Winch Bumper , Metal rear bumper with tow hooks.

Hi, All Thought this might be a good place to ask Can someone recommend a good independant garage that can rebuild a 1KD-FTV engine in a 120 series for a reasonable cost. Vehicle is based outside the ULEZ in London.

It's worse in the winter, being really loud that you will see people staring at you as you drive past, once warm though everything quietens down. My next ask is to solve this one , I have the techstream software fleabay special , but it does not have the pilot injector learning part of the...

TonyP , There is a multichanger CD player in the glove box , and the navigation CD player underneath the drivers seat. This distinctive sound comes from behind the dashboard, time for a Sunday morning strip down..

Karl2000 MI5 would get bored quite quickly as the car only goes as far as Morrisons.

This is a strange one has any one else experienced it . Sometimes after switching the engine off I hear a sound which is similar to a hard drive being read. the sound is coming from behind the dash board. the navigation disc player is underneath the drivers seat. it is not that. any clues.

Had the same issue for the last couple of years , changed the injectors and Turbo . 20000 miles later still got the same issue . It would interesting to hear the cure.

Hi Simon, Can I have a copy of the manual for my 2007 D4D please ? [email protected] . thx so much

Apologies ...London

Does any one know , a good 4x4 garage who can fit a snorkel and change the turbo on my LC5 Prado 120 ?

Winch mounted front bumper , UK street legal , Street legal UK rear bumper , bash plates , Mounts and brackets for an oil cooler, all for a 120 Prado. You will get my money.....

Hi Simon, Just read through this thread regarding Prado 120 (LC5) manual please can you send me the link . Stocky(dot)darkman(at)gmail(dot)com

Brake pedal switch change , will not go into gear and no rear brake lights. Replacement £11 off Fleabay can't be bad.

Welcome aboard Gon4z , hope you will find all the help you will need . Like yourself I am in London also

Asir Region is really beautiful , remember it well especially Mount Souda, with regular trips to Jizan in my trusty ( cough cough !!) Range Rover. I truly miss it..

I re-purchased another X-Horse cable along with software compatible for Win 7. I think the problem is with the drivers to link the VIM within Techstream. I had exactly the same problem . Tried alot of the rubbish work-a-arounds on the Internet including altering keys in my computer registry...

I should have checked the valve gaps, did not like the idea of having to measure the shims as I do not have a vernier gauge. My injector rattle ( Cold Knock) is still prominent when cold even though I have changed the injectors.

The video reminds me of mine a few months ago. Injector seat blowby possibly cylinder no 2. I bought the most crappyist LC5 on this forum. Chucked loads of money at it, and realised one thing, because they are so reliable previous owners will not maintain them. They move them on when something...

Many thanks for the replies and links....The rattle I am experiencing is very very loud , enough to make people turn around and look , It definitely quietens down once the engine is warm, I changed the injectors as the previous ones had high trim values between 1.8 and 2 even when warm.

When cold , measurement taken within 30 seconds of starting. The injectors are as follows: Injector Feedback #4 -1.0 Injector Feedback #3 0.4 Injector Feedback #2 0.7 Injector Feedback #1 -0.7 Value when warm Injector Feedback #4 -0.7 Injector Feedback #3 0.3 Injector Feedback #2 0.1...

Hello there, I have been doing some research regarding this software , which in essence will save you a lot of money from the stealerships. I decided to purchase a version along with the OBD II to USB adaptor and all seem good until I decided to change my injectors , Can anyone in the know tell...

Puffing & wheezing but still going

Finally 11 Months later since my last post , Injectors changed done by myself . Could not find a competent garage or person. Fed up of the Bul*£h!t prices for what is essentially a 3 hour job. It's really not that hard !!

Many thanks All , for the advice now time for Plan F.... :grinning:

Many thanks for the responses, Interesting points raised . The reason for my question is that I am in the very early stages of my planing an overland trip to Ghana West Africa , And not sure of the vehicle modifications required. also not sure of the best route whether down through Spain ,ferry...

I would like to fit a raised air intake on my LC120, as I am making it ready for some off roading trips in the future , My question is : how difficult is it ? is there anything that I need to be aware of , Makes to avoid . is it worth it..Any advice would be greatly appreciated..

Lovely Car Intermittent Faults

Strange that... Just checked my car on the LEZ vehicle checker and I am exempt ,Yippeee but for how long ?? Whilst I do not have the need or interest most of the time to drive in London during the weekdays ,sometimes its just as quick to cut through ,than driving I mean crawling around the M25.

