    slight whining noise upon acceleration

    Check your front wheel bearings, jack one wheel up and grab it 12-6, if it rocks then the chances are the bearing is shot, it could also be that you just need to repack the fronts with grease. I get through front bearings on mine once a year, but that's due to the water getting in and me leaving...

    Prado vs Normal 70

    Cracked 2.4 head - bubbles question.

    When the engine warms, it will push the water out to the reservoir so it should fill up or you may get the odd bubble.

    Engine upgrades

    I believe it wont fit, well you could probably squeeze it in somwhow. The non light-duty has a bigger front engine bay I beleive, I have seen reference to people doing it, but they use a half cut and put the larger front end on. Its all from memory so could be wrong.... Martin.

    70 series rear door hinges..

    Hi all, If anyone has a spare set of hinges(or just the bottom one)from the barn doors for a 70 series land cruiser then I would like to snap them up? Kids damaged it last time by swinging on the door during a camping trip last year... :roll:

    Carputer + RFI

    Mines the same, but mine is mostly the screen, its in front of the stereo and plugged in the lighter when in use. It could also be something do with the computer being grounded too far from the battery, via the case and a negative to the battery. something like negative feedback or negative...

    Carputer

    Have you thought about an SSD drive? apart from the cost :shock: http://www.novatech.co.uk/novatech/prods/Components/HardDrives-Internal/SolidState/2.5inchSolidState/SSDSA2MH080G2R5.html That needs an SATA interface, not sure if you can get a IDE one.
