Just landed in Keflavik airport and took a stroll around the car parks and its land cruiser porn !! Pimped ,lifted, fat tyres ,oversize wheel arches 70/80/90/100/120 and 200 in the one carpark. Noticed that most of them have toyota badge "hood ornaments",which makes me think they're mostly U.S...

Hi, Have anyone got experience of importing tool kits and the like from the States or Canada ? I want to import a new tool kit which is considerably cheaper than here but I'm not sure on how to avoid import duty as I can get my brother to send it from Canada . Thanks

Lc amazon lpg for sale Here for sale is my Amazon 4.7 petrol/lpg.I have owned this truck for two years and have enjoyed every bit of it. I am reluctantly selling it because I have now got a Co.van and now the wife's car and the LC are parked up all week and there is now three vehicles outside...

Well I'm happy to say that Zeus passed its M.O.T with only a few niggly advisories!! Rear anti roll bar bushes have slight play. Where's a good place to get these? Lower ball joint boot damaged but not allowing ingress of dirt. Is there such a thing as a replacement gaiter? Had a look but...

As some of you know I've had vsc/trc and vsc/off lights on for over a month now after I plugged in an obd2 reader in. I've given up looking for solutions so I'm now in a Toyota garage getting it sorted . They are saying it could be the yaw sensor(£440) that's at fault,mainly because its trying...

Anyone looking for a v8 LPG 100 series? I'm going to sell or trade in Zeus but would like to give first refusal to folk on here first! Selling within the next month so plenty of time to think! Pm me if you're interested.cheers James

When the ABS and handbrake warning light come on when you're driving?

I've got a weird problem with my alarm that's really annoying! I think it's a factory standard one but not sure, anyway the alarm goes off for no reason after approximately 5-6 hours of being driven. It does not happen during the day (gets open/shut regular)and went off last night at 4:15am...

The Toyota Landcruiser Owners Club Forum Index Inbox :: Message From: administrator To: Zeusv8 Posted: Mon Oct 29, 2012 18:59 Subject: land cruiser club .net ... They don't promote the tlocuk - we don't promote them. It hardly helps when people log in here and try to redirect members...

You have finally sorted all the wee niggly and not so niggly problems,you get another one!! When starting yesterday it seemed a bit "vacant" on fire up like it stopped the ignition process for a second and same this morning from cold but it took two attempts . I have just restarted it while...

Today on the way home the rear wiper came on by itself and ran at full speed. The switch was off so I messed about with it switching it to on/int and back to off with no change. A few minutes later I braked and it stopped and when I released the brake pedal it came back on again!! Lol . This...

Hi lads, I am trying to find a description on rebuilding the handbrake and was hoping someone could point me in right direction. Has anyone here done this? Did the parts come from Toyota or are there other options? Thanks for any help,James

Hi new site! After the leak in the Lc and the previous owner having wet dogs my carpet is minging and I'm going to rip it out! Has anyone else ever done this? I know what's involved in removing seats,trim,panels and the 9mm pistol out of my mouth! I'm just not sure on the new stuff. The old...

My rear passenger side window is leaking quite badly. I sealed the outside of the bead with black silicone but couldn't get to the inside of it because of the window. How do I remove the pane of glass from the metal strip(hinge) without breaking it? Cheers,James

I had a record four road rage incidents today! First was this morning when a woman cut me up due to her being in the wrong lane off a r/about. I never reacted to this and got the finger and a barrage of braking bullshit. Then on the m/way at 80mph I had a tailgater who was so close I couldn't...

One on eblag for 100 series in grey if anyone is after one,sorry can't link on iPhone .

Range rover sports have been voted the worst second hand car to buy as they have the most faults and are expensive to fix according to a Which? survey!! A 2005 model can cost over £16k! Stick to the LC me thinks :thumbup:

Lately I've noticed that the rev counter blips and drops of its own accord, and also when I'm driving in slow traffic it's all over the place. Say I'm cruising at 1200 revs and let off the accelerator then press it again there is a delay of a few seconds and then it jumps, almost like the Ecu is...

Hi probably wrong section but best place for a quick answer!! When I started driving this morning the vsc trc and vsc off lights came on when I braked, then went out after a few seconds. This happened 3 times when braking but hasn't done it since. Could this be a dirty or failing abs sensor...

Hi lads, I'm sorry if this has been done to death but I can't find the right info! Since I've installed the OME suspension kit my wheels look pants, like I've stuck a set of car wheels on!! I have loads of clearance at the back and can wind the torsion bars up another 50mm. I need to know if I...

