My local air con specialist always tries to cut out and replace sections of pipe when he can.... he nearly always just blanks the aircon pipes to the rear cabin if they are leaking. It is MUCH cheaper!

yes - tried that but no change. The problem was a leak in one of the pipes - they cut out the bad bit and spliced in some new. Very good (if a bit scruffy) aircon specialist.

Update.... The aircon stopped blowing cold today so I took it to a local AC specialist - what a great guy - old school who fixes stuff rather than throw new parts at it! Anyway - he injected some dye and discovered a small pinhole leak in a tiny high pressure pipe which he will cut out and...

Update... I took the key back and we discovered that each side of the key was slightly different and he had to rotate the original key in his machine and do a separate copy of each "side" of the key - worked perfectly after that and he simply "cloned" the transponder code to the new key with...

Cheers guys.... the original key is working fine now after a bit of lubrication and a good dousing with electrical contact cleaner... the "new" key works (ish) in the door locks (I need to pull it out a wee bit and the wiggle!) but will not work in the ignition... I am nervous of trying it too...

Well, I thought I would be sensible and get a spare key for the LC120. It only came with one key and I am worried about losing it! so.... much reading on t'internet and scouring of Ebay leads me to find a supplier just around the corner (St Helens UK) who can cut and program keys - joy of...

Hi all. my Landcruiser judders a bit when setting off in first and the clutch pedal "bite" indicates a worn clutch.... It is too big a job for me to tackle so I am looking for a recommended garage in the Warrington/ St Helens area and maybe some idea of likely costs for labour... I assume the...

I think I would give them a call and ask if that means it has already been done.... if it is within the VIN range then I guess the previous owner will have made sure the job was done .... hopefully!

Try Quik Fit for a re-gas - if it does not work they do not charge.

Interior fan switched on I suppose?

Nice one Barry.... made me laugh! ps ....My wife has just come in and I showed what you have done.... you have made our night - so funny.... well done for posting that hilarious pic - love it!

Just to clarify - when sidelights are switched on - just the front sidelights work NOT the rear tail lights...... and when headlights ("main night time lights") are switched on everything works? Is that correct? If so..... very weird!!!! ps - just a thought - it is the "bottom" red lights...

Looks like a lot of work! I think a sandblaster is required!

Hi and welcome (again) :whistle:- this forum is better than the other one I think!

Thanks all.... glad it is all ok. I feel a bit guilty because I took the car to Kwik Fit to get it looked at - they will regas for free if it does not solve the problem... anyway, they connected it up to their machine and it removed all of the old gas, tested the system, filled up with new...
