I replaced both the low and high beam standard bulbs with the HIR bulbs. The increase wasn't dramatic but definitely noticeable and quite welcome, it's a cheap and worthwhile upgrade in my opinion.

My Japanese 2004 LC100 4.7 v8 is the same - Rear LSD, Centre Diff Lock (CDL), no rear difflock. I was reading up a bit on it today by coincidence. Mine has the A750F 5-speed gearbox and the centre-diff in it is of a Torsen type, apparently. From what I understand the front is not LSD.

Sorry, what does "lumpy idling" mean?

Just to report back... in the end I bought another of the same model. Turns out the first one was just "dead" somehow. This way I didn't have to drill new holes, I have it mounted just above the rear plate. Camera is now working fine - have nothing to compare to so can't comment on quality vs...

My 2004 100-series VX (Japanese version) 4.7 petrol idles at 600 when in Drive and brake on. A little higher in Park. I never worked that one out. Disconnecting the battery for a while then reconnecting has solved any idling issues for me in the past, allowing the engine to "reset" itself. But I...

Thanks for the reply Chris. Do you by chance have an idea how much such a switch would cost and where I'd get it from in the UK? Is it feasible to do this with a portable compressor or would there be wires trailing around? If I did install such a switch would that enable me to "set" a certain...

Hi, So I bought a cheap chinese-made compressor. It's a dual-cylinder type and the specs are quite good (150lpm). I don't expect it to last forever but it's quiet and fast and I'm fairly happy with it. http://www.alhariri-dxb.net/uploadedFiles/1319527867046-3995.jpg However I didn't like the...
