I looked into getting one of these for my 1HZ - It seems you can't buy the altitude compensator separately and retro fit it, you need to buy a whole new fuel pump assembly (although I may be wrong) I know your struggles @Bmonck . Honestly I would say the best thing to do, especially because...

Yeah, in hindsight I wish I had used the stickers on the front. The rear plate failed the MOT a few years ago so I brought a pair of EU compliant plates, and with the back one already on I figured I 'just' put the front one. The whole thing has been a bloody farce.

We're off to Spain and France this summer so I thought I would finally get around to changing the front numberplate to an EU compliant one. I'm currently 4 hours in and still going.......

One thing to note with winches is to routinely check they still work - especially if you are installing a cheaper one that isn't IP rated. You don't want to find out it doesn't work when you are in a recovery situation. +1 for synthetic. Well worth the cost.

Awesome, thanks @Grimbo That sound like a plan. I'll get on it in the next few days and report back. I managed to get a digital copy of the FSM for the 105 ages ago, so I'll have a look in there

Thanks @Grimbo Yep it was what I was measuring. So..... if there is high resistance in the loom any thoughts on where I start looking?? I'll dig out the user manual and look for any relay locations, but is there anything else that could be faulty and replaceable??

Hi all, The intermittent wiper has never worked on the Landcruiser (since we got it anyway), and now that the lo and high are starting to get a bit sluggish I thought I would replace the wiper motor. However Ayamama just quoted me £300 - £200 for the part and £100 delivery. So before I order it...

Also worth noting that there are a number of products on the market that you can use to connect and control your battery inputs and outputs. Victron do a large range of such products but there are many others. They will have inputs for solar/ alternator and outputs for your inverter/ 12v...

What year is your 105? A similar thing happened to my 105 - after months of investigations, and me pretty much pulling the whole car apart looking for blown fuses/ solenoids/ relays I managed to speak to someone at Toyota who said that there is a know fault in the original dash, which was...

If its a diesel then one good driving habit is to rag the shit out of it from time to time to clear everything out, or maybe this is an old wives tale from my childhood...... :p

Can we get some photos please Vaughn? Love a 105

flippin' hek Bob that's an impressive workshop!

Hi Zak, Welcome to the Forum! Enjoy the 120.

From recollection it is indeed just under the oil filter, but my truck is having a Dynatol treatment done so I can't check until it comes back, but I can take some photos once it is back if you need them.
