New vs old. Old one been in for about 70k miles i think....it was time!

Yes, cost about £10 so worth the effort

On my 100. Pretty easy as long as it's not all rusted to cr@p. Remove 2nd row seats, pull back carpet and open it up

MOT on Thursday so setting the parking brake - again, and checking windscreen wipers…. Plus a new in-tank fuel filter coz I don’t think the original has ever been changed …

Not sure if you can get to this, but someone is working through a pump in order to get more oomph - might help you problem-solve though https://landcruiserclub.co.za/forum/viewtopic.php?t=90742

LC100 Factory Service Manual - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] Try that

And I’d be buying my oil from somewhere like Opie Oils where it’s cheaper and doesn’t come in the same can as the AHC fluid allowing to get (more) easily confused

To remove I simply knocked off the circlip then you can use a BFH to thum the old one out - not difficult at all actually. Beats me why Mr T don’t sell these as replaceable items. When I pressed in the new ones I didn’t have any instructions about lining up any marks, so here’s hoping…. When...

I bought 555 units online, always liked them and they get great reviews from guys like CruiserPatch. Got them from AutoDoc part number SB-3812 under £25 each, much beefier than oem. Edit - the lower arm ball joints are not sold individually by toyota. While i was in there i replaced the...

Hmm can’t seem to find that level of detail, I ordered mine using their defaults. Maybe engage with them directly to check compatibility?

from what I have found out, the UK-spec 100's did not have the cabin air filter installed from standard. I ordered a retrofit kit from the USA without realising that everything would be mirrored as it is on the right of the vehicle doh but I also think the unit is a different one as the...

Just did oil and filter, using Castrol Magnatec 5W40, will see how we get on. Decided to preserve the lower value for start-up protection, but for summer values in Europe I didn’t think the 30 was high enough….

Nice write up, thanks. Amazing how pulling one little thread costs the whole jumper

Morning all, busy replacing lower control arm bushes and ball joint - the bushes that go in the chassis have a specific alignment (white mark at the top, tabs horizontal). I notice the 2nd, in-arm bushing has a blue mark presumably also for alignment. Does anyone know if that mark also goes...

Resurrecting an old thread - anyone got plans that use the space you get with a 2nd row delete? I’d be keen to see what has been accomplished

I've seen what you're talking about on a 78 troopy in Oz - I think they came from the Netherlands so may be worth searching. I'll try find the name..

Replacing lower control arm bushes and ball joints - someone been there before and has left a mess. Inner CV boot clip is missing so I may end up having to sort all that too. Replacing under body covers which are now pretty fubar with ASFIR covers. Taken out 2nd tow seats, sources some...

Lol 2025 clearly I'm losing the plot, or my marbles, or both

Anyone heading to this in June this year?

Wow Byron you do have interesting challenges When next in Cape Town get one of these kits maybe? https://shopglobal.madmandevelopments.com/products/t1hdt

Alternatively check for binding brakes - I had this issue, calipers were seized up and once refurbished everything worked well and as expected. Oh and check the hand-brake too, those shoes can bind too.

Replaced mine with Terrain Tamer gear. Make sure to reinforce lower control arms. I also replaced upper control arms with nitrogear kit, and an EFS diff drop kit. Drives well and alignment is spot on, 40mm lift all round. Replaced the exhaust with a stainless 30mm unit at the same time. Now...

I have ‘sticky vane syndrome’ on my 100 series which is very frustrating and may lead to premature turbo failure. Unfortunately as it’s variable vane I can’t replace with a G-Turbo from Oz. So I need an overhaul. Been looking about and come across turbozentrum . Co . Uk. Anyone used them...

Long time Ben, so nice to hear from you, and see your 78 still happily delivering joy

Funnily enough it’s not that bad once you get your head around the wiring. A year on, some thoughts. 1. Being android-based it’s fairly extendable via Bluetooth or USB connection, so I’ve added a usb DAB Radio which is ok, plus I’ll be adding tyre pressure monitors. Strangely the Victron...

Thanks Jon, was an amazing trip, well worth the Covid I came back with ... here are a few extra pics.. apologies for any duplicates

Oil service plus lube service, got rid of the drive shaft clunk. MOT yesterday, straight through, not one issue. Very chuffed Building out the camping / touring set up now

I have a 10" Teyes unit installed. Got to remember that if you have a later LC100 you need so.dtbing that still allows control if the A/C - climate control stuff... other than the multi-step climate control stuff it works well, runs Android 10 happily, integrates with its own SIM card, has a...

Folks, you need to remember we're talking Zimbabwe here - nothing is simple, and the concept of a 'runner' is alien to the UK as are all the other blockers faced into there. If you're still battling ill put you in touch with a buddy might be able to help, otherwise hour runner will be the best...

What sad sad news. Fly high, Chas and mind the workshop walls. You'll be sorrly missed. Condolences to all who knew him, a real character.

Me too if I can get dates

Ooh some memories there. Nope, not the green one for me thanks

Very sad, deepest condolences to family and friends

I have those particularly but Halfords do similar - and 22mm vs 11mm lol
