The cars was sitting outside 4km from the Ocean. The batteries have been disconnected but maybe they got damaged anyway. The person that was watching over the car said at some point the batteries had 6V. He put them on a wall charger for 2 days. I hope new batteries will do it. But I can't...

Thanks for your answers, Current batteries are Banner 80Ah bought a few years back. Alternator was serviced in august 2017. The car has been sitting 10 months in Uruguay, and there was plenty of corrosion on the car. Maybe something got defective or there is some short-circuit somewhere. My...

Hello, I haven't posted in a while. I went to South America and now the car is returning home. However I have a problem with the battery. I need a jump start every time I leave the car stopped for even a few hours. Is there a way I can tell if the batteries are dead ( I have two) or somehow...

Thank you for the guide. I getting conflicting information from all over the place so I don't know what to think anymore. If the IP repair shop says that the IP is defective, could they try to screw me over? I think I will not do the repair and put in back and see what happens and try to ask...

Hi, I'm having issue with my pump with MFR Code 22100-1C400. This seems to be a pump from a different car ( other type/year). I searched for the pump based on my VIN number and found that the pump should have been 22100-1C170. Can someone help me with a VIN number from a RHD vehicle made...

I did search but it doesn't elucidate the mister around my current pump. After further research I think it could be a pump from a RHD variant or a newer car. If somebody could post their pump code from a RHD car maybe I can be certain that this is what happened.

Hi Nathan, Why did you removed your pump? Do you happen to know the part number of the pump? I'm having issues with mine and it seems to be different than the one expected Expected pump: 22100-1C170 Current pump: 22100-1C400 I don't know whats happening. The shop that I took the pump for...

Even if I find a different one it's different than the current one and it might not work. The injection pump service told me that the current pump it's different from the original. It has a pre-injection step and the original doesn't have. Could it be that it has changed while the modding was...

Following the above diagnosis result I took the car to a mechanic. The fuel pump and injectors have been taken off and sent to a shop that specialises in fuel pumps. They are now telling me that indeed the pump is malfunctioning and the repair cost is somewhere near 2000Euro, which seems very...

Last week a check engine light went on. Was off-road and disconnected the battery and it went away. Last night when I wanted to go with it, the engine light again appeared. Went to an auto shop to get a diagnosis and here is the result: Error codes: P1420 and P1670 The AHC error codes don't...

Went to an auto shop to get the diagnosis for now, any opinions ?

Hi, I've been experiencing the check engine light twice now, one time last week and after disconnecting the battery it went away. Now, last night just as started it the check engine light went on again. Can you please help me figure out what tools I need? Thank you!

Hi. Can someone share their copy of the service manual? I'm having a hard time finding it.

Fitted the repainted steps, struggled for two hours to fit them, not the best position underneath and they are pretty heavy. Probably the paint won't hold for much. Repainted steps by Silviu posted May 25, 2017 at 6:17 PM Also I would like to do something about the missing pieces on the roof...

My mistake, I'm used to think in centimeters, so it's a 5cm (2") lift :) Thanks, I will try it out. Also another thing that gives me trouble is the alarm system. I don't know how to shut it down when opening with the second key ( I would rather it wouldn't sound at all ).

I already have a reverse camera, it's very nice to use it. The number is not in my name, I will have a different one. Yes, I know them, the car has been serviced lately at their shop. I went for the technical inspection and the experience wasn't quite to my expectations, but maybe it was a one...

Hi, I recently bought a 2000 100 series Land Cruiser, 4.2 Diesel, 5speed manual, 5inch OME lift. I have a few questions: 1. At what rev should I usually drive (shift gears)? 2. I doesn't have factory navigation/display. Is there a way to see the fuel consumption ? 3. Seat memory buttons either...

I'm going away in Dobrogea this weekend to take it for a spin Still haven't drove it yet :) Seems like a bus to be, it's huge.

