This has had hardly any use in it's life time by me or the previous owner. It has how ever sat on my roof rack for the past 4 years or so. I really don't want to sell it but unfortunately with the upcoming trip it's just too hard to store anywhere. The new retail price for this is £2800. It...

Russia have just announced that buying a ticket for the 2019 European games will give you visa free access to ticket holders. I've just bought two tickets to the archery hoping they extend the visa free access like they did for the world cup. It was a hefty investment of £5 for two tickets for...

Do they normally give much trouble when replacing them? I have a set of braided lines that have just arrived along with new callipers. I want the 80 back on the road asap so not sure i'm up for the usual battle of rusted fittings and doing the work in the evenings this week. If they don't...

Does anyone have experience with these ones? Prices look to be very reasonable when compared to maxtrax. http://www.hebe-sandbleche.de/

Just picked up one of these. Quite a good price at £342 I think too. https://www.flatdoguk.com/arb-twin-motor-air-compressor---max-performance---12v~1006

As i'm finally starting to get time to do this build (after having the trailer for over 12 months) I thought it was long over due to start a build thread. It's still very much how it came out of the factory so there is alot to do! A few of you saw the giant awning that we have just acquired for...

Out on a local run with that sounded like a wheel bearing on it's way out but was becoming worse much quicker (within miles) first onto more rumbling on corners and then onto a full wobble through the steering. I left it a little longer than normal to check as I was so close to home - this...

I just came across these: https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/auto-fireman-world-s-first-car-fire-extinguisher#/ Probably not large enough to make a big difference on their own but could be great for the first very valuable 30 seconds once a fire has started.

I'm watching this at the moment covers all of the basics. It's all green oval based unfortunately but covers loads of things like suspension types, traction control, water crossings, hill ascents & descents etc.

I just noticed these on rough trax. http://www.roughtrax4x4.com/sheriff-steering-transmission-guard-skid-plate-black-steel-80-series.html And then noticed it was the last one to had to purchase. I haven't heard of the brand before but considering rough trax generally stock quality items I bit...

I have the sliver jag that was hit whilst parked. Do I need to notify my insurance company or can I just do it through the at fault driver ... which I assume is the driver of the red car? Thanks

I think the pics say enough. The motor in the auspit is whisper quiet

So a few weekends ago I was running a new cable to the back of the 80 for the new camp trailer. To make it easier I removed the air box for better access with routing the cables. When I had it out I noticed some rust on the bottom that I thought I would give a quick clean up and a new coat of...

What one are you using and does it need to go below 20:1 for a diesel? I've been looking at these but they don't seem to go below 20:1. https://www.plxdevices.co.uk/product/Automotive/Multi-Gauges/PLX-0109/C6AFR4EGT/DM-6-and-SM-AFRG4-and-EGT-Combo

http://www.dangerousroads.org/ From looking only a few can be considered truly dangerous. Most are just a nice Sunday drive for a land cruiser. There are alot more than I expected all throughout Europe.

Hi Guys, I know there is one or two of you in the game so thought I would post on here to see if I fall into an area you can make it too ... or maybe know someone who is near by that you can recommend. It's a largish tree that has some rot in the trunk and has that large shed behind it and a...

I've been keen for a while to have a sat nav system installed higher up and more in the line of sight in my 80. I currently mainly use my phone for maps etc which is bit of a PITA having to set up every single time. I've been wondering if installing a single DIN radio with slide out screen...

I'm after a load guard fairly urgently for my 80 series land cruiser. I've had a look around online but can't find anything that is designed to fit. I have a trip coming up in a couple of weeks and really need one before then. I can recall seeing one online for an eye watering price of over...

Leaving tomorrow morning from London to spend 4 or 5 days on the Orkney islands. I think i'll head up along the A1 as I haven't done that route north before. Does anyone have tips for on the way up or on the islands themselves?

Hi All, As per thread title my viscous fan is always on and roaring like a jet engine. I can't find much online as to why they get stuck (It's all about them not working at all) so I'm just asking on here for what to look at once I take it off. From my research so far they re quite simple - just...
