Same as mine it will be a bulb. Either T3, T5 or T10 type. I've bought a selection and am planning to pull out the dash to replace all the bulbs with LED ones.

Try 4x4tyres.co.uk I got my rims and tyre set for my Collie from there. Reasonable selection and tyre choice.

Wish I could fit my 90 series cruiser into my garage everything is done out on the drive. That reminds me, I must look for a cheap gazebo...:think:

Nice one, well received :thumbup:

@Shayne that makes a lot of sense. All around Cornwall I hardly ever got into 4th gear (Automatic box), the lanes are up and down and only really using 1st/2nd gear sometimes 3rd so driving 500 miles like that could use a but of oil. On the way home on the motorways uses barely anything :thumbup:

@Raj i use it inside and out. Have always used it on motorbikes as well. It won't hurt the electrics and if the weather's good and not windy I wipe over the whole vehicle surface, mind not to get it on windows and mirrors.

Just back from week in Cornwall. Girl didn't miss a beat going up and down the hills temperature always stayed constant and never struggled. Only thing I noticed was that I'm using a bit of oil, around 250ml for each 1000 miles. Is this normal or relative to the age and mileage of the engine?

@Raj i use GT85 on everything. Similar to WD40 but lasts longer. Leaves a nice sheen and is also a water repellant and smells nicer

I never got to meet Chris in person but he leaves behind him lots of good memories from everything I've seen and read. God Bless.

Very nice :clap:

@MODVRS i can just see it now. I mounted an old ammo box in the space as I don't have the battery winter pack... Doh! :laughing-rolling:

@Bob ... At least I can crawl under without the faf of ramps or jacking up

@MODVRS cheers. Doesn't sound very accessible, will check out tomorrow.

Little bit confused but sure someone on here has the answer. My Collie appears to only have one service port on the AC system. The service book I have says the port is for degas AND regas, protective cap has a H stamped on it and has the larger fitting and I can't find a port on the low pressure...

I've got a Collie I'll try them. What £ you looking for @roy, I'm too far south for local pick up thou?

These steels are zero offset with 265/70/16 tyres as per standard production.

Just under 5 tonnes Probably about right with armour plating etc. wouldn't want to try and bump start that beast! :lol: (Loving the barn doors as well)

Raj, what is wrong that you wouldn't trust your vehicle beyond UK? I'd say before any mods you need to get anything else sorted that you would drive beyond UK. I've got 228k on my Collie, it's been on long journeys and off-road and never missed a beat bar niggly things. Life's a risk so may as...

because we have a choice right? No, we are forced to adopt these changes but that's just evolution I guess. My employer doesn't offer a choice for paying me so I have to have electronic banking. Went to the dentist this morning for a check up and had to get some mini floss brushes...£6.50 but...

The whole financial market is a huge risk not just crypto currency. What happens when the banking system you use fails (which they often do) or becomes hacked. You cannot access any of yours funds or monies, you even can't buy fuel or groceries because the store can't connect to your banking...

@whereisgibson sometimes the threads go a little off piste but the concensus is that garages can be very chalk an cheese. I've only ever used one small garage for my truck however it did take some failures from larger garages and money to get there. Really hope you do resolve your issues and get...

Anyone here done this before or is already booked to go? Coast to coast 4x4 adventure (charity fundraiser) | Facebook - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

If I remember correct back in the 90's when the 'Chelsea tractors' were all around London you could buy spray on 'Mud' to make it look an authentic offroader :lol:

@HGW088 After 2001 the emissions also becomes a factor in road taxation cost. Mine is a 99 FX and its fixed at £250 year. Check out the tax class for any vehicle you're considering. Vehicle tax rates - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

@Geoff 28 makes sense that. Working as spec :thumbup:

I'd say you have an aftermarket alarm system so might have to get the fob from them Car Security Archives - Toad Alarms - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] The key I would guess can be copied by a good locksmith that does car keys.

Had my Upper and Lower BJ done. Although the old ones weren't bad and I've taken the truck off-roading they did have play so feel more confident driving now.

@Jacob100 if you're still there on Saturday morning I'll come over for a brew

Another one of those behavioural characteristics... :lol:

@Shayne that's what I'm thinking as its normal and has driven this way consistently for years not just started. Just reading some of the threads and you get paranoid about everything! :D

My auto box Collie has always driven perfect but has a strange anomaly. 5th gear will not select until the water temperature has risen to 'normal' on the gauge. Knowing the cooling system is shared with the auto box I've had the cooling system flushed and the auto box oil and filter changed as a...

@Jacob100 Are you fishing or just chillin'?

I'm 10 miles West of Huntingdon. Happy to meet up in my little 90 :text-welcomewave:

Seems to be a lot of usual petrol and diesel stations out of fuel round Huntingdon regularly. Its a conspiracy to get combustion off the roads! :think: :lol:

Yeah, I thought the wheel/tyre spec was different but I have standard 0 offset with 265/70/16 and looks and works well. No rubber or binding issues but your @tim falce the FX doesn't always show up and I've also had the Auto box not show up on insurance.

I've looked at them a few times but never bitten the bullet, don't forget import/customs tax. I've got my 90 in in a couple of weeks for upper and lower ball joints. I'll leave it to the garage to source but I do trust them as been using them for over 10years. Tax and customs for goods sent...

Very nice :thumbup:
