I'm looking for either a full set of 80 Series door cards in grey leather with walnut trim, or a drivers door card in plain grey leather. They must be in good condition. Thanks in advance.

Hi all, its been a while since I posted on here. Without going into too much detail, I'm looking for a car body repair specialist that can do some work on my LC. I have spoken to my insurance company and they want me to get an estimate from a company of my choice as their repairer is not...

I joined up with my old 4x4 response group, at the weekend. We were up in the wilds between Ullapool and Bonar Bridge supporting the 2014 MacMillan Coast to Coast Walk/Cycle/Ride. All was going well and I even rescued a few trucks that were bogged down or hung up on rocks. A kitted...

My '93 80 VX 12V is in need of some new calipers. I just changed the pads and I had a real job in trying to push back the pistons and get them moving freely. When I last changed the pads I noticed that the pistons were badly corroded around the top and someone in the past had kindly minced them...

OK its official, I'm starting to lose my sanity!! :crazy: I trying to sort out insurance for my big beige beastie. Why oh why is it so hard??:angry-screaming: I thought I would try: Direct Line - computer says no as its an extremely modified vehicle! ???? eh??? Sky Insurance - Sorry but its...

When I do a search for new posts I get a list that I could go through and pick out the ones I wanted to read. If I want to reread a particular post in the same visit I could just click on new threads and it would be in the list somewhere. Now when I try to reread a thread, I click on new posts...

Well after nearly 3 years it looks like I'm going to be reunited with my old 80 series GUR. Selling the LC was the biggest mistake I have ever made with a vehicle. My daughter constantly reminds me of the fact (wouldn't think she is only 6!!!) and my missus wishes I would stop complaining about...

I was on the ferry sailing from Brodick to Ardrossan on Friday 30 August and saw a really sweet looking blue 60 series with a roof rack. I was going to take some photos of it until I noticed 2 kids in the back and didn't want to look like some kind of weirdo.:wtf: I had noticed it on Arran a...

I know its not a Cruiser but I wanted it to get the advert out to the masses. It is in a roundabout way LC related as I have been promised another truck once the house has been sold:icon-biggrin:..... Anyway... My 2 bedroom fisherman's cottage is up for sale 20 miles north of Aberdeen. The...

I have put a load of stuff on Fleabay prior to the big move to the Isle of Arran at the end of the month. I will be adding a load of other things to the list over the next week but if you spot something you want then give me a bell and I will take it off sale...

Hi all, We have had a new member join our 4x4 response group. She owns a 2003 3.0 D4D LC4 and we have been trying to find somewhere she can buy recovery points that would stand up to a kinetic recovery. The front recovery points shouldn't be too difficult to fabricate but the rears are...

I got back late last night after my 4x4 Response group (COTAG) and I helped to support the Macmillan Coast to Coast event.We were there to provide transport for injured or exhausted walkers and cyclists, provide comms support, establish checkpoints to help keep track of the participants and aid...

:cry: I went to pull away today while towing a trailer and the truck seemed to stall and cut out and wouldn't restart. I did a quick check of the timing belt and thats OK. Theres plenty of fuel in it as I filled her up 20 miles before hand and stopped and started it a few times between. When...

I'm on the look out for a pair of solid rear windows for my 80. I require the glass and rubbers. I'm wanting to replace my sliding windows with solid ones as I don't have seats in the back and can't see the point of having sliding windows any more.

I'm on the look out for a complete high level brake light from a 100 series. I need the light, bracket, cover, etc. I have been led to believe that they fit the 80 series with a bit of trimming and I have been looking out for something I could replace the aftermarket one that broke last year.

I have been looking through the forum and see regular mentions HDK CVs. Are these an upgraded/heavy duty CV joint or are they just a quality pattern part? Where would I get them from? I'm about to start on a front axle rebuild and I've been looking for a heavy duty pair of CV joints but so...

I have a mate who wants a pair of complete 80 series axles with diff locks. He is building a hybrid and thinks the 80 axles would suit his needs. Cash waiting :thumbup:

I was just looking through a load of pics from the Jap and Jeep Jam 2010 and I found these pics of a Landcruiser i was drooling over. I remember it being really tidy and well looked after 8-) Does it belong to someone on here? Where could I find a rear bumper like that one?

Just a quick heads up about a virus I have recently encountered :twisted: Last night while surfing the web for wiring diagrams for the MK4 Hilux. I managed to access a site that kindly downloaded a virus to my computer. The first thing I knew about it was a pop up window from AVG telling me...

I'm in the process of looking for suitable recovery points for my 80. I currently have nothing on the front as both hooks have been removed and on the rear I have a tow bar with a combined ball and pin hitch assembly. I was worried about using that as a recovery point. Are my concerns justified...

