Hey thanks for this, i managed to improvise with some fuse wiring but i didn't know those things existed Looks like i will hunt some down and get them wired in!! Thanks again Simon

Hi Guys, Been a while! Just off up the West coast to Cape Wrath on Friday and could do with a permanent power source to run a LED light for the tent, tried a search and no luck! Some posts on other forums about bridging the ACC relay in the engine compartment but mine does not have that relay...

Tony Totally with you on dealers, i have had a lot of bad experience and its resulted in a massive lack of trust!! https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/my-new-purchase.140949/ Simon

So Friday came an i was looking forward to escaping the sunshine by spending the time under my cruiser but alas it poured down! Soon as the weather cleared i set to changing the inner CV boot! Love these kerbside repairs! 1) Drained the front transfer box 2)Remove the road wheel then centre...

Rob Really appreciate the pointers and help, boot is on order from Simon (Mr. T.), very quick response time!! Will get some diff oil and do the job properly! Regards Simon

Rob Many thanks for the pointers, So are you suggesting that if i dont undo the 35mm hub nut the complete shaft can swing out (still connected to the hub) with enough room to replace the boot? The other tech bit i wasn't quite clear on is keeping the fluid in the diff, i believe it can be...

Well with just 2 weeks to i set off to Austria and Switzerland, just swapping tyres front to back and noticed my inner CV boot has split :angry: So had a look round and there seems to be a few variants on how this task is done? Actually looking at the job it looks straight forward, so my...

Because i reset it several times and it did the same thing i was expecting a stripped spot on the 'worm' track or the drive sproket but it was fine so i guess it was just a tight spot that grease sorted out?

My 120 is very standard except the AT tyres, absolutely brilliant in the snow! Spent a day at Kirton Off Road Centre, brilliant fun but just stay out of the puddles!!! Amazed at how well it manages just about anything!

Managed to get this sorted, 1) Remove trim from the sunroof mechanism 2) Remove the light cluster, this was the tricky part as it took me a while to work out you need to pull down from the window side and not the switch side! 3) Undo the 2 bolts holding the motor in place, this will just drop...

Well its been a while but something had to go wrong! With only 6 weeks to my European tour my sunroof decided to go with a clunk when one of my Scouts decided to meddle! :angry-screaming: Had a look at it and looking at the runners it is clear to see that the left and right are not aligned...

I will be in Switzerland about then with my good lady! Booked a 2 week holiday driving over to Austria, Tirol on the 18th for 1 week then off to Switzerland for the second, just visiting the mountains so no real plans Would be nice to hook up for a brew if nothing else! Simon

Andy Best not let our Scouts see a log burner in a tent or they will all want one!! Always like the good old canvas tents, we are still using them and they are 20-30 years old! new dome tents last about 5 years max (although alot lighter for backpacking :icon-biggrin:!!) Simon

And the injected washer issue has also been done with Mr T Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk

Thinking about it you are quite right, a rattle but quite loud, all the engine has been stripped on the bottom end with new shells, pickup and new oil pump etc. So not really worried in that area it's just very noisy at 6am on a quiet Estate! Sent from my Z10 using Tapatalk

I have this knocking first thing when i drive up the hill, even the same just after an oil change, if i keep the speed down to 25mph for 5mins it just goes! It does sound like the main bearings are just about to fail! I will be reading the above link with interest as its about 150 pages so must...

I am not sure if the copy i have has everything in but if you send me a PM with your email i will be happy to share with you Simon

Well at long last my luck has run dry :violin: Rear diff pinion bearings are grumbling! Looks like quite an interesting job so might need to do this one in a garage with the weather being a bit iffy! Any words of wisdom from anyone who has tackled this? Thanks Simon

Introduction - Campfire cooking Nice topic, as a Scout leader we have played a bit with backwoods cooking, all very basic though. Last one we tried was an egg in an orange, the hardest part is making sure you have the embers no too hot, besides that we managed too cook it ok but i must confess...

I had full digital tracking and camber done on mine and it still seemed to pull a little towards the left so i had it rechecked (not that i don't trust anyone :think:) and it was all correct so i would side with Chas on this one and put it down to road camber!

Archie Assume you have an LC5 with them factory fitted, i bought mine for £25 off eBay and they work a treat and dead easy to fit!:dance: Just changed my oil went to 10w/40, this is slightly better at colder temps although it was more based on others experience, Toyota seem to use 5w/30 in the...

Archie Big welcome!!! This is defiantly the right place to start! without these guys i think i would have given up on my crusier but now she is running as sweet as a nut! and i have gained plenty of knowledge along the way! Simon

Not sure why that one posted twice???

Mark Thanks for the info and quick reply, although this is still in embryonic stages I would like to tag along for 2017, Your vast wealth of experience would be more than beneficial! On the fridge, does it not drain your battery overnight? Noticed quite alot of snow on your pics! when you go in...

The festivities are over (almost!) and my best prezzi is my book, Morocco Overland by Chris Scott (that i have only read the first few pages so far and am hooked!) So i am deciding to dip my toe in the water and plan a trip to Morocco for 2017 for 3 weeks (yes it takes me that long to...

Andy Just pulled this off one of Crispins posts I found the details for the injector seals recall. You should be getting an email / letter / phone call from them if you are affected but just in case, you can check yourself. Model Vin Range Manufacture date KDJ125 JTE AZ29J#...

Rob Sorry i don't know anything about injectors but i am interested in your ODB2 reader! I have a 2005 LC4 and when i looked into this it seems to be some weird form of hybrid from ODB to ODB2 and could not get any response from a reader i bought off ebay other than the type of ODB it was (not...
