Yes mate it's electro plating with a gold passivate in. It's been on my LR for a couple of years now and it's slightly lost the gold but no corrosion but it is no where near as good as galvanising. As for cost I get it done with work stuff so very very :eusa-shhh: cheap :dance:.

I won't Dave :wtf: :icon-biggrin: . It was the only picture I had of it.

I think i will be making a winch bumper Clive As what i don't know yet. This is one i made for my Defender.

Cheers Clive . That was my thinking i just thought i'd ask first. As for a winch yes at some point when the bank balance is a bit higher. It's a shame as i have a Warn 9.5 CTI in the garage but i wanted one to fit so you can't see it.

Right i managed to spend a few hours on her today so i put the suspension on,took the bull bar off and a few other little jobs. As she went in As she came out. And can anybody tell me if i need these spacers in the recovery point as i don't know if they were just there to get...

Yep all sorted now. Great work on the fabrication of the wiper parts,I had thought about making my own but just didn't have time as there is a few other jobs need to be done on her yet.

Thank you matey. I've managed to sort it now only had to take the motor arm off five times :icon-biggrin:.

Yes it does ease the pain a bit. Any ways on and set up now so happy.

I know mate I did ring them first but they where not very helpful and it wasn't in stock or so the lady said.

New wiper linkage on quite easy really just need to set them up as they are wiping down on to the scuttle panel but resting 4" up the windscreen.

I know mate but i only saw it last night and my back is against the wall as i need to get it sorted as my other car is going. Oh and it was just over £200:crazy::shock:

Well i bit the bullet and got my arse spanked and ordered one from Mr T. As for repair there was not much of the cast aluminium left to repair it had worn that much away.

Thanks mate it is the front and i will be giving Karl a ring tomorrow.

I am after a part number for the wiper linkage on my 93 LC. I don't know if it comes as a complete linkage or you can just buy parts of it. Mine has broken the N/S aluminium casting that the spindle goes through so the wiper is all over the place. Better still if anybody has a second hand one...

It's definitely coming off don't worry I've seen first hand what extra damage they can cause. As for corrosion not a problem as it's made from stainless steel. Apparently they were a very expensive option from Toyota.

The bull bar will be going don't worry,in time I will be making my own Arb style bumpers for it just need to get it 100%ship shape before starting any modifications.

Ok matey , don't suppose you have any part numbers. Cheers Andy

Doesn't really help but at least you know which way it's going to go, I have a Defender as well and that's just like opening a luck bag you just never know what you're going to get.

If more are available I would take a set. Cheers Andy

When I get it home it will be getting all the fluids and filters changed then I will start investigating the problems.

Thanks again for the advice. What do you guys think about the aftermarket parts available for LC, I own a defender as well and most of the aftermarket parts available for them are crap (not that genuine are much better). I have been looking at milners for parts like the cv joint hub seals and...

Very true. No I just have the one, I had given up looking for a diesel one as I just couldn't find the right one for me so I started looking at the petrol ones then this one popped up so I went and looked and bought it.

As soon as I get it home I'll get some pics up. As for the price after looking and trying to buy one for a month or so I thought I did ok yes it has a few more issues than I would have liked but the lack of rust was a big seller to me. I paid £3400 for it and I have looked at a lot worse cars...

Cheers Karl i will. i'll be hard at it at the weekend doing jobs on it just can't wait till thursday to collect it now.

Look very posh, i don't think i'd be letting my wife out in mine if i had them on.:icon-biggrin:

Thank's guy's. As far as i know the guy tried the window switch on another LC and it worked on that so either broken wire or motor i think. I have been looking at the CDL switches they seem to be plentiful in the US but a bit rare and a lot more expensive over here. Lucky for me i'm going in a...

I couldn't find anything in the paperwork for the bearings so i will be ordering some but the timing belt was done on the last service. Towpack i know what youre saying i was giving up hope of getting one in this colour.

Not up on my 12v 24v yet but it is auto and it's a 1993. It is clean and virtually rust free underneath, tailgate is excellent as well, interior is about average from the one's i've looked at, it has 190k on the clock with full toyota service which i checked up to 182k. It just has a few...

Thanks Karl. There will be lots of work been done so plenty of pics will be taken.

Right just paid my deposit on a 1993 diesel LC. It does however have a few issue's most of which should be easy to sort out if a little expensive :wtf:. 1 O/S front window doesn't work, hopefully just the motor on the regulator as you can't hear anything in the door. 2 Axle diff locks don't...

Thanks for the help guy's but i have just put a deposit down on a diesel one i found local to me after all that. Cheers Andy.

Thanks guys. What have you done in the tweaking department Gary,all I can seem to find is diesel tuning. Andy

Thanks for that Dom that is the sort of answer I was hoping for. Running costs are not as important as the condition of the car. I already own a Defender 90 so I'm not looking for another project car just yet:icon-biggrin:. I have found one not to far from me looks mint but does have 187 k on...

I am trying to buy an 80 series but having no luck, so far I have won two on eBay but both the people selling them have already sold them just not removed them from eBay :angry-screaming:. So my question is what are the petrol ones like I am sure I'm not the first to ask but I have tried the...

Just popping in to say hi. I'm from Huddersfield and am currently trying to buy an 80 series Land Cruiser. Andy
