Long time since I've been on here, my 100 series has just worked faultlessly apart from my last big expense with the suspension pipe bursting on the O/S rear. 264K miles and going strong. However.... I'm after some suggestions. My ABS light comes on but only if I turn hard left, doesn't come on...

Does anyone know what it is like to get the evaporator / valve out of a 100 series. It looks pretty full on under the glove box but not sure if you can actually get the thing out without removing everything, can you just remove the ECU and a couple of other things and then undo the nuts and...

My 100 has got a few rust problems which I had a quote for and the shop wanted to replace both front wings which I think is excessive so I'm going to do it myself. What arethe front wings like to get off, they seem relatively simple - remove the wheelarch liner, bolts along the top, one at the...

Well my 100 series now has the dreaded torque converter problem although only when the transmission fluid is cold. When you slow down for a junction or roundabout it's like driving a manual and forgetting to dip the clutch, feels like it is going to stall. My question is, do you think it's...

Hooray. :clap: :clap: :clap: At last one of these review things actually recognised that the Land Cruiser beats them all. 100 series from 2002 - 2007 beats the lot and the Disco 3 into second place. First time I think I have ever agreed with one of these reviews (although personally any 100...

Well the cold snap killed my batteries (or rather made a thing I knew was on the way out worse). Looked around and the cheapest I could find was from The Battery Guys http://www.thebatteryguys.co.uk/. Korean made Solite batteries. Turned up next business day and look to be pretty good. Certainly...

Well my 100 passed the MOT at the end of last week, with only a couple of advisories - front lower ball joints - guess I'm going to have to find out how difficult these are now and a slightly leaking rear offside damper. The guy didn't reckon any of these needed doing now - the leaking damper...

Well I finally got my HHO kit fitted and working - had a bit of a problem with a leak on one of the pipe outlets from the Gas generator which took a while to fix however now it is all plumbed in and working and generating Hydrogen. First impressions. Well for the first 100 or so miles there was...

Well after putting it off for a while (don't know why now) I finally got around to cleaning out all the old AHC fluid and replacing with lovely new pink stuff. When it finally came down to it it was a really easy job, only special tools 2ft of 5mm poly pipe and a 10mm ring spanner. Used two cans...

Anyone help with this - had a look with Julian V and we came up with terminal L on the Alternator, however this is a PITA to get at on the 1HD-FTE. Does anyone know of a pickup point for a circuit that only comes live when the engine is running - either on an accessible connector block or at the...

On the 80 series there is an accessory power point under the bonnet - battery 10amp, battery 20 amp, ignition switched and earth. Is there something like this on the 100 as I'm buggered if I can find it. There is a relay pack off the +ve battery terminal on the drivers side which I initially...

Just won myself one of these http://www.pioneer.eu/eur/products/archive/AVIC-HD1BT/index.html on ebay, looking forward to fitting it. This means I will have one of these http://indash.meos.co.uk/product/index/en/MC702B for sale. Only a month old including the NAVME120 satnav module which is...

Just a quick recommendation for Roodogs4WD - a seller on ebay. Have had a few parts from them in the parts for my 80 and now just bought some Black Duck seat covers from them. They are in Australia but shipping was very reasonable and very quick and the guys there really know their stuff. Had...

Does anyone know where the reversing light switch is - is it on the box or on the shift lever. Need to get a feed from it to trip my reversing camera and trying to make up my mind whether to run a cable from the back along with the video cable and connect to the reversing lamps or take it from...

Anyone know where the Handbrake light switch is. I guess it is somewhere next to the handbrake :D but don't want to pull out the whole centre console and find there is an easier way to get at it. Got a new stereo / satnav / Digital TV / video system with a reversing camera input and a spare...

A bit of a strange one. Has anyone got any idea what is up behind the dash that could be dripping a light clear oil down the back of the glovebox and dripping onto the floor. Looks a bit like baby oil but there isn't any of that up there. I've had the glovebox door off and a couple of the panels...

I've just had the tyres rotated and balanced on my 100 as the fronts were out of balance anyway and hopefully this way they will all wear out at the same time so I can change out for what I really want which is Cooper AT or ST. Currently I have 275/70x16 BFG ATs on unfortunately Cooper don't...

Does anyone know where the flasher unit is located before I have to go and hunt for it. Passenger side flashers don't work (sometimes sort of intermittently but only dim). It's already blown a fuse once today. Hazards nor LHS indicators don't work.
