I've got a 1994, so let me have a look in the owners book to see what it says for L4 operation in an auto.

I'm the opposite... I want a stick for our 80 instead of the struts! Currently the struts work if I use some vice grips to lock them up.... Why more manufacturers don't do sprung hinges like I had on my Volvo, I don't know... You got flick a lever and then the bonnet would go to vertical

Petrol motorbike? e-Bike? Or, just say bugger it and run either a 4.5 80 series or a 6.0 V8 Commodore ute... Yes, we have sensible options here....

Those are aftermarket wheels there, I'm sure if you posted them on an Aussie site you'd get someone who knows more about them, but they're of the late 1980s early 1990s.

I totally screwed my A-Levels up.... was prediceted ADE (yeah, I was good in some subjects....) and ended up with EDD - not helped by the school going through discussions on whether it was going stay open or was it going to close and generally pushing the stress levels up for students and the...

Got more new bits - the rack arrived on Wednesday, so I got it all fitted up: First on the 80: The bracketry would put Bad Obsession to shame: So after that, it was over to setting it up on the trailer: So pretty happy with how all of that fits up....

We had a pub near us when I was growing up called the Falmouth Arms.... the sign had lost the M and H, so it was the Fal out Arms.... about right for how you'd leave it....

It's a grey import as it came in via the Netherlands official network to a dealer in Chesterfield (I doubt a main Toyota dealer, they'd have got a slapped wrist from Toyota UK) - it sounds like it was from the era where there was money to be saved (and made) importing from high vehicle tax EU...

And the big news.... After nearly 12 months of ownership (14 days or so short of 12 months) and 11 months of having the part on the shelf, I finally replaced the broken driver's door exterior handle: So strange having the proper door handle! Only took 30minutes to pull the door card out...

Sorry Julian, I did see the pictures the day after you posted them, but forgot to acknowledge them! So, we went away a fortnight later, and had a look at one of the racks I'd been thinking about as the "off the shelf"ish solution as there was a local stockist...

200,000 miles in something from 1999 would be just under 10,000miles per year. In 2007 I bought a 7 year old Volvo with 183,000 miles on it - or about 26,000/year. I then proceeded to put on another 50odd,000 in three years. I generally worry more about something with low miles than high miles...

Also not worth LS'ing it, as then it gets a performance mod plate and no good for NSW P platers.... As you say, it's an early one with the split rear window - there's a couple of guys who have similar vintage ones, and are doing them up slowly, so keep an eye on their projects for where they...

Rodger's done a great job on his.... mine? well, it still gets used for firewood etc, so we keep it good but not great. Don't worry - time will be twice what you expect and budget about the same! We've got a mate here who is a couple of months older than Jaz, and he has a collecting habit for...

Oh, and this one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/40serieslandcruiser There will be some for VIC as well..

This one is good: https://www.facebook.com/groups/724969530855717/ and so is this one: https://www.facebook.com/groups/714730268658089/ Between them, they have most of the parts that you'll need but can't buy new

Good luck! Couple of good starting points for parts are: -Allfourx4 in Kotara -Mr Landcruiser (QLD) -Don Kyatt stockists (that's the company behind Terrain Tamer) BUT You will find some parts hard to find (like water pump... one of the guys in town here is chasing one down and the usual...

Used to paddle white water open canoe and kayak - did it for 10 years or so for work, but haven't really been back in a boat for a long time. I've also had a brief dabble with SUPs, but I want to find a river SUP over here which is harder.

Welcome - where abouts in Northern NSW? Inland, Northern Rivers or North Coast?

It would end up doing BNE - SYD - Me (~1 week) - SYD - Out to the UK (~2 weeks), and that's not a particularly fast run at the moment unless you hit the days when we have a flight into town instead of road transport from Sydney.

SY7 8xx is Craven Arms is area.... if I was in the UK it wouldn't be a drama as that's my (southern) base area there.

Sorry Flint - I did get your PM, but it just got me when I read things and then forget about them. I could do it, but I reckon it would be about 3 weeks - someone in one of the major cities would be quicker....

Pretty sure the DX or Standard only came with the 1HZ 1HDs only came in GXL or higher

-10 gives you the offset to clear the tie rod ends (0 tends to foul); my -12 was just from memory, but I can quickly work out the offest on my wheels if it would help - I've got one off the car at the moment, so easy enough to do.

All good - thanks, there's no rush. Also just realised that the bar I have a line on is actually a Kaymar bar, not TJM... Doh!

Thanks Julian - I did do a bit of poking through Dr Google and did come across yours - do you have any pictures of the fitting etc? I've found one OK picture of it, looking from slight above down onto it.

ET35 implies +35 They do have some ET0, but I think you need ET-12 at least.

Update time: Mechanical I gave up on the charcoal canister when I worked out how it worked a bit more - I ended up constricting the end with a cable tie, so it can't suck as much air in through, forcing it to pull from the fuel tank instead. This appears to have improved matters. Last fill up...
