    80 series steering knuckle wiper seals

    Hello, I've found one last bit of landcruiser parts in the garage. These were imported from America with the rest of my front axle rebuild stuff and for some reason they sent two sets of these. I've had a look at Milners and they charge £40 for a set of these so I'd like to ask £20 (if...

    How much do you think it's worth?

    Hello forum people. There's a chance I'm going to have to sell the cruiser but I'm not sure how much I'd ask for it. I don't like being dishonest when it comes to selling cars so I like to divulge everything that's not great with it, but I'm unsure how it'll affect the price. I bought it a...

    Just when I thought I was out.....

    .....they pull me back in. So I finally finished my epic front axle service and 'thought' I'd finished, but now my front hubs are getting pretty toasty. Now I'm not sure how warm they're supposed to get as I didn't often fondle my wheel nuts after driving, however now they're getting to the...

    landcruiser 80 vs discovery 2

    So someone posted this on ze Facebook, and it would appear that the discovery is performing better than the landcruiser. Is there a reason for this do you think? The only thing I could think was that the weight of the landcruiser was counting against it, but then again I thought the defender 2's...

    UK and US axles the same?

    Wanted: fuel filler pipe 80 series.

    Hello, I found out the hard way that pumping petrol into the tank was actually ending up on the forecourt so it would appear I need a new pipe that connects the filler to the tank. I have an fzj80 and I've read the body needs to be lifted off the chassis to change it, however it can be sawn in...

    Belt size question

    Hi, I ordered some new belts from Milners, two for the alternator and fan and one for the AC (I have a FZJ80). Couple of questions, the old belts were v shaped and the new ones have teeth is that an issue? The other is the AC belt. I can't for the life of me get it on it sends too tight...

    The appeal of landrovers

    Hi, I think I may have figured out why so many people in the UK have such an obsession with Landrovers. I've recently helped a friend from my response group with picking up a new axle for a Discovery. We went to a local old style breakers yard with about 40 or so landrovers in a field. So we...

    Heater Matrix

    Hello (again), my cabin heaters are blowing lukewarm, but heat up under revving. Considered water pump issue but rear heater blows hot at idle. New thermostat fitted recently as well. So I'm thinking it could be gunk in matrix. I'll post some pictures up when I get home of the pipes that I...

    Radiator Replacement

    Hello (yet again). It would appear my Landcruiser has elevated its level of hostility towards me, to a point where we're verging on open warfare. As I was underneath it looking for a small coolant leak it dumped (seemingly all) of its brand new and expensive Toyota coolant upon me. It would...

    Electrickery questions

    Rear locker oddness

    Hello, I've a question about my rear locker. I recently replaced the actuator as the old one had turned to dust, with a new Toyota one (and yes my butt still hurts). Anyhow, it was locking and unlocking ok (albeit with a little wiggle of the steering wheel). However when there was snow...

    Wot dis fing?

    Hi, I'm replacing my aircon condensor, because the old one disintergrated into dust. When removing it, there's a little thingie (technical term) in the offside lower corner. I'm assuming it's some kind of sensor as it has wires to it, its a black plastic cylinder with a smaller solid cylinder...

    My truck is marking its territory

    Hello, my 80 series is leaking from its rear diff. It's where the rear prop enters the diff. Could anyone point me in the right direction of repairing it. Does the whole thing need taking apart (please don't say this one) or can it be fixed from the prop side of things (please say this one)? :doh:

    Wheels and tyres Qs for an 80

    Hello everyone, I promised I've searched before asking but I'd just like to clarify a few things before I go ahead. On my old Surf I had steel modular rims 15x10 with 33x12.5 BFGoodrich AT tyres on. These have served me very well whilst I had it so I'd like a similar set-up on the new...

    Insurance no claims bonus

    Hello, I am looking into insurance for my new landcruiser but I have a question about my current insurance. I am with Noel Dazely at the moment on one of their 4x4 insurance policies and whilst it has many advantages, the drawback is that you don't accrue a no claims bonus. So my question is...

    What colour is this?

    Hi guys, I'm interested in this Landcruiser The advert says silver but I'm thinking it's grey but looks lighter than some of the grey ones I've seen.