Am I likely to have a viscous coupling on my 80? Where abouts is it? and what is its purpose? The reason I ask is that after some reading of various forums I seem to get conflicting information. Some say do away with it as its a waste of time and some swear by it and say its an excellent...

Ok so this might sound like a dumb question but If I fitted a Centre Diff Lock Switch and wired it up would that mean that every time I selected low box I could turn off the diff lock if not needed? Mine is a 1993 auto with an overdrive button on the side of the gear selector. I find it a pain...

I have joined the local 4x4 Response group called COTAG (Community Off-road Transport Action Group). I'm not an official member as yet as I am waiting for the Police to finish the vetting process. Also before I can go into active duty I need to complete 20 hours of induction courses and training...

I have a 1993 80 series and I want to replace my sliding rear windows with the solid type as fitted to the GS and import models. What I need is both glass and seal for both sides. Has anyone got some kicking around they want to axchange for some drinking vouchers?

I have taken my Hilux off the road for a revamp. As I'm in the North East of Scotland the combination of long winters with heavily gritted roads and living next to the sea has taken its toll on the underside of my old MK4. Thankfully its not too bad and its only surface rust and flaking paint...

A friend of mine from the Hilux Club forum has had a bit of a mishap with his LC100. 35K miles after the cambelt was fitted by a toyota dealer, it snapped! this was his post... Toyota disassembled the engine and gave us the good news.... £6k and they'll fix it!!!!! Basically the timing belt...

Just recently the 80 has come up with a wee fault. When the revs get above 2400rpm and under load the dash lights can intermittently flash. Its almost like the alternator briefly stops charging but the volt meter reading stays constant while it does it. I have checked all the connectors I can...

I'm after a few 80 series RHD Auto dash panels. The first bit is the black panel that goes around the stereo, ac contols and over the top of the steering wheel. I'm looking for one that is not cut or cracked. This one is most important as someone has chopped big lumps out around the stereo...

Well what can I say but bad, bad, bad monkeys! My relationship with Laws started a while back after one of their lads registered on another forum I'm a member of and he drove the companys jacked up Hilux. I have used them for jobs before and I could say nothing but good things about them but...

I'm looking for a rear ladder that bolts to/ hooks over the upper tailgate on an 80 series. I have been hunting around the various suppliers and keeping an eye out on ebay but all I can find are ones for the 100 series. Does anyone have one they no longer require or know where I may get my hands...

My 80 has gone in today to get a new cambelt, 3G grooved brakes fitted, pads, handbrake shoes, all the fluids and filters changed and a general full going over. I would have done it myself but the thought of scrabbling around outside on an uneven, granite chucky driveway, with the cold wind off...

I'm looking for a 3 core radiator for my Landcruiser 80 4.2 Auto. My truck has a single core Milners radiator fitted currently but it seems to be running a wee bit hotter than it should and can easily creep up under load. I have not run it soi hot that it goes over 100 degrees but it has come...

How you folks rate the Hankook Dynapro MTs in the snow? I'm currently running 305-70-16s with only a couple of thousand miles on them. The reason I ask is I have just spent 20 minutes digging myself out of a snow filled ditch after the 80 aquaplaned on 1" deep slush at less than 20mph in a...

I'm looking for one standard 16" Lancruiser 5 spoke alloy as fitted to the 80 series. Also looking for OS headlight for the same. Cash waiting. I can sort out my own courier if needs be. Cheers Bill

I'm on the look out for an aerial for an 80 series. Mine has been bent and bangs when extending and retracting. I have to get someone to push the buttons on the dash while I'm giving it a helping hand. Suggestions anyone before I go go and ask Mr T??

Ok so I now have an 80 series. The last owner says he had all the oils changed at the same time. However, as a rule of thumb and for my own piece of mind, I want to replace them all again. What would be the best engine oil to use? In previous threads there have been a few conflicting opinions...

I'm currently looking for an 80 series and I'm wanting to find suppliers for some bits before I make my decision on which one to buy. Does anyone know where I can get ACL big end bearings? Also where can I get graphogen? Oh and what oil do you recommend I fill the lump with? I have heard that...

I have looked around on the forum but can't see a spec list or buyers guide for the different models and years. Is there one or the other of these or am I looking in the wrong places??

I was just wondering if anyone had any dealings with Oakleigh Garage in Chesham? They have a high mileage but mint cruiser in and I was thinking of taking a trip down to see it. As I live in NE Scotland it will be a a case of a few days away from home to view it. What i wanted to know was...

Hi all, The name is Bill Beeton and I was very kindly directed to this site by a Chap on the Hilux Pickup Owners Club forum calling himself Andy. He pointed me in this direction after getting no responses from anyone on the TLOCUK forum. You have probably heard it all before but I haven't got...
