    For Sale Land Cruiser 80

    Owned by me for over 13 years this is no ordinary ‘80’ and it is only being sold due to ill health. Please note, this car is originally from the UK and is right hand drive, presently it is registered and insured and being used in Spain, to re-register back into the UK would be a breeze as it is...

    Fire risk!

    I was connecting an accessory today to the additional fuse box I fitted in the driver's footwell. Just by chance I noticed the flasher unit looked a little distorted? Pulling it out I was surprised to see that a hole had been burnt through the outer casing! Given this is an area full of...

    Wanted

    As above for my 94 80, the badge 'LAND CRUISER' that is on the tailgate. The sun here in Spain has eaten mine. I tried polishing it with some kind of polish I found in the workshop however, I have a sneaky feeling I used a brillo pad instead of a sponge to apply it? :think: Must be in good...

    UK Land Cruiser traveling through Spain?

    On my way back from a physiotherapy session week before last, I saw a dark coloured 80. It was kitted out for off road travel, I caught a glimpse of the UK registration plate, but will not mention it here though. It was travelling from Aguilas (more or less where I live) towards Lorca, so who...

    Happy New Year!

    Given the lack of bandwidth here in this area of Spain I thought I would 'get in' early before pretty much all the comms go down at midnight. So, as per the title, Happy New Year to all members and staff on Landcruiserclub.net. Regards Dave

    1994 Landcruiser radio.

    Hi all as above, the radio is the only part left working of the OE double DIN stereo in my 80. Mine has the earlier 12 valve engine and of course the earlier dashboard. As I gather many have pulled their system in favour of the double DIN touch screen, I wonder if anyone has kept their old...

Initially it looks like you have but when you try to do anything there is a message saying you need to log in to do whatever. I automatically remove the tick when logging...

    Under bonnet and general soundproofing.

    The soundproofing under the bonnet of my 80 has now turned to dust which seems to be the norm for these vehicles as they age. Has anyone sourced a new one that has not cost their first born, or purchased something that is fire resistant and good at keeping noise down? Whilst at it I plan to...

    PayPal alternatives?

    After recent health issues I have found that living in the campo (countryside), and some distance from town have found access to the bank to sort transfers and anything to do with paying bills a little awkward. I can of course call on friends but as I have been 'out of action' since the...

    Speedometer compatibility?

    Many may have seen my wanted adverts for a speedometer? I have seen a few about but they are a bit pricey, but I have seen versions cheaper for the 95 - 97 models, anyone know if these later versions will fit my 94 model? To clarify I only need the speedometer head and not the complete...

    ABS light bulb inquiry?

    Someone asked about taking the ABS bulb out and it was queried that it was part of the cluster and not a separate bulb, damned if I can remember the thread, anyway it is a typical bulb along the bottom row like all the rest. Regards Dave

    Classified or Wanted?

    I am still looking for parts for my 80 and have had little response. I and am unsure if people are put off by these relativity small parts that need to be posted to Spain, although I have (well think I have) a good honest reputation and have been around for awhile and of course pay up front...

    So you want to live in Spain and bring your 80 with you.

    Bringing a RHD car into Spain is pretty straightforward....well it was before Brexit, so check out the maximum amount of time allowed before you MUST matriculate (import), it was around three months at one time but the rules change here based on direction of wind and other such things that no...

    Replacement ariel mast.

    So in my quest to remain active I decided to fit the new ariel mast I got from the 'Wallapop' app here in Spain, unsure if it has reached the UK yet but basically a low budget eBay, where there is a price and often the seller will take a lower offer. I got the new mast for the equivalent of...

    Another FSM gone missing!

    A few months back I 'had' 26 factory workshop manuals on a separate drive and I lost one, I have no idea where? So, I gave out a shout on this forum and a kind soul (Thank you) sent me a copy of said manual, so my collection was complete once again. Tomorrow I am going to fit a couple of the...

    FSM Handbrake diagram is wrong!

    I noticed an error in the FSM for the 80 handbrake and had contaminated Chris's thread...sorry Chris. So a new one because there has been so much written about the 80 handbrake. When you look at the FSM diagram of the handbrake shoes it should be pointed out the pins for the hold down assembly...

    Virus lockdown.

    Just a note to say I wish everyone well and to stay safe. Here in Spain we have been in lockdown since the middle of March and it has become a pain to say the least. My business is closed and car repairs are not considered essential, so I am dead in the water. Of note, last night a friend...

    Rear suspension rubber.

    Last year sometime I was turning a sharp left and felt/heard a clonk and could have sworn I felt some rear end steer, I was on my way to do some trails with @Rodger and fully loaded. I pulled over and in the dark looked all over the rear suspension, nothing broken and all looked good, the 80...

    Rear arch repair parts?

    AC cut out switch info.

    Simple tip.

    During my preventative maintenance shedule, I am replacing all rubber pipes in the cooling system and some metal components as well. My rear heater pipes had been bypassed when I purchased the car, later I removed the heater, I thought I would remove the two metal tubes used to direct the...

    Helping the NHS flounder.

    Worth checking this pipe.

    Today I was getting on with putting my PM parts on, moving the power steering resovoir out of the way of cam belt change, I unclipped the gravity feed pipe. Where the clip holds the pipe is a bend, once released I could see the pipe was cracking and damp. Keeping in mind the pipe moves with...

    Here's a good one.

    Like all garages there are good and bad. A customer of mine does his own oil changes and easy stuff, but calls me in for anything more, brakes ect. Friday he has a smell of diesel, opens the bonnet and can see a wet area around one of the injectors and can see a pipe is missing. So he stops...

    Ridiculous idea.

    A little excitement this morning.

    As I live on the coast it is the obvious place to take 'Cookie' my little dog for a walk, so each morning about 06.30 we follow a campo trail down to the beach, as she chases rabbits I am having a whinge to myself about my painful foot but we both need the exercise. On the beach I normally sit...
