I saw this parked near where I live in Malaga. Great UK personal plate!

I need to connect a trailer electric socket. Before I start cutting and soldering wires, there isn't a ready made plug hidden somewhere to connect to is there?

Is it a good idea to wash the engine bay? After the last trip everything is absolutely caked in dust. My local car wash has a gentle foam cycle and a gentle rinse, I wasn't thinking of going banzaai with high pressure, but be nice to clean it up a bit. It is a 3.0d4d

I know this is the best land cruiser forum ever, but could, or should, the admin let our Hilux cousins have a section? We share the same parents, same interests and most of the oily bits are the same. I only ask, because after Summer I am considering swapping my 90 for a Hilux, so naturally I...

Hi, I've been enquiring about chip tuning my 2001 D4D. (Not a plug in but a remap) I'm in Spain and a couple of companies say it can't be done. Who can do it in the UK??

In anticipation of a 74l fridge that I am planning on buying, I need to think about powering it. I have a short wheel base 90, with a roof tent. The fridge draws max 5A, so I am trying to work out what I need to power it. I'm thinking that a 100Ah battery with 100w solar panel should be...

I'm looking at buying a new standard front bumper for my GX. Mine is a 2001, but the only bumper I can find says it is only for upto 1999. Is there any difference?

Seen this for sale. Looks pretty tidy and a good price. I am not related to, nor do I know the seller. I just thought maybe of interest to someone http://www.milanuncios.com/todoterreno-de-ocasion/toyota-hdj80-24-valvulas-3bloqueos-220463590.htm

4 black steel modular wheels. 16". 6 stud. Excellent condition , only 6 months old. No dents or scratches. Up for grabs as I bought a set of alloys and still have the original set of wheels and I need the space. Collection only in Malaga. For cost of fuel I could meet somewhere in Andalucia...

Had my new front springs fitted, new wheels on. Next month, new bumper and polishing. Also need to change the pitted windscreen Gratuitous before and after pics

Hi. Just ordered some genuine alloy wheels online, but would like to order the wheel nuts (replacing steel wheels). Any leads where to buy a set of nuts, as I'm seeing some crazy prices!

I don't know if this is of use, but when I was planning storage, I couldn't find coolboxes in standard eurocrate size. I was contemplating making my own until I found kangabox.de They make coolboxes for catering companies that have to be specific sizes. Hope it helps.

Planning to swap out the 2 rear windows for aluminium plate, but using same fixings as the glass, so that they can be swapped back and without damaging the trim. I will paint them black, so at a glance will look like blacked out windows. On the inside I plan to cover in carpet and then attach...

Just a quick question, I have always felt my 90 is a bit low at the front, it's on original springs. I fitted roof bars today and it is clear that the roof bar at the front is lower than the back (when parked on a flat surface), the roof bars have made a flat reference, making it look like it is...

Driving to Croatia in August and have virtually the whole month to get there and back. We are leaving from Southern Spain and will mostly be camping. Has anyone done a trip there? Any advice?

Got black limo tint today. Looks good.

Still hunting for some arch extensions to make my truck legal. Last universal ones I bought were rubbish, so had to send them back. I've found some the correct width, but they are for a 3 door discovery. Do you guys think that the shape of the disco arch and the lc90 are similar enough for them...

What's the average mileage for changing the clutch, I know a lot depends on driving style etc... I'm planning a big road trip, so thinking about preventative maintenance. She's got 140,000kms now. Done some off road work with previous owner, but mostly used on the road with no towing. I...

Googled the cr*p out of it, but I can find no definition for D4D. Someone asked me yesterday. What does it mean, if anything?

Hi Guys, Been googling for hours, looking for a source for genuine wheel arches. Mine doesnt have them, I bought universal ones to cover my wider tyres, but they look awful. I just can't get them to fit right. My plan is to get either new or second hand ones, modify them with fibreglass so I...

Got a broken front wheel stud. Does the hub have to come apart to put the new in? Have Googled it but can't find anything model specific.

I'm getting married at the end of July, for the honeymoon, we are planning on driving from Málaga to Athens, which via France and Italy then following coast roads from Croatia down is about 9000km return, plus incidental driving to see sights. The car is in good condition throughout...

Time to get rid of the skinny 215 tyres. I have bought some 16x7 steel wheels with ET +7. So now it's time to order new boots. I'm going for an AT tyre, something like Cooper, but weighing up what width to go for. Choices are between 235/85 or 265/75, both being virtually the same diameter...

Seen some alloy wheels with bfgoodrich mud terrain, great condition, but they are 15" wheels off a mitsubishi pajero. Will they clear the brakes etc?

My 90 camper project is nearly done. The bed is 1.85 x 1.30 with a foam mattress that is in 2 pieces for use outside as comfortable seats, after they have been folded in 3. I've cut screens that fit into all windows and block out light and heat, except the front 2, which have mosquito...

2001 d4d. Went for a little ride down the river thought I would try the idle up. The idle up button doesn't do anything. Is there any known fault before I start looking for wiring problems?

I'm turning my 90 into a mini camper for me and the girlfriend, it's only going to be used 1 or 2 nights at a time. I will start building the interior in the next week or 2. the basic set up will be a 1.2m platform, with a section of 60cm that will hinge onto the folded forward front seats...

Hi. Newbie, sorry! Just picked up a 2001 SWB D4D GX Land Cruiser. I have plans for it, mostly to fit our camping gear. My question is, I want to fit slightly bigger, wider tyres. The standard skinny 215 do not look big enough, however I can't raise the overall height of the vehicle by more...
