Good point, mine are 265, so not quite wide enough

I've been thinking about getting these ramps https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2x-Hydraulic-Car-Ramps-Lift-2-Ton-Lifting-Jack-Heavy-Duty-Garage-Lift-Vehicle-UK-/165151655564?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&_trksid=p2349624.m46890.l49286&mkrid=710-127635-2958-0 Not sure though

All valid points Steve and why I don't subscribe to the notion that EVs are the silver bullet. I think they are actually worse for the environment for the points you make. I'm no eco worrier and for me is purely a personal financial decision. A point made in another thread is that we need...

@Higgy isn't that how cars and fuel infrastructure evolved? Cars must have driven the buildout of petrol station as the demand was there. If you don't do many miles, or just local driving, then it's not so bad as you just keep it charged up daily, so you always have enough range. Just a...

I've not been brave enough to leave it at a airport as I don't want the hassle of a flat car 11pm at night after a long flight. Having said that during COVID it sat on the drive fully charger and lost about 10% to 15% a week, so not too bad. To get the best battery life recommendation is to...

Agree with you Stu, I don't think I would buy my own Tesla back at the end of the lease. The battery life will degrade, how bad that will be I don't know. As it's a company car, I don't care, I'll just give it back and get another when 4 years old. I think anytime soon, prob within the next 2...

They quote their manufacturers ranges and defo downplay the range issues. It's very easy to get caught up in the glamour and tech in the Tesla's when in the showrooms, so easily to get distracted. When I got mine there was no other choice that got close to the range so it was a no brainer, but...

Lol, stated range is as bad as the stated mpg numbers for ICE. Mine is claimed to be 320 miles, I can just about get 170 miles and it's even worse in winter. Ok, I do have a heavy foot and typically cruise at 78mph, which doesn't help. Fortunately I do benefit for the Tesla super charging...

Not sure on replacement batteries, but is this any different to the current throw away society that change cars every 3 years? Disposal and actually fire risk is a big problem. Home charging is a issue for many with no off street parking, fortunately I have that luxury. Employers are providing...

Yes defo saves me a lot. Although it's a company car, its over my allowance so I have a monthly payment, but even with that, I'm still better off just on the fuel costs. I do think for shorter journeys EV does make a lot of sense, for longer journeys where I have to stop and charge for...

I've owned a EV for 2 years now, and will typically do 150miles a day (outside of COVID). Costs is about £40pw to charge the thing every night for 5 days. Doing that in my 120 for the week that is 2.5 refills so around £200pw. Add in VED servicing etc, I'm even better off. I have done 22k...

I'm sure one if the 80 crew will be along and comment on it shortly. 80's are very well regarded, but they are getting along in years now so there will always be something that needs doing. I've not driven one so can't comment on what it will be like on a long drive, but again with 80's...

Personally I think it's a bit pricey for a 2003 LC5, but as per Karl, I think condition underneath is the most important thing to check. It is also the older box, but being 2003 has lower tax.

Just checked and Chas has not been on here since Oct 21, any idea if he is ok?

I wonder where they got 4 year's supply of 80's from.

The next one who says 80>120 gets banned

Ahhh don't, I am saving that for a bing watch when they have all been released..

Whilst this is an exciting "debate" I remind you all to stick to the forum principals. Any further discriminatory, racist etc comments I'll ban the individual and lock the thread. I have better things to do with my time

I think you normally need to host them elsewhere (YouTube) and post a link to them from here.

Spot on Highly. I've watched the hour catch-up on Eurosport and it's poor. Wish we had more of the actual racing and of the classics.

Welcome back Dave, wondered what happened to you. Glad to hear you are on the mend, hopefully you make a full recovery

Welcome Jozsef, nice looking 80 and with the relatively rare rear barn doors. What's the plan for it?

Yeah meant Juddian.

@Tractionman no issues linking from here. The other site had issues linking to this site, but that's his issue

@Crispin

I replaced mine with ones from Toyota which were reasonably priced. I would prob go with Varta should I need to do so again. Sorry don't have part numbers

I don't have the details anymore as I fitted my towbar long ago, but I did manage to find a Toyota OEM loom off eBay. This connected to either side underneath the rear with the relay housed behind where the jack is kept. Bumper off job to fit it.

Ah yes, I missed a part number as there are 3 different types: 75392-60031

Looks like there are two types of body clips, 75397-35010 75495-35010 I'd search on eBay for these

"Fortress" staring Bruce Willis.... What a pile of crap that was. "The Unforgivable" with Sandra Bullock and a few others. Much better film

Also if you have not seen this thread, put a post in there with your details and get the full workshop manual from Simon https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/120-workshop-manual-factory-service-manual.150406/

I just can't get past the CAPS he uses to read any of the rest of the add, or any of his other ones.

Merry Christmas all. Have a wonderful day

I've never got better than 23mpg, even when new. Perhaps it's my heavy right foot

Take a look at this thread, lots of useful info. Make sure you get the correct one for you 120, there are two versions... https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/suction-control-valve-removal.154571/

I'm intrigued with the height difference. Yours is a LC4 I believe, so that could be a LC5 on AHC which may be in the lowest level?

Did they service the brakes? If it's not coasting as before could the brakes be binding? Should be easy enough to check, jack up each wheel and see if it spins freely

Don't know. I soon realised not to rely on the App or phone when I could not unlock it at a supercharger.... Spent about 30mins restarting phone etc .. I know always carry the card and an neurotic about leaving either the phone or wallet in the car, as I'm sure it will lock me out after closing...

The Tesla app is in addition to the plastic key card. I wouldn't solely trust a app and as such I always have the card in my wallet. Having said that never needed to use it yet

Did a lot of the WAW by motorbike this year. So stunning bits between Cork and Tralee. Defo worth doing that

Whatever platform you go to is pointless if only you are on it. I started using Signal but only three of us on there, everyone else still on whatsapp.... Guess what I'm on whatsapp

Pleiades was highly recommend by a previous forum member who used them to replace the spheres on his 100. Can't recall who it was but was a few years ago now

Yeah rode one once.... Lol

Oooo best bike.... Prob my ZX9R... 100k miles on it when I sold it.

I've had my Blackbird for 13 years and have never gone fast on it, honest guv

Someone with a bigger brain than me will have to comment on this. IMO as long as you don't make yourself liable, and it's factual then fill your boots

SCV = Suction Control Valve.

Agree with Karl. I would seek to have those corrected to the new injectors. Also worth checking the SCV

Took me 2years to sort mine out... Got so good at it I could restart the 120 without stopping ....