Hi everyone, I've bought a car it's a HDJ100, I opened a thread in the garage section for things done to it: https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/silvius-hdj100.147898/ Thank you for your help!

I finally bought one :) I think I need to find a manual because I have no idea what I have and how do I do things on it :) Next I would fit some parking sensors, I'm thinking front and back, suggestions welcome. I won't pack many things on it because I have to ship it to South America and...

I've chosen the one with the manual, but it wasn't the major factor in the decision. The factor was that the auto was totally repainted with U-POL Raptor which seems to be very hard/next to impossible to take down.

Both diesel. The auto is year 2000, so I guess would have the bad converter. Changing the cooler would solve the issue? Or the converter should be changed?

The auto has 4 speed and manual is 5 speed. I've read about the auto possible problems due to heating generated by the torque converter...

Hi, I cannot decide between two cars, one is manual and one is automatic. Is there any reason to choose one over the other? Which is more easy to fix, breaks down less? Thank you!

Hello, Haven't posted in a while but still looking for a vehicle. What are your thoughts on an 100's V8 4.7 petrol ? Is it reliable enough? Someone is selling one for 7000Euro. Has no environment tax I'm sure but it's about to not be required anymore starting tomorrow 1st February. For such a...

I went today and saw this car that Shayne told me about: https://www.autovit.ro/anunt/toyota-land-cruiser-ID7GgccR.html#b296a7e78c Mechanically at first sight look good. The interior is quite used/dirty. I still need to take to a specialist. However, the owner just called and said that if I...

Hi Shayne, thank you for your suggestions. This car I've seen before but at that time I discarded it because it doesn't have the emissions tax payed (it's ~3800€). Given the fact that most cars with the tax payed are over 11000€ I'm considering paying this huge tax anyway. I've talked with the...

This is a site from Spain, right? This particular car it's very expensive, at least from my point of view. Perhaps I should tell you about my budget at this point. The maximum amount I can spend on the car is about 16000€ (all inclusive, including preparation for overlanding). I found an...

Do you mean ship it to you in Romania ? When does your trip commence ? If I will be buying a car from Romania I will ship the car from Hamburg/Antwerp to Montevideo(Uruguay). The plan is not set in stone, but my first destination will be Falkland Islands starting 20th of January 2017. My plan...

Hi Guy, I have to get a LHD otherwise some borders will deny crossing with a RHD. I don't have strong feelings towards the diesel engine, but I fear a bit about how much a 4.2 litre petrol engine can eat. I think the mixed consumption for a diesel engine can run for about 15 L/100 KM and...

For registering a car in BG there are some businesses that do this kind of stuf. From what I heard of you are not actually the owner of the car but rather an Administrator of the car that it's registered by that particular business. There is also the option to get an BG ID an then you can be the...

The problem with buying one in Chile ( the only actually country where you could buy a cars as foreigner) is that you have to sell it only in Chile. They are afraid of people carrying out cars out of the country. And you have the restriction that you cannot be more than 6 months out of the...

I would definitely need a LHD. Most countries in South/Central America don't allow RHD vehicles. About the 120, do they make a good choice for overlanding? Have you seen such a car equipped for expeditions?

As was said before you don't get to see many 80's on the roads, and seeing yours brought me here. I live on Ion Mihalache corner with Turda, not far away from you and I work on Ion Mihalache in the tallest tower building there is here, so I get by each morning in my route to work. At the moment...

Hi Richard, You are right, I seldom see an 80's, the most I see are 120's. I wonder how much would I have to spend on bringing an 80's to good shape for what I want to do. I found one that runs for 10000€ and has 590000km with the 4.2 HD-FT engine I think. Do you think it's worth investing in it...

Hi, I'm Silviu, a romanian based in Bucharest, hoping soon to be an overlander. I got here in my current quest of buying a car for overlanding, planing to do PanAmerica. As I'm looking for the car I keep seeing Land Cruisers all around and by now I got to know most of the models. On my way to...
