I'm putting my 50th up for sale. It's number 118 - There was 192 of these registered in 2001 and there are currently only 112 - mine is number 118. If you've followed my threads, you'll know that I took it off the road a couple of years ago, to do the body (detailed on a previous thread)...

I've looked through a number of threads on the AHC suspension, but I still have a number of unanswered questions. I thought it would be good to have a step by step guide, for those who keep their trucks on standard system. Contributions would be really appreciated, particularly on TIS, on the...

Absolutely fed up with Toyo being so anti-customer. Last week I order a few trim clips and a couple of small shear bolts '][/URL] which somehow managed to come to £25 Then to add insult to injury, I needed to order a bit of AHC fluid to top up the reservoir - needed maybe half litre. So I...

Does anyone have a link for Techstream that doesn't require a product key or authentication? I've got the Mini - JCI lead, but bought it so long ago, that I can't find the disk that came with it (I don't have any computer with a cd / dvd drive anyway). I only need to set up the AHC on my 100...

I haven't looked at the LC for a while, but it's almost been ready to fuel and start for a couple of months now. The last thing that I need to do is to connect an engine earth strap. I've taken such a long time to get this all finished that I've forgotten where it goes. '][/URL] Any ideas...

I've looked through various threads and the FSM and I think I have a problem... in taking my suspension arms off, the torsion bars were separated from the torque arms (the housings with splines that attached to the lower suspension arms). I've made the beginner's mistake of cleaning off the...

Has anyone else noticed or is it a browser thing? Suddenly there are no euro pricing shown against each part. These were never exact, but did give an indication. Flying blind now :-(

Got the head off my 100, and noticed uneven colouring on the camshaft bearings - no scoring and they all feel smooth enough. But to be on the safe side, I'll order a new set from the stealer and get the camshaft checked. Having read a bunch of threads about folk changing their BEB's I decided...

Does anyone know of an electrical wiring Dia for earlier LC100's? Although the one in the download section say's that it's 1998 - 2007, it's actually from 2004 onwards :-( From what I can see it's also for the petrol car?? If somebody has the earlier EWD can we get it loaded to the download...

As per the title, I struggling to comprehend the removal sequence for the bolts on the camshaft. Looking at the FSM on page EM24 it shows a sequence with 14 bolts shown, but a further 12 arrows that have no numbers shown - which is really strange...

guys, I remember a couple of years ago, somebody posted a thread with pics of a cylinder head being taken off a 100 series. The cross hatching (honing) was still very visible on the bores. The thread mentioned that it took two to lift the head off. Ring a bell? I've been searching for the...

Gents... I've removed injector seats before, but this time 5 of them seem particularly hard to pull out. I've tried and M8 threaded rod that cuts a slight thread into the soft material of the seats and then using a kind of slider hammer arrangement, I've tried to pull them out. On the...

It's been a number of years since I've done this job, so I thought it would be useful to detail it with pictures etc which might be useful for anyone doing the same for the first time in the future... (thanks to Karl for clarifying a couple of technical points that i was unsure on): Anyway...

I want to fit the later all chrome radiator grille on my 2001 Anniversary. Is this possible? There's one listed on ebay, but the seller says is only for 2005 - 2007 http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/161541006210?_trksid=p2055119.m1438.l2649&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT Has he got it right? From the...

Do you ever realise that you've gone a bit too far (when it's too late)? If you've followed previous threads, you may remember that I had planned to sell my 100 a couple of years ago and put it into a local bodyshop to sort out Tesco car park dinks and scratches etc. Didn't get round to...

I'm looking for the software / app for running the MINI VCI FOR TOYOTA TIS Techstream - before buying one. Want to check neutral pressure on the AHC. Is this standard OBD software?

Stripped the truck down ready to fit new drop links front and rear, polypro bushes on trailing arms, new front wheel bearings and outer CV's (which have been clicking for a bit - or so I thought). Anyway turns out that it's one of the inner CVs that is nailed :-( Milner's don't seem to do...

Guys, I'm looking for an idiots guide to setting my torsion bars up. A few years ago, I got Martin to regass my spheres thanks to Mr. Rubie replaced virtually all bushes, joints etc on the drive train. I'm just about to replace CV joints, front discs, bearings, some drop links and trailing...

I'm looking for a member based in Wales where I can ship a couple of small LC bits. To explain... I've been trying to make a purchase from a supplier in the Mid-West U.S. strangely they ship to Ireland and Wales but not the UK (thought Wales was in the UK - but there you go). I'll get it...

When I got my 100 a few years ago, it had big blingy bull bars and side steps in chrome which went in the first few days. Looking at Andy's new truck, I'd like a set just like that: http://www.landcruiserclub.net/forums/showthread.php/49819-My-100-series Any ideas?

Anyone interested in a joint purchase to hopefully reduce the cost of shipping? I'm going to order a full carpet front and rear section, plus the cargo area and the bit on the inside of the tailgate, plus sound proofing underlay: http://www.all-car-carpets.com.au/ The prices come out at...

NOT SURE HOW TO DELETE - BUT I'VE FIGURED IT OUT :-) I've been trying to upload a pdf pic of my proposed new plant... but couldn't upload a pdf on the original thread - anyone know why?

I incorrectly bought an OBD II lead for my Mini Cooper D '08 and I think it should have been EOBD II. I've searched an there are more threads than you can shake a stick at for OBD & OBD II etc. often for 120 series. What I'm trying to understand is whether the leads I have will work on my...

Thought this would be interesting: http://www.fuer.es/images/1HD-FTE%20Engine.PDF Pretty interesting to see the differences and explanations by Toyo as to why.

