My 2008 Landcruiser has a transmission problem. Both the dealer and a indy repair shop have recommended replacing the transmission. Toyota says 14 weeks before they can have one brought in. I’ve looked at used car parts Sites and haven’t found anything I would be comfortable buying. Any other...

Discovered a good bit of water on the front passenger floor mat this afternoon. The carpet rising up to the firewall was wet too. Checked windows and sunroof--all closed. Light rain all day but never had a leak before. Any obvious things I should look for? Thanks for any advice.

Thank you!

My 2008 Landcruiser hit 200,000 miles last month. I’ve owned it since new. I changed all the fluids last week (engine oil, differential fluid, transmission etc.) I’ve never had any drivetrain issues in all my ownership. But since I changed the fluids, the 4LO light on my dashboard keeps...

Just hit 200,000 miles on my 2008 LC. What maintenance items should I tackle? Oil, filter Plugs Fuel Filter Air filters Flush brake fluid, radiator, transmission and diffs? Replace belts? hoses? thermostat?

Mine is a '08, silver, SC, 140K

Thanks! I was able to diagnose the problem to a incorrectly installed cabin air filter. Everything now works properly.

Has anyone else experienced their A/C being completely unresponsive for the first few seconds after starting? The off button and other buttons on the dash don't respond, the system won't turn on, but after about 15-20 seconds it's starts working normally. Any thoughts on what could cause this...

Mine broke too, cost a fortune to replace the lock.

Just hit 100k on my 2008 Landcruiser. What preventative maintenance should I do other than regular stuff? Water pump, hoses, belts etc? Any advice?

I got it. Had to recalibrate windows by holding them in the down position for 15 seconds and then holding them in the up position for 15 seconds. Works fine now.

My 2008 LC (99,000 miles) had the battery die today. Replaced it with a red top optima. Once hooked a couple of problems appeared. The the auto up/down for both driver side doors doesn't work. Also, the rear driver side door window doesn't respond to any input from the driver door...

I don't post often but I do use this forum for research. It really paid off a few weeks ago. I had a problem with my outside rearview mirrors shaking when on the highway. I took my LC in for an oil change and asked the dealer to check it out. Their report: replace the entire motor...

No No, everything is stock.

My 2008 LC started doing the weirdest thing this week. While driving in the city, the warning lights on the dash started flashing, the doors locked and unlocked themselves, the overhead lights were flashing--it got worse anytime I tried to turn the LC. Of course I took it to the dealer for a...
