honestly im looking at a hilux , simply due to the fact its pretty much the same running gear as my 120 , always loved the aussie trayback/canopy style for touring since watch ronny dahl and his cruiser years ago

its underneath the driver, i had an aftermarket cd in there which took such a pain to remove, however it still didnt work with the original disc. in hindsight i would have got the lc4 too.

I did check the tesla headunit as mine is the lc5 so i guess that's the only option to keep ac control. underside doesn't seem to bad tbh, I know trevor said was good 5 years ago :P. thanks for the reply though :)

hey all my 120 is now hitting 171k mileage, seems to run fine still but some qol issues are making me wonder if now time to change. sat nav freezes and doesnt read the disc anymore, air con has a leak somewhere, seat bolsters are ripped too. whats the life of the d4d engine? is 171 getting to...

looks quite nice i thought, engine sounds a belter. from what the aussies can do with a 200 i cant wait to see what they do with the 300. shame we prob wont see it over here , i wont even be able to dream and touch one lol

afternoon all, nice to see u guys had a place in the show, though was long queue on sunday and i followed a black hilux through the actual show thinking this is new route, but then they turned off 3/4 through so wondered if someone from here , eventually parked up randomly as no marshalls in...

hey everyone just a query are all the discounts still in place? i noticed they few years old now. cheers russ

yup bag was put overnight, im taken the switch unit out so far as still didn't work this morning, just checking on fleabay for the unit, seems lots for 100 and 90 series, but not the 120.

hey all slight issue where my front window driver side isn't closing, the switch is working on down as I hear the motor clicking but on up nothing is happening, I did get some water on the switch from a puddle so im hoping maybe needs dry out? is there anyway to manually close the window for now?

I went through superior engineering, not sure the chap still works there but was easy to order and they marked the packages lower price for the import tax reasons :)

ok, this may go against general feeling but if compare this april to last april id say it was an improvement, generally due to the big trucks being there, the bikes, more campervans, couple new vendors, yes slightly less vendors overall or more scattered so felt less, more footfall also than...

regarding the air bags on the rear, I brought a pair from airbagman in aus which also gave a 2in lift, so far 30k miles has proven no issues at all. :)

talking of sand driving, are they any tracks or places in the uk to actually drive on sand? only one iv heard is black rock sands, but do we have any tracks also quite sandy?

yup that's the one :sweatsmile:

sent an email yesterday checking if still ok, so im down for one. sent the dosh

I have just got some cheaper leds as I swapped my mains over to Led bulbs, will let you know how they compare, also guna use them in the reverse slot as I can hardly see when reversing in dark.

you have snow already? how far north are you lol

that's a very nice looking trailer and set up

hey chaps just wondering did the hilux share the same gearbox as the 120 and 100? the 5 gear one. or If anyone knows a website with more details on shared parts brakes, engine bits etc? leaning to a pick up and having had the 120 it makes the hilux feel a reliable option otherwise the dmax is...

ye, I did overhear someone telling the turos magazine chap that it seems to be turning into a landrover show, wud be a shame to see our only overland focused show get a bad direction just when it seems the scene itself is gaining momentum here. and I was watching them birds lol, prob looked...

hows it going? tried to find u guys but no luck, though I admit I didn't go hunting around every corner but did seem like the show has gone abit backwards since my 1st visit in 16. less organised plotting and vendors, couldn't see the jeep club either this year and they usually always had a...

well, managed swap the led brake lights in, and all working so far, went for a drive, parked up, switched off 20mins, and restarted all fine. fingers crossed sorted but puzzling

its puzzling really, I had normal bulbs when 1st got car then added some leds, but since going back to bulb its played up, could the drawage have confused the ecu? iv managed get some new leds today but silly weather says no fitting atm. im really hoping its the bulbs as seems strange anything...

the brake lights are only in the top cluster and not in bumper correct? double checking as I know some are just in bumper and later models had all in the upper clusters

ok, breaking it down. changed rear brake bulbs at the weekend, had leds previously. since then had the problem. I used 580 bulbs, as I couldn't remember and checked online. is that right bulb type? checked fuses after posting and tail/stop fuses seem intact, took new bulbs out and rechecked all...

