Had a similar issue on the 120. Got a replacement from Opioil at the time which was the cheapest I could find. No idea why they sold Aircon compressors

Interesting, talk about gloves off and pistols at dawn. I can't be arsed to mediate between the two of you. You have both been around on this forum for a number of years and you have a spat over gas bottle fittings... I will pick up a point made by Shane though, and that's regarding the forum...

Greta is that you?

Thanks, only been in a short drive in one, and we could not drive this one as it had just come in so have not been inspected. Did a bit of searching and cat theft not a big issue on these as it seems you can't easily get to them from underneath. One of the first jobs will be to get the...

Well decision made and deposit put down on a 2.5 year old Lexus NX 300h..... So still in the Toyota family, but certainly not a Land Cruiser. Has all the toys and balance of the 10year Lexus warranty, let's see if this lasts as long as the 120 did...

Yes there is a prime button on top of the fuel filter right-hand side back of the engine bay behind the fuse box. Push that till it gets hard

I remind you all of the rules.... https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/larrys-rules-apply-to-classifieds.133163/ Thread cleaned up

It's not a lot of work to remove the cam cover, however you will need to remove the injector pipes, so will need a crowfoots socket. In theory these are use once pipes, but I removed and refitted mine at least 3 times

The most tested I used up untill recently for my car's and bike including the LC was fine and would only fail the vehicle for genuine issues, however last year I took the Audi for a mot, and the passed certificate. Few months later I was online and checking something and found he had actually...

Take a read of this thread, old but still very valid Thread 'So, what does a decent 80 look like? Part 1.' So, what does a decent 80 look like? Part 1. - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

The bearings go on the Aircon clutch. I changed mine a few years ago, my replacement was from Opi Oils which at the time was the best price. Easy ish to do, fortunately my gas had leaked out already so I didn't need to get it vaccumed

Watching with interest...

Spot on Grimbo.

And of course there is brand snobbery from the Mrs..... I agree the 7 year warranty from the Korean lots is good, and certainly their reputation from a reliability perspective is great too. Not really a fan of leasing as I feel it's just sunk money. I should prob work out what leasing my 120...

To be fair we weren't unhappy with the 120. Perfect for our needs, but the rust was the killer. I just could not be arsed to crawl under it and try to clean that up. Prob would have cost £1-2k to get it done, but I know that these rust from the inside out on the chassis, so not convinced on the...

It really is a bad trend and direction. That and the subscription model that the manufactures are pushing. We are no nearer deciding what we want. I may look at 2nd hand 150's, but I am put of by Toyota and their approach to rust.... Lexus RX may be a option, but Mrs not overly in love with...

Spotted one of those over the weekend. To be fair they look ok, but I'm just not sure about the build quality or reliability. Having said that, can't be worse than the last British made MGs.....

Welcome, interesting to see the outcome of this build

Thanks SC, I knew you had a Toureg, didn't know you also had a Q5. Mrs didn't like the Q5 as much as the GLC, also it's kinda small inside, odd as it is a big car. I doubt whatever we get will last 17years like the 120 did. Tell you what the Mercedes dealer I contacted is relentless, but I...

hello, i have the same problem with error P1420 and P1670. How did you fix the problem then? what was the problem? thanks Michal

Great sleuthing skills in getting that resolved, well done

I live on the outskirts of London, and often drive into the outer parts of it, so ULEZ is a thing and one of the reasons for changing the 120 as it wasn't compliant. If it wasn't that the Mrs wants a higher car, prob would have got a small ev like a Zoe as that really meets all the...

Been looking at the new RAV4's. Damn those things have got big. May go look at one in the flesh. But again, 30k + car....

Honest truth we don't need a 4x4, and certainly not a capable one. We don't tow, don't have a muddy track etc. The 120 only ever went off-road a handful of times and that was to play at Salisbury Plain or at Tony's farm. Last few years, was only really used to take stuff to the dump or or...

Just looked at these and these are the Ute style vehicle, so not for us. Ssangyong do a Rexton which for 30k gets you something slightly newer and lower mileage than the Merc, Audi and Jag brands. Not enough difference for me to go for this brand. Having said that it's prob more reliable...

I've always liked the FJ Cruisers. Mrs not so much.

It really is a tough one. I'm not so bothered by the new cars and all the electronics, just gobsmacked at the cost of new cars. Crazy money. £30k gets a 3 year old mid sized SUV thing, which lets be honest all look the same. Worst thing is when you look at any reliability reviews all the big...

That does look good

@Shayne didn't you nearly wipe yourself out on a motorbike? I think your Mrs will have a dim view of that

It was a impulse sale and I may live to regret it, but the options are interesting. Jaguar F Pace looks interesting as does the Merc GLC. Will need to go and actually look at these, but sadly these are all Chelsea tractors compared to the 120. (And yes I know compared to the 80's the 120 is a...

Mrs wants a higher car, so some sort of cross over pretend a SUV vehicle. Personal choose would be something like the Porsche Macan, Audi Sq5 or the VW Touareg, but all are way over budget. Tesla was a company car, changed jobs 4 months ago so I had to give it back. Perhaps a EV or hybrid...

Well it had to happen sooner or later. 120 has been sold. Received a fair offer for it so off it went. Had it from new, 2005 /55 plate with 141k miles on the clock. It wasn't fault free, but never let me down, but starting to rust in the usual places and had a drone from somewhere, I suspect...

Indeed, those with dual citizenship with a EU country are smiling right now. I assume the UK have similar visa requirements for EU citizens coming to the UK?

All the best for 2023 everyone.

With Brixit it is only a matter of time untill UK citizens will need visa's to enter. Ok, these will be most likely issued on arrival, but it's certainly coming

Take a look at this thread, some discussion there https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/halogen-headlight-bulbs.153012/#post-1521586 I replaced mine with Phillips LED, which are not the cheapest, but couldn't be happier with them. Only thing I had to do was adjust them down one...

Merry Christmas one and all.

Thanks both, from a quick skim read, the pollution report shows interesting progress, although I imagine that need closer scrutiny by cleverer people than myself

So London has had congestion charging and ULEZ for a while, has anyone seen any stats as to a sustained reduction in either or both? The cynic in me sees these as just a money making opportunity, but happy to be swayed by data

Nah, alternator. I recall taking it out and fighting with the proxy bolts at the back... Shit job, but better than when I had to take the turbo out

I can't recall, but had a issue and it needed to come out. I think I just refurbed the brushes, or maybe just cleaned then out. The 120 got a bit of a soaking at Salisbury plain quite a few years ago, so I think that started the issues
