On Car Car Nut's youtube channel, get a towel to soak up the drooling.

Thats a bind the 120 has just failed on emissions, circa 2.7 with a 1.2 limit. Its also got an exhaust leak so that needs doing whatever. Ran some Forte through the system and been giving it some beans for a few weeks to clean the crud out, which obviously hasn't done the trick. Have been...

ebay number 404117038099 2013 3.0 litre LC4 150 series, circa 69k miles @£15750. Is this right cos its seems cheap to me, too good to be true or have prices peaked and dropping?

Have polished the original headlights multiple times, but the fading of the plastic covers seems to be right through the top half. Full genuine Toyota replacments from Roughtrax would be the ideal, but they also list aftermarket replacement made by Depo for half the cost, it notes they don't...

Booked in later in the week for Aircon leak, you all know where it will be from, soon as i said what vehicle he knew why i was there, they had a much newer Shogun and Disco 4 in there for exactly the same issue, said the Disco was a pig of a job. They're going to diagnose and appraise first and...

Failed on emissions, only just but still a fail, the indy we use wanted to run some injector cleaner through it, no doubt half filling the filter with the stuff to give a good strong mix, which necessitated a new fuel filter which i authorised. Anyway she passed easily after that., with the...

I use this app for finding LPG suppliers, note just how many sites are showing no LPG, and if you click on those that are showing the last reported usage of those sites can be several weeks ago and i suspect almost all are out of gas now. Any thoughts as to why. https://autogas.app/

Got a paypal message via email regarding an annual payment, didn't recognise the name and just about to fire up Paypal and see what the heck's going on, quick look at other emails see its the annual supporters fee for this very forum. S'ok heart still ticking, as you were :sunglasses:

Daughter mentioned last night about her VED bill having risen by some £100 when she retaxed her car. Just had a poke nose on the .gov website, and sure enough she's right. The highest band now up to £585 if you pay the whole 12 months in one lump The highest band but regd before 23rd March 2006...

https://www.pistonheads.com/buy/listing/11721493 Note its on springs, standard in home market or been refitted.

Lucky escape with the Forester, pulled up at a roundabout and all of a sudden its pulling to the left, managed to get it onto a convenient triangle refuge sure enough flat front tyre, changed that for the as yet unused spare, dropped the tyre into the local tyre bay fully expecting it to be...

Ok the old girl flew through the MOT again today, with mentions of whole underside of vehicle covered in grease/waxoil (actually its a combination of Bilt Hamber and ACF50) :whistle: which i have no shame about, its if rust is mentioned i'll start to panic :icon-cry:. Ok so just wondered how...

Just been through the brakes as part of MOT prep for tomorrow, front inner pistons both sides needed freeing off, as last year, definately getting worse but haven't done bad over 16 years, should be ok for now but will get something done about them soon. I could get the present set refurbed...

Too easy to forget them, noticed the Forester heater wasn't as good as usual as we enter winter, whipped the cabin filter out and it was full of leaf and dust debris, vacuumed it clean for the time being took measurements and have a new one on order, then did the same with the 120 and that was...

I've been into rustproofing for a long time, used to be a waxoyler. I had a Hilux professionally treated, but in all honesty i can do a better job (especially considering the motor was spotless and only months old when i got it done) myself at less than half the cost. I used a lot of Bilt...

Toyota Maintenance is a regular youtuber who obviously by his name works on Toyotas, he's just published a new video on replacing airsprings on a Lexus GX470, which is a 120 with the engine we wish we could get here. Anyway, this video is the dogs bits, really clear photography showing every...

Just completed my annual full brake service, comprising of stripping out pads clean up, exercise the pistons in their bores plus lube up and reassembly...my indy bled the brakes out when it went in for MOT a few weeks ago and the brakes are superb. However, very glad i did the service because...

Until the last oil change on my 3.0 litre Diesel i'd been using Wix filters. Cold starts it always took a second or so for the oil pressure light to go out if the engine hadn't been started for a few days. Noticed that GSF sell Hengst H206W filters (GSF part number 120T00100) the larger...

Cruiser is in for MOT tomorrow morn, washed it yesterday including underneath, bit old fashioned me cos i believe its disrespectful to expect a mechanic to work on something dirty. Just gave the thing the once over and discovered a front inner CV boot has split, great timing that. Not sure if...

I started work in a tyre repair workshops as a lad, and still have an interest in tyres to this day. Reading back over some threads i see where several posters have had to scrap tyres prematurely because not repairable, well that may well be the case, but it might be the case that the tyre...

I run a set of these, roughly two years now. Winter rated (snowflake and mountain symbol stamped) all season AT tyres, and i'm very happy with them indeed on a 120LC5, the wet road grip in particular is superb, comfortable and quiet too. On Camskill they're £96.70 apiece at the moment, plus if i...
