Love the colour! I think it's a VZJ95, technically a VZJ95L-GKMNKW Last ones were made in August 2002, so maybe the 2003 reg is confusing the insurance computers, especially as it was also never for the UK?

Anyone worried? I asked Toyota UK if there were any "fixes" for the 150, I know Lexus are installing metal plates to make access to the usual connectors harder. Their response is, "We are currently working on a security update for affected models and would recommend registering your vehicle as...

So you're saying Ursula von der Leyen is personally connecting to my laptop and messing up my cookies?

Those are the compensation codes you need to upload to the ECU.

toyodiy lists the injectors for that VIN as being part number 23670-39135 which is the PFJones one you were looking at

Those ball joints have to be torqued pretty high onto the hub carrier. On after market joints (and you can’t buy Toyota balls, just the whole arm) I’ve often ended with the castle nut on the limit of where the hole is for the pin. Personally I doubt that did for the drop link. The OEM links...

I reused mine so was handling them very gently, but they seem pretty thin. I would think a decent pair of snips would go through them.

Do you know what the manual shows? I lost my copy on an old laptop and haven't done anything gnarly enough lately to need to get it back.

Toyota don't give a replacemet interval. I suspect it is driving and fuel quality related. If you look at this post the 5th picture is live data from Techstream. You mostly are looking for the 4 Injection Feedback readings, and when the car is warm they want to be within +/- 3, some advice is a...

I've always asked if thats their best price, whatever discount may get applied first. Sometimes gets more discount, sometimes not. But they never put the price up, so....

I use my Jimny far more than my LC. Better offroad because its wet where I live and Jimnys don't sink (or slew) as easily. Better in town because there are twice as many places to park, and on the lanes I don't have to wait for LC width gaps to open up with oncoming trafic. LC is for towing and...

Yep. Inside chassis and sills with Dinitrol cavity wax. Didnt do the doors on the basis my 19 year old 120 is well dissolved everywhere, but untreated doors are spotless.

If I was planning on selling it I wouldn't have bothered :-) Its been sprayed every 6 months. Time will tell!

The 150 is up to 2023, when we get the new one it'll be a 250. In the UK we got the new 1GD-FTV engine (2755cc) to replace the 1KD-FTV (2982cc) around mid 2017, although that engine was around elsewhere since 2015. The Hi-Lux 2393cc engine is a 2GD-FTV, which is just a smaller version of the...

You can get the lenses in Ireland for €37. North South 4x4 Spares - NS4x4 - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] I think they might be copies, but a lot cheaper. Originals from Amayama are about €65 with delivery. Not sure how observant Irish customs are. British customs seem to have stopped looking at...
