I couldn't see the computer screen, any way it was in Portuguese. Lights are all still on and I just found out the radio is dead. I've checked all the fuses under the bonnet and will try the drivers side fuses tomorrow

When the problem started the 1 battery had 12.7 volts the other was about 7 volts. I just changed the bad one. I cant remember what I paid in the UK for the last time I changed both batteries but here the 1 battery was 198 euros.

Managed to get the car trailered to a local garage where the fuse was changed, what a horrible job! Car started first time but there was no reverse. They connected to a computer, tested all the other fuses. After disconnecting the batteries then reconnecting reverse was working. Car seems to...

That looks like my worst nightmare

I'm in Portugal at the moment, a lot warmer than the UK but very wet

AM1 & AM2 were both OK ALT was blown, have ordered one from Toyota. Can you tell me how I get it out. I understand there are clips and a screw to be released to be able to lift the top of the fuse box up to access the fixing screws on the fuse. I cant see how to release the clips. Do I have to...

Sorry, yes a multimeter

I have an ammeter so could you tell a wrinkly mechanic how you test a relay ???

Couldn't find the fuses mentioned, these are photos of the fuse box The lights work but not the front or rear wipers

Have not been able to get back to the car, It's a few miles away from where I live and no public transport. Hope to get there with a lift on Saturday, fingers crossed.

Instruments light up Glow plug lights up, I don't think it did before Have not checked the lights. I only changed the 1 battery because they are not that old, Exide.

Yes still my friend :) TBH I blame myself for not checking

I have 2005 3l d4d, had a flat battery, starter solenoid clicking but not turning over, and asked a friend for a jump start. I connected the leads to one of my batteries and my friend then connected his. Unfortunately he connected his the wrong way round. Immediately of there was a flash from...

Just bumping in the hope that someone can give me some info. I realised that my first post was a bit daft, Opening the side doors disabled the central lockin as it should, but if I only open the tailgate the locking and the alarm are not disabled. I need to know where the sensor is on the...

I've had a fault develop on my central locking on my 2005 D4D. When I unlock the doors and open the tailgate the central locking resets as if there were no doors open. If I open a side door the locking is disabled as it should. Is there a sensor on the door that could be at fault, and if so...

Unfortunately no cut out on mine so I had to remove the caliper and swing it out of the way then the disc came off and it was then easy to change the stud. Trouble is as you do one job you find another. Having a look around with the wheel off and I found a fracture in one of the chassis welds so...

We have been wintering abroad for about 12 years now. I started using the proper headlight masks but all I do now is to use the adjuster to lower the headlights to their lowest position. I have not been pulled by plod for doing this, nor have I been flashed by other drivers.

Hi, Do I need to remove the caliper and disc to fit a new wheel stud on my 2005 D4D, if so can you talk me through it.

Thanks Crispin, did as you said and it worked :dance:. Just been traveling around Europe for a month and not been able to play the discs I'd burnt. I can bin them now and start again. Cheers

Further to my original query I find that the radio will not read some recored CD's. I've tried different formats Mp3, WAV and WMA. The Cd's play ok in my wife's Peugeot but not in the Toyota. The lc will play pre-recorded discs and Cd copies. Any ideas where I'm going wrong or what format they...

Looks like a digital clock is something else I'm missing :violin:

I've got a Witter tow ball mounted carrier for 2 bikes. You can get a cranked version that comes outside the spare wheel. I use the ordinary carrier because I've usually got a caravan on the back and then the problem becomes one of jack-knife. I'm stuck with taking the spare off and carrying it...

I have a 2005 Lc4 with the Wide 2Din radio (TNS300ETA). Reading the bumf, If the Trip/Navi button is pressed I should be able to get average fuel consumption and instantaneous fuel consumption. Mine just gets me to the sat nav screen. Am I doing something wrong?

I've just been checking the damage on my roof rail and found that all I really need is the front passenger side alloy casting and the plastic shroud.

That's great, 120 it is then, I've always wondered

I damaged the LH side roof rail on a low beam so if anyone has a spare, or a pair please let me know

Hi All, I joined the Club a few years ago but then forgot all about it:icon-rolleyes:. I was at a caravan rally last week and was talking to guy about Landcruiser problems and he suggested I look for the answers here. A bell rang and I remembered I was already a member. I have a 2005 Lc4 3.0l...