Guys I'm trying to source a pair of batteries for the LC but having a mare - I have the battery type for the RHS battery but not the left (250 / 334 90AH 830 CCA). I chucked the original LHS battery some time ago not realising that the batteries should be the same spec both sides (probably the...

Guys I hope this doesn't sound too cheeky. But Karl's helping out getting my Alternator sorted, in the meantime the 100 is sat on the drive looking a bit sad. I bought a couple of Fiat 500 Classic Gearboxes and a Starter motor off fleabay expecting to go down in the cruiser and pick them up...

I've seen these for sale in Aus, properly moulded (but pattern) carpets. Shipping kills it unfortunately! Any ideas, are there pattern carpets made over here?

Guys I think I know the answer to this... my wife reported the car being sluggish to start earlier and for some reason the diff lock light illuminated, so she left it on the drive. When I got home, I got in and it very nearly didn't start, but when it did, all of the lights on the dash stayed...

I thought this might be an interesting thread for other LC owners, since the stupidly high cost of fuel impacts Cruiser owners more than most other drivers: As many know I've been producing my own Biodiesel for the last more than five years. When I started it was still a largely experimental...

My LC has been away for over a month in the body shop. Every couple of years I put my cars in the shop to sort car park dents, bumper scrapes etc. I did say there was no desperate rush, but didn't have a month in mind though - still they're pretty good at what they do and the price is good...

Just finished (well almost) building a 126 based Fiat 500 engine for my 1971 classic 500. We got it started yesterday on the bench, without the exhaust. Soooo cool! Should be good for between 42 - 50 BHP (up from 17 in the standard car). Take a look: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=npZO2Z_3ubQ

My 100 series is in the body shop having bumper scrapes etc taken out. I'm looking for a pair of rear quarter panel body mouldings. Doesn't matter what colour as i plan to paint them to match existing. Thanks

many will know that I supply centrifuges for filtering veg oil and biodiesel to sub-micron levels. I've also posted in the past about fitting one of these to my 100 series (i've shipped a lot to the U.S. and Canada which have been fitted on large diesel 4 x 4's) I've never really promoted them...

Anyone getting the same problem? I can still log into toyodiy, but when I click into a particular section I can't see the images of the actual parts. I'm on holiday at the moment so I'm tethered to my iphone would this make a difference?

Guys There's a product called powershot 2000 that is designed for diesel cars (adds about 30% more power or fuel efficiency - you can take it either way - I'd go for the power). Anyway a guy from Bulgaria who's buying some stuff from me has one (it's new from the states - he bought 3 but then...

I know this subject has been done to death and of course any LC owner would clearly support their preferred choice, but I could help but share this one as it's from the Financial Times (linked from Overland Cruisers): http://www.howtospendit.com/#!/articles ... domination I've always heard it...

Anyone know if these are the same? I can easily get a 2nd hand replacement 80 series ignition, but will it fit my 2001 100?

Guys, your help please! the cam rod in my ignition barrel has snapped. This happened on my previous V8 too, but I was lucky enough to be able to remove the broken cam! This time it's managed to wedge itself down into a void and nothing that I do seems to fish it out! I've tried to remove the...

What do you think... 2001 Anniversary on Ebay 130K mile and they want a £22K for it. :lol: :lol: :lol: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ... 056wt_1189

Got a 'Power Heater' on the TD LC. Didn't have it on the V8. It sends the revs up when the car's cold, so I never use it. Any ideas what it does, how it does it and why?

for the last nearly 10 years I've had 2 100 series - V8 & 4.2 TD 50th Anniversary. I've been a member of both forums for some of that time too! The 4.2 is going... fancied a change! My three oldest boys are all petrol heads and have been goading me towards a tourareg V10 TDI with 553 FT/lbs of...

Guys It's time for a change, so I'm going to sell the LC in the next month or so... When I sold my previous 100 about 3 years ago, I made the mistake of accepting an offer from a wide boy trader off Ebay just an hour after listing it . After it went I was inundated with enquiries. This one...

Service is due again! I've noticed that most oil brands have increased in price by some way, but gone down from 5 litres to 4. In the 1HD FTE its nearly 12 litres to fill which is three cans, plus filter, flushing oil etc etc. Anyone recommendations for an oil that's good quality without...

http://www.australianimages.com.au/conversion/ Anyone fancy it?

Guys I took my car to a local test station yesterday and as you'd expect with all the unnecessary jobs I've done on her, she passed with just an advisory on a windscreen chip (it's a big bit of glass and you can't notice everything 8-) . Anyway, looking through the inspection window I saw...

Guys Decided to overhaul my suspension before the spheres got too flat and ruptured. So I opened the bleed valves on the four spheres and the main accumulator. The spheres where a little stiff (well they have been on the car for 10 years), but using a 37mm thin jawed adjustable they came off...

Guys! I'm looking for replacement mouldings for my truck, either serviceable 2nd hand (would need all clips) and no damage or new. Any ideas? Thanks

Guys Just been looking around one of the Land Rover forums and thought you might find this thread amusing: http://www.landroveraddict.com/smf/inde ... #msg369850

Does anyone have any experience with Centrifuges. They are fitted to Landrover 2.5 diesels out of the factory, they are the perfect way to keep oil clean. The soot that sends your engine oil black, even at very low micron levels is abrasive and contributes to engine wear. Using a CF in...

Has anyone heard of rotor type centrifuges fitted to a Landcruiser? This would be for removing the carbon that quickly blackens engine oil within a diesel engine and therefore requires fairly frequent oil changes...
