Thanks for the offer but I have been all over the web looking at sizes and if the follow the BFG sizes then they wont be a direct swap. I am also reluctant to fit tyre copies given the mileage I do, I would rather go for originals if I can sort the right size. Jon

What is annoying is that whether I stick with the 18 inch rims or swap to 17 inch rims I don't seem to be able to get tyres which would keep the same rolling radius and at the moment I don't want to fit a suspension lift as it would invalidate the warranty. Currently 265/60R18 so I think the...

Thanks, I will check. Does anyone have any advice on tyre choice? Jon

I am looking to to swap the standard 18" alloys and M+S tyres on my 150 for some wheels/tyres more suitable for winter. I am thinking about some 17" steel wheels and either winter tyres or decent All Terrains. Can anyone recommend a decent supplier in the south (I live in Guildford) that could...

Yep, brand new.

After spending too many years taking too many flights, about 10 yrs ago I decided I had had enough and changed my job. It took 6 yrs before I would take a plane for a holiday and I will still use any other reasonable means of travel possible before getting on a plane again. I have a couple of...

love it, not seen that before....

I bought a LC4 150 in March. So far I have done 17k in it, mostly on the m/way with occasional excursions off road around my parents (which is why I need 4x4). Compared with the Freelander 2 I had before it is terrific, though perhaps a little bit more thirsty. Strangely the FL2 over estimated...

I have just put 6 months of Euro Plus cover onto our green flag membership for £76, which seems quite expensive, however we we are going to do around 3.5k miles and there are 7 of us, so it would be a bloody nuisance if we didn't have some decent cover and we needed it. Out of curiosity, does...

I have an HTC windows phone, connecting it to a W7 laptop not a problem, however it exhibits all the same faults as you describe with your current HTC. I few months ago I bought my son a Motorola defy android phone, tough, not the latest tech so reasonably priced and he thinks it is excellent...

I think I am giving in to the urge to add bits to me 150 already. Thinking about a skid plate under the front end, can anyone recommend a make/supplier to fit a 150?? Thanks Jon

Good grief, how they were all still standing at the end I really don't know....

I am looking to get hold of a rated towing strap and shackles for use with my 150. Can anyone recommend a supplier? What rating strap would be recommended for towing, say, another Landcruiser out of a sticky situation? I was thinking about a 5 ton strap at least, the others seem a bit light to...

Reading the manual for my 150 it says that you should not use the rear tow point on an auto. Does this mean not use at all? Is it OK to tow backwards out of a sticky situation if the car is being driven in reverse at the same time?? Any hints here gratefully received as I would have thought...

I can see I may have caused some confusion here. I am not poodling about at slow speeds all the time, a lot of my driving is at a steady speed around the legal limit on motorways, as I do a lot of travel round the country interspersed with trips up and down some unmade tracks at regular...

Coming up on 3k miles on my shiny 150. I am curious as to how long people think it takes to really run in the drivetrain? I am currently getting around 6 miles/litre which for such low mileage I reckon is OK. I expect this to improve as the miles increase, in my previous Freelander the MPG...

Re: You know you're a Land Cruiser owner when............... You know you're a Land Cruiser owner when.................. After the first week of driving you realise that you actually HAVE bought the car of your dreams..... Oh and I have stopped looking at car ads as well, for about the first...

I am sure it will be, I already have plans for what I am going to do to my shiny once the warranty runs out, however that is 5 yrs down the road and I don't want to prang it too quickly

As long as it does not risk denting or scratching I am up for it.......

There is actually a chrome strip in the door protection mouldings which I thought would look really tacky but actually look pretty good. Doesn't really show in the pictures though, I may need to take a couple more when the sun is not about to disappear.... Jon

Attempt at putting up some piccies Shiny!!

OK, a very basic question. Taking a 150 LC4 abroad, I presume I need to change the dipped headlamp pattern. Is the best solution still the old stick on bits of plastic? Is it possible to adjust the adaptive headlights?? Cheers Jon

Oh yes, definitely lurve at first sight....

OK, good things and not so good things on my LC4 so far (compared against my previous car, a Freelander 2.2 diesel auto HSE). Bear in mind I have only done about 200 miles in it so far. Good Very quiet to drive, in fact it is so quiet compared to the Freelander I may be getting a letter from a...

My shiny new 2011 LC4 has a manual headlight height adjustment rocker button below and to the right of the steering wheel. The manual says that it should to adjust the headlights when heavily loaded. Cheers Jon

GOT IT!! :clap: :clap: Of course the wife was moaning after I let her have a go because it doesn't accelerate as fast as he 2L focus. Anyway, great car, already love it to bits and the number one son thinks it is damn fine as well.. Cheers Jon

And finally, dratted dealer can't deliver until next week, apparently their driver is busy at the moment. So I am going to have to go collect it myself. Still, a nice little trip out I suppose. By the by, I did fancy some driving lights as I thought they would be a) useful and b) looked good...

That is what I thought/hoped but good to have another opinion on this. Cheers Jon

Is Ian Rubie on this forum? Never mind, I found him in the index....

I am about to take delivery of a shiny new LC4 and just wanted to confirm something. I have previously read there were/are a number of problems with the injector system on the D4D with the copper seals which have been fixed by the introduction of aluminium seals. Just wanted to check if this is...

. And now how many times have we heard that, Won't be doing many mods for a while Welcom to the forum. Graham Well, nothing that affects the warranty, at least. Though thinking about it I quite fancy a pair of driving lights and I am still researching the underbody protection. My dealer...

Annnoyed chappie more like, just spoken to the dealer it it won't be ready for delivery/collection until the end of Wednesday!!! :x

It is getting closer, only two days until my new shiny arrives at the dealer and I've just flogged the Freelander. Now if the dealer can just pull their finger out doing their bit.............. I might get it this weekend!!! :dance:

Cheers Nick, Won't be doing many mods for a while, got that nice long 5 year warranty to think about....... Jon

I would definitely be interested in a route that doesn't risk pranging my nice shiny new toy when it arrives. Speaking of which, just heard from the garage that toyota are going to deliver it to them a week earlier than expected, only 10 days to go..... :clap: :dance: Jon

Thanks gary, Interesting thought about the underbody protection, I will check into that. Jon

Tony, does this mean you run off roading events for Cruisers? Looked at your site and it seems to concentrate on horses. I am definitely interested in learning how to use the new LC4 I am getting in a couple of weeks as I don't want to bend it, though I will not be doing much more than the odd...

Hi everyone, about to get a new LC4 in a couple of weeks time and really looking forward to it. Selling my Freelander 2 because I need something with more room in it. Popped over here after introducing myself on ano board and immediately getting flamed by some p*(&k who criticised me for not...
