How do you get the most of the old fluid out? I believe you will normally get around 2L out through the drain plug, but the gear box holds far far more than that, something like 6L off the top of my head. I guess... Drain it hot? Measure the amount drained and add the new fluid through the...

I have been carrying out some preventative maintenance on my 95 and yet again I have found the radiator partially blocked between the front and the condenser which you cannot see and cannot clean without removing the radiator from the truck. This is after two years, but only maybe eight days of...

I passed this onto Rob on his return from Mongolia, but thought as it's a rubbish day in the UK others might be interested in a read, I'm really thinking of heading to Tajikistan, (and the other Stans) just trying to work out how many days it would take each way to get there and back? 7 days...

How often do you change your coolant? I'm going to change mine after two years, is this over the top considering the Toyota (red) is meant to be long life?

Does the rear seat (middle row) split if so is it 1/3 2/3 or 1/2. Thanks.

What do you think this was bought for, why only five seats in the back and very poor use of the space? Why is it based on a 4.6T chassis when as it looks a 3.5T chassis would have been fine for the use and at far less cost new? Why even the 4x4 version? It looks an expensive conversion so...

Monitoring all the various "local" based LC "Clubs" it seems behind the scenes we cannot even agree on a name. Is this open for vote? or are we going to have two local forums / clubs? Is this even a Club? Whats wrong with joining ELCO and gaining all that knowledge the list has if it's just...
