I am just considering coming back to sensible Landcruiser ownership. My question is, when taking out the AHC. Does anything need turning off in the electronics or is it just pull the fuse and disconnect? No warnings light up on the dash etc? I ask as the possible cheap project has numerous...

No modified spanners, just patience and skinned knuckles.

It is possible with angled ring scanners to take off the top hose, also to unbolt the damper with the body in place, as I have done so on my first V8. It is however, very much a patient task and takes ages! You also need to bend in very odd directions if laid under the car and not on a lift of...

Generally speaking the converted cars are usually £1,000.00 more than a car which is not converted. It is not always the best way to go as you could be buying someone else troublesome conversion. Having had my fair share of converted LPG cars. Only one was already on LPG when I brought it. That...

I am on my second 100 series, both have been V8's on LPG. They have been used for work and generally always have boot full of tools & equipment. The first I had for three years. It did the sit down in low setting when pushing a trailer into some driveways and dragging out. Even when the trailer...

That would be great thanks Warren. On the ARB bumpers, my previous one of these had one on it and the powder coating started to rust on the rear one from below the surface, when I complained to the supplying party (from down west) they said not an issue that can be fixed, live with it! It was...

Evening, If you want to sell the original bumpers when you change over to the ARB ones would you please let me know, as I am just down the road from you and the would make my car look much tidier! Thank you Barry

Thank you for the advice, I think I might forget the headers and just go for manifold back. Will see if she passes MOT next month and that will give me a bit more time to decide :pray:

I would like to get at some point in the near future a complete SS exhaust for my V8 100. Ideally would like this to include headers, cats and the rest of the exhaust, following standard route is fine and not looking to sound like a boy racer! Just want long term peace of mind and not pay main...

I actually think it is a sign of the times. The last two or three years people are more rushed, in a hurry to get under the wheels of my car etc. What annoys me more is on a single track, the approaching car passes a pull in space and tries to make you climb the bank to get out of their way...

I think you will find it does not work. The roads are full with idiots who are either to stupid to realise it will hurt or do not care it will hurt! My last 100 had ARB bumpers front and rear. Did not stop idiots driving at you in non existant gaps, or crashing into the bar to stop themselves...

I put my grey ones on ebay and had no interest in them. Someone did ask for the seatbelt mounts out of the car that I had not removed! :violin:

Lots of hire places do trailer hire, which would be cheaper than buying an A frame. From memory 30 to 35.00 per day from the one I have used in Oxfordshire. A lot of indespension trailer retailers also do hire of trailers. Hope that helps?

I agree with Jon, its age that has caused them to expire. When mine started I changed all the ones in one bank of cylinders, working out which were good and saving for a spare in case of later issues. I was told that if you are running with failed coil packs it put extra load on the others and...

Mine came with a broken original one, but it is 12yrs old! My last one had separate fob to key as it was older still, not sure if the bits out of the key would fit one of those fobs as I did not manage to break any of them for the three years I had that one? Just a thought.
