It might look awful, but do you think this would fit/be right? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/2002-2009-Toyota-Land-Cruiser-Prado-J120-Front-Bumper-/201427346528?hash=item2ee6016460 Do you think the 120 bumpers are the same size for the three door 125?

Hi all, My dearest wife had an encounter with a bollard today. Thankfully she was fine, not so thankfully my 125 was not so fine: Thankfully, it seems to have only crumpled that section of the front bumper. But the catch is, I live in Africa, and parts are really hard to get. Is this an...

Chaps - as ever, excellent advice, and thanks for spending the time writing back. I've actually gone for Gary's advice with the Philips Extreme, as I'm the HID upgrades are a little above my capability levels right now! Should be here in a few weeks, so I'll let you all know how they are...

Hi all, I would like to upgrade my headlights on my 125 (2006). I am a total beginner with cars, and just wondered if you could advise me on which bulbs to get that would suit my four wheels? Are they easy to install? I am after bulbs that can provide much better all round illumination, as I...

Thanks Trevor. Not to worry: I've ordered a part from ebay which should be here in a month or so. If that doesn't work I'll be in touch!

Great, thanks Gary! Trevor, are you there?

Hi chaps, Thanks for the help and sorry for the delay in my response. This whole coding thing sounds a bit dubious to you all, and as the car was from 2006 (pre-serious electronics), I think you're right to try out an ebay version and see where that gets me. Once again, excuse my ignorance...

Here's the part that's broken and needs to be replaced

Hi - thanks for your help with this. I need a bit of further advice. Basically, the mechanics spent a good hour identifying why the horn wasnt working and checked all the fuses possible and connectors. In the end they checked the Spiral Cable and it was that. The mechanic said that the...

Found the problem! I've got a faulty/broken Spiral Cable. Apparently it needs to be replaced. Where can I get parts for a 2006 Prado 125 diesel? Or are Spiral Cables much of a muchness?

Richard, thanks a lot - I will try all of your advice this weekend!

I've recently received a 2006 TD 125 Prado (the 3 door version). Despite a few years on the clock, it's working beautifully. There's just one problem: the horn doesn't work. I'm based in Africa, and it's hard to get decent horn advice out here - can anyone help me (bearing in mind I'm entry...

Hi, I am after a Left Hand Drive, Diesel, Non-turbo, medium sized 4x4 Landcruiser, ideally pre 2000, as few a electronic mod cons as possible... Budget is about £12k Anyone have any ideas where I can get one in the UK?

So far so good then. Sorry, really am a rookie at ALL of this, but what questions should I be asking about it? I live in Africa so it's a bit tricky to actually go and see it. Also, ball park cost - what's the max you'd pay for this? Thanks a lot

Thanks - yes, tax import is fine (there's a window to import tax free). I might have to up my budget! Just waiting to find out how much the actual shipping costs - what do you think of this? Should I be wary? http://bit.ly/1vEYGhZ

Damn! Thanks @stumog

It's illegal to drive a RHD in Ethiopia. LHD is mandatory... Don't laugh, but any of these?! (appreciate these are based in Dubai) http://bit.ly/1Gk6FY5 http://bit.ly/1vEYGhZ Both are about £3.5k

Yes, I thought so. Bugger. Are there any second options from the Land Cruiser range that aren't such beauties but still remain exceptional work horses that might be cheaper?

Sorry, 'here' is Ethiopia.

Great, thanks guys. Now: if I had a budget of £3k (i've just got to spend another £2k on shipping - but even then it's cheaper than buying here), is this still the right option or totally unrealistic?

Thanks for everyone's help with this and answers. 80 series it is, but this Left Hand Drive thing is a bit of a problem - I am finding it hard to find any on sites like Autotrader (is that where people go for second hand cars these days?!). I might have to look at options to ship from a more...

Hi everyone, I'm moving to Ethiopia in January and need a brilliant 4x4 that will do us proud while out there. I have looked into 4x4s and my research concludes that Land Cruisers are most definitely the best, most reliable car out there. I am after one that is reliable, easy to fix (i.e...
