    Parrot CK3000 Evolution bluetooth hands free kit

    Recently removed from our RAV4 where it was working perfectly. The only fault is that the plastic top of one of the buttons is missing, the button underneath still works and the stick on mount for the mic broke when I removed it. A bit of tape or sugru would work fine instead. Comes with the...

    Low roof bars for 120 series?

    I've been seeing some folks in the US with roof bars that mount to the inside of the roof rails on a 120 which makes for a much lower profile mount for things such as a roof box. Over here, all I seem to be able to find are the ones that sit on top of the roof rails and have large clamps that...

    Idea for light bar mounting.

    Yesterday I spend a bit of time looking around the front of the truck to see if I could figure out where to mount a bracket for a light bar. As the bumper is all plastic, that's out as I don't want it bouncing around. There's not many places to bolt something onto easily. I was looking down...

    It's funny what you find when you get a new (used) vehicle.

    Was going over the engine bay today, just checking for rattles. Found the battery clamps a bit loose, probably whoever installed the batteries didn't have a long 10mm socket. Sorted that out. Found the box for a headlight bulb stuffed down by the headlight housing. Found two fused power cables...

    Non Toyota source for rear door sealing strip?

    Found that the rear edge of the carpet on my 2005 LC4 is damp. Pulled the weather seal back and it's wet and rusty under there. There's a a couple of splits in the weather seal so I'd like to replace it. Toyota want about £160 for it and I'm guessing there must be a cheaper alternative out...

    An alarming question :)

    Only had my 120 for a couple of weeks but I can't figure out something with the alarm. If I unlock the truck and don't start it, it rearms the alarm after about 30 seconds. Today I unlocked it, opened the boot and was sorting some stuff in the back. After 30 seconds I hear the locks cycle and as...

    BFG K02 wet road performance questions/alternatives

    I'm replacing the cheap tyres that came on my '05 120. I live on a farm and probably do 80-90% of my driving on roads with some towing of a livestock trailer and time on farm tracks and occasionally across fields. There may be a bit more off road going camping etc but that's pretty limited in...

    Tyre size question

    New 120 owner ('05 LC4 d4d) and looking to change the cheap road tyres as we live on a farm, tow livestock trailers across fields occasionally and have a lot of mud/water on the roads over the colder months, I'm looking at BFG K02's which seem well regarded. Most people seem to go for the...

    is a 2005 120 LC4 OBD2 compliant?

    looking to pick up an obd reader to keep an eye on the new truck. My Colorado wasn't obd2 so the apps wouldn't work with it, will my 'new' 120 work with a generic reader and app or do I need something special? I use an apple iPhone if that's important. Thanks.

    Key fob number advice please

    I have a spare toyota key fob interior that I was going to recode for my old Colorado before it went to the great scrap yard in the sky. I'm wondering if I can code it to my newer 120 rather than throw it away. The ID number from the old one is 60081 whereas the new car key has code 50171. Both...

    New 120 owner with some lighting questions.

    Hi all, my Colorado finally rusted out so I'm the owner of a 2005 LC4 now. Looking to update the interior and exterior lights. Does anyone have recommendations for interior led light bulbs? I've looked on Ebay and there's loads so just wondered if anyone had either a particular type or a seller...

    replacing window seals on a colorado

    The driver's side front window on my Colorado has a 2" piece of window seal missing, which I want to replace. I found a thread on the 80 section about replacing window seals which looks straightforward, are the 90 series done in the same way, can anyone tell me. Is there anywhere other than...

    Is this the OBD port?

    Could someone please confirm if this socket is the OBD port on my 2001 Colorado. It's just above the left footrest plate as I have an auto. If so, does anyone know if it's OBD2 compliant? I'm looking to get a bluetooth or wifi dongle to be able to send the output to something like DashCommand...

    Can you lift the body off the chassis on a Colorado?

    The chassis on my D4D colorado is pretty rusty and I'd like to do some rust treatment/prevention on it. However, having the truck on a set of ramps and crawling underneath isn't the most comfortable way of dealing with it. I was wondering how difficult it would be, or if it's even possible, to...

    It's never simple, is it?

    Last week I discovered that one of the bumper light units wasn't working. Investigating found it was rusted, rotten and falling apart. The other wasn't far behind. Reading on here showed it to be a normal problem that required replacing the light units and I've also discovered threads on...

    Looking for a spotlight mounting bar

    I have a 2001 Colorado D4D, I've bought a couple of spotlights to give a bit of extra lighting on the country lanes here in Devon but need something to mount them to on the front bumper. I couldn't find an A-Bar available and wondered if there's anything else suitable. They're slightly too deep...

    Replacing Anti Roll Bar links, do I need new bushes too?

    I've just bought a 2001 Colorado VX and it has broken front anti roll bar links. Milner's has replacements for £8 (down from £15) each vs Roughtrax at £21, and the photo shows that they have bushes on them. Any difference in quality between the two? I know that usually when the bushes go you...
