Had very similar symptoms on my 150, was a blocked engine bay fuel filter – easy cheap fix.

At something of a tangent …….presumably your 150 is the 2.8 diesel version, Psyxologos ? Can I ask how you are finding that – my 3.0 is coming up towards 100K miles faultlessly but the 2.8 engine looks good……

Any else towing with a 150 LC4 please? I am struggling a bit with towball height – I tow a Brain James trailer with race car and wheels etc, about 1,500 kgs. With tow ball set at 17.5” (that’s from ground to top of towball when LC unladen), trailer is a bit too nose down when loaded. If I lift...

Hi Glyno, on my LC4 150, if I have the map screen on for navigation with the exterior lights on then hit the ‘Disp’ button, I can adjust both contrast and brightness individually – that’s on a 2010 model.

Just to add my two pennyworth, Glyno, I found best position is to have left leg quite stretched out to reach footrest – i.e. whole seat a bit further back than perhaps at first appears right….then move seat height and backrest up and steering wheel out till you’re driving position is right. I...

Hi Glyno, don’t think it’s a problem at all, I imagine the engine is just running like that to drive the compressor………..I’ve had 3 120’s as well and they all do the same thing as I remember.

When idling the revs on mine rise and fall slightly when the air con is on – have you tried switching the A/C off to see if that stops it, Glyno?

Hi Mr. Puddock, I have a 3 litre diesel 5 speed 150, great vehicle,tows 2 tons faultlessly and decent c 30 mpg consistent fuel economy when nottowing (mainly motorway but some urban) – but interested to hear how the new2.8 engine and 6 speed auto box work out, please keep us posted.....

Hi John, not sure if you've considered a 150 as an alternate to the 100 or 120, but I am near you and you’d be welcome to try my LC4 150 if that would help?

OK Chadr, didn't want to appear a bit 'Look at my new toy'.........but.............this is it

Initial impressions having had the 150 LC4 3 days and done 500 miles: - Much nicer on road than 90 or 120 series – KDSS delivers a more civilised drive but whole vehicle still seems built like a tank and likely to outlive me. - Proper Sat Nav, Bluetooth and top flight stereo. - Quieter and more...

You're right, GOK, but I just fancied the change - having had 3 * 90 series and now the 120. Have today committed to white LC4 150, 50K miles and 2010 MY, collecting Thursday..........

Am looking at upgrading my 2009 120 Invincible (115K miles and rising fast) to 2010 150 model – either LC4 (probably) or LC5 spec if pricing works. Any specific things to watch out for on 150, can anyone please advise? Many thanks Stuart

Had a similar problem on a 90 series – was running faultlessly then suddenly engine would turn but not start. Turned out to be the circuitry which recognises the chip in the ignition key had failed so the system didn’t allow the engine to fire – it’s part of the security. Only solution for me...

Hi Alex, my 2009 LC120 auto also shakes when cold and held on footbrake - but clearly not as badly as yours. Mine stops shaking if I put it into Neutral, so I imagine it's something in the auto gearbox - I just live with it TBH....

Many thanks, Mr Grass

I know this sounds aparticularly stupid question, but my privacy glass is seriously dark and I’d like to remove – but is the film on the inner or outer glass, please?

Hi, ADK, thanks for that, but could you please explain '.......the towing electrical adapter was not properly earthed to body..' please?!

Quick update – have now covered many miles without trailer on and no problem, and 200 miles towing having given all trailer electrics a good shake and squirt of WD40. No problem at all, so I’m sure it is flaky towing electrics on the LC or on the trailer wiring which is the root cause. Thanks...

Strange problem this weekend – towing 1,600 kgs trailer with my 2009 LC120 Invincible when dash board suddenly lit up with ABS warning, VSC TRC & VSC OFF yellow lights, skidding car pic – and rear fog light on! No problem apparent while driving, but stopping and restarting several times had no...

With engine running Beef

Beware, Beef - just measured my 2009 LC5 with 'normal' air suspension height and I make the highest point of the roof rails 195 cms (6’ 4.8”) above the ground....

Thanks, Graham, have now got the iPhone and car sync’d, but it’s not a great system TBH – OK to receive calls but making outgoing requires use of the handset, so I will look at the cost of a Parrot as I do lots of miles and need the phone as a business tool…………..but love the LC. Two days after...

OK collected the vehicle today (2009 Invincible), all seems fine, great to drive – but am struggling to get Bluetooth working – can’t seem to find anything in handbook to say how to hook iPhone up to car, is this possible please?

Have now bought 2009 Invincible, 85K miles, proper Toyotawarranty, collect in a week – thanks for your guidance, am like kid in toy shop…………..

Thanks, Graham, most reassuring!

Thanks for that, Mr Grass - whole car seems huge amount more civilised than my old 90 series cars.............other option is LC3 150 but it's a big jump in cost, an extra £5K or so, and I'm not sure it's worth the extra..........

Hello, looking at buying 2008 Invincible D4-D with 100K miles on clock – good car and history but Iwill put on another 30K miles per annum. Any views on high mileage 120’s of this vintage, please?Things to watch out for? It’s after the range with injector issues………. Many thanks for any advice.
