I like the wording but wondered, as it is for 40 through 70(some) series if it would suit the early Toyota symbol and therefore be a round sticker? Symbol below, Rodger

Bei Facebook anmelden - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] BJ40-FJ45-HJ47 LANDCRUISER GROUP AUSTRALIA The guy you need to message in that group is Ben Keen. The mechanic sounds like he's not the one for the job and who obviously likes unreliable vehicles because they earn more money for him. Keep...

Hello and welcome. From your description it sounds like the head gasket has a leak and is allowing water into one of the cylinders. Act before it gets worse and causes far more damage. Most parts for the 40 series are aftermarket although there are some still available from Toyota and recently...

How long is your wife's sabbatical or perhaps that question should be how long do you contemplate that the LC will be in Spain? Vehicles brought to Spain can run on their registered country's registration plate for 6months. They must have a valid road worthiness test certificate (UK -...

Sharing knowledge is what forums are about and I've learn some stuff as well. It has been interesting and educating for me to look at all the different 40/42s. I have enjoyed helping you find the 42 that's right for you. Rodger

Many thanks, Collin. The search goes on! Regards, Rodger

Hello Sven and welcome... Your HJ45 looks great. Thanks for including the photos. Regards, Rodger

As Ben says but the resistors are on top of the blower unit in the engine bay. It could be trapped wires between the plastic casing where it joins the heater unit but IMO more likely to be with the blower unit: is the drain hole blocked? does the blower motor run freely? Rodger

Your FJ40 looks amazing, a beautiful restoration. I would like to see more photos of it. Regarding the sound deadening, being a soft top we did not use any sound deadening but, having travelled in a hardtop 40 in the past, it is a necessary addition and it will enable you to hear the radio...
