    You don't always need a Landcruiser to get to West Africa ;)

    Really glad you're okay. Wonderful finish to the story!

    Introduction

    Hi PJ, welcome to the forum! Rust is the biggest enemy of the 100 (like any Cruiser), and fuel bills the next biggest. Otherwise, they're really superb vehicles. Inspect the underside carefully for rust on any you consider buying. Unfortunately the worst spots are hard to get to – the sills...

    Heavy / Lumpy Steering – Solved.

    Hi all, just wanted to post this for future reference incase others have this issue. My 100 Series has had slightly vague steering for a couple years, and then recently it started to become really heavy / lumpy. As you turned the steering wheel, the power steering seemed to pulse on and off. At...

    Heavy Steering

    Hi @scooby, Sorry, I don't know about PAS details on the 120. I'd suggest starting a new thread in the "120 Series" forum. Cheers.

    Heavy Steering

    Hello @scooby, wow, that's a low-mileage LC4. I'm sure someone more knowledgeable will be able to help, but it is a bit of a different issue, especially being on a 120-Series. The 120 has permanent four wheel drive, so it would be worth checking that your central and rear diffs aren't locked...

    Heavy Steering

    Brief update... I've not been able to address the PAS issue yet, but the steering has gone back to normal, so it's some sort of intermittent issue. I think the first thing I'll do is flush the PAS fluid, and maybe add some Liqui Molly Stop-leak (is this a good idea?), then see if the problem...

    Heavy Steering

    Thanks Shayne and Bob. Ball joints are definitely on the imminent to-do list, but they're not badly worn yet, just slight play. As you say, they could contribute to strain on the PAS pump, which I think looks to be the primary suspect at this point.

    Heavy Steering

    Thanks Shayne. What does this do? I'll go take a look and try it.

    Heavy Steering

    Hello All, Just wondering if anyone has any pointers for a recent development on my 100. Yesterday the steering went quite heavy / lumpy. As you turn the steering wheel, the power steering seems to pulse slightly. If you turn, then let go of the wheel, the power steering only partially...
