Don't quote me but 46'C rings a bell. I got the correct figure from one of the LC forums, it might have been LCOOL. Blowed if i know where to find the article now, course they didn't use a laser thermometer, as i recall they jerry wired a couple of contacts on the diagnostics socket, not for me...

I changed several sumpfuls over the course of one day, the speed the oil circulates you don't need to drive far at all, i used a laser thermometer pointed at the sump to gauge the correct temperature for final level checking, in between fills i replaced each sumpful with the same amount drained...

Busy day today, swap winter/summer wheels over on the Forester and service the brakes at the same time, then wheels off the 120 and service the brakes on that plus general checkover for MOT end of this month. later.....my knees are protesting.

I have two extra long extra high ramps and two standard ones, all steel. Long ones for the front smaller jobbies for the rear, guesstimate the shorter distance of the smaller ramps, position mine roughly 12" in front of the rear wheels, engage low range and climb up all 4. The motor's absolutely...

Don't remind me about BG, i'd quite forgotten that saga. We live at 2B, our bungalow was built probably 20 years after the rest of the bungalows here, built on what was previously an orchard at the end of a cul-de-sac hence why it isn't numbered like the rest and why it never had cable laid for...

TBH those huge 4 piston front calipers on even the 120 series (almost identical system to 100 series) provide such stopping power as i've never thought about an upgrade. Finally after 17 years had to stump up for a new pair of front calipers (one of our flock had my old ones to send to Big Red...

You're missing bugger all Frank. I relented and got a smart phone purely for having google traffic permanently on during my working day, that has saved me countless times from being stuck in traffic.

Several years now without a telly licence, hadn't watched live telly for years anyway (because all crap) and SWMBO only really used BBCiplayer so it was no great loss for her to delete the apps so she couldn't log on by mistake. We are legal, you seriously couldn't pay me to watch the utter...

For Pete's sake, couldn't they have put the part number on too?

Yes, idiots everywhere. Nothings changed it would appear from when we were with NTL, and we have our own sob story of lunacy from that shower, even to the point of us being called by a debt collection agency whilst aboard the Orient Express, a debt for a service they couldn't have provided had...

If you whip the engine cover and intercooler off, do the numbers on the top of the injectors not refer to part number?

Agree with above, if prepared to pay that sort of money and this one isn't what you hope after all maybe get in touch with one of the well spoken of importers and bring a Prado in, that should be as new underneath, its what i had planned until mine suddenly appeared one morning traded in for a...

Whilst happy to keep the rear air suspension going as along as possible the difference between the various settings isn't enough to make me bother with TEMS shockers again, Monroes Koni Bilstien whatever i can find will go on. Koni apparently make adjustables for the 120, but from reading it...

Mine was leaking pipework, all pipework to the rear has been replaced with rubber hoses, decided to get it fixed and keep the rear section cooled for the dogs, yeah i know soft old bugger, daren't say how much that all cost. They earned it mind, i've sprayed the underbelly with various...

295846155642 ebay number. If that doesn't work punch in 'locking wheel nut removal tool'. Around £12 to £14, they should do the job ok.
