Most of the reviews I’ve seen are quite favourable. Agree I’d like a 6cyl and don’t really understand why TME are introducing it here with only the 2.8D when the US gets the Hybrid from first bat. If I were in rhe US then the Lexus badged version would be the choice with a better engine, or a...

wow, that’s beautiful. Uro box? love to see more pics.

Sad news. Condolences to his family.

You might well find it’s cheaper to buy from PartSouq or Amamaya inc delivery etc than from TGB anyway. As for helpful Toyota dealers they seem few and far between these days.

I went on a free ticket on that original invite. Had to take the FJ thanks to DVLA not registering the Troopy in time… It was a nice weekend. It’s a nice show, if very small and the venue was lovely. I gave them a lot of input how to develop the Overlander side of the show going forward and they...

My experience of multicar was it was good value for 1st year, on renewal they doubled the premium for the Honda Jazz, (not the FJ) no explanation from them so I swapped insurer. I suspect it was a case of ‘try it and see if they just renew’)

Hmmm don’t know. Spec for my 78 is 75W85 GL5 for diffs and 75W90 in the T box and gearbox Are you a TOA facebook member? Be worth asking there

Don’t see why we can’t call a Smurf a LC….be nice to follow its story.

A friend just swapped out his. He’d be willing to sell it but doesn’t want to post. He’s Worcester direction. Send me a pm if interested with a contact and I’ll pass it on

My interpretation of his thinking, or lack there of, is that on cars where the dash illumination is always on then there is a green “lights on” indicator, to remind dumb drivers they turned them on…for us folks with old tech, our dash only illuminates when we turn the lights on so that is the...

Some wiring diagrams are availble via PartSouq if you put in your chassis no. Otherwise try ebay Australia. There are some resources on the TOA Facebook page I can look for you, Where is the fault? Is it a VDJ?

Sounds good. I was going to try and arrange camping next to the river nr Mildenhall but won’t pursue if this works. Sadly I now work weekends so can’t make it

There are lots of synthetic ropes for sale on eBay but most will come out of China with no certification. Likewise I recall asking David Bowyer of Goodwinch for his certification and was told “he sometimes tied a length to the back of the Range Rover and couldn’t break it” !!! (Not sure how the...

I tried to set up a camping weekend last year, sadly the land owner messed around but I’m going to try again for this year. Site near Midlenhall Suffolk, big flat field next to the river and short walk along river path to the pub. Have to work around the hay crop but hopefully I can sort...

Ye I know Ardingly well, cousins owned various properties there for many many years, so yes I know the many walks thanks.
