Just a wild guess, but Garmin cradles have those sprung pin contacts and as it was under the drivers seat where the satnav disc lives, could there be a connection (ha). The hole in the side looks a bit ragged for a production job, so maybe an attempt to try to use SD cards?

Could you insure it in the Netherlands and then cancel the policy when you've got it home ? Or sort out temporary cover there ? Or even ask the seller to put you on their cover ? https://insurances.nl/car-insurance/

BLM is more about this sort of thing these days: Racist abusers targeted Aberystwyth student on train - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] If you look through here, it will help understand how much of UK wealth is based on slavery: https://www.ucl.ac.uk/lbs/

Tried a bit of Lanoguard, not that impressed, it's thin and easy to use but would need retreating quite often I think. Corrolan looks like a better bet in the sheepy stuff, haven't tried it yet though.

Look at him working, sorting his parts in the night when there’s nobody near, what does he care ?

Have you drained the diff oil ? If so, was there much in the way of bits stuck to the drain plug ? It's not a particularly hard job to rebuild, but (quite a big but) not that easy either. Because it's what's called a clamshell diff (i.e. the casing has to be split to get at the innards), the...

Not to worry, then the Geriatric Age Governing Algorithm (GAGA) that will take care of things will kick in. It will automatically order suitable things from Amazon (denture fixative, biscuits, etc.) and send reminders telling me what I went upstairs to look for and where I left my glasses...

:thumbup:Don't forget to grease those trunions :)

Yes and no ! It's a different process, reading about HVO it seems to reduce many of the problems that are aimed at diesels at present. Particulates are well down, NO2 is reduced etc. etc., generally better all round. Not available at the pump in the UK but bulk deliveries are available. More...

Perhaps a bit of hope for diesels ? Haven't come across it yet, but wouldn't mind giving it a go. https://www.commercialfleet.org/fleet-management/environment/alternative-trucks-fuels-with-few-drawbacks

Hmm, not sure but perhaps more draw from the injection pump at higher revs ?

I think that the problem seems to be when the fuel gets to the filter and the waxy flakes start to block it. I had an old MB diesel that behaved like yours did, just enough getting through to start and run, but not enough heat build up from the engine to warm things up enough to clear it...

My brother lasted 35+ years after his diagnosis and my sister is still going 40 or so years after hers.

Probably already seen, but just in case (after carefully hiding credit card) Frosts do a pretty good range of such things. Probably not the cheapest, but the online catalogue is interesting. https://www.frost.co.uk/cat71/

So sorry to read this Chris. Treatments are getting better all the time, hope they can find something that works for you. Best wishes.

You can download a 200 manual from here, but it's not a pdf and seems to need a pc running Internet Explorer 5.5 or above to run. https://carmanualsclub.com/toyota-land-cruiser-workshop-repair-manuals/

I remember that, I lived close by. Part of the problem were the SPG (Special Patrol Group) vans cruising round and the occupants leaping out at people, often without due cause. That made for a lot of resentment, their handling of people was not usually particularly subtle.

Replaced exhaust back box section on the 81 yesterday, had to drop the Panhard rod and lift body a little bit due to Long Ranger tank getting in the way. Used a ratchet strap to realign the Panhard bush and body mount.

Any good ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clutch-Slave-Cylinder-fits-TOYOTA-LAND-CRUISER-HJ60-4-0D-82-to-85-2H-ADL-Quality/333845164344?

A priest and a taxi driver both died and went to heaven. St. Peter was at the Pearly gates waiting for them. ‘Come with me,’ said St. Peter to the taxi driver. The taxi driver did as he was told and followed St Peter to a mansion. It had everything you could imagine from a bowling alley to...

As James Bonds next Aston Martin will probably be battery powered, will he be known as AA7 ?

Service manual for 2 stage Denso injectors (non common rail). Just posted for interest, unless well equipped probably a job best left to the experienced ! http://steldiesel.ru/files/dvuhprugforsdenso-servmanual.pdf

Just a thought, but if possible check when going downhill with no throttle. If it smokes on the overrun, it could be valve stem seals.

ARB have bought out a plastic bar (called a SmartBar) that'll take a winch which is supposed to be safer for pedestrians: https://arbeurope.com/bumpers-protection-equipment/smartbar/

You can get solar water heating panels that go on the roof, the water flows through glass tubes, seem to work well. I think that there are quite a few problems coming up with vehicles going electric. With the government realising that they'll be out of pocket (£27 billion ish) through the loss...

An off grid friend had one of the cheap smaller turbines, it lasted just over a year. One problem was that it was low voltage, the size of cable needed to help reduce transmission losses, together with batteries and control gear (which need replacing over time), made it a pricey installation...

In West Wales they built a stop line which ran across from north to south. The fear was that an invasion could take place from the west. Not much left of it now, but the photo in the link shows a line of blocks that are still there. https://www.casgliadywerin.cymru/items/424781 There is an...

I used to keep a bit of stock, not in a big way, 30 or 40 ewes and their lambs, a few heifers and their followers, various fowl. I wasn’t registered organic, but tried to avoid the multitude of veterinary potions and sprays, only using antibiotics if really needed, which was not often, or if...

There are still quite a lot of the old pill boxes around too, it's reckoned that something like 28.000 were built in 1939/40 and loads of strategically placed large concrete block tank traps. You'd never get planning permission now........:)

Here's the WWF take on things:

Might be worth a look: https://www.unimog-community.de In German but google translate helps. There is a forum.

Bad times indeed, many a farmers heart was broken to see their livestock slaughtered like that.

No experience of Solis other than looking one over, but personally I think, if you are going to go for a compact, you'd be better off with a decent used Japanese one. Just to put a fly in the ointment and not knowing what sort of land or area you'll be working with, rather than tying up that...

With newer turbines it seems as though it does, but there are lots of variables involved, siting, reliability etc.. The term used is EROI which is the energy returned for the energy invested.

Hello and welcome. Keep letting us know how you're getting on or any questions, but check out IH8MUD Forum - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] if not already seen for more info regarding importing and a lot more, it's US based.

After much umming and aahing I decided to lash out on a dehumidifier to use in the house (old, stone built) as the windows (d/g) were getting a bit of condensation on a cold morning. It did the trick, sucked out a couple of litres from the air and the rooms involved felt better to be in. I...

Quite understand that you don't want the hassle or expense, but my thinking was that a site with tenants is worth £ to the developer whereas an empty site is worth ££££. As Shayne said, Citizens Advice is a good place to start (though I think they're pretty busy at the moment) to find out your...

Might be worth checking with your local district council planning department to see if any applications have been lodged for the site. If he is planning to develop the site, delays might be an added expense for him to take into consideration. Any rare newts in the area ?
