    Diagnostic port not working

    I cannot get TechStream to connect to my 2004 UK spec HDJ100. I know my TechStream installation and cable are working because I can connect to my Lexus with it. I have been able to connect to the 100 in the past with the same software and hardware that I am currently trying with. I have...

    2004 Model CDL

    I have been reading some posts on IH8MUD that say 98 - 99 100's have the same CDL behaviour is 80's i.e. it automatically locks when you go into low range but 2000+ models have it so you have manual control. I know about pin 7 or removing the plug from the transfer case but it seems on 2000+...

    Centre diff lock

    I am pondering getting a 2007ish UK spec 120. The idea of a LC3 appeals because it comes with a rear diff lock rather than ATRAC. The few times I've seen ATRAC in action have left me underwhelmed to say the least. Now to the question, are the transfer box and centre diff lock independently...

    Torque settings in the FSM

    Does anyone know what the 1 at the front of the some of the torque settings in the brackets means? For example, the bolt that holds the lower ball joint on. My first guess would be single use but that is covered by a black diamond. Cheers Ian

    Steel wheels

    I have a set of 60 series split rims. The width and offset are perfect for a project I am doing however I don't want to run with inner tubes. Did the 60 come with normal wheels that were the same size as the split rims? Cheers Ian

    Another what's it worth thread . . .

    Time has come to part company with my green car. To be perfectly clear from the outset, there is not a straight panel on it. It is an off road toy that has met more than its fair share of trees etc. Some of you have seen it in action and know what it can do. It is a 1996 manual 80 Series...

    CV joint grease nipple
