Juddian I bought an LC4 first and had that about 4 years until someone lost control and ran into me writing it off! https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/posts/1498148/ Had some fun with that one i can tell you! One i have now is LC5 and just done oil, filters, antiroll bar bushes, brakes...

Juddian, Welcome to the forum :thumbup: Nice to get an alterantive method for the alternator replacement, how long did it take? Got it down to about 45mins on the 3rd time!! Simon

Matt Sent you a link, enjoy Simon

So last night i managed to finally get it connected, checked the paths in the reg for XHorse and i had an error in one (typo) corrected and rebooted and it worked, as most have commented its a bit tempremental with connection. On looking at a few posts online it suggests not updating firmware so...

Rob Been working with that link and many others, got a few more bits to try but it might be back to W7 32bit or forwards to W10!!!! Thanks Simon

Just a heads up really, Been trying to find a kit to overhaul my alternator (bearings really grumbling) and in the end just has to pass on this one due to leck of information on the Denso unit, so i thought i would opt for a refurb unit. Straight forward job looking at the manual, drained the...

Hi, I have been trying to get my Techstream running but without success, version 13xxxx on W7 64bit, i know there are workarounds for 64bit and i have tried everything to get it running but it always says cannot read VIM! Persistance, will get there in the end :violin: Simon

Couldnt agree more! Doesnt matter how irrelevant it is from a bulb out to a screw missing, has to be right! Maybe with a little OCD thrown in :lol: Simon

No, sorry, this is the only one i have

Mucha Sent you a link, only have the workshop manual Regards Simon

Rob This seems like the same symptoms i had with mine, root cause probably different though! I replaced a front bearing and it had a faulty ABS ring on it, when i put the new bearing on i got lights and code errors, if i reset these without changing anything the ABS came on as soon as i touched...

Harvir, sent you a link Simon

So following on from this drawn out saga, I have now learnt quite a bit about ABS! To diagnose this problem i finally bought another ABS sensor and set it up on my bench, 11v power supply one side and the other side i rigged a 220ohm resistor with an LED to ground. I had 3 reluctor rings to...

Phil and Aamjad, I have sent a link to you both, any probs just let me know Havir, you need to PM me or let me have your email to share Thanks Simon

Interesting point, if you are going cruising then you will be in the higher speed range that should return some better economy (none urban), might be worth a hook up and check things out! Off to Scotland at the end of next month so i will have a better handle on numbers then :)

From my experience it does seem that the 06 LC5 is a tiny bit more thirsty than my 05 LC4, i have noticed this more on a long run out. LC4 had Grabber AT2 and on a long run (Scotland) i was gettting about 450 to the tank, this new one with standard road tyres i seem to get 400 to the tank...

Hi I have just upgraded form an 05 LC4 to an 06 LC5, the few refinements are nice and prior to getting it i read quite alot of concerns about the air suspension and its costs if it fails! As for the ride comfort i am sure it is better but i wouldn't say it would be a driver in making my choice...

So i have just replaced a bearing NSF and made the childish mistake of forgetting to put the seal on the back before pushing the bearing back on the shaft!!! yes i did kick myself! So i kindly sent my friend off to Milner to get me another bearing while i cried quietly destroying the bearing...

Guys, i am so sorry but i have been missing these posts :disrelieved: Anyone still needing a copy please PM me and i will organise Regards Simon

Are you still needing? I only have a digital format though Send me a PM How do you find the AT Grabbers? I thought they were brilliant especially in the snow!!! Simon

Tony Thanks for the tip on jacking, didnt think about that one but now i am forwarned!:) Simon

So after giving up my dream of owning another 120 i bought a runaround, Toyota Corolla 2Lt D4D 2004 £500, wow what economy, i was just touching 60 to the gallon!!! I soon started to get bored of this and started to look for another LC, went to see quite a few but nothing hit the mark. I was...

Tony Did you ever solve this problem? I realise you are after a hard copy but whats wrong with a digital copy and you can print out what you need? If digital is ok i may be able to help, please PM me Simon

Tony, thanks for the info. Have you got any idea of how big a job it is should it need to be done? I know this is one of them well how long is a piece of string but an indication may help me make the best decision. So do all LC5's 03 onwards only have them on he back? i thought they had this all...

Hope you guys can help me with a technical query? When did the Landcruiser 120 move to air suspension? and was it on all variants? ie LC3-5? It is interesting to see that there is a conversion kit that takes them back to the origianl style suspension! Thanks Simon

Shayne Looks like you had a great time with that one! Would love the time and resources to be able to put it right :cry: Simon

Sorry for the delay in replying, The saga so far is that on the Wed before my Scotland trip and after spending a day pulling things straight my insurance company have now written the car off as CAT S, they did however offer me a courtesy car until i returned from my holidays (last night!). I...

Thanks for all the support, pulled my finger out and now and going to start stripping it down this afternoon. Priority 1: get it fit for my hols, should be able to pull the bottom door hinge out with sliding hammer, this will at least make the door fit correctly Priority 2: see what insurance...

Without Prejudice Well my long run of trouble free motoring has reached an end :cry: Doesn't look like there would be a big mess from this but! this has bent the bottom pillar in by about 2" (about 50mm for all you young uns!) , while i am waiting for the insurance company to decide i am...

So after many years happy motoring i have had to replace the front drivers side inner CV boot (did the other side a few years ago and did a write up) Decided to also replace the dust cover as it had rotted through, went for genuine CV boot and replica dust cover. After stripping it all down i...

Ben I will drop you an email, had my sunroof out early this year!!!

Ahhhh! but the strange thing is that besides the diff bearings and a CV boot it hasn't missed a beat! Its very fuel thirsty but we are all allowed a mid life crisis! Driven it to Cape Wrath twice, Austria, Germany, Switzerland and it just keeps plodding on, its unbelievable in the snow (although...