Hi Michael, Welcome aboard Very good choice for your trip into the continent of Africa. I am getting my LC120 ready for my overland trip London to Ghana in 2020, all dependant on finance of course. :) . Please tell me though what size are those wheels and would I need a 2" lift kit.

Would take the roof rack and lights , but I am in London...

Rumour has it that Birmingham in the UK will be introducing a ban on all diesel vehicles from the City Centre, I am sure London will follow soon. In my case when I was planning my trip I should have chosen a hotel on the Outskirts of the City and bussed or trained it in.

Welcome aboard Mihai nice to have you on this forum . There's a lot of helpful people on here. With regards to your Euro Category . I think they are wrong. Should be a Euro 4 . My reasons for saying this , last month I had to register my car so that I could drive through Belgium before and after...

I have a true story to tell, which happened today. I decided to take wifey shopping at my local lidl which has an underground carpark. I managed to get in, but smashed my crappy roof rack to smithereens on the way out damaging a 5ft flouresant light fitting in the process. Now wifey said " What...

I did enquire at the Stealership as to how much a new 2018 Disc set would cost, and was told around £120 ish depending on whether you wanted Northern or Southern Europe. Yep,you could by a Tom Tom with lifetime maps and be up to date . I am sure there is a way to create a readable disc that...

Looks a great bit of kit , would save me from making my own using a Raspberry pi micro computer ,as a basis. Fortunately my Nav , climate control screen still works.. The price of the toyota sat nav European map disks may tempt me to rip the whole system out and update it to this.

Hi all Just finished planning a short overland trip to various countries in Europe and realised that Clean Air certificates , Low emission zone certificates is required for all of them . which makes me wonder why anyone would want to drive to countries that makes it difficult even to traverse...

Before you do buy one ,seriously do your research ' Range rover Evoke oil dilution problems with the inginium engine. It is a source of banter between a good mate who bought one brand new, and myself who bought a second hand high mile-aged landcruiser. As an indicator mine has been back to the...

Very Nice, I am looking at a similar position on my LC5 , using a home made Door Jamb bracket to mount the antenna just above the tail-lights . My question to you doesn't your loading coil touch the body work and what is your VSWR like.

Not really maintenance as such, but trying to find the best location to mount my CB antenna..

Hmm, Plastic seal , Bash plates .....I guess mine must be missing when I bought my car :(

Hi there I probably did stopping very briefly for fuel as I delivered a car from the dealers in Jeddah to work colleagues in Khamis mushayt , Many many years ago.

Yep Spectacular views as I remember. Maybe just Maybe I will get a chance to re-visit.

To see mountains you would have to go to Taif , just a 3 hour drive from Jeddah. Done that route in a 4x4 Surbaban many times , Or you could go southwards towards Abha , Khamis Mushayt . Had the opportunity to travel around Saudi, including off road and Thoroughly enjoyed it.

Hi There, As far as I am aware, a leaking injector could potentially cause more fuel to be injected into the cylinder. this in turn could cause the cylinder to run hotter and could possibly damage the piston in the future . So I have been told , afraid I am no expert in diesel combustion...

Should be straightforward with some planning I thought all 120 LC5's had OBDII protocols Mine is an early 2007. I shall recheck. you are indeed correct Radio is easy using SDR software , There are many GPS modules on the market the only problem being the drivers the work with Linux . You can now...

Yep it seems about right for a Main Dealer One quick question though is it Cylinder no2 that requires the seat changing ? Some advice If you decide to get the work done , get the garage to remove the engine sump and clean the oil strainer as you will find it 'caked' in burnt oil residue. Had...

Hi All, I am thinking of a slightly different usage of the Raspberry Pi and the Realtek RTL2832. I shall use it to replace the Inbuilt navigation screen in my LC5 when it fails. Coding it to provide Radio / TV OBDII monitoring reversing camera ,plus inbuilt navigation will be challenging...

Reminds me of the days when we would 'pack up after work' and drive down the escarpment from Taif to Jizan in a GMC Suburban 4x4 for a whole weekend of wild camping , fishing , local sightseeing etc. Now with the issues going on between Saudi and Yemen I doubt if that would be possible now.

Hi guys just noticed that the question was regarding the 100 series, not to sure if this procedure would work on a 100 series. I have a 120 series. The Procedure is as follows: And yes its for a Camry ..it worked for me . As the keys are cheap as chips on Ebay , I will definitely be...

Has anyone used Baileys in Australia to supply injectors ? or acquired them from China, Japan or Thailand ?
