problem? Still not taken delivery of the vehicle yet.
