I was driving home last night through Tottenham, 5.00pm ish, when I spotted a cool 100 in blue with AT tyres and a spare wheel mounted on the back. The driver even waved and acknowledged me as we passed. Yes I do believe it was the one and only Dark Dude. It was only when we had passed and I...

Had my air con re-gassed but found 2 leaks. Parts ordered and fitted. System re-gasssed and leaks cured. The problem now is that the air conditioning still does not work. Is there something that needs to be reset so the system will work? Thanks Paul

My 53 plate V8 needed a new exhaust. Toyota wanted £3000 for a complete system. After posting on here it became very clear that a stainless steel system was the way to go and that Charlie at Pro Speed in Cardiff was the man to do it. So last Wednesday we left London at 5.00 am for the drive to...

While away on holiday my car went to my mechanic for some routine servicing. Its a 4.7 V8 and he has found it needs a new exhaust system. A Toyota one is £2200. He looked at pattern exhausts but no one makes a complete one. Has anyone else found a pattern system or are there other options ie. a...

At last I have returned the Aygo and have got the cruiser back. It has had a brand new tailgate fitted, sprayed and all the original glass and trim put back. Looks OK although it is harder to shut, you have to slam it. Only concern is the landcruiser badge may not be stuck on that well. Time...

Took my 9.5 year old V8 to my local toyota dealer, Hills of Woodford, and asked them about resolving the rust issues on the tailgate. Rang them after 4weeks and have had the repairs autherised. I will even get a courtesy car as they want it for 5 days! A real result thanks to this forum and the...

Took my 100 in to the body shop to get a price for having the front bumper sprayed. They informed me that the front inner wheel arches are missing which means the fog lights get soaked every time it rains. Could anyone show me a picture of their front inner wheel arch ? Is this something I will...

As the title really. The battery was disconnected and now when I turn the radio on the ariel only goes up 3", or 75mm, turn the radio off and it retracts. Have tried the CD player, it works fine. Is there a reset for this or has my areial broke as my mechanic is suggesting? :icon-exclaim:

Ok I have had my V8 a couple of months now and am really enjoying it. I love the sound and speed of it but there appears to be an issue! When I accelerate hard from pulling away and pick up speed there is a buzzer that sounds and a red light flashes instead of a green one. The only way to make...

Hello everyone Have this fault code come up POO57 Heater cicuit low! Any thoughts on how to resolve it?

Ok my 53 plate V8 has grand trek AT's fitted on 18" rims. Am thinking of BFG AT's as I have had great service from them over the last 10 years on my previous 80. Have read quite a bit about tyres on this forum. Will 285/65r18 be a good size to fit without any alterations and will this alter...

As stated before I had an 80 series. When going down or up snow covered hills I would engage low range and difflocks. Have not got handbook yet so my question is this. When low range is engaged do I have the ATRAC button pushed in as well? Can ATRAC be used in high range? Thanks in advance for...

Am new to this forum and was posting in the 100 section about an 80 I've owned for the last 11 1/2 years. She has 303,000 miles on the clock and has been my daily driver. Where is the best place to sell her? I'm not allowed to have 2 cruisers!!

Where is the best place to get the suspension fluid from? Where can you get the lubrication fluid for the LPG system from? The car has not got an owners handbook. Will I have to get one from Mr T? How often should you service the LPG system? Have always run BFG AT's on my 80. If I go down...

Thanks to everyones imput about LPG or diesel and 4 or 5 speeds. I picked up a 53 plate V8 with an LPG conversion done 2 1/2 years ago and with a lubrication system. She has the 5 speed box and has done 109000 miles with a full service history. Wow what a diference! Loads of power and a super...

Can anyone give a guesstimate of mpg on either for the 4.7 V8 in real life. I would like to hang on and find a 5 speed and want to know if it is worth it.

Hello everyone. I have owned an 8o series Cruiser for 11.5 years. Bought it with 163000 miles on the clock and now has 303000 miles. Want to upgrade to a 100. Always fancied a V8 and was thinking of one with LPG. Good idea ?
