The centre diff lives in the transfer box and electrically engaged, essentially coupling both propshafts ensuring power reaches both axles on the loose stuff. Think of it like a 3rd axle running the length of the vehicle.

That is your centre diff lock button. Only ever use on loose surfaces but good practice to "exercise" every now and again to keep the actuator from seizing.

The LC4 and LC5 variants have ATRAC, IIRC under 2K revs and ATRAC pulses the ABS on the slipping wheel on an axle to try and send power to the other wheel. Worked well in some muddy conditions at Lincomb but not great in really thick claggy stuff. Engage centre diff for slippy or snow...

We have a road closure on one of the roads to the pub, red X shows closure so please enter the village from the A422 where the blue arrow is. Thanks.

It may well be that the UJ is corroded and sticking in the column itself. If you look at where the column joins the steering rack and follow it up you will see the UJ. It's this section that is known for this, a royal pain in the proverbial to change too and you must ensure you are spline...

Another chance to have a "do nothing" weekend at a pub. There is no charge, rather an expectation to buy a few beers or have a meal in the pub during our stay. The field can fit around 20 Cruisers or so on the flat area. The location is the Stratton Arms, Turweston, Northants, NN13 5JX...

Still working. Late finish tonight for me. I'll walk down later for a couple of beers but come down in the truck tomorrow

Good Truck Stop that is. Enjoy.

Steve, kitchen usually shuts at 9pm but I think it would be worth giving them a call and book a table just in case it's a busy evening. The number is 01280 704956.

Here's the guide if you fancy rebuilding it, pretty straightforward to do. https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/power-steering-pump-rebuild-guide.147390/

12 - 2 and 7 - 9 I think

@fbnss yes to brekkie

It is in places but not too bad overall

That's 4 hours of fighting I'm glad to see the back of. No more leaking diesel when filling up anymore on the 100.

Quite right Karl. Alternative date sorted and now posted.

I should be able to, the chap who does the welding for them has been out of reach for a while. As soon as I've made contact with him I'll be able to answer properly.

I've not played with that on the 120, not convinced the pump and injectors would like it. Would be interested in hearing from a 120 owner who's had success.

A very sad post to read. He has inspired, taught and helped so many folk. Knowledgeable, no nonsense and hilarious humour. To have faced his illness head on with humour, humility and bravery is very much a measure of the man. Thoughts to Claire and the family, gone but definitely won't be...

Phil the Landlord is offering up breakfast for those that may want it. Sat Full English with tea or coffee £7.50 Sun Bacon Rolls with tea or coffee £4.00 Vegetarians can be catered for also. If you can add yourselves to the list so I can give him an idea of numbers before Friday that would be...

I wouldn't get too hung up on matching exact tyre width, still safe enough if you overhang a smidge over either side but helps to have a spotter as you drive up. Raj I run the pressure washer down the chassis legs in one direction and then turn the truck around on the ramps and do the same...

I built these ramps to get underneath with the pressure washer and see what I'm doing, don't be alarmed at the Landrover, another forum member has this but it does have a rather lovely cruiser petrol engine under the hood.

That happens if the idle is too high :)

Make sure there are no burrs on the key, fit key to pulley (after setting the 2 pump timing gear marks) and then fit pump.

Pre facelift doesn't have the in dash sat nav/heater control screen, instead has a single DIN stereo with gap underneath and normally has 16" alloys whereas the faclift has 18" alloys.

Hi Ram, If you have access to toyodiy you can enter the VIN of your truck and it'll take you to the right variant. Trev

I'll be popping down to the pub later but not bringing truck down until the morning.

Raj, that's a humongous offer. Fortunately I have another truck which Mrs Trev is currently using, so we are all good at the moment.

More complex than that Shayne. Had wing, bumper etc off. Insurance want it jigged and measurements recording before being signed off. I don't have the gear, time or dosh so I'm pulling engine/transmission, wheels etc and see if I can sell whats left. Ideally need to find another truck before end...

Empty body shell, too much work in the time I've got left in workshop unfortunately.

On the hunt for a pre facelift 100, ideally in silver but all options considered. Doesn't have to be a runner as I'll be dropping my rebuilt engine in, however needs to be a decent example in all other respects. Doing my own searching but sometimes trucks may be unadvertised so hoping the...

No agreed value, but they have valued it a bit more than I insured it for and are paying out on that value, the salvage percentage they aren't budging on and I agree the engine is worth more than that. The bit I'm not convinced about is where the inner wing meets the A pillar being counted as...

Assessor did say Insurance companies cottoned onto the salvage side of things a while back.

Yes KB, exactly that.
