    Changing rear tail light bulb on a LC4 D4D 04/2006 Land Cruiser.

    Please ask others on here for confirmation but I am pretty sure that I bought these for the tail light on the Land Cruiser : H3 12 VOLT 55 WATT HALOGEN BULB X2 | eBay - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

    Repairing scratches.

    Thank you @Towpack - very helpful yet again. I had thought about the weathering concept, the Cruser is an 06 reg. But it is always kept inside and because of where it is on the front of the wheelarch I think the paintwork is still good. You will all have realised by now that I know nothing about...

    Repairing scratches.

    Thank you yet again @Towpack, I am appreciating all this help I am getting. Actually now I remember it I have been to a local industrial paint shop for tractor paint that I didn't have the RAL code for and they matched it well but I was able to take something in with me so they were able to...

    Repairing scratches.

    Thank you @alby79, that sounds too easy. My life doesn't work like that normally ! :astonished: But if you are sure is there any particular touch-up kit you would recommend ?

    Repairing scratches.

    Thank you for your help again @Towpack, much appreciated. Yes, certainly down to the primer, not sure it it's down to bare metal. Must have a closer look. Pardon my ignorance (again !) but can you buy metallic paint of any colour ? I had always assumed that it was put on in a special process or...

    Repairing scratches.

    Thank you for that @adrianr, much appreciated. I am certain that the scratches are down to the primer or undercoat or both because of the difference in colour.

    Repairing scratches.

    Many thanks for that @Towpack. Much appreciated. Just to clarify if I may, flatting the damaged area is sanding it with wet/dry ? I know nothing about what grades I should use. You are correct it is metallic and I hadn't even thought about that. Are metallic paints available ? I do have a...

    Repairing scratches.

    I know this will seem an elementary question but I don't do bodywork. While the good lady was in the supermarket the other day some retard scraped/pushed/propelled one of the large trolleys into the n/s wheel arch on our Landcruiser. It seems a bit OTT to take it to a body shop for a touch-up...

    Air-con question on a LC4 D4D 04/2006 Land Cruiser please ?

    When I was younger I never even thought about not being able to scroffle about underneath things but when I do that now I find it difficult to get our sometimes ! But I've got my memories and I am convinced that I have seen the best days.

    Air-con question on a LC4 D4D 04/2006 Land Cruiser please ?

    You have been very helpful Tractionman, thank you. I don't normally get involved with cars etc, hence my mistake in putting this topic in the wrong section of the Forum. In fact, because of my age I tend to keep away from mechanical stuff these days but when younger I was quite happy taking...

    Air-con question on a LC4 D4D 04/2006 Land Cruiser please ?

    Thank you for all that information, very helpful and useful. I didn't suggest that I have pipes going to the rear of the vehicle (#5) It's just that I searched the Forum before making my OP and read something about pipes going to the rear. I have looked at the rear of the centre console and...

    Air-con question on a LC4 D4D 04/2006 Land Cruiser please ?

    Yes, that makes sense. Thank you. The garage did a leak test apparently which they said showed no leaks and I assumed that to do that they would have got it up ro pressure. Perhaps not.

    Air-con question on a LC4 D4D 04/2006 Land Cruiser please ?

    I've just looked on the V5 and in one place it says : Variant KDJ120(K) and underneath that it says : Version KDJ120R-GKAEYW(GD). Pardon my ignorance but does that mean that She Who Must Be Obeyed rides around in a 120 series Cruiser ? If that is the case I will remenber it in future but you...

    Air-con question on a LC4 D4D 04/2006 Land Cruiser please ?

    Thank you very much for your help. I have seen that and thought it might be some kind of oil cooler. I did say I was totally ignorant about air-con ! :icon-redface: I think I will wait until next spring and take it to the specialists. I didn't know that there were mobile people who did that...
