Did usual 5000 mile oil change and AHC bleeding. I did full AHC flush over a year ago and now did yearly maintenance AHC bleed. It took about 1.2 litre to bleed all 4 sides but wasted some while filling the reservoir. I will see how much is in the can exactly and add it to classified section if...

Thank you Jon. At this point I am not yet sure either to go Toyota discs and pads or M-Tech/Black diamond set. Ideally I like I am planning to complete all servicing tasks and brakes ready before May 3rd for the Classic Cruiser trip to Scotland. I went to LAR 4X4 to see and ask about black...

If the person working on the car is passionate, you should be fine. Please update how it’s come out

Thank you Juddian. I too read a lot about cracked drilled discs on various forums so drilled ones out. Some even wrote that groves or anything on discs dosen't add much other than looks. I am thinking of going either plain Toyota OEMs or C hook Mtec ones with Yellow stuff. If I go for OEM pads...

Hi Jon Thank you. This stuff is even better at pricing. Its half the cost of Toyota OEM discs but the EBC yellow stuff is expensive compared to OEM pads. I didn't knew there are so many options. Even EBC have their own disc and pad sets. I thought its easy to just pick one of the brands but...

No worries. All days that far look blank on my diary. M free to book any before something else comes up

Thank you Brett, there is almost 300£ difference between Toyota set and others. I am thinking I can add other bits like new hand brake shoes etc

Hi MGC, thank you. True, I will have to re think as I will never tow anything, mild/occassionally car goes off the road. Dosent even have any extra weight. It’s almost always just me in the car.

Hello Everyone, Its time for summer major service. This time I am changing ATF (just drain and fill, level check), AHC bleeding, engine oil+filter change and prop shafts greasing. I will do all these myself but for CV boot/axle grease leak and brake upgrade I took an appointment at LAR 4X4. I am...

Rest in peace. Never met but read his posts and remember watching his White LC video

This was my first choice too based on its size and good reviews but when I called the dealer for test drive, they told they will call me back but never called me back. I then booked Ford as the dealer was responsive and car had longest range in its class but deposit plus cost for PPF was going...

I drove this one. It was the cheapest among this range EVs, good dealer response and many more good things but it didn’t feel like a car. It felt like a cart on wheels. I would have got it if I didn’t open the front bonnet. It’s just a thin metal sheet and there is nothing on the inner side. It...

I went for EV6 finally and getting PPF. It hurts looking at all the paint damage on my Landcruiser so decided to go for full PPF on this car. Landcruiser has a lot of clear coat peeling off. This pic is from last year. Now it’s even worse. If it had PPF this could be avoided. Now the only...
