The link was updated - LC100 Workshop Manual - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

With enough bad luck the front diff can grenade on an icy driveway... But isn't $20k on the higher end for the US?

The ABS system does not kick in by itself. As uHu said, either bleed, then brake hard a few times to activate ABS, then bleed again, or use Techstream and when you open the ABS/TRC tab under Utilities there is a bleed function that can manually activate the ABS solenoids while stationary to aid...

Why PMs when it can be available for everybody - https://lc100e.github.io/manual/

No need to short terminals and decode blinks. The usual ODBII readers can read a limited amount of information, including engine DTC codes, even though the diesel cruisers are MOBD and not ODBII. $20 Techstream cables can read everything.

Wow, that is hideous!

Very hard to say like that. What error codes do you get? Have to start with that. Sounds like injector pump issues. When it goes bad it starts giving trouble when warm, loses power. How many km on the car? But really, start with error codes.

You can follow the development of the legislation here - https://researchbriefings.files.parliament.uk/documents/SN01216/SN01216.pdf Curiously it's a UK initiative that led to EU legislation. Nowhere it says anything about winches and neither do the EU regulations, so I assume it's some other...

They all do that. The infamous driveline clunk. There are a whole lot of things that contribute a bit to it. Driveshafts slip joints and u-joints not being greased - this is usually the first suggestion. Greasing them definitely helps, but at 500k, you have wear in other places too. Over time...

The 200 has the largest stock wheel articulation from all Land Cruisers so far. It also can be fitted with a long travel arms from Tundra which are bolton (: The 105 and 80 chassis are almost identical. The body mounts are different. 100 & 105 can be swapped on the same frame. Usually it's a...

100 frame And 105 frame The 100 frame is wider so that it can fit the 4.7l petrol V8. It was also designed with independent suspension in mind, so it's far from a simple swap. For example, the shock towers are too weak to handle coils or coilovers, as it uses torsion bars. If you search for...

I don't think it ever came with factory parking sensors in any of the markets it was sold, so I assume it's an aftermarket system that needs tweaking.

It works with the VNT. The stock turbo can't handle much more boost than standard though (10-13 psi). I had mine upgraded by Remy at Wink 4x4 - Engineered Performance - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] with a better compressor wheel, upgraded shaft and thrust bearings. Should be good for 1.5 bar...

I have been using Ravennol full synthetic 0w40 for the past 20 000 - RAVENOL SSL SAE 0W-40 - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] It's similar price to the 5w40 and I occasionally start and drive the car at -15 to -25C in the mountains, so why not. Occasionally there are free shipping deals from Germany...

You won't be able to get the "desired" version with the rotary controls, because it is pre-facelift and there are signalling differences. What you can get is the button controls: Replacing all the bits and pieces from a touchscreen to buttons with a conventional 2 DIN slot is about $1500 in...

London, I will handle it from there.

I am interested in the springs. How much are you after? Mine are tired and weight is piling up.

Hard to say about costs. Depends on what do you want to do, who is doing it and how far the rabbit hole are you willing to go. I am doing most of the work myself so I am not paying labor. I also have access to a workshop, so I do not have to buy much of the tools needed. What I am paying for is...

Apart from the 5x150 bolt pattern, it is a +60 offset and running anything less than +20 offset is really not recommended. You are more or less stuck to resold OEM Toyota wheels. Wheels from 200 work, but before the facelift - after the facelift the centre hole is changed and incompatible. 105...

I am doing this at the moment. uHu has linked my thread on IH8MUD. Body off starts here HDJ100 - Body off renovation, now with a hot dip galvanised frame *Picture Heavy* - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] I opted to have my mechanic do the separation, as I do not have a hoist and it helps...

Honestly, I do not know. To me it sounds like the common VNT issue. Have it looked at in any case. Turbo related engine lights are no fun.

It being DPF and not a catalyst.

What is the "same" you are suffering from? Codes when pushing the turbo uphill? People I thought with while looking for a place to work on my turbo told me that the generic "Turbo system malfunction" code (forgot the exact number) usually happen on higher mileage cars when the vanes of the VNT...

Huh, uHu, where do you get that from? Not that I doubt it and it makes some sense, just wondering. When blocked it kills the turbo as well. Don't ask me how do i know...

Yes

I cheaped out and got a Chinese eBay snorkel for £60. Have had it for about year and a half and I am very happy with it. Plastic is durable and UV stable. I offroad a lot and it has a few gouges, but it's pretty thick and hard. No issues with fit.

I wouldn't get Febest bushings. They are way less durable than OEM. The 80 bushings fit in the trailing arms, but they are for a bigger bolt, so you have to get new bolts and make a larger opening on the chassis mount. Recently someone on ih8mud found part numbers for bushings for a 100, which...

I have been unable to find the headlights (Components, Removal, Installation, etc) anywhere in the FSM! That has been puzzling me for a long time. The complete FSM for all years, including full wiring diagrams can be found here - https://lc100e.github.io/manual/ Wiring for the headlights and...

So some numbers - refurbish + high flowing is €650, if core is good (which mine isn't), which sounds decent to me. I think I will go for it!

Great feedback, thanks! I am in contact with Remy from Wink 4x4 - Engineered Performance - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] He can refurbish the turbo and also high flow it! I will also probably go for 3" exhaust as well. If I decide not to pursuit this I will try Turbo Technics

Huh, if they can rebuild the VNT that could be a good option. Will contact them. Thanks.

That's pretty rare in Europe and very cool. There are reinforcements in the pillar for the tire carrier, so if anybody is considering this - you would need more than just the tailgate.

My turbo has failed. Currently it's out of the truck and there is too much axial play. Housing isn't damaged yet, just very slight discolouration. Vanes are probably worn too (430 000km). I got generic turbo codes 2 or 3 times in the past year, mostly when pushing uphill (not towing). I can't...

Hey, it would be great if any info is also availbale here for the sake of future visitors. Did you use a Unichip? Who tuned it in Italy? A few words on what you had to do would be greatly appreciated. You mentioned you put a bigger turbo? I wonder what the safe limit on the stock VNT turbo is...

This really confused me in the first few months of ownership - sometimes they were dropping, sometimes not. Took me a while to figure out that the adjuster has to be in the left or right and not centre position. It's good that it can be turned off, sometimes it can be really annoying when reversing.

The headlights are the biggest giveaway for me - the old has the high/low beams in the same reflector, the facelift has them in separate reflectors in the same housing.

The internal trim covers the rivet heads and somewhat helps with wind. The outer (and stupid expensive) trim 75533 is much more important.

Without further information, my bet is that the torsion bars have never been adjusted and your neutral pressures are super high. Might be low on fluid too, although unless there is corrosion and a leak, it is not a consumable.

The 1HD-FTE uses a Denso рump. Totally different from the Bosch VP44

Nice. If they have made it play nice with the EU ECU that would be my top choice!

As far as I know nobody has ever been able to tinker with the 100 series ECU. That's why external controllers are used, instead of adjusting the maps inside the ECU. I have found only two controllers available in Europe that support the 1HD-FTE - Tunit (Tunit Petrol & Diesel Performance Tuning -...

I had to make do with the striped garage door, masking tape and careful measurements (: The cut off and brightness are amazing and I highly recommend that, over any sorts of upgraded bulbs in the stock reflectors.

Don't put bulbs with different shapes and sizes than the stock ones in the original reflectors! The glare will be unavoidable. There are two ways to improve things. Upgrade the bulbs from the halogen 9005/9006 to HIR 9011/9012. Same physical shape and size, increased light output and life...
