After running at motorway speeds and checking side wall temps on front and rear, I have set 40 front and 50 rear. I am running heavy with stuff on roof, water cans, spares etc so this seems to be a 'sensible' level which I will continue to monitor. I am sure the lower pressures suggested...

The rears are slightly warm after a run at 38psi so thinking of putting up a bit to 42. Handbook, for slightly different profile, suggests 44. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Running 285/75/r16 tyres on my 105 series. What pressures should I be running loaded? Not clear from handbook. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

I am trying to source a set of locking wheel nuts for the steel wheels on my 105 series. The nuts are M14 1.25 60degree. However, my search to date has failed to find anything. Any suggestions or does anyone have a set for sale? Thanks Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

Thanks for all the suggestions and guidance. I think I am inclined to stick with the 16 inch rims and go for 285/75 tyres. Andy

Hi Leigh. Followed the thread with interest as well as your overland adventure. We setting off in July for Sydney and interested in your Spot Connect tracking. Best to pm you? Andy

... but they do do a 255/85/R16.

Thanks. The 16 inch rims (not sure whether original) are a 5 spoke steel. Checking the BFG site, the largest 16 inch diameter is a 75 profile.

I currently have 265/75/R16 tyres fitted to 16 inch rims on my 105 series. However, I am about to fit a new set of tyres for our overland journey to Australia and not sure whether to replace with the same or go to a bigger tyre/larger rim. i note the speedo reads high so inclined to go bigger...

I have a similar set up. The only guidance I was offered is to ensure you let the vehicle idle for at least 30seconds when you stop before switching off. This allows the turbo oil to cool. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD

the tick over is currently 900rpm on my 105 4.2 TD and i want to adjust it to the correct level. is this 750 rpm? if so, how do i make the adjustment? with thanks, andy

many thanks - very helpful. Andy

i have a 105 series (LHD) which due for MoT. How do I know where to fit beam deflectors (or tape) on the lenses? Thanks, Andy

thanks for the last 2 suggestions - very helpful. i certainly like the look of the mudstuff examples. Andy

She already is but not properly house trained as she keeps spilling my coffee!

My 105 has no cup or drink holders. Anyone know of a good accessory for the dash or door to allow me to store my cup or hot drink whilst on the move? Cheers, Andy

Hi Scott. i bought the 105 from John Cox who used the truck extensively in the Americas, Middle East, Europe and some parts of Africa. thanks for all the suggestions for service - looks like Overland Cruisers is a good starting point.

thanks - yes, getting the basics done. my aim is to be able to do a basic service myself once someone has shown me the ropes.

Sorry, meant Nordkapp trip not Nordcamp!

getting ready for a trip to Nordcamp in a few weeks and hence need for service. still trying to find a good independent in these parts.

thanks but Ledbury quite a distance from me. i am close to M25 in South Bucks/Hertfordshire. Andy

i am looking for a company to service my Land Cruiser in the South Bucks/Herts area. anyone any suggestions of someone they could recommend? with thanks, andy

i have BFG A/T tyres (265/75/16) on my 105 series. any recommendations for tyre pressures for both fully laiden on tarmac and 'normal' road use?
