    New company car

    Morning all, Have verbally agreed a new job with which will be provided a new car. My immediate requirements are that it is a LC150 (joke), seriously a V70/ Passat/ Mondeo/ Accord/ (not French) estate as it has to be a family load lugger as well as a decent mode of mile munching for me. Any...

    Parcel Deliveries

    Some advice or pointers please. I've sold something on eBay, a child's Isofix style car seat and need to get it to Belgium (?? yes Belgium). Parcelforce is very expensive but seems to be the cheapest of what I can find. Any other suggestions? It's about 10kg when packed. Similarly the roof...

    HTC phones

    Hi All, Not as regular a visitor as I used due to demise of LC120, but I'd value a collective opinion on HTC phones. I've become a bit of a fan and can't decide (1) Android vs Windows (some models are Windows OS) and (2) which of the Wildfire, Desire, Desire S, Desire HD etc etc to think about...

    Compressor/ jump starter

    My crappy little Silverline compressor/ jump start thingy has expired. I dismantled it the other evening and it's so shitty I have no idea how it has survived the 3 or so years I have it. The piston/ cylinder makeup is laughable but heck, it did work if very noisy. Anyway, I want a replacement...

    Garmin nuvi 765

    Got a Garmin 765 as part of the deal with the XC90. It's semi-fitted and come s with some loom kit to wire it in permanently and seems to do the trick. I'm new to the Garmin sat nav thing and was wondering does anyone have any comments on the 765, good or bad. Or software to load into it that...

    Defecting?

    :oops: Chaps, (and ladies), I've sort of defected. Since the 17/12/10 smash, I've been on the hunt for a replacement LC5. Plenty in UK (mainly England) and a significan propostion are overpriced. However, given my own personal circumstances (i.e. mainly work and income, or the lack of it at...

    Wanted: LC120, LC5

    As it says. I'm on the hunt for a LC5 120 series. I've reached agreement today with ins company on the last 120 written off on 17th Dec last. Hopefully will have a cheque this week. (I've actually made £1,700.00 despite having it for nearly 2 years and clocking up £40k miles!). Diesel, auto...

    Oh dear, not good...

    :thumbdown: Well, at 0700ish this morning, en route to collect my mother and continue on to a family friend's funeral, I bounced my LC off a very hard wall and pretty much destroyed the front N/S coner. :angry-screaming: The wheel is off, drive shaft broken, where ironically I was intending to...

    fuel filter

    :o Was just looking in the manual for something the other day and came accross the bit about draining water from the filter when the light comes on. Hasn't happened yet to me, thinks I to myself. Surprise surprise, today it came on! :thumbup: Managed to get some diesel too, at 116.9p. Not bad...

    Age old topic about coolant

    I need to do a coolant change in RAV4 and LC120. This is about 20l of the stuff. Lindop just quoted me about £120 for 4 x 5l containers of the pink super long life stuff. And I can't even remember if that includes VAT. Holy crap. Is this for real or is there anywhere else that does a similar...

    Oil seal replacement advice please.

    Is there anyone on here who has replaced either or both oil seals on the output (drive shaft) side of the front diff? I have a leak on at least one seal that I noticed a few days back. It seems to be consistent with the extreme cold for whatever reason. Anyway, had a look through the repair...

    Made myself useful tonight

    :thumbup: Arrived home tonight at about 1800 to find a flatbed Iveco, 3 or 4 tonnes I suppose, with a twin axle trailer, stuck on 'our' road. He had just lost grip and finally ground to a halt at our entrance. We are very rural and our road is never gritted. I stopped and asked him what was what...

    Timing belt replacement

    :thumbup: if anyone is interested in a blow by blow description for the replacement of a timing belt on a 120 D4D, please reply and I'll knock something up. No photos though and they'd be of little use anyway, given that the space is fairly limited at the front of the engine. Words will have to...

    Mobile phone aerial query

    Just changed from Vodafone to 3 for our two personal phones. However, in wife's RAV4, the 'tax disk' holder type aerial that I had fitted and was running very nicely with Vodafone, doesn't seem too emanoured with 3; i.e. little or no reception when reception is clearly available on the phone...

    Power steering system rattle

    I've a bit of steering rattle in my 120. I'll try to describe it as a rattle that, when driving over say, a cobbled type surface, in the straight ahead position, i.e. with no power steering load on the rack, I can feel a bit of rattle at the base of the steering column. Or it feels like it is...

    Front wheel bearing replacement; an illustrated guide

    Well, as the title says. It all started by a noticable grumbling sound coming from the front O/S wheel a few weeks back. I knew when I bought the LC that this wheel bearing had already been replaced so this made me somewhat suspicious. :?: :?: Anyway, after a bit of consultation with Bob and...

    Trying to buy tyres woe...

    Well, where do I start? To puttis in perspective, I live in Northern Ireland, which, apparently to some retailers, might as well be in Outer Mongolia, despite being a part of the UK. :( One would reasonably assume that in this day and age, and in the current recessional climate, that tyre...

    Good afternoon

    :) Afternoon all, I have ventured over from another similar Forum to see what's going on here. Lots more by the look of it. ;) I have a March 2004 LC120 LC5 with 79k miles on the clock. In the last 12 months of ownership I have replaced an oil seal (that was leaking before I got it) and...
