    Red and green scv swap

    Tech stream it. I didn't have to, but the internet seems to think a 'scv relearn' maybe needed (?) whatever that might be. It was a swap in for me thought.

    usa to spain move?

    Why not ? One reason I can think of is to get a second one, leave one back home, drive a local one in Spain!

    How clean a car can be

    I think cars need to be used for what they are intended, some will do long term preservation etc but end of the day, if it ticks your box - it's all good. A great aspect to consider is that some people will pursue a lower milage vehicle, while others won't touch a car that's not been used enough.

    Transmission Cable

    A small voltmeter wired in will help keep an eye on the alternator doing it's thing. You are more likely to have a parasitic leak somewhere. Even simple things like corrosion on the negative strap can have some wild and wonderful challenges.

    Gremlins in the suspension

    120 LC5 with the airbag. I have a weird problem. My brake light bulb on the rear right went off, but it wasn't just the bulb - the air suspension stopped working too. Replaced the bulb and it's all back again. But again this evening ( after two weeks), the bulb has failed and the suspension...

    Good Driving Practices. Do they really matter

    When you turn on the ignition the car dies everything it needs to, and let's you know via the dash lights that is ready to go. At which point you start it. And leave. Just drive it. It's what it's there for. Maybe... be sympathetic to the conditions and intent.

    New Ford Capri...

    I am not sure there is huge demand. There is some, in a few corners. And maybe a few specialist builders will do something, but by and large that boat has sailed. The Grenadier was meant to be such a thing, and even they have gone to a more middle ground posture just to try do something.

    Towing with a 1HZ: experiences?

    @DerekV maybe I didn't word it well, but the 1hz is a nice place to be in without a doubt. I drive one everyday more or less. But buying a new one in 2025 is where things go a bit nutty. And again, make sure you drive one before you buy one!

    Towing with a 1HZ: experiences?

    It has to work harder than a 1kd - I guess you can try fix that with a turbo. The gearing ratio are very low, to compensate - but you can fix that too. Its also not euro-anything-worthwhile, suspect that too is fixable(?). Yes, it was great in 80's, the 90's - and it's a great feeling to be...

    Towing with a 1HZ: experiences?

    You need to drive a 1hz yourself and check what gearbox you have on the new 70. I have a 1hz, and I will not tow anything. It's ok to load the car up with the family, dog and a week's worth of supplies and a roof tent. But seriously, while people do it, it's not worth towing with it. Keep the...

    @frank rabbets I use a slightly modified version of this Pi-hole – Network-wide Ad Blocking - [Leaving Land Cruiser Club] - depending on how much effort you are willing to put in. I think there are some services you can use for low cost/free of cost as well.

    Ah I see. For a few minutes I thought you were getting a new 76 but with the 1hz, which I think is no longer possible. 4 month wait seems excessive. Are you importing the vehicle ?

    Right I don't see them at home or on my own networks since all the advert service dns's are blocked. I do see them when I am away from about trusted WiFi. I guess this has something to do with ' I do not consent to my data being used for various activities'

    To Do or Not To Do - Injectors

    To answer your question, if it's driving ok - 90% chance you have no long term problem. With the injectors you need to think pipes and bits too. Lots of info about that on here.

    Batteries

    My original battery pair in the 120 did 10 years. So they may well be the pair the car was born with.
