Thought I’d start jotting down some notes, and probably scaring myself with spending tally lol. Started with a prett clean 2005 1HD-FTE 100 series, colour says silver, it’s more grey I think… Had 135k miles on it, south coast vehicle, fully standard with no tow-bar ever fitted so a fairly...

One of these that's not rusted to bits. 52309-60010. Happy to arrange courier.

Looking for advice / leads please. Aircon needs attention (again) - HP hose is fubar and it needs a new condenser, current one has a hole where none should be. I can sort those easily enough... The challenge is the compressor. When it engages there's a lovely 'grrrr' sound which leads me to...

Looking for a Toyota 41450-60070 Rear Diff Actuator if anyone has that doesn't need a mortgage to pay for it and is 100% working .... think mine is fubar and I'm battling so thought I'd take the easy route for once

So following Jon's lead I decided to install a T'Eyes CC3 android10 10.2" head unit in the 100. What a palaver. It's still not quite right, but we're ironing out the niggles. Original 2005 dash - dated and no map updates available since 2014. Side vents removed, bit sticky at the bottom so...

Where are folks sourcing tyres from? I’m going mental - websites say they have stock, phone to confirm and to the sound of teeth being sucked I’m told ‘nah sorry mate not got any’…. I’m not looking for hens teeth but it’s starting to feel like I’m after rainbows and unicorns…

Hi all, Contemplating a Portugal trip this year, remote areas mostly with decent camping facilities (I believe wild camping is frowned upon...). Does anyone have a GPX tracking or route they wouldn't mind sharing please? Or thoughts on where to go (and where to avoid!). Duration probably 10...

Soooo.... I decided I'd replace all discs, pads etc on the hundy and get the calipers re-built by BiggRed. Decided to replace all the handbrake gubbins while there and install the Chris Jerman dog bones (RIP Chris). Rears all done, on to the fronts, to be greeted by an unholy mess.... last...

My next little project is to build in an onboard water supply. I bought a Fiamma tank ages ago that is just to physically big to be of much use, and the side walls are really thin and it's already splitting. I've got the 12volt pump (FloKing at 10litres/minute, auto-start on demand) so that's...

I searched and found zilch, so quick q for the brains trust... :) On the 80 series rear tailgate window are 2 electrical connectors on the demister. Question : are those both positive feeds or is one positive and one negative? If the latter, which is which?? I have no demister function so...

Surplus to requirements. Was once in my LC5 - some wear apparent, all fixings included. Powder-coated grey to match interior plastic trim. The bolt to the floor tie-downs closest to the rear seat backs and to the 3rd row grab handles. I doubt you could use the 3rd row seats with the guard...

Folks appears I have been hacked and probably Trevor too. Please do NOT OPEN any email from my gmail account or from Trev's virgin media account till further notice..

Help please - I'm looking for a wire brush to attach to either a drill or angle grinder that looks either like a bottle brush or a Christmas tree so I can get into some tight spaces on the chassis rails, bumper etc. All I can find are cups or wheels. Anyone got any good leads please? Should...

Bad timing on the day but happy birthday boet - hope you have a lekka one!

On the quiet and not tell any of us?? Congrats!!

Some of you will be familiar with 'Getaway' magazine - a great South African mag. Found this article in my Facebook feed and had to share it - a good chuckle... Some terms are truly Saffa (Brits are unlikely to know what Aromat is for example) but it translates well. Enjoy...

Hi all Anyone able to tell me the normal temp. range on the 24v motor?? Driving down through France it was 37 degrees outside and the temp gauge was steady on 85 which is normal. But then I hit a long grinding hill and got stuck behind loads of traffic nearvLyon and the EGT went up to 670...

I'll will be fitting OME851 springs up front over Easter along with my EFS shocks and steering damper (I was given all the springs when I bought the truck, lucky me!!). *The springs are labelled A and B. The B one seems to be slightly taller than than the A spring which goes against the info I...

Won't see me doing this - not even in a Land Cruiser .... GzhlDnTv0pc CP: Fixed it.

Pretty impressive stuff ... There have been little clips about this place for the past few years, it is still not finished but is growing to that conclusion as they will soon run out of space. A short review, it was started by two brothers as a place to show their hobby, it started growing by...

3rd world space programme?: http://youtu.be/pD_yQZ4iNjY Not sure I'd like to actually pilot that ;)

From a long way back. It's a bit long but worth watching if you've an interest in old clockwork engineering http://www.chonday.com/Videos/the-writer-automaton

I know we've been over the various waxoyl / dinitrol treatments lots of times already but this is slightly different. I want to re-paint some parts on my 'new' 80 with a direct to metal / rust type coating (paint essentially). Jon has done a fantastic job so far but the 80 now lives in Scotland...

Grey leather to suit 1997 VX please - anyone know of any please let me know. Cheers

Heads up - I have sold my 120. Insurance was renewed with Adrian Flux 3 weeks ago. On cancelling today they want 50% of the premium to cancel. So it has cost me £175 for 3 week's insurance. They 'waived' the £25 admin fee as 'a gesture of good will' and hope I will come back soon. No letter...

My 120 is for sale. Offered here first before it goes elsewhere - and you'll get more goodies with it here :-) When it goes up on other sites i'l be removing stuff to sell independently. NOTE: the LightForce spot ties, AirTop roof tent and FoxWing are NOT for sale - they'll be going on...

Apologies if you've seen this already ... How the hell do you manage to lose a tank from a vehicle when it should only be doing a crawl speed ? This is by the Wig Wam Motel on Van Reenens pass - quite notorious in SA - on a flat section of road. Thank goodness it wasn’t going down a steep...

Larry's Rules apply :icon-biggrin: For sale, my Howling Moon Tourer roof tent. In very good nick - the cover has a few scuff marks and the mattress cover got caught in the hinge and has a slight rip - replacement cover can be ordered for £40 apparently :icon-cool: Details are available at the...

Latest addition to the family! Very chuffed - Ridgeback Royalty. Mum is 2-times Crufts Best in Breed and dad is this years Crufts Best in Breed. Khubu and Chobe will, one day, produce some fine hounds!

We get our new pup on Saturday... (Ridgeback royalty). My drive is on an off-camber slope so when the gates shut there's a gap at the bottom that I use some fairly strong rubber matting (attached to the bottom of the gates) to close off. Else pup could sneak out :( Current mat strip is...
