I purchased a pair of gull wings from "the land crusier company" in Australia. They apparently fit 100/105. They were supplied promptly. However... the mk1 versions I got needed a lot of rework to bend the doors to suit. The flat panels didn't sit correctly. I wish I spent a little more for...

Unknown currently. Likely to be a compromise, comfort, size, practicality, reliability and capability. Isn't it always. I don't have the space or equipment for a MOG or Lorry based platform. We shall see.

Its a hard decision but life changes mean I need to sell "Thomas", and yes I know I may regret it in a year or so, but we will be funding a new build, that we hope will gives us the adventures we seek. Its listed on EBay - but would rather it went to a forum member so i can keep up with his...

Interesting reading this. Surely post turbo is safer if the sensor was to deteriorate and, your "normal temp" is your normal temp where ever the sensor positioned. One would then monitor drift from there?

Just renewed mine with formally APlan now Howdens, underwritern via markerstudy. Only 13% up from last year, considering market average is near 52% increase, didn't think too bad with all my mods declared.

BRAVO. nice trip and a great way to distract me from the magnolia office walls. Look forward to hearing more around a campfire soon. Now where's my passport.

@pugwash i didn't have the nav unit. Old dash syle with pocket and tape deck with CD changer. This android unit has worked well for me.

Selling my Bundutec Bundutop king size. Arguably one of the best tents on the market. Electric open and close, press a button, 19seconds and it's up. 10cm mattress. Keep bedding inside. Usb charging points. Built in light. Has a 315w solar panel on the roof. Telescopic ladder and comes with the...

Home safe. Thanks to all for the help and to James for stopping when he saw me road side. Any recommendations for alternators? Can you get waterproof ones for the 100? Is this advisable. Also was there anything I could have done to protect the one I have.

We have decided to sell our Bundutop only due to as a family we have outgrown it. This is the kingsized version or XXL It's listed on Ebay but will offer as a package to forum members for £2850 total cost new >£4k Nearly 3 years old, all works as it should, recent fabsil treatment. I have...

Is there a chicken route?

Your first post states you purchased a HDJ100 and you ask if this is petrol, @Shayne then provides you clarity that this is the diesel variant. But you still stand resolute, being quite astute, that you knew it was a petrol from the advert and engine noise. Yet this is contradictory to the...

How does one buy a car and not know its fuel type? As for the stereo upgrade, depending on the dash style the integration of ac controls may complicate the process. The search function will be your friend.

The Wages of Fear on Netflix has a number of cruisers in it but, it has a terribly embarrassing cruiser moment in the first pursuit.

Welcome sounds like you are well on your way to a nice build and adventures. I am nearly there with my hundy too.

In case anyone else was wondering, I knew it would be tight, but the Eezi awn K9 under rack table slide and obvious table does fit under the slimline 2 rack on 100series. I did need to hash together a way to mount the lockable clasp, but so far so good. I think I will slide in a couple of...

Welcome. There will be a few other early 100s there too.

So I went with a 10.1inch Eonon unit which seemed to have great reviews. So far so good. For £20 I might see how good the OBD reader, is even though its a 2001 and £40 for the DAB+ module. Anyone know of an mOBD2 Bluetooth unit with no password?

Thanks. Will have a look at them. Not decided on a model yet.

Reply received and returned the information.

I used the contact form on their website through the "save my space" button. Will let you know if I hear anything back.

As per my OP, not after a tesla conversion, but thanks.

I have a tablet that I use to support navigation, POI investigation and children entertainment. I want something as a back up nav, mirror my phone to find that illusive late night camp spot, with an adjustable screen to help with glare, that will belt out the JedWoods hits (silence is bliss )...

As per title, looking to update the on board tape deck. Has anyone dropped in either a single din or double din unit with a 9"+ halo/floating screen. Particularly fouling controls or dash shape. Not after a tesla style dash remodel. Something like this.

I was a member a while back, primarily to get access to Trail Wise mapping and it was useful, though you still have to check with the local authority as to the legalities of the byways you plan to use. There are alternatives worth exploring before GLASS. When COVID hit and we all had to stay at...

@Gav missin still keeping the LC for a while yet. If I get a lux it will be a work DD for a few years first.

Almost everytime you try to contact a big company you now are automaticly greated with default "we are experiencing high call volumes at the moment... blar blar blar..." Well if you didn't f*king run your call centres so lean, move services overseas, get your resource allocation so wildly...

Thanks for the recommendation. Currently watching the latest expedition overland series, Africa, some folk have the most amazing adventures (and understanding wives). Will add it to the list.

IMHO ive used 80's 3 times now and only had good service from them. Twice mail order and once I drove to collect. Parts were as requested and delivered promptly. I didn't even think to ask for photos in advance. Trusted a business to honour the expectation.

As a frequent traveller for work, I rely heavily on Google lens in Google translate (no need for a picture it does it live as you scan across the page) and the DeepL. This soft AI I can be on board with.

Somewhere, someone has just fallen on their sword...

I got some from Cromwell that had a reverse thread cut inside that effectively cut into the bolt/nuts. I'll try to find a link or photo. Where are you based?

FSM = factory service manual.

Have you pulled the actuator to see what it does when you push the dash switch? I've not had an issue (touch wood with my CDL) but have been through issues with my rear and went through a methodical process of elimination, sound like you're doing the same. Sounds like the dash switch is OK...

Anyone on here? It's clean.