Hi peeps, I am going to do a fair bit of travelling in the truck this year and I'll need to run a Waeco in the back quite a lot and I'd like to keep it there for work too. It draws about 3.5 amps on 12v so is it necessary to fit a second battery?.I have a space where the AHC pump and reservoir...

I have the common failure of these motors on my wagon too. I have stripped both of them done to their individual bits,cleaned and reassembled them. They worked for a week or two,then they failed one after the other again! The Lexus ls400 has the same function and I was wondering if the motors...

All the windows were tinted by the previous owner and I've noticed a lacquer peel,salt deposit type layer forming on some windows. If I scrape it with a card it's like glitter! Anyone have any experience of this or know how to fix/stop it? Thanks,James

Can anyone tell me their ride height from bottom of wheel rim through centre to wheel arch?? I have 750mm front and 820mm at rear (OME kit). AHC at normal will be great, thanks

Yep it's me again! I am a bit confused on the t bar install! I have the car on stands,wheels off and new shocks on and everything hanging. Do I have to wind the t bars back or are they now at 0 load? Is it a straight forward one out one in job? And the one thing that's got me is,in the...

Anybody got any tips on removing these? I've just realised the access is ridiculous and might force a hole cutting in the floor!!! Lol thanks

I need to change my lower ball joints when I convert my suspension and really do not want to take the wishbones off! Has anyone ever hired a press to do this? I can only see block splitter variety which might be a bit crude!! T.I.A,James

Hi,I thought I would post up that Privilege are very cheap!! I was with Elephant last 3 years and this years quote was £646 fully comp 9 years no claims 34yo etc. Privilege quoted me £366 online so might be worth phoning them up to cut out comparison websites commission! Hope this helps...

As many of you know I've had a few problems with my 100 series that were fixed up until the AHC crapped out! I have no time,money or interest in fixing it and want it off my driveway!! It's a v8 lpg converted and lpg registered on the v5 so the tax is 250. 161k on the clock,service...

Hi as the title says I need a proper fully loaded factory service manual with diagnostics and wiring diagrams.I already have two of the ordinary ones from Eblag and they do not have a single line about the AHC system!!!!!! Thanks.James

Anyone on here have any spare ones? Is it worth trying to recon these or do they just fail?? Thanks, James

I have AHC issues at the moment which will probably escalate to ripping it out! Has anyone on here done their 100 series? I'm thinking about the 25mm lift kit but would like to know how much to buy it, as I can't find anyone in the UK with a price and is it a major job or driveway mechanic...

Mine!! I am sick to death of this car and I'm gonna burn it!! A while back I posted about the car starting but would not idle and when I let off the pedal it cut out. I narrowed this down to LPG calibration issues which I had sorted! It has just happened again after I changed the old battery. I...

My AHC light started flashing OFF as I was driving. I stopped, switched off engine and waited a few mins,started it up and went through the height range and the light stayed out until I was 5 mins on the road and started flashing again! User manual says contact dealer crap! Anyone have...

Sorry if it's the wrong section, but is a busted gator on a lower suspension arm ball joint a fail or advisory? Thanks in advance,James

I've just had a coolant hose split open due to the steering rod at the bulkhead rubbing a groove into it and the other hose isn't too far behind splitting too so it's probably a good idea to go check where the hoses in your car are sitting, few cable ties will sort it for you if it's touching...

I'm on a ferry and my ignition lights won't go out when I pull out the key!!! My battery won't last the trip! Any ideas to the problem? I've jiggled the key and have no tools to disconnect the battery!!

My vsc off and vsc trc lights came on the other day while driving and went out after a few minutes and when I started up this morning they stayed on for a few minutes again. Owners handbook says the usual," contact Toyota dealer"! Has anyone any experience of this happening? Thanks in advance...

http://i1211.photobucket.com/albums/cc4 ... E7C63E.jpg I'm so excited I could pee myself ....oh wait... I did! Hopefully this leaves room for a second battery too!

Is there any other wheel stud pattern that matches the 100 series? I ask this as I'm goin to use a door mounted wheel carrier(IE landrover mount) to fit the spare wheel to the roofbars! Thanks in advance :)

Hi, anyone replaced their inner cv boots?? Is it a major hassle,total PITA?? Toyota just quoted me 520 quid to do the two inner and 146 to replace my front pads so I told them where to go and sourced the parts for 58 quid!!! All advice greatly appreciated!

Having owned my 2002 v8 for a few months now I've noticed a few things I'd like to change or improve! 1. Is there an induction kit that will give the v8 more low speed acceleration, as in when doing 40 mph or so the engine can be a bit hesitant unless you plant the boot causing the gearbox to...

Hi all, just looking to get in touch with any breakers on here. I'm looking for rear callipers as one if mine has siezed, so reconditioned or working will do!! Thanks,James
