Gary, thanks for that, much appreciated. So you bought the headlight bulbs from woodypeck but all the others from autobulbsdirect? Shame about the satnav. I was hoping a later models one would fit, but I'll try to update the map dvd instead. Not really keen on adding an external sat nav if I...

Ok that was an interesting experience. Found the symbol on the end of the washer stalk, but it didn't do anything as far as I could see, so got the misses to come out and check as I couldnt see the headlights from my position pressing the stalk. Still nothing. Then tried with the lights switched...

Seriously? Mine is an LC5 but it's only 2006...anyway I'll go out and check now. Fingers crossed!

Ok, I've had my new to me 2006 LC5 120 for a few weeks now - after driving a people carrier around for a year - and there are quite a few subtle improvements over my last prado (1996). However there are some things I think it is lacking and some things I'd like to improve upon and would love...

Errr won't it damage them if I manually fold them in?

My mirrors don't automatically fold / unfold. I have to press a button adjacent to the mirror adjustment pad (up/down/left/right arrows). I wish they did fold / unfold automatically :D

Yeah, I updated my original post as I forgot to mention that the up/down & left/right adjustment is working and that the retractor motor *clicks* when I press the retractor button, so the wires/connections are good. What I suspect has happened is either the motor has a fault in it or that...

Ahhh ok! Hence the confusion. I had a Landcruiser Prado TZ in Cyprus and it was quite different to the landcruiser I have now. I assumed they were more different than just re-badging. So our car is known as a prado 120 grande? Will get the manual now and thanks for all the help :)

Clive, that will be a great help if I can't replace the innards of the one I have. My mirrors are body coloured though (1E9), so I would get the black ones with indicators and have them painted. My current ones don't have indicators on them. Presumably I would take a feed for the indicators from...

Thanks :D

Thanks. I feel at home already :D

Hi Tony, I've just looked again on Amazon and despite searching, nothing is coming up for 2006 120. The latest they seem to cater for is 1998 I checked again on the Haynes website too and they don't have anything for a land cruiser at all! I fired off an email to them to double check. Thanks...

Thank you Tony :)
