In the fall of 2015, the model received another revision, new assistance systems and minor technical changes. However, the V8 diesel does not meet the Euro 6 emissions standard that has been mandatory since September 1, 2015 , which is why sales of the J20 on EU markets and Switzerland were...

Mine is 2014 and its euro 5. I did a quick search and it appears that 200s are all euro5.

This can be good topic for one of our camp fire nights as its a long one and I am still testing these concepts on myself. :)

I got NX a few times as a loan car when I gave mine for service. I felt its good to drive especially in sport mode. It should last as long as a Landcruiser would. Lexus gives hybrid battery warranty for 15 years so these cars are good for atleast 15 years.

Thank you Clive for the invite. I don't plan things in advance, I might plan something up suddenly and visit you with 3 days or a week's notice. :) Sitting and driving for a day in Landcruiser felt ok. It was only speed driving that exhausted me otherwise it was a good drive. As a bonus, I have...

Landcruiser is too big for German cities. I went to one multi-storey park and ride spot in Munich. It was so tight, I couldn't park comfortably in any bays. Just came out and parked at Lidl's open parking bays. I didn't get a good feeling about Munich due to that parking issue and my friend got...

ha ha yes I can see that. yes you are right. The majority of the cars doing more speed than me were Beemers. agree 80 to 90mph is more than enough on long drives.

Check above thread. The whole thread is dedicated to AHC on 200 series.

Went to meet a friend in Innsbruck, Austria. He was there to attend a workshop and asked if I am nearby and can meet so I decided to drive there. Partly inspired by all the travel stories I heard during our camping meets and to test myself and my machine I took up this trip. The inbuilt satnav...

It was just casual comment. Don’t worry about me. I just recovered from driving hangover and saw this message and thought one day was quick to fill up for group of 10 so Wales must be very popular adventure

Wow that was quick. Today morning returned from Austria trip and saw this thread.

This looks good price-wise as well but I might not get it before I leave. I should order one and keep for next time.

Thank you very much. My bad I won’t be able to pick up chains from Norfolk. This trip was a spontaneous one and I am leaving on Wednesday afternoon and I am working till last minute. Hire is good idea and might work or worst case I ll buy one in Alps. This will be my first drive in Europe...

Dear All, Sorry didn't have time to check here. Thank you all for your replies. Thank you. My truck is empty and doesn't. go over 3.5 ton and I have good AT tires so I will drive directly and if they stop I will ask them to suggest someplace to hire them and sort it out on the spot. 285/50/20

Dear All, I planned to go to Austria to meet a friend next week. It seems snow chains are mandatory so I looked at one website to buy them. On the website I got below message after entering Landcruiser details and the available options that came up are quite expensive. Is it true that these...

Also check ihmud site. In 200 section there is lot on AHC bleeding as Lexus LX570 in US has the same AHC system we have on our cars.

I read somewhere that if those globes are starting to worn out, they will create more air bubbles. I will bleed AHC again this summer just to see how the fluid is after about 1 year. Somewhere else I also read that its best practice to bleed this every year but not sure about that as there are...

I was able to do it so I think it's a doable job for most without professional help if its just plain bleeding or flush without any other complications. Just now I attached two pdfs I used to do this on another thread. 'AHC bleeding 5th Valve'. Not sure if its the same for your car but you can check

I used these two as SOPs and did some extra as I felt appropriate while under the car.

I always entered license number while filling up insurance details for getting quotes. Thought this might give a better quote. With Admiral too I did the same but they never asked to send details not was it compulsory to enter license details while filling up details to get quotes. After a few...

https://www.ravenol-direct.uk/ravenol-ahc-active-height-control-fluid-1-litre.html These are selling 1L but don't know if its ok to use any other makes or if anyone used thisbrand. RAVENOL AHC Active Height Control Fluid is suitable for use in the following vehicles: Toyota Land Cruiser 100...

