    Does anyone know Where i would find the internal thermometer for the heater on my 120? The air blows cold when idling and warm when driving (got to be at 26+ to get it warm).

    After asking about clips for the door trim, my car has decided it wants more work doing on it…it wouldn’t start this morning and green flag’s agent said it was one of the batteries, as it jump started fine and the alternator was reconditioned last Jan. He advised to get the pair checked and...

    Steaming up when raining…

    I’ve noticed my car is Steaming up when raining…I’ve not looked at anything yet, but can’t see any wet patches in the carpets. Is it most likely to be the sunroof drains or are there other common areas to look at, and if so what? Not sure if it’s relevant but my car doesn’t have working air...

    Radiator leaking?

    Hi I’ve got a small drip puddle under the front of my car - looks to be the side of the radiator, and is wet with what feels like coolant. Does that sound right if it’s coming from this part, and is this a drain valve, so possibly not tightened with an Allen key or a seal? thanks

    Now, this might be completely normal as I've only ever towed with a manual before, but I moved my caravan from storage to home and then back. My Land Cruiser seemed to hold the gears a lot and sounded like it was revving higher when towing. Is this normal? With other automatics I've driven...

I’ve got a caravan (mtplm approx 1500kg) that has seen too much of the storage over the last year, so when we can get it out have plans of using the land cruiser to tow it. Mainly an hour or two of towing, with...

    Rear washer jet weak

    On my 120 the rear washer jet works, but takes a few seconds to start and is a trickle. Is this normal, and if not what could be the cause? I’ve only had the car a few weeks so it may just be normal. Thanks