hey all couple days ago my car has started an issue with not releasing from park until an abs light comes on and then it seems to release after pressing back onto the brake. however today it did the same leaving work but when I got home and slipped back into park it has refused to budge out of...

yup have them on the radar, gota love aus for its variety and size

I did look at the sankeys which is a potential base, regarding off road, well nothing drastic however the turtlebacks use a similar rubber style suspension but with shocks added however previous models used just the axle less rubber rated for 2ton so having leaf springs etc isn't a deal breaker...

hey all does anyone know much info on self build trailers in the uk? iv had some quotes for new chassis trailers which wud enable me to just build my frame etc on to it but that's around £1600 1.3ton capacity and 8x4 frame. been looking at the turtleback in America or patriot campers style as my...

looks like a great trip, totally jealous but thanks for sharing them.

hi tony I will try holding longer as I guess only about 5 secs im pushing the button down. cheers

thanks, silly question but I assume the acc key shud be switched on, or will it still work with ignition all off?

its an lc5. I have changed the disc before shortly after getting the vehicle just not touched it since.

hi tony the screen only freezes on the I agree part, I can select other options but if I try going to menu/destination or nav buttons its just returns to that frozen part. regarding the disc, it just does nothing when slide the button. radio on or off. I did swap batteries late last year but...

hey all. is there anyway to remove the disc from the unit. im pushing the slider but nothing is happening and its leaving my screen stuck on the I agree button , unable to access menu but can still access climate, audio, maintenance screens

hey guys, nice to see the trucks again and a good turnout. shame about the show itself and the weather but you always look one of the best groups lol. I think was even a bonus being on the way to and from the car park ( strange place they put the visitors this year)

from what iv gathered it seems quite a few vendors are going inside this time? think I saw trader on fb saying they be inside so no matter the weather. if true hopefully this doesn't make outside feel sparse

iv ben thinking to upgrade to leds on this or not, are you all running in stock housings? do the led's produce less glare than hid's? and lastly, I have the rubber covers on the rear of my lights, looks likely these will be lost.. any disadvantage with that?

I keep saying every year il go but sadly this year is another one I will break that lol. one year I will go:grinning:

pictures, dare I ask what you paid? was it already imported or you went through the import process?

same here in Berkshire, not seen much at all, few showers but maybe 1cm settled only on the car. hearing thurs and fri possibly more for the south but I'm not having hope for it.. more enjoyment then if actually happens

hey all, did any1 attend? saw number of cruisers in the outside car section but randomly placed. what were your thoughts? new venue, new name..

hi gary yup all seems fine now. I ended up just paying Toyota as the garage is just around the corner literally and the car had got so bad even 50 mph was a struggle on flat straights. cheers russell

thanks guys , appreciated.

so it seems the suction control valve is faulty, Toyota wanted £675 for the job. sound reasonable for that? I'm thinking a lot is labour too?

have changed air filter, unplugged maf sensor and drove, very slight improvement but still super sluggish. can hear turbo spooling. checked hoses, not sure where turbo is to be honest.

little update... had the fuel filter changed, managed get down to a quarter of tank and thought refill with some ultimate and cleaner, now feels worse, almost like no turbo.. very sluggish/restricted feeling. any other ideas?

hey all recently my lc5 has started losing power under heavyish acceleration, I dnt get any lights up and seems to regain normal power if I release and go normally. but will happen again if I try any heavy peddle. I had full service last year (approx. 10k miles) so any suggestions easy check...

would I need to declare change of class for the v5 though? will ping west coast as well. karl how did you sort the rear out? custom made or imported a kit?

hey guys does anyone know if or how it is possible to do a double cab conversion in UK and DVLA law on it? iv seen in aus its quite a popular trend to convert 80/100/200 series and patrols to double cab trucks with chassis extensions to the wheel base. I think any "kit" imported from aus would...
