Fortunately they are going to drop off a courtesy car for me and collect and deliver my Cruiser to the body shop, a week Monday, so hopefully that will all go smoothly...but I wouldn't bet on it.

Yes, hopefully. Took it to Toyota yesterday and they read the code and told me what I had already told them when I arrived, it's showing code P0335, which is the crankshaft sensor. I'd ordered one in to their parts department last week at £155 and I'd already told them that if they get the same...

Where do you live? Not sure if it’s a problem in the UK.

It’s a 1KD diesel engine, the D4-D, it’s in Toyota this afternoon so I’ll let you know how it pans out

Hi, I've had an engine code come up since this problem started, P0335, my simple code reader says it's the crankshaft sensor. I've ordered one to my local Toyota dealer and it's going in tomorrow for a proper diagnosis and hopefully they won't find anything else and fit the new sensor for me...

I used to run a Porsche so I thought this was bargain....beats £853 for a new starter motor.

Hi, Update on the starting problem, went out this morning and read the codes from the ECU, came up with P0335 which is the crankshaft sensor. I'm ordering one tomorrow from Toyota at about £150, so it should be in stock next week when they look at it. Hopefully that's all it is as I can't afford...

Thanks. I'm going to just double check the connections again tomorrow, weather permitting.

New development today, the engine started but run rough for 2-3 seconds then stalled. It restarted but now the yellow engine warning light is on, so it's probably showing a code or three, I've got a simple code reader so tomorrow morning I'll nip out and see what is recorded. Once it settled...

Hi, I now have similar problem with my LC J150 as you had with your Suzuki, did you resolve your problem and how? Just curious to know the outcome, thanks.

Hi, does anyone know the part numbers for the Denso starter motor for the 2013 J150? There seems to be two different versions, a 10 tooth 2.2Kw warm weather version and a 2.7Kw 11 tooth cold weather version? Also where can they be purchased without going to the stealership, they want £853 for...

No, I haven't had one fitted yet, wading through all the choices is confusing so I will have to do a little research. Let me know what you decide.

Not sure if you can upgrade from a higher-spec model but I'm considering upgrading to one of the aftermarket head units that will fit in place of the original one, Halfords do them. They look good and have Apple Car Play and nav systems. I might upgrade some of the speakers at the same time.

Hi, any advice would be appreciated on why my 2013 LC J150 has developed an intermittent starting problem? It has the Optitron keyless system, but when I get in and press the start button the steering wheel comes out, the dash lights all light up as normal, but the engine just makes one clicking...

I'm no expert on HID lighting but a quick web search found a company called LED Light Street who give a technical description of what could be wrong with your HID lights, sounds like the ballast might be the most likely culprit, but you would have to do a bit of investigating for yourself. Try...

I don't know what's on my mat at home, like you I've no intentions of going to hell-hole London and I'm enjoying driving my LandCruiser around a wet and windy Cornwall, so Kahn can go and........well...you know.

Yes I will definitely be adding it to the list of complaints

I’m going to do that

No, that’s something else I’m not happy about, no paperwork for it, although they said it’s on the digital record. I’m confident they have put a new one in as it runs much better, although I know they have reconditioned ones, hopefully they didn’t fit one of them.

Hi I know its been a while but just a quick update on the fuel injector problem I had with my LC. I had to wait 3 weeks for my workshop appointment, dropped the car off and they gave me a hybrid Yaris courtesy car, which I thought was a brilliant little car. They ordered the wrong injector, so...

Thanks for your reply, I should have known that, the furthest north we got to on the east coast was the Daintree Rain Forest, Cape Tribulation, stunningly beautiful, Our last visit in 2016 got us from Margret River to Monkey Mia then to Exmouth /Ningaloo on the Western Cape, can’t wait to get...

Welcome! Sorry for my ignorance, especially as I've visited Australia twice, but when Aussies talk about the Cape, where exactly do they mean?

Hi MisterCruiser, there was more to the M-B story but I wanted to keep it as brief as possible, they had a farcical level of service and added incompetence to incompetence. They sent us out of their workshops multiple times in a dangerous and unroadworthy car. Yes, if your Toyota has less than...

My LC has 57,000 miles on it, and I know the injectors can fail, I watch Fourby4Diesel on YouTube. Sort of hoping the other three fail before the warranty ends. We don't use the main dealer anymore, the sales man even tried to rip us off when we bought the car, they're sharks and tell you...

Sorry for the late reply, had other issues. Well, we were heading out, in the E-Class, one winter evening 4 years ago to visit a relative and I was doing about 70 on a dual carriageway. As I crested a rise in the road I ran over something substantial lying on the road, which I didn't see till...

You're probably right, but I've got a warranty with them so I can but try. Do you think maybe I should unplug it and zip-tie it up behind the dash were it can't be seen? Think Toyota dealerships are are bad? I could tell you a true story about our local (Chester) Mercedes dealer and our E-Class...

Thanks, I've never even heard of that before, when I take it to Toyota on Thursday I'll ask them to investigate and see what they think it is. I'm not driving it at the moment as it's running rough.

I think I'll unplug it and drive it and see if the dash lights stay off, don't think it'll make a difference but it's worth a try.

I don't know, it disappears up into the dash, difficult to follow, I'll try and have another look today.

The photo above is the switch that is plugged into my OBD socket...any ideas why? Looked at the car today and couldn't see any obvious reason for the dash lights, but I didn't have much time so I'll try again tomorrow.

I have had the LC for about 5 months now and it's been faultless up till now. I bought it from an independent garage near Wigan but I had a full service/new cam belt fitted straight away at my local Toyota dealer, they inspected the car too as they were giving me a 12 month warranty and they...

I'll post a pic of the black switch that's plugged into the OBD tomorrow. Yes the amber check engine light is on, along with the 4LO (flickering) and the traction control light. We started the car on Monday and no lights came on so we took it for a fairly long drive (100 miles+) and everything...

I finally found the OBD2 socket today, was under my nose all the time. Its below the steering wheel but its got a small black switch plugged into it, which is in the ON position...any ideas what that is for? I pulled the switch out and plugged in my code reader and got the code P0203, checked on...

Thank you :thumbup:

Thanks, and I will. I like to learn about my vehicles and do what maintenance I can myself. I've got to know my Cayman very well over the last 10 years and intend to do the same with my LC. BTW my name is Karl too.:thumbup:

Thanks, I'll have a look tomorrow, I looked earlier but couldn't see it. The car is booked into Toyota as when I bought it the first thing I did was book her in for a full service and cam-belt change and that entitled me to a 12 month warranty, so hopefully it's covered for what ever they find.

Hi! Joined today, I've recently bought a LC 150 (2013 and just 50k miles) and love it. I'm very unfamiliar with this beast and I'm keen to learn, it's a very different vehicle to my previous daily, a Porsche Cayman, which I'm keeping, but semi-retiring. I've encountered a problem today, amber...
