    Tyre pressures

    After running at motorway speeds and checking side wall temps on front and rear, I have set 40 front and 50 rear. I am running heavy with stuff on roof, water cans, spares etc so this seems to be a 'sensible' level which I will continue to monitor. I am sure the lower pressures suggested...

    Tyre pressures

    The rears are slightly warm after a run at 38psi so thinking of putting up a bit to 42. Handbook, for slightly different profile, suggests 44. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    Locking wheel nuts

    I am trying to source a set of locking wheel nuts for the steel wheels on my 105 series. The nuts are M14 1.25 60degree. However, my search to date has failed to find anything. Any suggestions or does anyone have a set for sale? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

    105 Series Wheels and tyres

    Thanks. The 16 inch rims (not sure whether original) are a 5 spoke steel. Checking the BFG site, the largest 16 inch diameter is a 75 profile.

    105 Series Wheels and tyres

    I currently have 265/75/R16 tyres fitted to 16 inch rims on my 105 series. However, I am about to fit a new set of tyres for our overland journey to Australia and not sure whether to replace with the same or go to a bigger tyre/larger rim. i note the speedo reads high so inclined to go bigger...

    1HZ Overworked?

    I have a similar set up. The only guidance I was offered is to ensure you let the vehicle idle for at least 30seconds when you stop before switching off. This allows the turbo oil to cool. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD
