Found a guy to do it but won't be till after Xmas. Luckily my brother has said he'll lend me a car to keep me going. I'll try and get some pics to show you guys.

I've been hunting since posting this and still haven't found anything so I'm guessing you guys are right. I have a blacksmith friend who might be able to help out but it doesn't look like an easy to replicate piece. Might get away with a circle of steel just plugging the hole but if not then...

Hey guys, I'm more of a lurker than a poster here but I need some help. At the perfect time of the year I've just encountered a problem. The other day a knocking noise started up from the back. Didn't sound too serious and in all honesty I thought it was some of the crap rattling around in...

No but I will. Thanks.

Managed to bodge a Honda seatbelt to fit well enough to get my MOT passed so now I have the chance to hunt down a belt at my leisure. Thanks for taking the time to try and help me though. I was panicking as I'm towing a caravan to the Glastonbury festival site tomorrow. Also if anyone does...

The problem seems to be finding one that has the guide that bolts above the window. Can't see a way of getting that off and adding it to a belt without cutting it which would defeat the point. Thats why I thought surfs might be the answer. Mines a 96 so is just mechanical inertia style.

Ouch.. I was hoping for a tenner.. :icon-biggrin: I have my back seats folded forward a lot of the time so its only going to get occasional use. Obviously when it is I want it to be safe though. I am really intrigued to see if any other Toyota belts would fit too.

Another year, another MOT. This year I wasn't so lucky with the seatbelt. Which is not a suprise considering the state of it. So, anyway. I'm desperate for a drivers side rear seatbelt for my 90. Really I need it by Monday but I can't work out how to make that happen. None of my local...

Well the cruiser got through the MOT. Couple of bulbs and an ARB bush were all it got flagged on. :dance: I'm suprised the seatbelt didn't get even an advisory. Its buggered. If you can find it Pete then I would still be very appreciative. Don't fancy gambling with passengers lives...

Thanks very much Pete. I'll wait to hear back from you then. :clap:

Hi guys, I've got the MOT booked for Wednesday and I noticed I have a tear in one of the rear seat belts which it will fail on. Even if it doesn't I need to get that sorted for the safety of my passengers. Does anyone have a suitable replacement seatbelt at a bargain price? :icon-biggrin...

Another working 90 roof here. Had mine open in the sun yesterday.

Well, someone paid £17 + £2 postage for the one that ended today so I bought the other for £17 posted on the buy it now. :doh: Anyone able to tell me how to program this thing on my collie now? I know its something to do with a button behind a metal plate behind the stereo but I can't remember...

Ooh.. Well spotted Steven. I did look honest! :lol:

Hi guys, I thought I'd sorted one out but I've not heard back from the member so I'm still in search of an alarm/locking fob for my 90 colorado. If anyone has one (or two) knocking around that would work it'd be great to get hold of one. Thanks!

yep, I've been watching the compressor too.. :icon-cry:

Hey guys, After some discussion in my newbie thread it seems I should have had a keyless entry fob when I got my car. Does anyone have have one kicking around that should work and I can have a play around with? Cheers

I borrowed my friends jacked up lwb trooper with a normal 2 bar clamp-on roofrack for a while a few years back and while driving into a multistorey carpark it suddenly occurred to me as I went under the height bar that I didn't know the height.. I slammed my brakes on and got out of the car to...

Another vote for the Lensers torches here. I've got a T7 and its great. Thinking about getting the m7r, the rechargeable version of it although I just bought a stack of batteries from ebay.

Well, looks like I've bought myself some Cooper S/T Maxx tires. So much for keeping the tires that were on it for a bit. Only 265/75/16s though so nothing too adventurous yet. Tiptoeing around a field the other day made me want something with a more serious tread though. I ended up getting...

Its a linksys not a netgear.. :whistle: Unfortunately I just bought a new router last week.

I recommend going through a cashback site like Quidco. They're offering £120 cashback at the moment if you sign up for a handset contract thats over £25 a month. Three are offering £61.65 cashback on the one plan. Not as good as some deals but they'll probably come up with a better one soon...

Hah.. you get this going on whichever forum you are on. Its a familiar story. Besides. Everyone knows that shropshire-suzuki.co.uk is the friendliest forum on the web.. :icon-biggrin:

You have to post a picture of yourself clean shaven on the 1st of the month holding that days newspaper! :lol: Its then however much moustache you can grow in the month. I'm not sure if I want to take part. I have a full beard I'd have to shave off. Oh, and this happened to my face last year.

Cheers Chris. I guess the aftermarket option is worth considering. Would you be interested in letting one of the fobs go so I could maybe have a try at setting it up? Depending on if I can find out what the programming procedure is obviously. Also, in other news. The new cruiser started...

Thanks for even more welcomes guys! Steven, I have the same key. Just wondered as its a similar size to the suzuki transponder. You think its not one though? I don't have a fob for opening and closing though. :icon-cry: The manual does have all the information for using the fob though...

Hey Red, I'm down in Totnes so we'll be sharing the lack of snow. :icon-biggrin: Seen you around on the 4x4pals site. Not sure if you've been out the couple of trips I've taken with them though. Not been out for ages.

I'm excited by the first signs of snow but it'll have to get a bit colder for it to snow down here in the southwest. Certainly a chill in the air today. Part of me is very hopeful for cold and snow but I live in a static caravan and currently have no woodburner. The landlords just replaced my...

Hopefully mine'll look a bit more like Fiery looks now soon though Steven. :icon-biggrin: So.. First of many many questions.. My cruiser came with one key and that was it. I asked about a central locking fob but the dealer said they weren't given anything other than the one key. I'm...

I've got one of the HP Touchpads that they sold off cheap in their firesale. Picked one up off ebay from £120 a while back and put Cyanogenmod, a modified version of android, on it. Its a nice 10.1 screen, decent processor which I've clocked up a little, 32gb on board memory. Easy enough to...

Well, here it is.. The new Landcruiser.. Picked it up from Morecambe on Tuesday and drove it back down to Devon. Very happy so far, it pulls like a train. The only niggle I have is that the rear diff lock although working when I tested it at the garage seems to not be working now.. :wtf...

Its about this time of year I get addicted to reading the forums on theweatheroutlook.com and crossing my fingers for snow. I'm very tempted to get one of those home weather station thingies too. :icon-biggrin:

Thanks for the welcome guys! :icon-biggrin: Nothing major but I'd certainly like to put a small spring lift on and some bigger tires. The slovenian guy who is working for my blacksmith neighbour loves landcruisers and has already offered to make me a winch bumper if I want so thats an...

Hi guys, Thought I better say hello. I'm Ben and I've defected over from the Shropshire Suzuki club/forum. (Yes, another Ben) Just bought myself a 97 SWB Colorado. Much like sae70's. I've been wanting a landcruiser for a long time and finally everything fell into place to get one. Will be...
