I understand what you mean, and I've seen fluctuations in idle before when AC kicks in, but it's normally a very minor change (maybe 50rpm) in all my petrol based automatics. I've also tried switching the AC off and it hasn't made any difference in this case. My cruiser is still under...

I've only had my LC200 for a couple of weeks so I have no idea if this is abnormal for the LC200 Diesel or not.. Basically when my truck is idling (either in Park, or Drive - but stopped with my foot on the brake), the revs move back and forth between 500 and 750RPM. Its not like a rough idle...

Thanks everyone. Is the location irrespective of LHD/RHD or is it always on the drivers side?

I'm trying to work out if my 2010 4.5 D-4D cruiser has KDSS so I can go about preventing the valve rust I've been reading about. I had a quick look under my car today, but from the pictures on the forum of the KDSS valve its hard to relate to whereabouts under the car it actually is located and...

is it an eBay special? Ive seen Toyota OEM ones for the 2012+ LC200, but not for the older years and I think they changed the front bumper on the '12 refresh didn't they? TBH i'm more interested in it for the form than the function.

Thats a damn shame, because I think I'd still quite like them with more conservative offsets. I also love the skid plate on the front bumper but cant find those anywhere either for a 2010.

Hi all, does anyone know the name of these rims. I'm totally besotted with them but cannot find them anywhere:

Yeah, the 4.5L Cruiser is really rare over here in the UK. I wonder if I could ship off my ECU to one of the companies you mentioned, have it flashed and sent back to me. Is the gearbox/TC software part of the main ECU do you know?

Hi all, I'm totally besotted with these wheels. Does anyone know what they are called?

I'm in the UK which seems to make finding stuff for this Cruiser pretty hard! I'd ideally like to go for a full blanking plate over the EGR, but I havent found a UK company that can re-program the ECU yet. Is there any particular catch can to go for?

Hey all, My LC200 has 50k on the clock and I'm thinking about performing a mini strip-down to clean out some of the carbon deposits. After I've done this I will want to stop them accumulating again, so my questions are: 1) Blocking the EGR - How to? / does the car need a box of tricks to...

Cheers for the reassurance - I will keep my fingers crossed :)

Hi all, First post (of hopefully many) here. I'm Jim from the UK, and I've just bought myself an LC200 4.5 D-4D. I've been grabbing a few JDM parts on eBay to spruce up the appearance a bit and last night accidentally purchased a new smoked chrome front grille for a 2012-2015 LC200. As far as...
