    Heavy steering.

    How do you mean 2wd? Looking at the EPC for GKAEYW - it's the base 120, unless your transfer case is busted or someone added free wheeling hubs along the way, you are permanent 4wd. For the power steering, I guess you did the basic checks etc already, flush the fluid make sure no leaks or air...

    UK Media on the 250

    Yeah Guess we will see when it lands. The general message though is that the 250 is an overall lower luxury spec compared to the 150. Toyota seem to be positioning it at the top end of the 4 runner rather than the tundra on the US and have the Lexus G series take on the defender, range rover...

    Lots of people in Australia saying the 4cy pulls better than the V8 outgoing.. that's at least one data point.

    UK Media on the 250

    Orders been taken in EU at 53k EUR and in the US $57k ; so hopefully they stay in the ballpark there. Other thing is, I think they are not going to compete with the defender too much in the UK/EU - Defenders are on discount at the moment, it will be wild if Toyota end up having to discount the...

    CANbus theft.

    None that I could find :( I tried to find some docs around the pre obd-2 specs and came up short. The first ring includes the fuel injection and the drive train side ( but not the suspension controls ), and the 4th ring is the entertainment system, all the milage records and the locking system...

    CANbus theft.

    On the 120 I think the canbus only hosts a few things. The 150 maybe more (ignition included ?)

    Leisure Battery Alternative ?

    Lithium typically can't generate the high cca needed to turn the engine, but they are much higher capacity in themselves. A 50Ah lifepo4 will give you more current than a 110Ah lead leisure battery, and will do 3000+ power cycles compared to 400 on a Lead battery. They can also be mounted in...

    9"+ floating screen in 100 series

    It's it really worth it these days ? I have been meaning to look at just an android tablet with a PAYG SIM card. I suspect on your 100hd a Bluetooth OBD will also get you some car data ( nothing like that on the 105hz ).

    Ah if you are ever around for one of the club meets you are welcome to look at mine. I have the 50/50 up and over. I think @nick_the_fish has split barn doors(?). 1hd hundy = the 1hd based 100 series ( the normal one in the UK, with turbo and bigger gearbox, also usually auto ). What...

    105 turbo diesel

    It's a hard question to answer to be honest. I don't think it does, and I also have no problems in a convoy of 80s, just a bit slower off the block. With a family and dog onboard, with a week's worth of supply and a roof tent etc, it never felt lethargic to me. But yes, you need to give...

    Injector Swap

    These were denso refurb, they would not supply to me direct, which is how I ended up at a diesel specialist. Apparently they are only warrantied if fitted at a denso 'approved' place ( and they had some constraints around the coding as well ) I can get the details, but it will be other side of...

    Fwiw, I went down to route of getting refurb + exchange of old set. £980 is what it cost me fully fitted, about 6 months ago.

    suspension

    I have airbags being an lc5, and they seem to be expected to last 250k miles. The front shocks, with the Toyota electric control seems to be going well at 80k+ miles ; so from a life perspective I would say the OE kit is fine With the lift, I am sure they will 'fit'. But no idea what the extra...
