So I was just going to say I was pretty impressed with wet grip/braking and then we just had a brief dusting of snow and town near me (Sevenoaks) came to a complete standstill as we were in car full of kids heading out for food undeterred. Luckily I had abandoned my attempt to swap shocks...

Hi, am looking to upgrade suspension on my 5.7L 200. After hours of surfing here, there and everywhere for both reviews and UK availability of parts, I have this thought. (By the way for those who haven't seen, this is a very informative review (for a 100)...

Hi there, I am still fumbling my way around this forum. I have a 5.7US in the UK (they're bloody good aren't they compared to the diesel, provided you look away when you fill up). If you find out how to change to deg C, let me know. I tried with the Toyota software in obd port and still couldn't...

I can't argue with that. My next cunning plan is to use some 12bar 4-6" pvc pipe tucked under each side as a reservoir. Will be dramatic if I hit a rock with pressure in them but will store about 50l so smaller compressor can pump them up if I'm using an air ratchet.

What brake upgrade did you do? I have a 5.7 US 200, which unlike the diesel goes like shit off a shovel for something that big, overtaking cars 8 plus luggage on board going up a mountain, and is so much smoother - I didn't like the uk 4.5 new diesel and got a us import for about £40k less I can...

I'm about to fit one. I have a medium size one 35A I can squeeze into engine Bay (on 200 5.7) rhs and got a bigger one (45A) which is too big to go there- I had the cunning plan of mounting in the recess in the spare wheel where it's low but with a spare cover and only occasional wading (with it...

So they fit, just, two of them needed 230g to balance, I was helping the mobile fitter and we could feel his van shake when we first spun them up! Took them up to a little over 100mph and almost silent on road, grip seems ok, drove across a wet grassy field at about 30-40mph and felt reasonably...

Here they are about to fit compared to the Hangkook ventus AS which is on the vehicle and the (brand new) Michelin latitude spare off and horizontal. They look big off the vehicle and compared to spare but they're only a little larger, I hope they fit ok, size calculator says only 3% or about an...

Driving at 120 on German autobahn is actually fine and perfectly safe but totally agree re ice- if you get reasonable "ice traction" it rarely seems to translate in any vehicle into corresponding "ice braking" and physics means you just carry more kinetic energy into the accident! The 120mph and...

Thanks everyone. I did mean 120mph. We're heading across Germany where I like to keep up - we did trip in a Q7 Couple of years ago with sustained stretches at 130-140mph and (in a sportier car) I had the immense satisfaction of legally overtaking a police car which was itself doing about 140mph...

I have a 5.7L lc200. Winter has just arrived in the UK and I plan to go skiing later in Europe. I also drive over muddy fields, sometimes towing something occasionally but most of the use is on tarmac. I live up a steep long private drive which gets leaf covered and I have towed my neighbour's...

I use standard iridium ones. It's not perfect at idle but runs fine under power. You can get silver ones but they wear out quickly I believe. Any other feedback? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Just saw your thread. I guess you found your wheels a while ago. I have 18 inch wheels and I wouldn't mind a set of 20s for long road journeys if you still have yours. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
