Thanks. Might turn into a job for the mechanic at the next service. I'm too impatient to be laying in the dirt.

Very silly question here.... How do I access the oil sender module? I'm assuming from below? Do I have to remove the wind/stone plate to access, or just one of the port hole covers?

I just clicked over 400,000... but only kilometers (forgot to take a photo!) I should be good to go for another 600,000km after blowing the water pump in January, and having to do a complete top end rebuild.

I grew up in the 80s... you could easily fit me and my 3 cousins in the "third row"! No ducking when you pass a cop too.

I would be more worried about the apparent lack of blue plate than anything else. Its definitely not a sensible purchase, or everyday driver, arguably a novelty car at best. But that does mean there isn't someone out there to keep it alive.

Agree with you, that they should have done the chassis extension. I wished they had done that with mine as the load in the tray site past the wheels (not that I can get more than a few hundred kg in the back anyway) I think it might be that dual diesel/LPG setup. It's not super popular here in...

https://www.grays.com/lot/0001-21025646/4x4/1994-toyota-landcruiser-gxl-fzj80-manual-wagon I already own a chopped 100 series, but I spied this one Graysonline, and I would hate to see it get broken up or left to die. Surely there is someone out in the IH8MUD world who would buy this and give...

I have a 75L fridge, and even as a single person I could go bigger if I was off grid for more than a few days. Having said I lose one compartment to a freezer section, so the effective refrigeration section is only small. Do you have panels to keep your battery topped up? If you have panels...

The good thing is that this setup will be for a hut/caravan. So it will only have panels, controller, batteries, inverter, plus a few lights. This means there shouldn't be any cost implications going 24V, or the implications are small. But I have the added benefit of low amp cabling between the...

Its been a sad long 3 months for me. My old girl was coming up to the 400,000 big service. Had it all booked in on the Tues for new timing belt and water pump replacement. $2.5k that I didn't really have, but neither did I have the time or space to do these things myself. On the Saturday before...

Before or after fitting the tyres?

Thanks for the reply. I whole heartedly agree, but much like the megapixel wars of the 2000s, everyone either doesnt provide the amp output, or I'm betting over inflates the number. What I might do is hook up one battery, and then if it gets too hot, add another battery.

I've done a poke around with the search function, since I thought this would be a common question, but haven't been able to find the answer I want. Basically I'm looking at getting a handle on how many batteries does it take to run a 2500W inverter? Obviously it depends on the load, but I'm...

Everyone reaches a point in their curing, when they buy a slicer to cut their meats up perfectly. Much like owning a Landcruiser, the more you learn, the more you learn that you need more things/toys to plug those gaps in consistency/reliability.

The Engel is relying on pulling cold air from the freezer side into the fridge side. So you can't actually control both side independently. From what I've seen its the same with the other brands. Plus you lose the full wrap of the chiller coils around the chamber, so the temp becomes uneven...
