Now SOLD - thanks to the buyer and this forum. :clap: The time has come and my 90 needs to find a new home, I’ve owned it since 2004; High Level Summary 1997 December registered, “R” reg UK model Toyota Landcruiser Colorado VX, 5 door (VZJ95 model designation) Green (body) over Grey (wheel...

Saw this on Costco's promo email this morning. No idea whether it's a good deal or not but thought I'd post here in case someone was interested. TentBox Classic - Black Edition | Costco UK - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

Was browsing Landcruisers on eBay, as you do, and came across this 2004 LC4 120 series, which looked fairly decent inside and out. Checked the MoT history and it seems like the usual corrosion issues underneath - I suppose it is 18 years old now. What do you think - worth a closer look...

The handbrake warning light came on when I started the Collie this morning. I was a bit puzzled as the handbrake wasn't on and just assumed it was an electrical gremlin due the weather and something and that it would sort itself out when warmed up. So went to pull out of the drive and noticed...

....well we know now; Obviously 007 chose the best of the best! :cool: :icon-wink:

Just a heads up for anyone interested, I saw that Aldi were selling 20l metal jerry cans for £17.99 They were available in Green and Black, complete with funnels etc. Might be worth a punt at that price. :thumbup:

Some amazing pictures of the Soviet Ekranoplan - certainly something from a bygone era. :shock: Inside The Soviet Ekranoplan

This came up on my feed today... What can I say....err..."unreal"?

Saw this in one of my feeds today ....... New bus trip will take you from Delhi to London in 70 days - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] H'mm, not sure what to make of it TBH.

As thread title suggests, my battery has been behaving very strangely over the past week or so....... the battery is a E44 Varta "Silver Dynamic " 77Ah, bought and fitted in June 2018 from Tanya Batteries and has never given any issues previously. The 90 hasn't been used as much as before due...

This popped up on my YT feed this morning - as usual TLC4X4 don't do things by half or cut corners....... I suppose his prices (and client's budgets) reflect that. However you look at it, it's a fantastic restoration resulting in a lovely machine.

This looks nearly new - even though it's a 1999, it's only done 28k miles. Interior looks immaculate. Difficult to value IMHO, as it's probably a one-off find..... so might be worth (near) the asking price...

Currently on holiday in Andalusia (about 25k South of Granada) in the foothills of the Sierra Nevada - my first visit to this beautiful part of the world. Unfortunately not in my truck though (but a poxy rental Fiat!) I know we have a few members from or based in Spain. Anyone in this part...

I've noticed an oil stain on the back of the rear diff - it spreads around most of the rear side (above and around the filler) and covers the bottom of the diff - hopefully pics will show what I mean...and it might just be leaking from the filler.:think: I've tried to check the oil level but am...

Though it's specifically about the Americas, saw this in today's news; https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-us-canada-48405631

I had my track rod ends done a while ago and since then have been meaning to get the wheel alignment done on the truck as the steering was pointing at 11 o'clock at the straight-ahead. One thing or another got in the way - you know what I mean - and this kept getting put back to the end of the...

As the title suggests, I'm getting a little tired of the Ironman 50mm SL kit. I had it fitted back in 2010 or so at around 130k and the truck has only done 50k tarmac miles since - I'm sure there's plenty of life left in the components but I'm getting fed up with the harsh ride combined with the...

WTF were they thinking?

....as progress may not always for the better. https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/business-47023003 "ADAC tested 237 keyless cars and found that all but three were susceptible, including the latest models of the Discovery and Range Rover, and the 2018 Jaguar i-Pace - all made by Jaguar Land Rover."

Hi all, hope you're all having a good New Year. :thumbup: For my truck it was good news - it passed the MoT with only a few advisories regarding some minor rust on the sills, which has been there for a few years now and I may look into welding up this Summer. However my main issue (and one...

https://www.bfgoodrich.co.uk/gb/ranges/4x4-Range/BFGoodrich-Mud-Terrain-T-A-sup-KM3-sup?utm_source=Havas&utm_medium=Quantcast&utm_campaign=BFGoodrich# Eagerly anticipated....or not, they're here now. (Though they don't look that much different to the KM2s to me - but what do I know?)

Saw a nice Brown/Grey 60 series around 10am this morning near Willesden Junction station. The reg was G202 OBA or similar Just wondering whether that is someone on here?

If you have an accessory that is wired to connect directly to the battery terminals, what would happen if it was only connected to one terminal? (apart from the accessory not working of course - so say, only connected to the positive terminal and disconnected from the negative terminal). Would...

This one looks very nice and certainly in the "keeper" category but still, £13k is a lot of anyone's money...

Right, set the date in your calendars........ http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-politics-39629603 Don't blame May given the circumstances - should mean that the Tories are in with a (larger) majority for the next 5 years at least. Ho hum.......shame the opposition (of any colour) are so powerless...

