    Well built Japanese things

    Just saw this and having experienced a 6.1 before and was shitting bricks all the way through , look at the houses and that 80 being thrown about (this was a 7.6 I don’t think many countries could survive this without mass casualties).

    With a heavy heart - For sale in March 2024

    Excuse the Dutch accent, I bought it sight unseen and my mate from the Netherlands was over in NZ and took a video. I’ve thrown a fair bit of cash at it as I got it with the gearbox in bits. Should take collection of it with a MOT and all the seats out in a month or so . I just need to rebuild...

    Landcruiser 80 steering wheel blue grey.

    I got myself a replacement steering wheel and managed to source a second one at the same time. The condition is fair/good and comes without airbag as the pic suggests. I’m not the seller but I’ll furnish the contact details of the fella to anyone who wants it. He is after £175

    How high is the return water temperature for a 1HDT?

    I have a sensor in the top hose on the right hand side of my radiator (looking from the front - so basically at the top of the hose shown in your picture). At this point I get a reading of 75-80c. Now this may not be the actual temp but i just have it as a worry gauge i guess along with oil...

    Importing an 80 to the UK

    Kia Ora, One in one out lol. Mine is heading in the opposite direction. I believe you'll need to find an insurer who will cover it on the chassis number so you can then move it from the port. Then it is just a form at the DVLA and await a UK number plate. I think what Andy has said above is...

    Not Ebay but a great find on Etsy.

    Just ordered one of these to match the as new steering wheel i picked up. The console cover was a bit ragged and this looks to be decent enough to spruce up the interior. I saw it on MUD but can't find the link anymore. Seems pretty simple a few screws out and a bit of spray glue. Edit: I had...

    Partsouq - opinions?

    Yeah they're good, used them to deliver to 3 different countries without any problems at all. I don't know what the import tax situation is in Aussie but I use Amayama and they have a warehouse in New Zealand so no import tax levied. Give them a try i reckon they may have a warehouse there aswell.

    Truckasaurus - an 80 series living in London

    Hi, Looks like a nice example you have there. Just to add to the parts places try Partsouq based in the UAE. You just add your chassis number to the site and all the relevant parts come up, It worked for my UK 80 and my Japanese 4x4 bus, so i think there's a good chance yours will be found.

    Absolutely Chadr. I just think prolonging it into a proxy war is a folly. Sure countries have ping ponged between different custodians over the centuries.

    Would you surrender?

    Didn't the USA launch an attack at the bay of pigs ? It wouldn't be taking back control, that would be the Aboriginals repossessing Australia or something similar. Ukraine didn't exist till 1991. There's cruisers on this forum older than that. Ukrainians do have a say, they can fight or fold...
