They wouldn't be refugees, they'd be economic migrants. There's a massive difference: think jew leaving nazi germany in 1938 vs scaffolder going for a job in Saudi. http://www.ssi.org.au/faqs/refugee-faqs/148-what-is-the-difference-between-a-refugee-and-a-migrant

That is the least logical statement on EU membership I have heard! I don't know the benefits to being a member of the EU, but I'd like to find out before I vote out.

That is a superb arguement for "in"...I'm undecided, as I haven't studied the pro's and con's of EU membership. I fully intend to get informed, and make a considered, rational decision. My worry is that the nation's xenophobes and racists will vote us "out" without thinking of the repercussions.

Very nice. Local to me, and I think I recognise the reg!

Very cool car!

I'll start this off: Poulet Basquaise... It's a Basque chicken stew. I had this for the first time on a 4x4 trip, cooked by a genuine frenchman in a dutch oven on an open fire (the recipe below is done in the oven) but you can do it on a stovetop. It's become a regular meal in our house, and...

Cheers Lads, I'll give one a go! I'm maybe going to stick a couple of these in the rear bumper for decent reversing lights too: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/281878112463?_trksid=p2060353.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT

In my quest for an unnecessary amount of light on the front of my 120 I'm thinking of putting a 17" lightbar between my lighforce 170's. They come up at around £40 on ebay. anyone using something similair?

Great photo's!

12 mo on.....Another pass, no advisories:dance: My only spend this year was on new rear discs and pads, which have been dubious for the last couple mot's. It needs a waxoyl, but thtas a job for spring. I still love driving it. I can live with the mpg, especially over the last few days with...

Just cracked 130k on the 120. I fitted a set of at2's when I bought it at 70k, and they are still going strong! i rotate the wheels every couple years, and the wear is an even 6-8 mm on each tyre. could not be happier with a tyre!

Great photography! Thanks for posting!

I'd sell you my 53 silver lc4....if it wasn't such an excellent car. maybe in another 10 years...

Best Cruiser in the UK?

Thanks for sharing. Just used up the last lot I bought when they were on offer.

I've toyed with getting my 120 done too.

Just round the corner from me. I'm by no means a mechanic, but will do an initial inspection / test drive if anyone doesn't want a totally wasted journey.

They're superb, LC specialists and enthusiasts, great lads, and not too far from you in SH! They have a garage and a shop stocking all sorts. I use them for Mot's, and get them to look the lc over to pre empt any issues. 100% trustworthy.

If you're really stuck you could always run the car over to http://westcoastoffroad.co.uk/ near southport. They'll change all your fluids, and show you what everything does! Every other year I get them to drop the diff, gear and transfer box oils. I could do It myself, but you're 100% certain...

Result! Post a pic of the finished article if you can!

Where are You? I've got a set......

Many moons ago I traded my 54 plate D3 in for a lc120..... I had more problems in 4 mo. of disco ownership than 5 (6?) yrs of running the landcruiser.

I've used it too. Works very well, adheres indefinately (well, four years in a wet, high friction environment). Limited shelf life once opened though, so don't buy too much!

Nothing in any breakers? Douglass valley near you (and me) had a 120 recently. I've got cruise in my lc4, and would not be without it! I'd be surprised if this was much of a job, with modern cars a lot of the "gubbins" for ugraded options is in situ but blanked off / not enabled in the...

Shout! (for pictures)

I got a rapid response from the shop via email, $98 aud, which aint bad shipped! Anyone know a Uk supplier before I order?

As mentioned a while back, my dash cracked in the sun:http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/showthread.php/52564-Dash-cracked-in-sun! I've just been browsing the landcruiser porn on pradopoint, and came across dash mats. A bit of googling pulled this...

me too!

That's my plan! Is yours from the same seller?

No reliability issues? I'm tempted to get a small (12") one for a rear reverse / work light.

If my numbers come up saturday I'll make an offer. Best 70 series camper you'll find in the UK.

Landcruiser porn! beautiful!

You might want to look here: http://www.realoutdoorsforum.com/forum/index.php Great forum, set up recently by some like minded mates, limited moderation so some good banter alongside the information. We need members and content too!

Still, I've taken it in four times and it's passed:icon-biggrin: It's still on all the original bulbs (apart from the hids I fitted), and has only had advisories for the airbag light and worn rear pads in the past. In all seriousness, although I'd have liked it to pass, 11 years of passed...

My 120 had never failed an mot.... until today:cry: It's just hit 120k, and it's 11 years old, so it had to fail sometime.... The centre box of the exhaust had failed ( You couldn't tell ), but 11 years for an exhaust isn't bad, and the airbag warning light which has been on for the 5 years...

You get my pm?

I hope mine makes 456k!

Good call on the oztent ( I've had one years!) but got to agree on selling in spring. You'll get far more. I've bought campers / caravans in winter off ebay to sell in spring. Unless you're desperate I'd wait. Edit: I've just bid a ton on it. for your sake I hope I dont win:icon-biggrin:

Pretend it never happened! Got to be an electrical gremlin / sensor problem!

Better pic: Both sides same pattern, there's a little dot on the leans that acts as a datum.

Save your money: I copied the pattern of hella deflectors with gaffa tape zoom in, you'll see where to put it:

I use a couple of harris (or similair) extendable decorators poles as extra poles for the front awning (£6 ish) each, and use standard guys (£5 tops): a massive saving over oztent's offerings.

The fly sheet is designed for hot weather: it's silvered to reflect heat. A massive bonus (alongside the extra waterproofing and reduced condesation) is it keeps the tent nice and dark in the morning. We leave ours attatched too.

60 by gps, so 65 on the speedo, if that's any better:icon-biggrin:

I think you're a showoff!

28 +/- 2 on a tank, I do drive pretty sensibly ( 60 -65 mph on m-way). I get 460 -480 miles before the fuel light comes on.
