Hi Chas, got the V5 through yesterday. The Phoenix is still with Julian - I'll call him tomorrow and see When's best to go and collect it; hopefully on the weekend! Considering an outing to the Picos D'Europa in September. Very much looking forward to picking it up. How's the Jaaaag?

2017 Africa Twin. I'm quite find of a twin... Although when I'm in a position to get a second bike I'm thinking of a Triumph Daytona 675.... But currently the AT does everything I want of it!

I have generously taken Chas' truck off his hands. He kindly drove up in his Jag (very nice!) to Ledbury to show me around The Phoenix, and I heard all about the numerous accidents, gearbox drowning and fixes. Once she has a new timing belt as well as a couple of other minor bits and bobs...

Thanks for driving up from London to Julian's to meet me today Chaz, and great to meet you. I completely appreciate what the old girl means to you and be assured she'll be well looked after. And the name will stay with her, as well as the hungry cat sticker on the fuel filler. I'm here to stay...

Should be looking at Chas' truck tomorrow!

Thanks, this looks interesting. Could you message me with more details please? Sadly my message count is only at 13 (now 14?) so can't yet start a conversation. Interested in discussing further. I have actually decided not to go to look at the one I posted photo's of. I'm concerned it's a can...

What sort of guide price for the 100 did you have in mind? Also, assuming that it's the one in your signature, is the EGR likely to have an effect at MOT time? Please feel free to message me as it looks great.

Thanks for the replies so far! Firstly, Julian replied within a couple of hours - I'll go out out and buy something ornate with gold leaf before I mount it above the fireplace. Secondly, thanks for the hints as to where to look for rust - I'll go tomorrow to look at it and upload some more...

No - don't thi k the chap who bought it is an lcc.net user - besides, I much prefer the look of an 80 I think, quite like the live axels and didn't really need the future AHC hassles. A decent 1HD-FTE is super expensive anyway. And I sold it for similar to what I paid for it; which I hadn't got...

Hi all, Looking for an 80 and have found a couple which looked OK from the outside but MOT history revealed a long and bitter battle with rust... As a former defender owner I am quite aware of what damage rust can do to a car, and I think I'm right in saying that in LCs body rust is a bigger...

Thanks for the quick reply Towpack.

Hi all, apologies for resurrecting an elderly thread, but I was wondering whether a 1994 ABS equipped manual 80 Series would have a VC? I've been looking online for hours and can't find a proper answer... Seems most of the mention of VCs are on Mud where all the cars were auto and no mention of...

Hi Ted, It’s in the photo attached. Normally that cut cable would go to the spare wheel with an adaptor on the end, to hold the wheel in place.

Nice - do you know if it’s the correct fitting for a 100?

Bumping this thread in case anyone has one of these available...

Hi, I’ve just purchased my first Land Cruiser. 2005 4.2td. I managed to get a very good deal on some slightly used BFG KO2s and the seller agreed to swap them on for me - including the spare. Unfortunately, the spare wheel carrier assembly was completely seized and he had to cut it off to get...

Well I have just got home with my LC! Gunmetal grey, 55 plate, 136,000 miles, and just about everything still working. Drove it back up from Devon to Bristol and got a computer reading of 29.9mpg over the journey. Very comfortable and quite happy to sit at 75/80 - surprising turn of speed when...

These are some great replies, thanks a lot everyone. Some responses to a few points raised... and I was wrong. This post isn't shorter at all. As far as the comparison to a 120/150 goes, obviously I've asked on a 100 Series forum so am going to get an inevitably biased response - but I've...

Hello knowledgable people... I've just posted an introduction in the usual place. Medium time lurker, finally signed up! After a recent stream of Audi/BMWs and getting my 4x4 fix from work trucks, I've decided to sell my 330d and look for a late 100 series to hopefully enjoy for many years...

Hi everyone. I've been a lurker here for a few months and am hoping to take the plunge soon on a 100 Series LC. Currently driving a BMW F30 330d, and it just isn't quite cutting it for me... Having read every interesting looking 100 series forum thread back to about 2012, I thought I might as...
