I moved the cruiser yesterday to do some work on the RAV. As always cracked with a flick of the key. However, when i came to move it back later on it cranked for a while without firing - just like if an immobiliser was on. I never use the large key fob and buttons to lock it, just the key. So...

My Mini VCI lead just packed up - don't know why. Lights up but no longer being recognised by the virtual machine on my mac. has been working fine for the last 18 or so months. Do you have any experience with VXDiag VCX Nano? Will be run using a virtual box or VM Ware fusuon on a mac. Has...

In case this has not been covered here. This video seems to distill a lot of information into a simple format, and there is a web page with the relevant cheat sheet. Going to run through for mine later tronight. AHC Info - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club]

As some of you will know I was itching to get another manual 80 series Landcruiser. I’ve been searching and had a look at a few “poorly” described trucks. The other night I noticed a 100 series for sale. I had not really considered a 100 thinking an 80 was the thing for me as it thought I...

Am selling the cruiser per my other posts. But last night and today it was as always cruiser to the rescue. My daily driver is a high miles golf tdi which has been very reliable since i have owned it. Until last night when the fuel pump decided enough was enough. Nothing to hint a problem...

After nearly 6 great years it's time for me to offer up the truck for sale. Up until February it was my daily driver. However I have hardly driven her in the last 3 months (12 miles!) and don't see myself doing much green laning in the near future. So rather than have such a great truck sat...

Hi all My pal has an R plate collie manual. A bit under a quarter of a million miles. makes a bad grinding sound when changing gear. if you put a bit of pressure on the gearstick when its being driven makes a loud wine. Pretty sure its not the transfer box. we've changed the gearbox oil...

Got a replacement rear locker from Karl (thanks again!) Works fine, fitting went well. Tried to engage it yesterday whilst out in the woods, and no amount of left or right turns would get it to engage, which prevented some of the more extreme things i wanted to do. I did a full circle on...

So last night i stayed in ShiTley in Yorkshire (intentional misspelling and sorry if you live there) at a birthday party and woke up this morning (having parked the truck up at 130 am) to find some ermmm ***sucker had smashed the front passenger window and had a rummage around inside. all they...

In case you haven't seen these... http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stor ... zone=PDPz1 £40 off right now so cheap for what they are. Picked them up today and one of the big torque wrenches (40 - 225 lb / ft) which seemed good value too.

In case you may not have seen this on You tube. It's a diesel HiLux - and the water is pretty deep in the floods in NSW June 2007... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQ6Z29wH ... re=related Guy is so calm on his way through as well. :shock:

HI All I have a big tirfor winch that runs a 16mm cable. Any ideas where i can get a snatch block for it - mosts of the ones i have seen have been a bit small. thank you. BTW - would it be a good idea to have a WANTED section in the shopping section?

Here's a quick write up for the forum. Interior light in the cargo area It was way too dark inside my truck. Having been in Julian's and been mightily impressed with the led's he had i found some superbright led's on ebay. Made a huge difference to the front and middle. Still left the boot...

Anyone any experience of these roof tents? http://www.brownchurch.co.uk/2001.html Seem ok being canvas, and pretty well priced compared to likes of howling moon etc. Just wondered if they would stand up to same level of use?
