Dyneema synthetic if you can get it! Depends on the winch but I think you can fit 30m of 11mm dyneema on a 9.5 winch.

There are alternative ways to doing this without cutting holes... MUD has an extensive thread about it. Apparently you can get a 22mm flex-head gear wrench in there fairly easily. Jon W has done a body lift which solves the issue completely so you may want to do a bit of research? If you...

And here I was happily considering a 2014 200 series only to discover its not KDSS-equipped but has AHC and hydraulics like my 100 (more or less) so I'm off to scratch my head about importing one that is KDSS from SA... but that means 30% to Jeremy £unt grrr... Very frustrating really.

Couldn't find the Coopers I wanted so went BFG A/T and they've been brilliant so far

All the very best, hoping 2024 is kinder to us than 2023 was...

Get well soon, and wishing you everything of the best.

Phew thank goodness mine was straight forward

I thought that suggested a poor earth or the plug in the back of the alternator loose or full of muck?? Worth checking?

Staun deflators here too

Turns out the rears on mine have been replaced before I got it, and they’ve been leaking from a poor joint, it also seems they’ve been replaced with the wrong size, so just make sure of pipe diameters if going this route. New Denso compressor and condenser fitted, new HP hose from Amayama...

Stunning, safe travels…

If UK based, the dealer can pull all the service history for you, showing what was done when etc. I did that prior to buying a 100 without managing to actually see it first.

Amayama, RoughTrax, Milner or yam6carparts. Also Autodoc if looking for Denso parts - good prices. Haven't had a response to the last 5 mails I've sent Simon...

That doesn't sound great. I was going to buy one off fkeabay, Jon Wcadvised against it and leant me his Dealey unit. All I can say is that it was absolutely amazing at getting iffy bolts off the rear quarter of the 100, including the little ones on bumper sides, diff lock actuator etc. On my...

if you can get your hands on a Sealey Induction heater, it just ... works. Quite amazing how effective it is at loosening obstinate nuts and bolts ...

Had those on an 80 series. Good tyres, on road and off-road on mixed terrain from beach to rocky. Can't seem to find them anymore though?

Been with NFU for ages, highly recommended

Who did you source the hoses from Philip?

Stunning trip, Reinhard, looks amazing

Hmm actually I think Crispin is the only Admin. Will pop him a text...

There are a few about, we probably could do with more. I’m not on much atm - family bereavement - but let me know how I can help….

Good result. I've since discovered they don't do for the euro-spec 1HD-FTE in a 100 series with variable vane tech. Well, they will - a custom unit somewhere north of AU$4500. Ouch...

Replaced rear diff lock actuator, all working now… replaced fuel filter too, replaced HP hose and A/C condenser, cold cruiser again yay. Next is radiator flush, replacing upper and lower hoses plus heater ‘T’s, then on to AHC fluid flush…

Local Toyota dealer are expecting their demo 250 series early December, I've got a tentative slot to drive it... not buying for sure, but will be interested to investigate.

Thought I’d start jotting down some notes, and probably scaring myself with spending tally lol. Started with a prett clean 2005 1HD-FTE 100 series, colour says silver, it’s more grey I think… Had 135k miles on it, south coast vehicle, fully standard with no tow-bar ever fitted so a fairly...

Is that a genuine wheel carrier on the back? Been considering doing that vs an aftermarket bumper

Thanks Andy, will do on both counts. Rust free would be eonderful but that's unlikely, so as long as its in an OK condition that would be great ...

Any chance you still have rear bumper support components left??

One of these that's not rusted to bits. 52309-60010. Happy to arrange courier.

Been with NFU for years, fantastic people to deal with

Just ordered mine, plus a few other bits…. Hope it’s a painless transaction again

i thought there was a physical key integrated into the fob (I have that on Toyota 'ordinary' cars - RAV4 and Yaris Cross) so you could in theory not use the elctronic fob and use the manual key? I guess the user manual may explain the how-to bits?

Thanks. Spotted their page earlier today so will have a call with them

Very tidy indeed

Looking for advice / leads please. Aircon needs attention (again) - HP hose is fubar and it needs a new condenser, current one has a hole where none should be. I can sort those easily enough... The challenge is the compressor. When it engages there's a lovely 'grrrr' sound which leads me to...

Hmmm I was about to order one and some bits.... maybe I'll look for another solution...

Came to the same conclusion on the actuator, plus a couple of other small 'bits'. Hope you get the old one off without too much trauma

Looking very smart - now to head off somewhere exotic!
