    Undersealing completed

    Hi Raj, Firstly I'm glad to hear your AHC is all sorted. Steam cleaning is a good idea to make sure anything applied sticks well. The way I look at it is any good 200 series in the UK is worth 25k+ so it is worth preserving. I have pics on my phone so I will try and get them to you.

    Undersealing completed

    It's Dinitrol mainly and something clear on some parts such as the bash plates.

    Undersealing completed

    I just got my LC 200 back yesterday after undersealing and I'm very pleased with the result. Anything loose was scrapped off first and then it went for steam cleaning. All bash plates and inner wings were removed to get at the hard to reach places.

    Is Land Cruiser 200 still worth keeping and repairing

    Apart from the damage shown in the video the car is in very good condition underneath. Mine was about the same except for the shocks which I replaced because they were leaking. Keep the AHC if you want to keep originality. I want my AHC because it makes a difference if it's set correctly for...

    Black 200 bought

    Be aware that transmission fluid is left in the pan and the transmission cooler pipes when it is drained at the sump. Follow Project 200 for the right way to change the transmission fluid. My 200 series weighs 3.1 tonnes and goes 0-60 mph in 8 seconds. That's fast enough for me and it won't be...

    Black 200 bought

    There has been only one 200 series that I looked at in the UK (mine does not) that had KDSS making me believe it was only an option. Unless the car is going to be used off road a lot then it's not much use, but it may improve on road performance if it effectively increases the roll resistance of...

    Clearview mirrors wiring and plugs

    Does anyone know if there are conversion plugs or leads for the new Gen mirrors a 2010 to match the attached plugs? Photos attached are of original male plug and new Clearview male plug. Or is there a wiring diagram for the Clearview mirrors that have powerfold and multi-signal cables so we can...

    Rust treatment and undersealing

    Does anyone have recommendations of companies in the south of England that will do a long lasting treatment. It has been done by a previous owner but obviously wasn't good quality because it just flakes off. Also I want a system that is resistant to jet washing after the car is exposed to...

    I have read on the Australian facebook page that the steering rack can be removed by jacking the engine off its mounts.

    Black 200 bought

    Another 200 came up on Autotrader that looked good so we went to see it straight away and decided to buy there and then because of its great condition. Apart from age related scratches it was very unmolested apart from different coloured wheels which we think are Prado items. Everything thing...

    Black 200 V8

    We got Techstream running tonight and have got the windows opening and closing on the keyfob. The MOT record states an underseal was put on the car at some so it has been protected before. The company in West Sussex steam clean before surface treatment to reduce the amount of moisture applied...

    Black 200 V8

    We found a specialist in West Sussex that cleans off all the chassis, applies jenolite rust kill and adds a 3M product to act as an underseal. It is a lot of money to get it done but this is my last ever car, holds its value and is worth it considering the condition. It is black. We can't find a...

    Black 200 V8

    We picked up our Land Cruiser on Saturday and drove it back home after filling the tank from empty. It came with a Brink towbar so we didn't have to add that. Yesterday we towed our 2 tonne caravan for the first time. Needless to say it was effortless and made an easier job compared to the...

    Black with grey interior 2010 bought.

    After months of looking a black V8 popped up on Autotrader so we decided to drive up to Bedford to look at it and after going over it carefully we decided to buy it. It has done 70k miles and considering its age is in really good condition. We pick it up next Saturday. Good points are that it...

    Upgrades to UK bought 200 series

    Unfortunately I have set my heart on a 200 series V8 because of its legendary reliability, power, resale value, spare parts availability and aftermarket goodies. Last year we drove 2400 miles and back to a northern Croatian island with our 7.89m L, 2.33m W twin axle caravan which was a...

    Upgrades to UK bought 200 series

    Yes, sorry I didn't make it clear we are buying a used one in the UK and not in New Zealand although that would be very nice. We are towing our 2 tonne caravan on the very smooth European roads and hopefully avoiding the crowded potholes of the UK.

    Upgrades to UK bought 200 series

    Now that we know when our Hyundai is coming to the end of its PCP in May of 2021, we are firming up the modifications that we would do to a UK bought Land Cruiser for towing in Europe. (a New Zealand bought new Land Cruiser as previously considered, would be £75000 plus all the importing costs...

    Crawl control on UK spec 200 series.

    Further to a thread that I posted about buying a 200 series Land Cruiser from New Zealand or other countries, I have decided that unless I win the lottery I will buy one in the UK. I have noticed that some advertising in the UK specifies that the vehicles have crawl control. My understanding is...

    Importing a new or used 4.5 litre V8 diesel VX (Limited)/Sahara from New Zealand,Australia,or Japan

    Thanks for reply. It's very helpful. Yes you are right to buy here in terms of saving money but we will have access to a newer vehicle in New Zealand and there are not many 4.5 litre V8 diesels 200 series here to choose from. Just Autotrader.co.nz have a lot to choose from including some close...

    Importing a new or used 4.5 litre V8 diesel VX (Limited)/Sahara from New Zealand,Australia,or Japan

    Hi, On a recent trip to New Zealand, I viewed a brand new VX Limited demonstrator at a Toyota dealer. I was convinced that a similar specification is the model I want to buy to tow my caravan. Is there anyone that has imported the same or similar specification from the above countries and what...

    Hi, I am Ratmos

    Hi Clive, Thanks for the reply. Used Land Cruisers in the UK not only hold their price but in some cases appreciate which is a testament to their reliability and quality. A very good one here is up to £30k. So I am looking at the viability of importing one from Japan, New Zealand or Australia. I...

    Hi, I am Ratmos

    We intend to buy a 200 Series Land Cruiser, in the next two years, for towing our 2 tonne caravan with the 1VD FTV V8 diesel and we intend to spend a lot of time touring in Europe. It will be our last vehicle as we head into retirement and will be used mainly for towing. I am convinced this...
