Thanks guys. I'm not a stickler for the brands. As long as the oil is reputable and it meets the specs required then it'll do. Out of curiosity, what temperature would I be looking for really?

Yes sorry it's the 5 speed automatic gearbox. From what I can see there is a sump on the gearbox and inside the sump is a filter. I've also found out that it's £70(!!!!!) for this filter.

It's occurred to me that my 120 is at 165,000 miles now and there's a good chance the gearbox oil has never been changed. I've noticed a slight hang (sometimes) between gears, it's mostly smooth. But to ease my own anxiety with the car I should really get this done. I have had a quote last year...

Last year I had problems with the rear air suspension on my 120 which is LC5 too. Long story short the height sensor broke, lead to it over inflating, bent the bracket, then it kept chewing up air bags. Aside from that, the rear shocks were awful towards the end. Whatever would happen the ride...

Less MWHTC and more I'm Not Sure Of It. It has sort of behaved, injector wise. I still hear a tapping on and off, I don't think it's the injectors, it seems more random. But it's getting good MPG and feels alright. That said no doubt it'll decide to play up tonight! But the difference between...

I took a long time to do this but I did promise I would stick all of this in a video for whoever comes after me needing to do the work.

I didn’t see you mentioned it.

Hold fire with this. You can’t just blank the EGR off. If you do you can run the risk of having the EML coming on all the bastard time. You can either get a blanking plate and drill a 7mm hole in the middle of it, or you can get the fuel trimmer thing from OzBush Electronics and blank it off...

Cheers guys. I've bought a generic one for the moment but will get the current one reconditioned. At least then if it goes wrong then I can swap them without too much of a problem. Anything to get the bloody shock absorbers on this thing and to get it back on the road!

Hi all, Been away for a while as my Land Cruiser has just been sat there on the drive doing nothing. A ride height sensor failed in November and I lost all care for the car to be bothered fixing it. Plus money was/still is tight. So I’ve had the ride height sensor fixed, and the burst air bag...

I noticed about a fortnight ago that the passenger side was on the wonk. Wheel was pulling to the right, looked at the rear and the left rear was down, the drivers side was all the way up. I didn’t drive it for a week as I had the option of another car. About 4 days after parking it up, I...

I was thinking yesterday that my son has seen 4 Prime Ministers, 4 Chancellors, 1 Queen, 1 King, and a lettuce, in his life time. He's 10 months old.