Hi Brett. There was a slight difference in the ride. I didn't even notice if the ride was bumpy. In one of the club meets Jon tested the car and told me it feels a bit bumpy and needed air bleeding so I did it. There was a lot of air trapped. I could see a lot of foamy fluid coming out from each...

I guess he is some celebrity like the top gear guys and good to see someone from the media giving an unbiased review of Landcruiser.

Finally got the power steering and brake fluids also replaced. At last, I completed my target of changing every single fluid in the car. I will change them all again in 3-4 years' time. Some fluids like Diff fluid, PS, and brake fluids were good but for my peace of mind and record, I just...

Well its a mystery for me too. Car is on level surface on straight part of my driveway. Could be this or could be that excess oil filled by the previous garage is forcing itself out somehow. Initially, I was over-obsessed with perfection but now I am a bit relaxed. Until now I changed engine...

Mine was showing an engine oil and filter change warning so this Saturday went to Toyota and got all the service parts, brake fluid, and power steering fluid. Planned to do a lot as I was alone at home all weekend. Drained engine oil and changed filter. When I took out the oil, by mistake Toyota...

Same I too went through Dall-E and created openAI account. It was working fine even when others could not get access. The only change I did was turning on my VPN after my last use. This VPN could ve done something. Forgot to mention. I was searching for info on Kulma pass (China-Tajik crossing)...

Yesterday I too asked some questions about LandCruiser. The way it gave answers was as if one of us prepared an answer by reading all the info from various forums. Then I asked where do you get these answers from. It said from the internet. Then I asked don't you have copyright issues. To this...

Lexus RX or NX will last. Try once

it's not fun to keep it at 60 or 70 mph and below that is even worse. 80mph and above is its sweet spot and looks like this is good for the engine as well. Initially, when I got this beast I always tried to keep it at 60 but now since I got used to its size, 80 became the new norm :) Good that...

The factory rims are for 285/50 so can we mount a 275 profile tyre or did you get new rims as well? when I checked last time few 200s in US are using 285/55/20 BFGs without any rubbing or mods

Not sure when exactly these came into car but mine is 2014 model and it has DPF regen button under the steering. Its not after market, it looks like factory fitted.

I am using the original key fob but carry a big signal blocking pouch to keep this key fob and steering guard keys. Its a pain to carry that pouch as it doesn't fit in trousers/Jeans' pockets. So far I always been to safe places (mostly club meets) and mostly I left car unlocked or this pouch in...

If its the same Craddock who did oil changes on my car, I won't go there. Each time I look at the oil leaks from their oil changes I think I should not have gone there. :)

Got MOT. Failed for silly reason but they passed it again immediately. Unfortunately it came up in the record and spoiled track record of the car. This warning was there for long time and its for spare tyre so ignored it. I didnt expect they ll fail for that reason as the tyre pressure for all 5...

yes, agree. My current ones were delivered to my address and lifting them into boot for fitting was a big task. Can't imagine lifting a fully inflated fitted tire/wheel. I asked garages when I went for wheel alignment but none of them rotated the wheels. One famous garage even said it's a waste...

+1 i too became a regular there

I too looked at them and from what I read they will fit 20 inch rims without any rubbing or mods. Will wait and may be follow your choice.

I didn't get it. Both the cars did all the obstacles. One thing I could get from it is the lack of rear diff lockers on 200. Without this locker too both tackled all the obstacles so why we need it. I checked and many have had them as aftermarket mod. Surfy's 200 from this forum is one such...

Found the below site with the fuse box diagram for 200. I am not able to understand which one might relate to this system. Worth checking if its helpful https://fuse-box.info/toyota/toyota-land-cruiser-200-j200-v8-2008-2018-fuses

this seems to be a TNF52/12 ECU Update. I dont know anything about car mechanics but out of curiosity looked at this in google and there seems to be many prados that had staling, hesitation issues and this ECU update seemed to solve the issue.
