The larger side of the rear seats in my 2001 model doesn't fold forward. There is a 'loose' feel to the slider knob and I _think_ the cable to the release hatch is severed or loose. I can't find a way to remove the seats or get to the release latch to fold the seats forward and take a look at...

Changed out the speaker grill mesh cloth on all speakers. Should have sprung for a higher quality mesh, the colour did not match the pictures on Amazon and I'm sceptical about the durability of the fabric. Used spray adhesive and it seems to have discoloured the mesh a bit. Still, only took just...

Changed the fuel filter in my 2001 V8 today, probably for the first time in the last 350.000 km. Still runs so 🤞 .

Thanks @Mike NXP , I'll check power around the relay.

I'm revamping my 2001 LC100, so this weekend I replaced the burned out D bulp in the dash, put in a new V8 logo on the back, installed new fog lights and new wind shield wiper arms (front and back). Personally, don't see a problem with the D bulb, it dims when the lights are turned off and...

As part of a "revamp", instead of a restoration of my 2001 LC 100, I installed a brand new power antenna to replace the fixed antenna a previous owner had installed (to replace.. a broken power antenna). Before the install, both the buttons in the dash to raise and lower the antenna triggered...

Thanks guys, I didn't know about the fuses on the passenger side. Will check now. The contacts looked clean to me, not sure if the whole panel would stop working if a single contact would stop working. I'll clean them anyways!

Thought about using a working switch from another door, but assumed the harness clip would not fit? I did not find the dedicated fuses for the locks and windows though, at least not in the fuse panel under the steering wheel. I've only got the FSM for the 2004 and e.g. the window motor harness...

Hi, the power window switch panel on the driver side has stopped working on my 2001 Cruiser. And to make things worse, the driver window was down and I cannot close it. None of the switches work, can't control any window, the central locking system or switch to disable window control. All other...

Sounds like the KTRS 79's will be a good fit for me. Have placed an order, now I can work on a few other things I need to fix while the coils are traveling around half the globe.. Thanks for the information PADDO, greatly appreciated. -- jon arnar

No, have not.. somehow assumed that they were only for AHC conversions. Found them on ebay for half the price of the OEM coils locally, straight from Australia. They look good, I think I'll go with them. Not sure about the yellow colour hehe. How do I dial in the rear pressure though? Since the...

Good point, I have not measure the rear height so I'm not sure how that is affecting the pressure. New coils are around 350 pounds from the local dealer (actually the only one in Iceland). I'm due for a tyre change as well, so hopefully those two changes will add up to a more comfortable ride...

The shocks are rusty but functional, no leakage. I've adjusted the neutral pressure to within spec up front, using techstream and cranking the torsion bars. Had to raise the driver side a bit, adjusted the height to a number from one of your previous posts. Think it was 51.7 cm. The neutral...

Thanks PADDO. I didn't see the nipple tube either, but wasn't sure whether that was a stock photo. The shocks are listed as compatible for the LX470, which I think came only with the AHC. The coils are not listed as compatible with the LX470 though. I'll keep looking then :) --jon arnar

Hi, I'm based in Iceland and am looking for affordable springs and shock absorbers for my 2001 4.7 V8 with AHC. I've found these on spareto.com, which are listed as compatible with the Landcruiser 100 and Lexus 470. They use oil pressure, but the other shocks on the site use gas pressure. I'm...
