Hello, My radio, clock and interior light are not working. It seemed like a loose contact somewhere first, as they went on and off occasionally, but now they are not working anymore for good. What can that be? The fuses in seem ok, saying that I cannot identify a fuse, which would cover these...

Hello I am looking for spotlights, but have no idea what to choose. I have all the wiring already installed ("sports wiring system IPF" running from batteries??) from previous owner, but the lights are missing. So what to buy? I do not want to spend a couple of hundreds on the lights, so is...

Hello I drove about 3 miles this morning and parked the car. After about 20 minutes, I started the car again, but the center diff lock light never went again. I had to drive about 50 miles the and could not check, if it's just the light or if the lock is engaged. I tested this just now with...

I am looking for chequer plate (or a cheap source). I need enough to cover the loading area (rear seats folded) and lower tailgate of an 80. Preferably I'd like black plate. Cheers Gilbert

Hi After one of my windows did not work at all anymore, I too out the seal and gave it a good clean and sprayed it wit silicon. I also lubricated the window mechanics. The window goes down pretty fast now, but up is still pretty slow (I also cleaned the contacts in the switch, previously). I...

Today I was going to quickly replace the cigarette lighter after it broke using it as a plug for an aircompressor. So first thing I bought a standard replacement lighter, then dashboard off. Of course it would not fit the landcruiser plug, so a bit of adjusting. Strange wires... What could...

Hi I connected an aircompressor to the cigarette lighter and tried to pump up the tyres. The compressor was going very slowly and after a couple of minutes it stopped working. It seems it destroyed the plug (fuse is still OK). Funnally enough this exactly happened in my last Truck (you would...

I was trying to get the rear seats out today. Seemed pretty simply, till I came to the screws at the inner folding mechanism. Rather than 14mm bolts like the others, these are different and cannot be opened with a screwdriver or key. What instrument do I need for those, I've never seen anything...

Hi I've got two sets of wheels for my car. Unfortunately one of the wheels of the split rim set is damaged at the outer part. The inner part is aluminium and the outer looks like steel. I'll see if I can find somebody who can repair it, but maybe somebody has one of those lying around. I quite...

Well that was a brief enjoyment. My father crashed my Landcruiser today. Trying to avoid a head on collision on a single track road he went with the front into a big hedge and the other car crashed into the rear driver side. Damage (as far as (can see): Front: bumper, passenger side headlight...

Hi The more I am working on the truck, the more mysteries I find. Does anybody know what the four unused plugs (3 big, 1 small) in the picture can or should be used for? Cheers Gilbert http://s800.photobucket.com/albums/yy29 ... 010556.jpg http://s800.photobucket.com/albums/yy29 ... 010555.jpg

Hello I need a seal for the piston of the rear brake (early type) caliper of my truck. The brakes have been overhauled by a garage a week before I bought the car, but they must have damaged the seal when putting it in (if you dont do it yourself...). Piston and dustcover are ok. There is not...

Hello My ABS light does not come on, although the ABS does not work. The buld is in the dash, so is the fuse in the fuse box in the engine bay. What else could be the reason for the light not to come on? Cheers Gilbert

Hello My odometer does not work. The speedo is fine and shows mph (although import with km face). I took the dash out and there were three cables conected to the back of the speedo, which I reckon are to alter the km/h signal to mph, but I could not see any abvious fault on the Odometer. Any...

Hello I am looking for an owners manual for a 1992 4.2TD (Import). Where can I get one? Cheers Gilbert

Hi My truck has roughly 150kmiles. As I do not have a service history, I am currently replacing all fluids and filters. I did some research, but could not find anything on the replacement on the auto box filter. Should I replace that as well? If yes, where apart from Mr T can I get one...

Hi My name is Gilbert. I recently bought a 1992 VX Limtid. No service history, leaking rear break, leaking power steering pump, superwinch x9 (not working), ABS (not working, although new mot), Aircon (condenser shot), of course the windows are slow (only up though)... so loads of joy ;)...
