only miners seems to show front calipers at twice the price of rears from brakeparts, anyone know where to find cheap fronts?

ouch, how expensive are calipers? more importantly where is the cheapest place for them :p

thanks guys, red it is then and i do have it in my landy with a copper rad :O

It just failed on brake in-balance , headlights out of adjustment and lose battery. The headlights cant be adjusted as both adjusters are broken, any tips there just to get it passed? I can sort out new lights in the future. The brake in-balance , they said it needed new front pads as an...

Hi all, the 80 series turned up today finally, only got a five min look in the dark but will put up some pics asap. Looks a little crispy underneath but I'm handy with a welder so not too worried. It's going in for an mot tomorrow, the garage I use will change the coolant to five year red...

Thanks mate,I am running magnecores on the rangie so I will get a set as they are great. whats the engine oil for these? and for the gearbox too? I am wondering about flashlube if it doesnt have it already and also if different plugs for lpg but it sounds like you are only on petrol :)

hey guys, so long as its got the lockers an import is fine if it adds a fridge all the better!! I hope its not a dog, as sight unseen but 34 other bids someone must have looked and I dont have the time to go up :p A POLISH BLOKE DROPPING IT OFF NEXT WEEK :O good to get an answer on gearbox...

A few practical questions gents if you dont mind- I want to get her ship shape asap. whats the engine box t box and axel oil for these? ok to go to 5 year red coolant? is the autobox mechanically or electrically governed? best plugs leads cap and rotor for lpg? remind me if its chain or...

do we believe the mileage? 2 owners and interior looks low wear :p

I chose petrol mostly so I didnt have to mess with big end bearings :) Plus I am close to an lpg place

item number seems to work when I tried it in a new private window so you should be good :)

Hey thanks, try the item number: 281626069361 its a 93 uk spec on lpg with 148k and 2 owners

Look at my join date and you will see the finally part!! This is the new one and I am buying it sight unseen as time is money and its cheap enough...

Hi all, its been a while. I am searching for an 80 series on lpg if anyone knows of one for sale? Many thanks

yeah its all worked out nicely, glad I didnt end up bidding against you either :D

yes I saw that if I had bid it may have been more, but if I added £1500 min for lpg it would be £4300 which was £600 over budget before any other work. not saying it was a bad buy though!

well guys, "WE" have decided to go for the trooper atm, dont think for one min that this is the end of my L/C hunt. It may be postponed for a few months untill the new house is sorted but then it will be back on with more cash piling up each month for a better and better example. :D I really...

thanks gusy , yes I heard all about the 3.0 lol , well avoided! its the 3.1 I have been looking at and its supposed to be uber reliable, I was crawling around under there yesterday and becuase its an import in 06 its very clean just a little surface rust ere and there but still mostly black...

the wife has now figured out a trooper is a third the price of a landcruiser with half the milage on it :o

Thanks guys , your very kind to do that for me. It looks good in the pictures, it would be first one I have seen with working heated seats lol. Glad to know all is well with it , I was looking at a trooper big horn today which has 70k on it and is only £1700 I dont for one minit think that...

lol its busy here tonight :p take it from somone who runs 3 v8's all on petrol I need LPG on this one! a decent install is £1500 and £2000 locally (plus i have to do something with the spare ie fork out for a carrier) so if this one goes up in price its out of my budget but hey I might get...

Thanks gents , i have emailed him to ask a few questions and keep you posted, although I did ant one with lpg really!

good result! I agree on traders, it seems there are a couple I have been warned about who buy up all the fleabay ones and then sell them back on fleabay for twice the price with a "kneecap" warrenty. then there are the ones I have called, including the ones from this post who dont speak much...

fully true and very well put!

well that answers that question , I want a petrol anyway and unless a forum owner diesel comes up for sale. :mrgreen: where the hell are all the petrols with lpg, oh yeah north of the m25 thats where :drool:

yeah thats what I thought, but I know nothing lol- what year was the change to 24v on the diesels is the question! Chris the trouble is they are all so far away and I can get much english outta the guys on the phone,certainly no tech details. I need one nearer to me or any of you helpfull...

I agree, just had a chat with him after finally getting through. he says he hasnt got any paperwork for the car and also he wont come down in price. its bit higher than my budget so I am going to leave that one. shame it could have been nice. oh and thers no lubricator or spare wheel carrier...

Anyone near this place in bradford? Or know if they are trustworthy? I rang but they didnt sound like they were from yorkshire or know much about the type of lpg install. they have a few landcruisers though. http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/ ... ?logcode=p And there is this one in...

In agreement with chris this ones shitcanned :mrgreen: Next!

nah , it seems slim picking atm as people seem to want silly money for cars with mega miles. miles are fine with history but that seems even thinner on the ground than the cars

Ok , rang them today as they were not much use via email. they dont actually have the car, its coming wednesday lol. he said he has had an offer of 4k and expects it to go for about 5k sounds a bit steep for an early type. Chris I dont want to waste your time , so if its right by your place...

thanks so much guys for the quick reply. i will email them tomorrow and check viewing times and chris as your back first if that ties up ill pm you a list stuff :mrgreen: super thanks to both of you :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen: :mrgreen:

For me :mrgreen: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1991-Toyota-L ... 1e66781d8f just wonder if its worth a bid but a 340 mile round trip is a bit far from me to check :doh:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/1996-TOYOTA-L ... 336b33cad2

well ive been trying to get this frying pan clean for ages :mrgreen:

ive a 2 ton engine hoist if you need a lift :D

lol :mrgreen:

long way to come, I would hope you would have popped in for a beer and dropped off your 80 if you came that far :mrgreen:

oops sorry , Ive done it now :naughty:

Yours is still short an engine isnt it :mrgreen:

I saw you going out past fleetlands in a nice red 80 series 25th at about 7ish? I know there is lots of you local so its gotta be one of you :mrgreen:

scarily I have seen 3 like that, must be class fault-odd for toyota!

im sure you can sell those specail bits off seperatly, and the rest can just be a donation as you know its going to such a good home :mrgreen:

thats exactly what I am looking for :) Your mates one ready yet? :mrgreen:

looks like we both might be looking paul! sell me your 80 then all the 90's will be for you :mrgreen:

I was really searching for an 8o series (is that a rude phrase in here lol) but I have seen a 90 series colorado vx which got me looking. what should I look out for on them? its a 1999 diesel 3.0L I think. I have seen a few where the rear axel mounts have broken off , is this a class fault...

thanks for the links guys , the ebay one I had seen and the miles are a bit high and its a bit far from me to get too excited about, plus that spelling did worry me lol. I have emailed him abou the piston heads one but its a little out of my budget and again miles are a bit high. keep looking...

sounds interesting, you got the link mate :)

not as good leak wise, interior a lot better!

:( well gents I went to dorset today and had a look. Sadly the engine, gearbox and transfer box all leaked :o and the front swivels were both leaking and one was dripping on the tyer/wheel the full service history (which was just stamps, no invoices) stopped 16k ago and was from random...
