No worries. just spoke to a guy at Jap spares who isn’t interested in taking my details in case he gets a knackered seat that he can cut out the heating pads. Bluntly told me he would only sell me a complete seat + VAT + postage. Four times the cost of the pads.

I do have leather seats so a good chance of wiring. who’s Higgy. Not me ?

Ah. I thought that might be the case. The mirror folding button is one that you can need to find quickly especially on dark country lanes. And it doesn’t light up Thanks

The problem I’ve been finding is that I only want to do the drivers seat. And, Im pretty sure I would be able to use the elements from either front seat. However, I have not come across a heated front seat with any warranty whatsoever south of £300. Thanks for the heads up about the wiring...

Morning all. Since buying my 07 SWB D4D I have only three issues only one of which is major. 1. ULEZ ☹️ 2. Wether or not the panel with the headlight height adjuster on should be illuminated when the lights are on ? 3. Not having heated seats. Has anyone retrofitted either S/H OE equipment or...

Hi Marty, I have a 2007 120 series Which I bought to replace a Defender 90. Apart from an issue with a steering linkage the LC has been amazing everything the 90 did off road ie from peg to peg and an armchair ride on the motorway. A dream. I hope you have a great season

If no luck with eBay you could get the motor rewound for less than that.

Hi it’s been some time and I thought I had already replied. The replacement part was actually found by my mechanic on eBay. Apparently there are a few adverts. Half of which don’t actually have the part, many more are pattern parts. This apparently was about the dearest but so far worth every...

Hi all, How time flies. It’s been almost 12 months since my last post. However, my 07 D4D (I think it’s a 120 series. Wo be nice to know if that’s correct) has been laid up for around 6 of those due to the steering seizing up. After reading a few different articles I decided to heavily...

Yes I have actually been written to twice. Both times I thought it was extremely helpful because at the time I had absolutely nothing to light the fire with. The man is just a wankhan. I live just outside the zone and work inside it. At £57.50 PW I won’t be able to afford to go to work. My 20min...

Hey Frank, Who do you use for a mechanic ?

I feel a bit out on my own as far as the LCC are concerned as it seems that I am the only member in my entire area. Twice I have asked for local support and it seems like there isn’t any.

Yes. As I said Jemca Toyota are my two nearest main dealers and the closest one wasn’t interested.

This combined with ULEZ I might have to slash my wrists.

And they wonder why the motor trade is on its Bumper.

Without a shadow of a doubt. However, I still need a reliable tech that’s not going to instantly try and sell me a new rack. I actually tried to ring Jemca Toyota earlier and as soon as I mentioned the year of the vehicle they weren’t interested.

Hi I have the same problem with my 07 D4D. After reading a couple of posts on here I lifted her up and changed the power steering fluid, bled the system, and soaked all ball joints plus steering column swivel joints in WD40. The results were amazing. Best it had been in my ownership. However...

Hi. Probably won’t upload any pics until spring / summer as at the moment the jeep is filthy ( worse as it’s black ). Would be handy to know a local grease monkey though as I do need a couple of issues looking at. Again if it were spring / summer I would be laying underneath it myself and I...

Hi all. I’ve just registered and need to introduce myself. My name is Martin and I run an 07 SWB D4D totally stock. I have owned this beauty for about 18 months and bought it to replace a 90 Defender. So far the Landcruiser more than stands up to the Land Rover. My plans for this jeep are to...
