Ah if you are ever around for one of the club meets you are welcome to look at mine. I have the 50/50 up and over. I think @nick_the_fish has split barn doors(?). 1hd hundy = the 1hd based 100 series ( the normal one in the UK, with turbo and bigger gearbox, also usually auto ). What...

@HDJ79R totally. I can see towing with the 1hz engine is going to be a challenge. My solution is to not do that :)

It's a hard question to answer to be honest. I don't think it does, and I also have no problems in a convoy of 80s, just a bit slower off the block. With a family and dog onboard, with a week's worth of supply and a roof tent etc, it never felt lethargic to me. But yes, you need to give...

Mine was, yes

Sometimes, even the Shift is locked. On both sides.

Is that what's in the Grenadier ?

Wait wait... £45k for a job that will be the first time they have done it ? Is this your father in law's garage ?

@Springate’s enjoy the car!

Definitely not. Where was he thinking of going with that thing, in the UK??

Intravenous land cruiser. How's that for a thought.

It's a 150. The body, the interiors and the spec .

Fuse all ok?

Oh man, sad to read this. Condolences to the family.

Holy thread revival batman

These were denso refurb, they would not supply to me direct, which is how I ended up at a diesel specialist. Apparently they are only warrantied if fitted at a denso 'approved' place ( and they had some constraints around the coding as well ) I can get the details, but it will be other side of...

Fwiw, I went down to route of getting refurb + exchange of old set. £980 is what it cost me fully fitted, about 6 months ago.

I was just kidding.... He's ok other times too.. :)

@karl2000 is an ok type person too, sometimes.

Only some new cars even come with a spare

That makes two of us, always denso

I guess someone has actually identified the leak ? And not just guessing it's the gas pipe from front to back ?

They just seem to add it at the parts counter automatically. I prefe not to ask why :)

Simon has moved on, but the guys at the parts counter there are super helpful and do the 10% thing

I have airbags being an lc5, and they seem to be expected to last 250k miles. The front shocks, with the Toyota electric control seems to be going well at 80k+ miles ; so from a life perspective I would say the OE kit is fine With the lift, I am sure they will 'fit'. But no idea what the extra...

Did the 265/70r17 rub ? What suspension did you have to start with ? I am guessing not the air bags?

Note that the Lexus gx550 offroader is $64k it's hard to imagine that the land cruiser on the same platform will be more expensive.

Fairly sure they would be recon.

Oh man

Amazing!

You mention 3 years, but what is the original date of first sale on the vehicle? Is there a 1hz still being sold as new by Toyota somewhere!

@Gav missin I am still a maybe/highly likely.

Looks amazing

What about all the work Toyota and BMW are doing with hydrogen?

I think the battery risk carries over to anyone alive with a phone, a laptop and anyone who has a solar setup likely has the same battery size as a car ( or larger!). For now, I think the phev make the most sense. Full EVs are still in early days

Well, at £130k...

I think build quality of most(all?) new cars is about the same, they all fall in the range of 2 to 3 on a scale of 1 to 10.

Lc5 here, parking sensors were definitely a factory fit and still work fine. We have a garmin wireless camera thing as well, but the sensors all work fine.

So sorry to hear this. Condolences to the family

The reason why ev sound louder is down to there being no engine noise. In the lc you drown out a lot of the road noise. Try it with an actual sound meter. You may surprise yourself. The other thing is check the tyres, the EV have a slightly harder compound since the power delivery is much...

So if it's dust and debris you want to protect against, face back. And if it's water, face front ?

Well, Carlos Milla just won the Dakar classic in an 80, which has a snorkel facing backwards:)

I guess the battery cables ( specially the negative strap) have all been tested/not corroded too far

Its a maybe for me, I have a work thing that only gets over the Friday. Let me try and swing out of that. If I can, it will be me + little one + Goliath.

Is there a local Toyota dealership you can get to inspect the vehicle? Maybe ask the seller for the invoices and query them with the Toyota company directly?

What are you trying to achieve? If the vin number is on the legal paperwork, it's on the vehicle itself in the right place, it's on the Toyota decoder website... You could ask for the original invoice ( and the import docs) to really really make sure it's a good vin. Then you still need to...

Isn't this it ?
