    How to Dim the Satnav Screen at night ?

    To dim the Sat Nav Screen when the headlights go on, you use the Dash Dimmer, mine was set all the way fully clockwise, which was fully brightness. By turning the dimmer knob anti clockwise it clicks and then dims the dash back lights, then also the main screen goes into night lights. when the...

    How to Dim the Satnav Screen at night ?

    THis is causing trouble, I have had the LC200 for about 6 months now, but I just cannot find the night setting for the screen. You know when you turn the headlights on, the screen goes into a night setting, dim display and sometimes a different darker colour for the sat nav maps. But mine...

    Ownership - From a Amazon V8 4.7 to a 2012 V8 Deisel feedback please

    Info for people who are looking to change from a Amazon V8 to a 200 series V8 Oil Burner. The V8 Petrol Amazon was a classic, it was simply the best 4x4 by far, if I could have kept it I would have done. If you can buy one, buy it and keep it, it has everything and more. The Petrol V8 mated to...

    Well thats that then, the end of the V8 Landcruiser

    I looked at the black and the grey interior and they are all a bit boring and Toyota-ish specially the grey, as my Amazon V8 had the grey, we wanted something a bit more worth the 48K LOL ! a bit different. Its going well, just toured Cornwall and Lands End :) it eats up the miles

    I Purchased my 2014 LC200 V8 because they are made well. Yes I could have gone for a Range Rover Super Charged HSE with everything for the same money. But everyone has got one of them round here. Theres so many older Range Rovers where people have added body kits etc and made them look awful...

    2016 LC - US Model - Video Screens

    I agree about the rear screens, what's it all about ? unless they can stream Netflix or amazon video, then they are no use at all. This is my families conclusion when we Purchased our 200V8

    how to updat the maps of the navigation system?

    YEs I certainly agree that Google maps on a iPad are far better than any car satnav system, as they are live and show the traffic status.

    ITs been on the Toyota site for a few weeks now, but no one has mentioned it on here. Toyota no longer make the LC200 V8 Diesel. Its the end of a era :( https://www.toyota.co.uk/new-cars/land-cruiser-v8/land-cruiser-v8-story.json

    Ownership - From a Amazon V8 4.7 to a 2012 V8 Deisel feedback please

    Well today I test drove a 2014 V8 and was pleased. The Throttle response not as quick as the V8 Petrol, but the pure luxury made up for that. I found a 2014 plate with 19K on the clock, very happy (apart from parting with rather a lot of money)

    Sold my V8 4.7 :(

    Yes, it was collected yesterday. Very sad to see it go, its been so much fun to own and have done so much with it over the years. Very low millage for a 52 plate 82000 ! I have cheered up a bit, as I bought a 2014 V8 this morning with only 19K on the clock. So was only out of the Fold for 1...

    Thank you for the reply, yes mine is a 02 not a 2012. To be honest your answer is roughly my fears. I dont do many miles which is why I opted for a Petrol V8 and its only done 69K miles :( so mine is the one to keep and look after. Lots of my roads are B roads consisting of pot holes and grass...

    Brighter headlights??

    I fitted HIDS 35 watts for high and low, a bit of a pain when selecting high as they take 2 seconds to burn up to full power, I fitted LED to the front Fog lights, Fitted LED to all doors and tail gate number plate

    Hi folks I have a low milage 2012 V8 Petrol Amazon, and I love it to bits. The Auto box and fly by wire throttle is as quick as anything. Pulling away at lights etc, the instant power really does make this a great vehicle. BUT ... its now 12 years old and I'm thinking on spending a extra £30K...
