    Outside front tyre wear

    Evening all, Just got my car back from a service and MoT (passed, yay, not that it shouldn't have), but my front tyres do seem to wear on the outside a lot. I think this is one of those "they all do that, sir" things, since a gent up the road has one and we had a chat a few months ago and his...

    Amateur radio installation

    Evening, I've upgraded my home VHF/UHF radio so have a Kenwood TM-D71E I want to put in the car. Any advice on where to put it and run power? I think I'd like to run the DC from the battery (I'll put Anderson PowerPoles on the end), are there any gaps in the firewall I can use? I don't fancy...

    Main dealer costing advice

    Hi, My 100 is in for the airbag recall. While it's there they've done a "safety inspection". They've identified some issues, but I can't quite get my head around some of the numbers. AC clutch and compressor, slightly under £2000 including 4 hours labour. Exhaust centre section, £600. Front CV...

    2004 MFD failure?

    Hi all, Hope you had a good Christmas, and have a Happy New Year! We spent Christmas away on the North Kent coast. On the way down I noticed the outside temperature gauge wasn't showing anything, and there were no temperatures (inside or out) showing on the LED display. Hmm. If I press the...

    AT K02 275/60R18

    Hello, I've been looking around for a a good while now (including searching these here forums), but can you actually get a BFG AT K02 in a 275/60R18? BFG seem to think my 2004 100 has a 16" wheel, which is obviously not the case, so I'm a bit baffled. Am I going to have to buy some smaller...

    Dead battery or alternator?

    Evening, I just got back from filling up for the week, when I noticed the voltmeter looked a bit low. I pulled over just to check and switched the engine off, tried to start and it wouldn't :( I managed to get it started while I was on the phone to the RAC and planned on taking it for a run - I...

    275/70R18?

    Hello, I'm in need of a new set of tyres, but 275/70R18 seem hard to come by. I spend most of my time on-road so I'm after an all-weather set. What are people using on their 18" wheels? I currently have some Bridgestone Duelers but I don't even seem to be able to find that size on Bridgestone's...

    Leaning over?

    Afternoon, I noticed this morning the driver's side is about 20mm lower than the passenger side, I'm hoping I'm not going to have AHC issues, although that would complete the "everything comes in threes" thing. Is this common? A search seems to imply it is but I'd rather it didn't tilt. The...

    Now it's the windscreen

    It never rains but it pours. On my way home last night a Defender kicked up a stone (must have been a big one) and hit the top right corner of the windscreen, also chipped a bit of paint off the roof. It was a fairly big whack and scared the life out of me. In the sun this morning it's now...

    Electrical problem

    Afternoon, I have an electrical issue that's been annoying me for the past day. I've blown fuse 52 twice in 24 hours, no idea why but I have an inkling the side mirrors may have something to do with it. Nothing has been changed or added. Anyone experienced this before? It's quite annoying...

    2004 voice recognition manual

    Hello, I've discovered my 2004 100 has voice recognition (yes I know, I've had it for three months!) so I was playing about with it on my way home tonight. It doesn't appear to be in the manual though, have I missed it or was it separate? I've searched the forum and the rest of the Internet...

    100 series amateur radio installation

    Hi, I'm starting to think about putting a radio in the car, I imagine I'm not the first so thought I'd ask for any experiences. For such a large car there aren't many hidey-holes for a radio :) I use the centre console for important things like sweets, as well as microfibre towels and hand...

    Hello from England

    Hello, New user with a new car, Friday the 13th wasn't really the best day to buy a car after my recent luck with them, but I'm not superstitious :) I bought my first Toyota today, a 2004 Land Cruiser Amazon 4.2 in green and cream. I've only done two miles in it (my wife had to drive it back...
