Hi Ryan, that's great news, what would it be a price for a pair? Many thanks Luis

Thanks, I did wonder without how would work. Let's see how we get on.

Seems like the pipe goes here (pic below), trying to locate where it's located at, as most of it was in place. Any quick tip where this is located? TIA

Thanks, somehow can't find where the connection goes (red circle on the pic). Still a bit of a struggle, so far and so close, will go a miracle if it works for me as anything I want to get done somehow never goes as planned, I have found out on another post here, can disable the auto to manual...

Hi all, Looking for some desperate help, hate asking the obvious questions, brother is retro fitting the a/c to the 1995, diesel, 80 from a donor car same year. He's used the diagram for help, so far all went okish in the engine compartment, but inside he came stuck on this pipe, can, anyone...

That's good to know can be embroidered, I think I will try the dash mat for me and mate first, not the hottest country here, just like the storage. What customs did you pay on them, if you remenber, is the 20%. Not had much luck ordering from about, my wit's end order done in March been stuck...

Quick question, did you order the seat covers directly from escape gear website in SA? How do you rate them? Many thanks

I had the same on my 80 last year, mine was completely burnt inside, I could hear the relay click by the drivers footwell. Cleaned all connections and so on. Ended up replacing it. Karl sorted me with one used. Like mention couple hours, just lowering the gearbox get some longer bolts, seen...

Not a problem, thank you very much

Thank you, that would be great if you don't mind.

Ouch

Let me know what kind of price and guarantee they can offer

That's a good shout, mine is the 24v!

Thank you Peter, I will get in touch, second option for me would be to fit the ac from a donor 80, apparently all the cabling is in place already. Thanks again. Luis

Sorry to add to this old post. For me I agree open the windows and enjoy the views. Never had a car with ac all the years I lived in Portugal and even when in marroco never missed it. But with young family and 2 trips to Portugal, its reallymmore to be able to have the windows closed and the a...

I'm not very good at taking pictures. Arived today at 6am after 37 hours of travelling across 2 days. Total travelling was from Albufeira to the Wirral via the eurotunnel. 80 behaved spot-on. Still to do the average mpg not expecting amazing results as we pushed a bit at times.

After looking in detail it's all down to the factory alarm removal and a wire that goes to the ignition. On route to the UK, left yesterday. All going well.

After 2 hours of looking through, found the dreaded wire, or my brother did as I'm not as that minded to proper troubleshooting Oh I want a 12v starter motor so much.

Thanks well give a go. Looks departure for tomorrow is looking a bit dodgy.

Haver the alarm also fitted the cruiser is now completely dead to the turn of the key! We did remove the old toyota alarm, it was disconnect (fuse removed) used the power for the new alarm for power and for the central locking. Any clues how to start diagnostic! Still on 24v start, 24v Relay...

Thanks guys for your comments, yes connected it up before bolting it in, and switched the CDL button to lock and unlocked position, we did assemble it in the unlocked position. And all 3 lockers now work, thank god for that. Rear diff with new bearings, seals, alarm with central locking fitted...

Thanks for all your replies, the motor inside was completely melted. Got a replacement from Karl straight to Portugal. Question if someone can clarify this, when assembling the centre Difflock, any particular way of putting back in? Seen a post stating to have it locked!! But doesn't make sense...

So, after a long drive to Portugal, the 80 done well. But was due a couple fixes by my mechanic (aka brother). Haven't had center Difflock for quite some time, that meant no other lockers also! On the hope he could fix it, upon taking it, its completely burnt the motor. No hope! How difficult is...

Sorry not able to send a PM must not have enough posts or something like that . Would you have the rear bearings also (koyo or NTN)? Do send me a pm if you don't mind, many thanks.

Thanks for the replies. Good shout about the diff breathers! Pm sent to Chapel House

Hi all, Recently noticed a small leak from the rear diff from by the disc, all indicates its the inner/outer seal. From the seals only, this now turns out might as well look at the bearings and on both sides. One question is, would I get away without replacing the handbrake shoes?? Likely...

Owned the truck for just under 3 years. No the rear bumper was off my mates 80, before he sold it we swapped and also the tyres with less than 3k on. Perfect size in my opinion for 80, 285 75. Been looking for led ones for rear for ages on and off, before I got it shot basted and power coat I...

Here is the 80. BTW. The rear bumper is a tjm as you can see doesn't have the lights in, but I was trying to get new ones without breaking the bank. Would anyone know? Many thanks in advance.

Here is my patrol 260. It's a 2.8d n/a, 5 years ago my brother added a tgv turbo. I've own this for over 20 years, was my first 4x4, done my adventures up and down Portugal, and in 2001 went to Marroco for 11 days with new year, was nicked named as the "desert fridge". 80 pictures to follow.

Hi Tim, Yes finally joined. See you soon.

Yes we would camp, possibly Friday till Sunday.

Thanks again. Looking at forum I have seen and heard good things about lincomb, looking to put my name down, Mrs and 2 kids would come along, sounds like a good family gathering. And a good opportunity to meet some good people.

Thanks guys. I will post some pictures shortly
