I had something similar happen on a Volvo I owned back in the day. When I bought the car, I asked if it had ever been damaged and the previous owner told me the door had been hit and replaced. I guessed the hinge plate had been damaged too, but it took a couple of years before it failed. A...

My LC100 had 275/65 road tyres on 17" rims. I swapped them for 275/70 Cooper AT3s without any dramas. I think I posted about the speed differences on another forum, but they were marginal. The AT3s are quieter on the road too.

I just bought two complete gutter strips and an extra set of covers for my LC100 from Amayama. Part number is 7550660031 for the gutter strip, 7555760010 for the longer (middle) covers and 7555760020 for the shorter ones (front and back). Total order plus shipping (UAE to NZ) was US$97. The...

My 2007 does about 11L per 100km, perhaps a bit less on a long run without any hills. I'm running Cooper AT3s, quite like the drive at 38psi. Recommended is 32psi but it feels a bit soft. Tried 42psi and the kids were sick in the back haha

Reminded me of this episode locally to me. http://i.stuff.co.nz/the-press/news/hills-and-harbour/9413407/Two-more-4WDs-stuck-in-estuary VX100

My 2006 100 runs at 2200rpm at 120kmh in 5th gear on the road if that helps VX100

I put RT03s on my Burstner camper van. They were very noisy at 80-100 kmh. They were good in the wet though. VX100

I spent the first month just looking at it every time we got home.. My missus got jealous lol I had a test drive in a 200 a couple of weeks ago. Nice but stupid money and no real advantage over the 100 for what we do. Plus I'd be scared to put all the horse gear in a new one for fear of...

Flicking through some old pics and I found these gems of my engine bay taken the day we took delivery of our 100 back in 2007. Wish it was still that clean now :)

In the Installation video at all-car-carpets.com.au (see here) it says to glue the underlay to the back of the new carpet. Anyone know if you still have to do this if you just replace the carpet and leave the original underlay in place? I was just going to buy the carpet itself as my underlay is...

This is a list of the available wifi networks in Wellington NZ today. I guess we don't do covert surveillance..... VX100
