Changed mine at 108,000 miles, along with all other oils that were changeable just so I have a base mileage from where to work in the future. Engine oil had obviously been changed regularly in the past, it looked like all other oils were original. Following the oil change, the automatic gearbox...

Well, I find myself needing a new key case again as my replacement knock-off case is starting to crack. There’s a surprise... However, there was something I found out whilst fiddling with the thing that I thought I’d share with you. You can actually take the metal key out of the casing and put...

As TonyP says, if your electronic insides still work fine Tractionman, this is real, real simple. Buy a new blank case/key from ebay as you have done, get the blank key cut to match your old one, put your electronic insides into the case, done! Cost you next to nothing. No reprogramming...

Hi Tony & Carbonleg, I had two of the three washer pumps not working, all old and corroding inside. A local electrician removed the pumps (two seconds to pull out, leave the bottle in place Carbonleg,) split them, cleaned them, put them back together and they worked beautifully - for 6 months...

Hi John, My 120 had the rattle as described above, a quick recon proved the culprit to be the very same. However, it rattled only in cold weather, never warm or hot weather. I bought the spare clips and foam rubber, then used the rubber for another job and never got round to fixing it as it...

Not sure if the positioning of these lights is acceptable in some countries, they fit extremely well into the openings though. £60 to buy in the UK, simple installation, I had to do it. https://www.hids4u.co.uk/LED-Daytime-Running-Lights-Ring-Aurora-BRL0397.html

LWB 120 SWB 125 Many thanks for the info Chris, much appreciated. I might be after one myself.

Hey Sam, Does it happen at 1,500 rpm, and only 1,500 rpm give or take? If so, there’s a thread on this and it’s a fairly easy fix. Read this and see if it might apply to you: https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/annoying-vibration-at-1500-rpm.143944/page-3#post-1426324 Good luck!

Here you go Andy, it looks pretty easy: https://www.autoshippers.co.uk/cyprus_car_shipping_guide.htm https://www.anglopacific.co.uk/documents/importation_guide_motor_vehicles_cyprus.pdf

@lc27 this one looks quite nice http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-4-2-80-Eighty-Series-Manual-Centre-Diff-Lock-Turbo-Diesel-TD/232584051933?hash=item362716fcdd:g:zCEAAOSwY~laIvTG

I bags December as mine has Christmas bows on it...

I had two mid life crises, still regret selling both of them! 1st one was a V8 350 cu in, 350 bhp, did about 12 miles to the US gallon, less than 10 if you stomped on it to properly open up that Quadrajet four barrel carb and hear the car absolutely sing. Pure music! 2nd was a V10 6.8 litre...

I'd try replacing the battery. It may show near the correct voltage when tested but may not have the guts to power the system. Worth a try...

So... what have you been buying? You can't tell us half a story, we might want to have them too!

That's a relief, I was holding my breath for you. Excellent! Have fun, and enjoy AM

I'd definitely be up for one of those, count me in too please, thank you. Thank you also for doing the research AM, appreciate it!

^^ As Ben says, very nice truck AM, hang in there. Let the guys sort it out and you'll have a superb vehicle when all said and done. Take a chill pill, ask for a loaner vehicle whilst they repair it, leave them to it, and don't accept it back until it's 100%. Their local reputation is on the...

Hi Matthew You've probably read this, but just in case you haven't: https://www.landcruiserclub.net/community/threads/icky-oil-pick-up.147273/ I'm running Shell Helix Ultra 5W-40 fully synthetic as the temps at the moment here range from -5°C overnight to +30°C during the day, and the only...

Look on your V5 registration document, Section 4, P.2. Max net power (kW), then a simple Google search conversion from kW to bhp will tell you which one you have, e.g. 127 kW = 173 bhp

https://www.paisleyfreight.com/ Used them in the past, and currently using them as I write. Very good, specialists in shipping wheels and tyres in the UK and Europe.

Google the problem, often you can find a solution following somebody else's exact same issue. Good luck!

No reprogramming required, simple swap. I've read you have to be quick when swapping the batteries over, I wasn't that quick due to one of the screw heads being totally rounded, but it all worked ok for me. The owners manual doesn't give any specific time to complete the task, however I suggest...

My battery number is 1616 Matthew, yours should be the same I imagine. CR1616, or Duracell DL1616, same thing. Good luck!

Well done! Looking forward to seeing your new ride.

Sounds like you're almost there with the spec! Just to add a couple of 120 notes in addition to the great info passed on from others above, several Australian companies manufacture auxiliary fuel tanks which fit in the space where the under floor mounted spare wheel would potentially normally...

Watching, intently! Can you post a few photos please Silvercruiser, that would be much appreciated, thank you.

Hi Roger, Did you ever get her sorted? If so, what was the cure please? Hope you are all set now. Drive safe!

Several owners ago, just the seals on mine were done at 42,000 miles

I bought my 173 bhp, April 2007, 5 speed automatic LC4 with 91,000 miles 12 months ago for £11.5k private. It had half Toyota history, half corner garage history. Clean, tidy, privacy glass (tinted rear windows,) upgraded leather and a couple of other extras. The 2003 you are looking at sounds...

Managed to get to my oil change today having finally found some decent oil. To be honest, I had the local Toyota garage do it (under watchful supervision) as their labour charge for changing the oil, oil filter and fuel filter was a whopping £4.50. Why wouldn't you?! Thankfully the oil strainer...

Do not, I appeal to you, do not underestimate the importance of having those injector seals replaced asap IF the vehicle is subject to the injector seal recall and it hasn't been done. You could well be up for a complete new engine when those seals finally give out. There are plenty of threads...

I'd go visit a local Toyota dealer with the registration number before buying, and see which factory recalls their service department can find that haven't been done to the vehicle, the injector seals in particular! Regarding the past service history, it's virtually impossible to answer your...

The reason I went with a Kenwood unit is because it had 99% of everything I wanted on it for the budget, and because my LC4 already had a Kenwood wiring loom installed by a previous owner. Sorry I can't honestly answer the question for you. It was rather like a small mass of spaghetti though...

Here's mine. The standard size for a double din unit is 7" x 4", that shouldn't change I believe. Different manufacturers make different screen sizes which can confuse the issue, me included, when referencing a 7" double din or 8" double din. New technology has produced bigger real estate...

Car stereos have new options seemingly every week nowadays, it virtually impossible to keep up with what the manufacturers are putting out unless you actually work in a car audio shop. Find one that has everything you want, look on the internet for the best price, make your choice and pay your...

^ Exactly what Silvercruiser said. LC4, leather, heated seats, sunroof, all the bells and whistles, fit a double din sat nav unit that you can Bluetooth to, perfect for the money! ^^ Exactly what Silvercruiser said re the injectors and LC5 air suspension issues. LC4 all the way!!

Good question Jack! From now on, I think I shall inspect and clean my MAF sensor every oil change as I'm at the DIY stage of ownership. I haven't had the vehicle that long, only 15 months, so I can't say if mine has ever been checked/cleaned or not from new in the past. A phone call to your...
