I've rung a couple of dealers, and toyota uk, and unsurprisingly been knobbed off! TBH I am dissapointed in toyota: I'd expect this on a lesser 4x4, but not on a LC. I've priced smart dash repair, but ended up getting an insulin syringe and injectin superglue into the split, and filling with...

After god knows how much procrastinating I've finally fitted a K&N panel filter to the 120! I spotted on FB that West Cost Offroad stocked them, spoke to Paul about getting one for a 120, then picked one up on Friday. At £45 ish it'll have paid for itself in a couple years, plus it makes a nice...

Cheers!

:icon-cry: Came to my car today after a couple days of cycling to work to find the dash has cracked! There's a fine crack in the vinyl on the edge of the dash above the instruments binnacle:thumbdown: I can only put this down to the recent hot weather, but I'm surprised and very dissapointed...

I got a set from http://www.brakesint.co.uk/shop.html , cannot remember the price for for new calipers ( you send yours back exchange), but it wasn't too bad! IIRC i bought new discs too. a few other forum members have used them too. I can dig through my reciepts folder tomorrow and have a look...

Any clearance issues on parkamoor? I've driven it in a defender 90, suzuki sj, and a swb pajero. not sure I'd chance it in my 120!

Somtimes you just get a bad car! Gutted for you Crispin. Goes to prove that newer isn't always better! Volvo looks nice though:icon-twisted:

I've had my RV 4 for four or five years, and still really like it. For quick stops in good weather all you really need to do is chuck up the main part, and put poles under the front, which in reality takes a minute or two: Once your gear's inside, I finish unloading the car,open a bottle and...

Mine's at 118k, I've had it since 70k, and it still drives the same. I hope to stll be driving mine at 200k in ten years time.

fantastic!

Very Very nice!

pretty good iirc, out of my price range though! For warmer weather camping on a very light airbed, or a slightly bulkier s.i mat have a look what www.alpkit.com have to offer.

Gutted for you Graham: Good to see someone could see past the mileage to the excellent car.

I find it saves money if you heat the water to body temperature first by putting a plastic water bottle in my armpit for an hour :icon-rolleyes:.

Very impressive work!

Apparaently I could get mine re-ferbed in Ashton to the same standard for £25 a wheel:http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/showthread.php/50494-Got-the-rims-back-they-do-look-good-!?highlight=wheels So perhaps this forum is not the best place to get a sale at an inflated price.

I've had Heko deflectors on my 120 for 3 or 4 years, they're pretty good, especially if you want to leave windows open for ventilation when parked up in a typically wet summer.

I've got the same problem! I can manage without a car for four or five days, but if I jack it up and take all five wheels off I've no way of transporting my wheels to Ashton! I've got a trailer..... but my only towbar is on the cruiser!

I've had an oztent rv3 for five or six years, and cannot fault it: great build quality, easy to erect, superb design and plenty of room with the side panels. Obviously an rv3 would be too small for your needs, maybe look at an RV5 if you get chance!

Lol, nice one!

If that was staged the guy driving the 200 is the best actor I have ever seen. He was bricking it, and his relief at the end in the piece to camera was obvious. Great piece of TV.

Has a late 2003 got an obd II port? I'd be very interested in a scanguage if it has!

I love patrols: I was looking for one before I bought the 120 ( the 3l lwb version, 2003 ish) but they are pretty rare, and the weight and part time 4x4 put me off. For offroading you won't get better than a swb 4.2 patrol. A mate has one on a N plate for his plant hire buisness, and has used...

Don't fall into the trap that main do dealers a better job. When I bought my car it was one owner with fsh at Bentley's in Warrington, I took it for a full fluid change to a local 4x4 specialist for a full fluids change.when I picked it up he thought it had never been serviced. He ( a friend )...

4 l of synthetic 0w 30 for a tenner! http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/ProductDisplay?catalogId=10151&storeId=10001&productId=907231&langId=-1#tab3 am I missing something? I've just reserved 16l, enough for two changes, plus top ups. Too good to be true?

You think that the seller would feel obliged to mention the lack of front driveshafts in the ad?

I'm interested in this thread too: I'm at 112k, and not sure about my clutch too.

Following on from the recovery thread: The guys involved: http://www.all4adventure.com/our-gear.html And a bit of googling pulled this - Creative conversions - some nice cruisers etc: http://www.creativeconversions.com.au/photos/6 You'd certainly turn a few heads in a lwb 200 series pickup...

It's only a matter of time until someone gets killed at a pay and play with a kinetic rope. I'm afraid to say the majority of people at pay and plays are halfwits.

nice install!

A lot of us have defected from the dark side. I've had my bus four years without a problem, welcome!

General grabber 2' s on my bus too. 4 years and 50k still going strong.

I thought the 120 had an lsd?!? You have to keep the revs on for the atrac to work properly, I'm on the ipad, so fingers crossed..... hope the link works. http://www.toyota120.com/forum/showthread.php?t=25 Yep, keep the revs around 2K.

IMO that's the only change you need to make when driving an auto offroad. I've always preferred autos offroad. Shame I have a manual.

I didn't pick that link because it was cheap; It was the first on google with a half decent description! I have the 36 qt cooler, but should have gone bigger: http://www.gooutdoors.co.uk/50qt-extreme-wheeled-cooler-p175405?gclid=CP6m1PudmbsCFUkUwwodNGcAXA (good price too!)

In all seriousness have you looked at quality passive coolboxes? I use a coleman xtreme: http://www.camping-intl.com/details/Coleman_Xtreme_Coolbox_36qt/?utm_source=google&utm_medium=Product_Search&utm_campaign=google_base&gclid=CIT9iZXHl7sCFeESwwodkzkANg Performance wise it cannot be faulted...

me too!

Obviously not! Buyer ID is hidden, but begind with a k...... you live on the wirral.....

Well: I watched it... anyone here get it?

Difficult to put a price on yours Graham, Mods dont add value, and the snorkle and muds limit your market, as does the milage.

I've had hids in my 120 for the last 3 years, superb IMO, I accidently bought a cheaper set too ( both hids fed off one bulb feed) Passes the mot too, but I was told to leave a set of oe bulbs on the seat for the test, and tell the tester if the hids are no good put the bulbs in!

Always take cash! i'ts hard to turn a cash buyer away! good luck, report back!

I've been using these for the last three years: http://www.roughtrax4x4.com/?doc=16&cid=583&vid=1920 Cannot fault them!

Ta, not what i thought it was! I'll pass.

I'd love to know where those photo's were taken!

thanks!

Any chance of a photo graham?

That disco 2 was far from stock! (I'm guessing the 80 was modded too) I'm almost certain it had aftermarket lockers fitted judging by the wheelspin: early disco 2's had no centre diff lock - only traction control.

Lol, good advert. Covered all the bases I can think of...... but there are some serious fools on ebay! Good luck!
