Yeah, really not sure what the scene will be like in June.

Whatever you do, keep her away from it or you will be on eBay looking for another one - for yourself! Welcome to T ownership. You have some great friends.

Geolander is a great tyre on road.. and will go most grass and gravel things. Far better than the bfg on the road, definitely a notch worse than the bfg on grass and gravel. Entirely useless in proper British mud. So where are you going :)

My first set of OE batteries lasted 10 years. The replacement from MrT are now 5+ years in and seem to be holding ok. Replacement ( yuasa ) are 650cca each. I believe the original were 700cca. £160 for the pair, 10 min to replace them in the parking lot myself. And the parts counter was happy...

When looking for batteries I learnt that is always worth checking with MrT for prices. May surprise you....

Yeah. The commercial value declared has an impact as well and what the courier declares

I have had a couple of things from Belgium and Germany. Did end up paying vat(customs actually), but overall no more than I would have buying from a local place. Effectively the process is about the same as buying from the USA or Canada.

What is Toyota dealership prices these days?

@SpinDrift thanks. Will poke on the weekend.

Driving along the M11 on Sunday, headlights on... Got a surprise, it looked as if the batter, timing belt, oil and check-engine lights on the dash were going to come on, at the same time. But they had a think about it and gave up (?). Literally a 2 second thing. Started to get there but not...

Even has a dragon! Only the best reviews have dragons...

Haha, yeah. Quite a few 80s had the 1HZ too. And to be fair, it's not too bad. I can do and hold 70 down the M25 or make it over most hills fine. Just takes a bit longer to get there :)

Given the circumstances, no one is really going anywhere at the moment. In a year, maybe. In 3 years for sure. So, I don't understand why the prices... @bandsnbrakes when you say 80 were the best, surely you mean the 105's :)

Some go left, some go right... I'll get my coat ..

165 is not enough rubber to propel a 120 surely... 165 on the left, 265 on the right....

Over the last 150k miles I have discovered: - the grabbers sold in the EU are not the same as the US ones. The US ones are the good ones. - the bfg have crap traction on the tarmac in the slightly wet situation. Full on wet, it's better but not great. - the Michelin latitudes are quite nice on...

Very sorry to hear of Michael's passing. Thoughts are with his family.

105's rock! Welcome to the club.

You can get a rubber tray of sorts, about 2" deep on the sides, fits perfectly into the back of the 120, helps with the mud situation. I have a ramp that the dog uses in the 120 and the 105, no way around that( he's a mastiff, so not exactly the most agile thing to start with )

My favourite part of the deal is the copy paste part from a 1998 document about data exchange :)

Just had a look at your link. That looks nice, fairly clean. Make sure you look under it as well, and take a good look at the service history. If it's been looked after and has had all the work done at the right time it should be a good runner.

Little brother ... Because, It's smaller than the 100. I have an lc5 2005 that's done about 150k, 65k of that in my ownership. Haven't had to do much more than usual maintenance work. Tech wise, there is a fair bit of electrics in both the 100 and 120. The 120 is also marginally better on...

Welcome. Tell us about the FJ40 - are you getting a project going ?

Batteries are sided, you can't turn them around, the o.e leads don't go far enough on the driver side... @Sam what oil are you using? Wondering if that has something to do with this. Also, surprised by the 20k fuel filter replacement recommendation @TONYCY11 - I thought it was much longer here...

Congratulations.

Something something ... Christmas time...

It is the same size as the 105 I am very keen on a pair as well

What about vehicles sold with a bull bar / solid bumpers ? If it's on the invoice, does it still need a winch to justify ?

Never known that specific problem to occur on my LC5 / 05. I guess all the bits and bobs you put on there are OE?

Corner slower?

Love the new bronco..

Sorry to hear about the truck. Hope you find it

Just realised that you are parked between a 120 and a 73(?)... With another few cruisers around. Is this your fleet or an event or a garage ?

Woo! More 105's :) Welcome to the forum, look forward to seeing this evolve.

@Gav missin so cool Just need a 105 now :)

@Mike M yeah, I pay that sort of tax on my 105 with the Hz, and can go most places (still..)

@Sabilco13 looking at your HZ mark, I guess you have driven something with that engine in there right ? it's great, it's just not a HD.

Oh man. Hoping you have a 'Powered by Toyota' sticker ready.

Good looking train that is, welcome.

There is a blockchain joke in here somewhere...

If some one wants to hand over a few billion in doggy money, I would be happy to try work it into the system and report back findings.....

TEMS shocks on the 120 are variable damping, controlled via a ECU. You can set stiffness in the cab ( makes a slight difference) but it also auto adjusts ( again very small but noticeable difference ) based on speed and road conditions.

Unsure. Did you mean TEMS perhaps?

What sort of insane is the 79, a few videos down... 1000HP, and what (? Frozen co2 / dry ice cooled ?)

The oztent chairs are good.

Welcome to the forum. What do you drive at the moment ? Would be nice to hear your Toyota history.

Another vote for the fiesta. The Honda jazz is a very close second, in my opinion as a run around. And the fiat Panda a somewhat further third. Some good deals to be had on the GT 86 if you wanted to stay Toyota :)

When you are not going OE, what do you do with all the TEMS and ECU and all that jazz ? I guess de-bag too?

@Ryan Thomson all the best for the new venture. I have a bit of a wanted-list for the 105, might need to come see you guys one of these days.

Was great to see everyone, if briefly. Hope you all had a good drive around. Missing reports of ripped front ends and smashed windows I can only imagine it was very subdued out there :) @AndycruiserguyLomas most welcome. PS the dog has suddenly developed a serious liking for all things with...