Just in case you haven't heard about the new (extended) speeding fines coming into effect on 24th April onwards... http://www.evo.co.uk/news/18773/speeding-fines-to-rise-in-april-2017-what-it-could-mean-for-you https://www.sentencingcouncil.org.uk/offences/item/speeding-revised-2017/ Worst...

I've seen a few members mention/show their canoes and was wondering whether any of you might have misplaced one recently? http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-derbyshire-38788529 Apparently in Derbyshire - that's not yours, is it Chris? ;)

I thought that I would post this here, rather than in the tech section as it non-LC related, though still Toyota related!! :thumbup: Our Yaris (2001 mk1 1.3 petrol) spends its life doing short journeys and runs its battery down every now and again. We have had the car for over 12 years and I...

<< I'm posting this here as I have "insufficient privileges " to post it directly in the Freedom 4x4 section; >> Just wanted to say a huge thank you to Trevor and Ed at Freedom 4x4 for their recent work on my truck - this included refurbishing all 4 brake calipers with new seals and pistons and...

...to run flat tyres? I have recently acquired a 3 series BMW (2007 E92) which originally came with run-flat tyres. The previous owner has changed them to non run flat tyres a few years ago which seem to ride and handle very well. I'm happy with them and compared against a run-flat shod car...

WTF!!!! :icon-eek::icon-eek: WTF!!!!:icon-eek::icon-eek::icon-eek: WTF!!!! :icon-eek::icon-eek::icon-eek::icon-eek: hPj-SPD_NIg P.S> No real bulls involved.

I've been following Ryan's thread on similar symptoms with his 80 and thought I would post this here, rather than hijack his thread; I've been experiencing a gentle steering wobble under braking for a few hundred miles/weeks now - as I say it is relatively gentle, sometimes no more than a...

http://www.theguardian.com/business/2016/jan/29/last-land-rover-defender-rolls-off-production-line The last Land Rover Defender rolls off the production line today. Whilst many of us might be tempted to say "good riddance....", it is worth acknowledging the Land Rover's place in 4x4 history. I...

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/southamerica/brazil/12114672/Astonishing-moment-man-is-flung-into-the-air-through-van-window-in-crash.html Is this a 70 series pickup? In any case, he's one lucky bugger! Apparently the judges awarded him 5.9, 5.9, 6.0 and 6.0

It's MOT time again for the cruiser and I'm aware that my towbar electrics might come under scrutiny this year. To give you some background - the towbar was fitted purely as protection for my underslung LPG tank, which has been fitted in place of the OEM fuel tank - I don't really intend to...

I don't think it is the original......is it? :think: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-LANDCRUISER-COLORADO-DIESEL-3-0-/161929977029?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

Just saw this one pop up on the 'bay; http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-LANDCRUISER-LC5-4X4-D-4D-AUTO-BLACK-TOP-MODEL-LEATHERS-SAT-NAV-/281857564289?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276 It's (very) cheap at £4.4k but all the signs suggest it might be a scam - under priced, zero feedback seller etc. so buyer...

I've been wanting to get my front lower ball joints replaced for a while now after seeing a few owners have some catastrophic failures: http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/showthread.php/50888-90-series-front-suspension-ball-joint-wear?highlight=lower+ball+joint I really didn't want this...

I spent yesterday with The Freedom 4X4 Team, aka Trevor and Ed, having the front and rear UJs, rear ARB bushes/brackets and front lower ball joints replaced on my Collie. It was a lot to fit into one day, especially as the old UJs put up a damn good fight and took some serious effort to get out...

Saw this mentioned on the "dark side" and was wondering whether anyone here has heard similar? Apparently Toyota are going to drop the 200 series from the UK due to poor sales. If sales are poor, then whilst the reasoning may be sound from a pure accounting POV, IMHO it would be mistake from...

Here's one that might be worth a look @£3.5k - mileage on the high side but with service history (apparently). Certainly might be worth an offer IMHO if condition is good/fair. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-LANDCRUISER-COLORADO-VX-2001-3-0TD-AUTO-/171888270752?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

...for £8k. I suppose good ones are genuinely getting rare now...

Now I know this is a perennial topic of conversation amongst 4X4 owners and especially on LC forums and there is never really any genuine consensus but please humour me for a moment... :icon-wink: I'm currently running 265/75R16 Hankook RT10 tyres - these are LT rated ATs, which I find adequate...

This one looks in very good nick but NO KEYS...

I'm not even going to try and comment on the "value" of this........I'll let you guys decide. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-LAND-CRUISER-AMAZON-HDJ-100-SAFARI-SPECIAL-/191609082548?&_trksid=p2056016.l4276

Yesterday evening we went out for a family meal in the truck. All going smoothly until approaching a roundabout on a dual carriageway, doing about 40mph, I started gently applying the brakes to slow down and stop, as I could see a line of vehicles were approaching from the right. Now mine's an...
