I own a 2006 LC4 which I really like and have seen a 2001 VX TD in a local dealership which looks quite nice. It's 2 owners with 106,000 miles and appears to be good nick albeit a bit boat like on its suspension. I was just wondering what sort of money it should go for and what are its weak...

I may have posted something similar in the past but once again tempted by a new shape LC despite the best endeavours of my local dealership who seem to think they start at £80k! I know there is a new shape coming in 2014 but is an upgrade worth the price? I probably know the answer but thought...

Sounds good to me Gra. I'd be happy with that. When I use the Land Rovers I stick at that speed and only get 25mpg :clap:

New batteries and all sorted. Thanks.

I'll speak to Toyota and let you know what they say.

The arm and dis-arm buttons on both my keys are beginning to fail. I need to be on top of the car to lock and un-lock it. Is it just a case of new batteries? I thought they might be the rechargable type.

New screen fitted and all OK. :)

I've always been cautious of power upgrades. Must put more strain on everything. Having said that, there are thousands of chipped vehicles out there happily motoring around. I must admit, a bit more power would be very welcome.

Gra, what miles on yours now? I reckon we have these 120's until we die...

Thats a pity. I was hoping to use that as an excuse to upgrade. :lol: Having said that, the 120 was a dream again coming down here and has such low miles on it I'd probably be a bit foolish to trade it now just now.

Is the mpg on the 150 really that much better than the 120? I've read an increase of up to 30% for the 190 bhp 150 over the 120.

Yes thank God. I was just shocked at the price.

How much for a new screen? They want €968 fitted down here.

I know their cars aren't fitted with indicators.... :)

Picked up a nasty crack in the windscreen on way down to southern France on Thursday. Will have to get it replaced whilst down here. :(

Private or dealer? If dealer, which one?

For what it's worth, having had Disco's for years I bought the wife a 120 LC4 last year and have never looked back. We've used it for several 2,000 mile trips to the south of France as well as all the usual local country driving bit and apart from leaking tyre valves (yes it does appear that...

Pressures tested (a week late) and all appears fine. In fact I had to let some air out on a couple of the tyres! Valves may have been the problem after all. Thanks for all the suggestions anyway chaps. :)

So where is your money? I will be checking pressures this weekend....

I've now replaced all the valves, so fingers crossed. Dealer reckons it should do the trick. We'll see.

£10k for a 120 will mean big miles. Nothing fundamentally wrong with that of course as these motors are happy with big miles if they've been serviced regularly. Someone with a lot more knowledge will be along soon I'm sure. :icon-biggrin:

owning a green badged vehicle does not provide the same reliability as some of our eastern alternatives. I am driving down to the south of France again next month. I'll be taking the LC4 but don't tell any LRO's! :icon-biggrin::icon-biggrin:

Being an owner of both marques it causes a certain clash. My friend who is a recent convert to LR ownership is discovering the hard way that

Funnily enough there has been some engine staring recently which probably doesn't help the cause. To be fair on an engine that has seen some proper work. ;)

Whenever I drive the LC4 after a week or so of driving my Land Rover Defenders I always get this tiny little feeling of whether I wouldn't be better off having just a couple of Land Cruisers as the family fleet? They are nearly as capable off-road (don't flame me) are more comfortable (by...

Made this discovery myself when I bought the car. Quite dissapointing really. :icon-cry:

Thanks Crispin. Probably saved me a chunk of cash! :D

How do you find it compared to the 120? Any major improvements? I must admit I like the way the 150 looks and sits on the road.

New Avatar Gra. Very nice. Sorry just noticed but been away for a stretch. :icon-wink:

Always looking at the latest LC model and thinking that would be lovely, but then come down to earth with a bang when I see what prices the dealers want. The price of 2 of my current 120 doesn't even buy you a nearly new one. I just can't justify it unfortunately. I think us owners of this...

Tyre fitter did rub rims down. It was he who said he thought it was the wheels. 3 out of 4 loose pressure. Between 4-6 PSI over 4 weeks or so.

Chris Do you mean let all the air out? Never heard of OKO. Happy to give it a go though. I bought 4 brand new tyres a month ago by the way. Thanks

What options are there for a straight swap for my alloys? Fed up of loosing pressure because of rubbish wheels.

Cheers chaps that's helpful and all passed on to my mate. :thumbup:

A mate is looking to buy one. What did they have over the LC4 of the same vintage and did they have any particular issues or weaknesses?

Noticed it slightly when I bought it but think it has got worse. Any ideas?

Interesting. Comparable with my recent run down to Cavalaire. I noticed the same inaccuracies with the speedo compared to the Sat Nav too. Made me feel a bit safer from plod when running at a Cruiser indicated 90mph at times. :icon-biggrin:

Totally.

That's interesting Gra. But no Defenders! :icon-surprised::icon-surprised:

Its not quite as straight and true to drive and the seats are not as good. Performance and economy are similar. I prefer the looks of the Disco but there are too many of them about. Both feel bomb-proof but the difference I suspect is that the Cruiser really is. I would never buy another...

That'll be fun. :)

A great return leg on Saturday. Hugely impressed with my Cruiser on all counts. Just wanted to share. :)

Tried it again last night in low gear and it worked perfectly. Not sure it matches the Land Rover system though. :whistle:
