Thanks Chris,I will take a look. Matthew

Ive been intending to do the handbrake adjustment as I do think it needs doing so I better make it a bit of a priority,cheers for the help

Thank you guys,Chris having been more diligent about applying the handbrake and then moving into park the warning lights have not been coming on so I guess your comments right.Hopefully the problem will not reoccur,so thanks again.

Hi All, If its not one thing its another. In the last week or so I have found that if I stop on an hill,going up or down and go from drive to park sometimes I then find it either difficult or impossible to get out of park.If the gear lever is stuck in park the VSC and TRC OFF warning light comes...

Thanks again Rob,this is the set I have ordered,I'm assuming its the full set of correct pins,sleeve and dust boot for both rear calipers. Regards Matthew PS this was the drawing I was referring to https://partsouq.com/en/catalog/toyota/part?catalog=GR&model_code=HZJ105L-GCMNS&group=4707

Thanks Rob that puts my mind at rest. Can you tell me if the top and bottom sliders are different,I have looked at a couple of exploded drawings and although the drawing are not particularly detailed it looks as though they may be slightly different. Thanks

Hi Guys,This may seem a silly question but is it correct that there is only one rubber slider pin cover ( probably the wrong terminology) and yet there are the two pins as per this Slider kit , thanks...

Unfortunately Andy I cannot be without the car for a week but had that been possible it would have been a serious consideration.

Thanks for all the advice and suggestions,I have now ordered the brake pad guide fitting clips,Slider kit and grease so hopefully in a few days I will be up and running again,regards Matthew

Having now had a lot on ebay after your post Tony I see you are able to buy a "Slider kit"such as this one https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TOYOTA-LANDCRUISER-J120-2003-2009-REAR-BRAKE-CALIPER-SLIDER-PIN-KIT-BCF1418B/331568548369?hash=item4d33068a11:g:dPQAAOSwAhtZ4KA0:rk:10:pf:0 The reason I was...

Thank you for the quick replies guys.I was planning on ordering the Advics/OE part from Roughtrax at £132.00 but can anyone recommend a better place to order the part from,cheers

Hi member,firstly happy new year to all. In the next few days I am needing to replace my rear offside brake caliper so obviously will need to bleed the brakes so can someone tell if I need to bleed just the one brake I have worked on or all four and if so what sequences should they be bled...

If I am ever called Pal,Matt or Matty on first meeting my back is up.Only long long time friends can call me by the middle one but still not the other two.

Thanks for the quick and detailed replies.I will give it a go tomorrow and yes I will be doing the adjustment at the drum end :)

Having just replaced the pads all round on my LC4 I am now thinking maybe I should adjust the hand brake.I have read all of this thread and I don't really want to get involved in a total strip down as has been described unless I really need to.In fact I don't at this stage even know if it needs...
