No its very apparant to everyone in the vehicle. I will try what you say. It seems to be an airlock but I wonderd if a valve or a thermostaic linked to the cabin heating might be the fault.

When I push the accelerator pedal I can hear water sloshing around, engine temperature is solid but heater is variable. Whats the fault and cure?

Looking for another MK1 Pajero

i WANT AN OLDER VEHICLE TO USE ON THE LAND THAT DOES NOT MATTER. MY LANDCRUISER HAS ONLY DONE 58000 BUT USES THE HDC WITH LOW RANGE AND ABS TO CONTROL ON STEEP HILLS BUT ITS NO WHERE NEAR AS GOOD AS THE OLD MK1 PEJERO WITH ITS FRONT, CENTRE AND REAR DIFF LOCKE AND VERY LOW RANGE NO Brakes...

Yes I have used it but its just not low enough like the old Pejero. With that you only need engine breaking .

I have used an old Pejero on our steep land and its been fantastic having front, centre a rear diff locks with an extremely low gear for steep down hills. I recently purchased a 2004 Pejero 3.2 BUT the gear ratio is so high even in its lowest setting its not safe on steep fields. I have a...

Well I went for some 265/65R17 112T OWL TL Cooper Discoverer AT3 4S just over £100.00 each, not as aggressive as KO2s but good winter rating and a lot less money. 2019 tires but that should not be a problem.

Looking to put new tyres on but I cannot find 265 65 R17 only 265 70R 17. I would like 265/70/17 BF/Goodrich A/T K02 . Will the 265/70/17 BF/Goodrich A/T K02 fit the stock wheel? Does it increase the MPG? Any alternative suggestions, I need a reasonable all season tyre but not extreme of...

These Toyota models are a real mystery one for sale here in the past TOP OF THE RANGE SOUGHT AFTER INVINCIBLE 201 BHP MODEL. 2009. 5 door, 8-seat Land Cruiser Invincible from June 2006 has Toyota's 3.0-litre D-4D engine and five-speed automatic transmission with more power and torque. Output...

I thought Toyota GB supplied it with the 201 bhp engine for a short time. There is no way the old man who drove this one owner vehicle would have had it chipped. MEMBER TONY "the chip version was done by Toyota GB with a Germany made chip called TTE , and not the Toyota factory in Japan " The...

It was standard for a short time with the LC5 and Invincible.

Well I know find I have purchased an Invincible with the 201 bhp engine. 2009. 32,000mls. I guess as they only did this version for a short time there can be issues? Any advice welcomed. Dave

Seems the Landcruiser is prone to wear the outer on front tyres no matter what the camber castor settings. Is there a tyre choice that avoids this problem? Anyone tried these: The Geolandar H/T G056 is Yokohama's highway terrain tyre, designed for a comfortable drive. It is best for drivers of...

Very high noise rating 76 db it does matter as I do a lot of motorway driving. As usual it's a trade off. Dave

Thanks for that. The tyres on the vehicle Kumho I think show wear on the outer on the front. It looks as though the tracking is out but am sure I saw somewhere that a change to another make like the 265/70/17 BF/Goodrich A/T K02 solved the problem? Still not taken delivery of the vehicle yet.

I might need new tyres shortly but see that a set can make a big difference to the mpg. I will be using the vehicle off road in Spain mainly so dry conditions. Any recommendations for a good quality tyre that gives a better mpg?

It was owned by an old guy who has given up driving, never been off road in fact I doubt that the low range has ever been engaged except by me today. 32000 miles in 10 years perfect.

Do you mend these motors Tony? Very little time to sort things myself. Got it for £20,000 but £4000 off for part x our old Hyundai, very pleased to get a good one at last.

I think I will get a main dealer to check for fault codes or its Springs all round. Know any good garages in the Manchester Buxton area?

Just purchased a 2009 invincible with 32000mls on the clock. The undersealing on these Landcruisers is just rubbish. Luckily there is only very slight surface rust showing. Knocked money off for undersealing and changing to springs but how quickly should the height adjust system respond? No...

What a nightmare it is trying to buy a decent car. They seem to be rust buckets even a 57000 mile 2007. Dealers are liars and so far I have spent £233 on deposits and inspections. It is going to be a long haul to get a decent one.

Wow £3000 for fitting new injectors etc. I will look for a vehicle that has had the injectors done already. Seems particularly important to get one with a full main dealer service history. I will keep looking.

Hi Simon any chance of the digital workshop manual? I am over in Kettleshulme trying to purchase a 2007 Landcruiser or later. [email protected]. Any advice is welcome. Dave

The car I'm looking at buying is a 2007 LC3 but I need to budget for Cam belt and water pump, shocks, brakes , injectors. Any idea of the sort of cost at an independant garage? Anyone recommend a garage near to Buxton ? Very impressed with the extensive knowledge of the members. Not to bothered...

It's interesting to find the Invincible has a rear diff lock but not all had the 201bhp motor. Keeping in mind the possibility of retrofitting springs and dampers and chipping I will have a look at 2007 + models to purchase. A lot of the vehicles are sticking with the dealers for a long time...

I use an old Pajero SWB on the land but its not safe the ABS is not working and is a pig to start. Maybe I should look for a SWB Landcruiser but not many about. That will be a separate vehicle to one I would use around Europe.

Caravan is only 1.5 tons but I might be up in the mountains off road in Spain so 4x4 ability is important. Also looking for something to use on our farm on steep ground but that would be a separate vehicle.

I understand that if the air suspension goes faulty the vehicle is not drivable so requires a truck to bring in and have it repaired. Any thoughts on getting an LC4 and getting the engine chipped to 201 bhp? Is the extra power worth it? Another thought is the traction system its all electronic...

I am looking at purchasing a Landcruiser for touring and towing a caravan. Some off road use but nothing extreme. Is it worth going for the version with the 201 bhp engine? Did the LC4 version non air suspension have this engine? If not how difficult is it to replace the Invincible air...
