    L/C Colarado 2002 lwb

    Welcome BB. I managed to find one for my Collie through FB marketplace but beware there are quite a few scammers out there. An alternate that I've used is Nayab Akbar (FB forum 'Toyota LandCruiser Source UK, Ireland and Europe') but can be expensive!

    N4 Works winch plate

    Cheers Bert, that info and photo are really helpful. Guessed there might be some 'other' mods required. Looks like the trusty dremel and a few big tools might be required!

    N4 Works winch plate

    Has anyone used these guys before (N4 Off-Road Parts). I'd like to keep the stock front fender with a winch so this mounting plate would suit and there is a UK distributor.

    Engine rebuild update and warning to others regarding second hand parts

    Following a lengthy rebuild my Collie is back on the road and all is swimmingly well... or so I thought. The first 500 mile run in went well and she's been in for a new oil and filter change, no issues there until the garage rang to say 'we can't get the oil stick back in the tube'! After a lot...

    Anyone know Overland Cruisers

    Helllooo...., its been a long haul. The truck is back on the road and I've been using occasionally as I have a small problem but its concerning. The replacement engine runs a treat, I had the oil and filter changed after an initial 500 miles and the local garage said they couldn't fit the oil...

    Anyone know Overland Cruisers

    TBH, I've been getting parts from Nayab Akbar on FB under the Toyota LandCruiser source UK, Ireland & Europe group. Takes a while getting them from shipped to delivery but can source pretty much anything. Parts are shipped to Wolverhampton depot and then internally from there. Provides photos...

    Eleck-Trickery Question re Immobiliser

    I've had a few small gremlins and initially changed the alternator and then upgraded the battery from 75Ah to 100Ah which has helped compensate small losses. Had odd occasions when the alarm randomly beeps although the engine is running and even beeping when I've stopped the engine and opened...
