Outer plastic wheel arch flares on body and door

Dear all, has anyone replaced the rear wheel arches or is there. Current thread? REGARDS Simon

I'm getting around 19 mpg out of mine and on lpg I'm around 14 to 15 mpg so pence per mile very pcheap. I paid 2250 for mine on I have spent 1500 doing odds and sods but it has only done 100k Kim's so very smooth and quiet.

New plugs distributor cap and rota. Arm fitted seems much smoother and power through the revs with no hesitation. The rpta arm and distributor cap showing signs of wear.

It is a gun oil as well a bit like wd 40 and is a lubricant but it stinks .

Hi all, Having got my landcruiser back are there any events / meets co in up soon or dates for later in the year. Regards Simon

Nice job shayne.

If it fills the cracks then do the colour cream bingo restored seats . Where did you get the filler and leather binder

Yeap it is more like the shoe cream but you can get diff colours for Toyota light grey dark grey charcoal and black

The seat only had 1 coat says best to do more coats . Will need a good leather feed cream after wards to help stop further cracking. James was was gob smacked as well. will do you your seats so long as light grey you can get other colours when you sort me the middle row of seats Karl ;) look...

Tried some leather die repair cream seat, borrowed a damaged seat from Karl to see how good as you can see works wonders so if your seats looking a bit sad this may be the solution for you.

Yeap!

Thanks Chris, all sorted at the minute and thanks for the tea chat and advice. simon
