I reckon they will be £65 and upwards, as usually UK imports have better "standard" spec than European models - in other words, I wouldn't be surprised if Toyota drop the base model from the UK line up and only offer mid and high spec variants here.

4Kg per corner? TBH - I thought it was a trick question too but as you worded it "Guess the weight saving" - I'm assuming there is one.

I believe Flux are correct as all the original UK market 3.4V6s were automatic (and perhaps in VX trim but might be wrong on that). Would love to see how the 5VZ-FE drives with a manual box. Good luck - would love to see some pics btw. :thumbup:

I'm no expert on these "ways" usually involve an isolation switch or cut-off for the battery - which would work for older vehicles that don't have too many electronics but not sure whether that would be OK for more modern vehicles that rely on the power supply being available to various modules...

I wasn't even aware that is was a problem for Toyota tbh - I did know about the issues relating to JLR products, especially Range Rovers, simply because they have been widely publicised. Thanks for the heads-up.

Welcome Jaco :thumbup: Sounds like you've had some great adventures in your Landcruiser already and know your way around the vehicle - which can be handy info for other members. Wishing you many more happy miles on the trails with the FZ75! :icon-cool:

That's the Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor, I believe. :thumbup:

Wow - that was quick work! :icon-cool: Enjoy the 150 - and look forward to seeing lots of pics as you go on your Landcruiser ownership journey. :thumbup:

Yes, the one at the start of this thread is a 120. The OP was looking for advice on that initially. However the one we're more recently discussing is linked in the middle of the thread and is definitely a 150.

Yes, that is an early 150 - looks good in the pics. Do the 150s also suffer from the same tin worm problems as the 90 and 120? Obviously will be newer, so any effects may be lesser simply due to the fact that corrosion has has less time to take hold. I'd like to think that Mr Toyota took some...

Sad to hear - RIP Chas. Condolences to all his friends and family.

My 90 left for pastures new last May - would have been 20 years now. I knew I would miss the truck and I wasn't wrong - so now thinking about a 120. :icon-rolleyes: Just need to make the man maths work! :thumbup:

Blimey, those JDM models are good - the spare wheel carrier label even gives you life advice! "3. When I put my career back on track..." They think of everything they do, the Japanese! :icon-cool:
