Taken a while to post this - but a few weeks ago I drove home the 8-seater 80 I've been after for a while. Regular readers will probably recognise this truck! Very happy with it. Had been looking for an 8-seater to replace my 5-seater import, as I've got 4 children now - and last winter...

That's about it really. My current HDJ81 is only a 5 seater (are all the imports?). I've managed to accrue 4 children plus a wife so I now really need an 8 seater so we can all go out playing, I mean visit the in-laws, when the snow hits. I had originally thought I'd only accept a diesel...

As subject - I was in Park taking the H/L box out of high earlier when this briefly came on. Is it anything to worry about? (I find it easier to get into/out of H in park, then switch to neutral on the main box before putting it in low.)

Well, seeing as it seems to be customary, I thought I'd share that my 80 passed it's MOT a couple of weeks ago first time ... as it has since I got it. :icon-biggrin: As ever, though I got a shed load of advisories. I can't help but think my garage is in love with them - because I get so many...

You folk seem knowledgeable about importing/exporting of vehicles, so hoping you can help. My Mum's car (MX-5) was UK "born"/first registered (S reg I think). She exported it to France a couple of years ago, and it's now a French registered car. Due to my Dad's recent sudden and unexpected...

After a single one of these tyres for a spare - as I'm currently running without a spare, and would like to match my regular tyres. If anybody sees one available please let me know. Thanks, Piers

I finally got around to checking out my spare recently. Turns out that while I'm running 16" steelies on the truck, the spare is a 15" Toyota alloy. So, I'm after one 16" steel for my 80. Happy to pay, or happy to swap for the alloy (which comes with one free punctured tyre :D , but the...

Tried to start the truck up this morning, after having already driven for a while, and was greeted by no starter motor engaging, and smoke rising from under the passenger side of the bonnet - probably just behind the battery. I was in a bit of a rush and had to leave the truck, but will be able...

Got 100 yards yesterday early morning when all the lights came on on the dash - not flickering, but solid on and didn't go ff. Decided sod it and carried on going - 30 minutes drive in the dark, and 30 minutes back again in the dark, and only just made it home :oops: Anyway, I've checked all...

In the last few days my truck has taken to beeping when I kill the engine, and sometimes when I turn on the ignition. It's a weird beeping - high pitch and 4 quick beeps repeated a few times. Any ideas what's causing it?

Can someone let me know what I should be torquing my wheel nuts up to on my 80?

A long shot, but given I'm considering getting myself some new wheels along with Cooper Discoverer STTs I thought I'd check that no-one here has a set lying around they want to get rid of. I'm after 4 or 5. I'm currently running 285/75R16s.

Does anyone have experience of this lane vaguely near Corwen in N. Wales...

I'm currently running Mastercraft Courser MTs on my 80. However, they're not great on tarmac, and I'm toying with moving to some ATs. I do quite a lot of driving about on my fields - which are pretty boggy Welsh hills. Not mudbaths, but in places very, very squelchy grass (with puddles...
