Hi All After Enquiring about Karl's Roof top tent, and then the Wife getting involved, im in need of a bit more info from experienced users. I liked the look of the hardtop roof tents and they are pretty low profile when packed, are their makes/models to avoid? I also liked the simplicity of...

I thought id start a thread to see the changes as they happen to my new LC commercial.

Hi All Its been a while since buying Toyota parts. Last time i ordered it was Simon Holton. I think he went up the ladder though? do we have a resident go to genuine parts guy now?

Hi All I'm finally re joining the club, I'm actually coming back to my routes with a Silver Landcruiser. I put a deposit down today on a commercial version. (as its through my company) Sold the Q5, it just wasn't big enough for my needs. I will be putting in a rear seat conversion in due...

Hello All Been a while again. I have just returned from a trip around the NC500 on my Motorbike. While I was traveling round I kept on bumping into this. Its from Germany and was fully welded to the roof line.

Still on the task of going through my Garage. I have the compressor that i took off the 120. if anyone wants it for parts of refurb then you are welcome to it. the compressor was still working when i took it off, it has a noisy bearing on it. i did post a video clip at the time so if you do...

Hello I have been tidying the Garage up and found this. i bought this when changing my compressor on the 120 and they had sold out, so i ordered another one (different seller) as i wanted it all back up and running and then this arrived later on. Its the better version with the aluminium plug...

I see you lot up north are getting some snow. I have just looked at my weather report, looks like im getting Sleet!!!:angry-banghead::angry-banghead::angry-banghead:

This time last year i had sold my 120. and purchased a Touareg. I really liked the Touareg for what i was doing (mainly the family weekend car with no offroading) i loved the v6 TdI and 8 speed auto box. So I needed to buy a truck for my business, I went and test drove a Ranger, not bad but a...

Hello Im finally starting on my Garage clean up. I have the roof Bars that i bought for my 120. i bought the better whispbars that attach to the toyota rails and sit nice a and low (good for tight carparks) they are also one of the quietest bars on the market. I was going to see if they fit...

Where am I Chris.

Hello All I had looked at many 4x4's since selling my 120. And today I picked this up.

Hi All i keep seeing the Advert for the Range Rover Velar. and i have to admit i quite like it!! Its way out of my price range though. Whats your thoughts on it?

I took the tuning box off the LC before selling , so if anyone needs a tuning box for the 164bhp version this will fit. it needs to have the six wires coming from the sensor near the EGR. it cost me over £300 new so selling for £150 + postage.

Hello I have sold the 120 now, so have the dog guard for sale. The make is Travall and fits in within minutes. they are new on ebay for £145. £50 + Postage or you are more than welcome to collect.

Hello All I have just listed my LC on Ebay. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/132453853396 its time to upgrade i have been looking at the newer 150 series but still undecided what route im going. but for now i will sell the LC so i have the money sitting there to upgrade when the right 4x4 comes up...

Anyone fancy the new BF All terrain :smirk:

My Parents went to Bath for the weekend in their motor home. they spotted this on the campsite and sent me the pics. Looks pretty tidy to me.

Right my next thing i would like to do is change the auto box fluid. i know it takes the silly priced WS ATF and its supposed to be sealed for life, but it doesnt sit well with me. My LC has done 81k now and is 13 years old. so the oil must be pretty crap by now. what would you do? I just...

Now I have completed my A.C. and brakes. I thought what else can I do to the LC. So I thought why not bring it up to date and install a rear view camera. I plan to install it next to the number plate light and try to get it looking as factory fit as possible.

I went to view a BMW X5 tonight. Nice car, it was the 35d 280 odd BHP twin turbo version. plenty off power. and lots of toys but if im honest i prefer the drive of my Landcruiser. so for now the LC's safe.:icon-biggrin:

Hello I took the LC out tonight and left it running while i picked something up. i noticed my AC compressor is pretty noisy. It blows out nice and cold and its switching in and out fine. but when its engaged its noisy. I can pick up a new compressor for just over £300 and then need the gas...

Hello has anybody had any dealings with cybox exhausts? They do an off the shelf stainless exhaust for my 120, in the pics it doesn't look too bad. they do three options System with no CAT System with Dummy CAT System with Sports CAT The link only shows the System with no CAT...

Hello Due to a cock up on my behalf. I now have a Tunit VCR tuning box for sale. I bought the one from Barry on here, but i assumed the connection would be the same (they are not) My later 2004 164bhp d4d engine has a 6 pin connector on the end of the fuel rail. This box fits the earlier 3...

Hi All Im thinking of Selling the Landcruiser. Its a lovely Car i just feel like a change. Im not sure i should mention it on here, but ive been looking at the audi Q7's 4.2tdi's It might be something i regret afterwards due to the complex working of the thing. but i fancy something with a...

Got home from work today to find a letter through the letterbox. Asking if I'm interested in selling the LC. I thought very hard for a second or two:lol: I just couldn't part with it.:eusa-snooty:

I was visiting this place earlier and went past a recovery truck on the A14 carrying an R plate 80 with BF AT's on it. I hope it wasnt a members truck?

Hello Now i have got all my summer holiday/trips out of the way im now focusing on my Christmas trip to Aviemore. We will be heading up to Newcastle and staying overnight and completing our journey the next day. Once im further into Scotland what will the roads be like at this time of year...

I went on a Family trip to Devon last weekend, so i changed the settings on my tuning box. i had it set for power in France and the best i got was 29mpg. So this time the box was put on the eco mode. the journey to Devon was a bit stop start in places and i managed to get 30mpg. and on the way...

Hello Just thinking out loud really. Do any of the Toyota Guru's know if you buy new injectors, can a home mechanic do the swap over or do you need the software to code them in? Not that my injectors need doing im just thinking in the long term, if they needed doing, could i do them.

Made it down to frejus with no issues with the LC. Fuel has not been a problem at all. Media hype one again. I've been logging my fuel and got a constant 25mpg all the way down. That is with 5 people in the car, fully loaded boot, air-conditioning on, with cruise control set at 80mph. So...

Well onto a field to the dog show :laughing-rolling: It still counts though, and the atrac didn't kick in.

Hello All i have this dog guard sitting in my garage. I bought it from eBay a while back for my new 120. It fit inside my Colorado so i used it for a while. When i got my new 120 it came with a dog guard:doh: So the other day i thought il take out my guard and put the other one in to take some...
