    Stuck rear caliper

    Hi all, Never worked on brakes before but found out my rear caliper is stuck. Watched videos on YouTube and took it off the rotor. I opened the slides screws, they look clean inside. Pushed the pad against the piston with a 9" C-Clamp, worked. Started the car and pumped the brakes until ABS...

    20 year old timing belt

    Decided to open the cover yesterday and this is how it looked. Looks very good to me! Very smooth, with no cracks. Thought I share the pictures! At 80k miles now, driving ~3k miles per year, will definitely change it at 100k mark! I over tourqued one of the 3 screws when I put it back and...

    My 2nd 100, this one from Japan!

    . I am back! After I sold Lexy last Christmas, I was looking forward to import a Nissan Patrol from Japan, but for every Patrol I found there were over 20 Landcruisers. I failed to find a Patrol for the right price, the scarcity of it makes it at least 40% more expensive than a...

    Alignment issue

    Hi, so i took my lx to 3 shops for alignment, all of them couldnt figure it out, they tell me all adjustments on both sides of the tie rods are maxed out, and there are no more threads to adjust TOE. I need to keep the steering wheel at 10 o'clock to drive straight. 2 shops suggested opening...

    Do you offroad your 100?

    Hi Guys, Now that I did Fins & Things, and Hells Revenge (didnt do Hells Gate and the tubs had high water level), I am just wondering how many of you actually take the Legendary 100 offroad, and what trail difficulty do you push your 100 to? With exception to Hells Gate and the Tubs, my LX did...

    Ironman 4x4 Foam Cell Pro

    Hello! Reason to replace AHC: Flushing AHC with new fluids before the trip helped improve the ride a bit but still rough. In Jasper, Alberta, the system started acting up and would raise the front to EXTRA H and back at N. I had to take the fuse out many time to reset it, but it ends up in...

    Fuel quality in the US

    Hello, I have always used SHELL premium 91 in Canada for my previous bmw becuase i it has no ethanol. But since i got my lx470 5 months ago, the manual said 87 or higher, and i tried 87, 89, 91 and not much difference in mpg, but pick up is better with 91, so i said stick to 87 since i dont...

    Steering is not smooth

    Bought my LX with small steering rack leak that mechanics assured me is very minor, and in 3 months I never had to top off the fluids, but did flush the oil 3 times (turkey baster method) because I always had issues with the steering not being smooth. I thought the oil was old. It feels like...

    Hello, Before going offroading this morning, I was doing check-ups,,,, decided to open the engine oil-fill cap, and saw this dry oil ,,,, is this evidence of sludge or dirt in the engine? Previous owner said he always used synthetic. I got the car 3 months ago at 235km, now it is at 241km. I...

    OBD2 for 100 series

    I have Engine light + VCS + VSC lights on during an offroad trip. A guy plugged in his OBD2 and said it is the catalytic converter. The oxygen sensor there was rattling, the screw was missing the nut I guess, so we tightened it with wire. My question: now I wanna get my own OBD2 so I can get...
