On topic....apparently caused by one of the 25 EVs onboard. Ameland rescue: Ship with 3,000 cars in deadly fire off Dutch coast - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

If I was going to Northumberland, I certainly wouldn't start from Jersey - does your 120 have a snorkel? ;) Joking aside, hope you have a great trip - I'm starting to miss my 90 now, been 2 months now and I think I'm getting withdrawal symptoms. :oops:

Can't remember where (probably YT) but I saw a demo of a fire "blanket" designed for BEVs and it was basically a fireproof car cover, which encased the whole car. However even after the blanket had been on the BEV for several hours, as soon as you took it off the fire started again.

Not enough kickbacks, probably.

or realised how much it cost!

There are rumours that the LR driver had a "medical incident" - better to wait and see.

You're making good progress on those jobs - please keep the updates (and pics) coming! :thumbup:

I wouldn't bother TBH, the goalposts will keep moving as said above. You'll be at the mercy of the whims of the policy makers. (Aren't we all!)

Well, that's a start :icon-wink: I've sent you a msg. :thumbup:

No, unfortunately not - I believe there is a a leak in the system, as the last time it was regassed (probably around 5 years ago), it only blew cold for about a week. (and now added to advert, thanks) Thank you - TBH, it'll probably pass the MoT without a murmur. Last time only advisory was...

Now SOLD - thanks to the buyer and this forum. :clap: The time has come and my 90 needs to find a new home, I’ve owned it since 2004; High Level Summary 1997 December registered, “R” reg UK model Toyota Landcruiser Colorado VX, 5 door (VZJ95 model designation) Green (body) over Grey (wheel...

Some amazing pictures - in every sense. :thumbup: :icon-cool:

Nice! - I bet not many people drive a V10 work van? :icon-cool: :thumbup:

Fair enough, I'm browsing on my phone and looked pristine at that size and resolution.

Underside of the Maroon 100 looks pristine - would never think it was nearly 25 years old. However, £18k+ does seem like a lot but when you look around and see some of the second hand car prices, doesn't seem that bad TBH. At least it's a Cruiser.

I think there is an age threshold on ULEZ, similar to road tax etc.

If I was in the market, I might be tempted to look at the (South) Korean offerings from Hyundai or Kia - even if you bought a used 3 year old vehicle, you'll still have the remainder of 7 years/100k miles warranty left - which should cover most eventualities. When the warranty is about to...

That MG looks alright - think they've copied the Mazda CX-5 (which, if you're going to copy a compact SUV design, not a bad place to start.) I recall the MGs get fairly good reviews and offer fairly good VFM for a EV but still a bit too rich for my budget.

The cold, damp weather does cause excess condensation but in your case, it does seem genuinely excessive. I'd check the seals around the windscreen - have heard quite a few situations where a windscreen was replaced and subsequently started "leaking" with nothing obvious, other than symptoms...

Not sure whether anyone's mentioned it.....but.....Roughtrax are pretty good :thumbup:

The whole ULEZ expansion was always going to be a bitter pill - the majority of residents were against it and with recent economic belt-tightening, will be even harder to swallow. I personally wouldn't be surprised if it's kicked into the long grass for a couple of years. The main problem is...

Without wishing to divert this thread - isn't this what we voted for? To be treated like everyone else that's from outside the EU? If we wanted to be treated like we were inside the EU, well perhaps that's what we should have voted for? #INeverThoughtLeopardsWouldEatMyFace

It certainly is a money making exercise first and foremost IMHO - however ULEZ has reduced pollution in (Central) London and the clean air improvement stats do hold up to scrutiny. London Air Quality Network :: Welcome to the London Air Quality Network » Statistics Maps - [Leaving Land Cruiser...

Nice to see the 90 back out and about. The 3.4V6 is a fairly refined ride, considering the truck's all-round abilities. :thumbup: Filling up, no matter what the fuel, is painful these days - even though I barely use my 90 these days, I did fill up with LPG and a few litres of petrol the other...

That's probably better than your petrol 90. :icon-wink:

Have you tried the main online sellers - Blackcircles, Oponeo, TyreLeader etc. ? Plenty of choice by the looks of it, everything from 100% on-road, to full-on mud pluggers. Strangely though, Camskills don't list any tyres in 265/70R16, which is odd.

The 5VZ-FE is a very robust and reliable engine - look after it and it will look after you. :thumbup:

The current financial situation, fuel prices, emissions legislation and charging (i.e. ULEZ etc) are all slowly whittling away at demand for what are, let's be honest, old fashioned, thirsty and now getting fairly expensive to maintain at their age, trucks. For the vast majority of people, a...

Has the radiator been changed*? A good opportunity to replace it, if it's the original rad. *As it's the 3.4v6, I assume it's also an auto.

Me too, though mine was an Ironman kit. Looking back, probably one of the worse decisions I made and ruining the cruiser's NVH ratings. Looks fook'in awesome though, especially with 80 wheels and 265/75s. :sunglasses:

Pedders seem to have a good rep - IIRC they do both a standard and a heavier duty version with springs and shocks matched accordingly. Also worth trying Milners Offroad or Roughtrax - as they're bound to have a variety of options available.

Same gearbox I think? - just some people call it "4-speed" and others "3 speed + OD" I believe?

You're not breaking it are you? (or was SteveJBs comment Tic?) I need another Cruiser like a hole in the head - thinking about getting rid of the 90 as it is but I've always fancied a hundy and it might be time to scratch that ich!

I requested to join it on Monday when the OP posted the link - not had any response. Shame, as I wouldn't have minded having a butchers.

What's the intended use? Do you use it as simply as a car replacement i.e. could you replace it with a "normal" car and still do what you need to do? Or do you have a specific use case that needs a large 4x4? If it's the former, then the G400d would take my vote. If the latter, the '76 would...

The link is to a private group - so many won't be able to see it. Might be an idea to post a screen grab or similar, so that people can decide whether to join the group and investigate further. :thumbup:

Wow - that's one of the coolest looking Land Cruisers I've seen in a long time! :icon-cool: :thumbup:

Obviously a faulty speedo as the revs are barely above tickover :) (wink wink)

Wow, that looks more like 3 years old, than 30. :sunglasses:

A lovely pair! :thumbup: :icon-cool:

As said above much nicer not having it glaring at you when driving at night. The D light seems to the most common one to blow because I assume it's the bulb with most usage. Replacing with LEDs should help.

Not always intuitive but "New tyres on the back" - that's what most, if not all, tyre manufacturers advise for that exact reason; lower grip at the rear causes oversteer, which is much harder to control for the average driver. Whereas lower grip at the front causes understeer, which can be...

EBay ad says it's petrol - is that right? I think AM is looking for a diesel.

Drag a plough behind you? (Sorry not very helpful I know!)
