    105 series parking brake indicator on

    Today my parking brake indicator has come on while the engine was on and the parking brake lever fully released. The manual suggests that it may indicate low brake fluid or low vacuum. I checked brake fluid and it is fine, I don't know how I could check vacuum. The vehicle drives and brakes...

    HZJ105 glow plug light

    I have a 2004 105-series with a 1HZ and I noticed today that the glow plug light on the instrument cluster comes on while the engine is running. It comes on as usual when I first turn the key, goes out after several seconds as usual and then I start the engine as usual. However, unusually...

    Add central locking for doors?

    I've got a 2004 HZJ 105-series base model that has manual windows and no central locking for the doors (and as far as I know it never did prior to my purchase of the vehicle in 2017). This wasn't an issue before but now that we have a baby, it's a little annoying having to unlock the front...

    Mismatched spare

    I've found a few other posts about mismatched spare tires but none with the sizes I have so please bear with me through this. I bought my 105 series about 3 years ago and it's due for new tires. Really it only needs two new tires but I'm replacing all four so they all have matching tread and...

    Transmission or oil leak?

    I noticed a couple drops on my driveway today and had a look underneath. It seems to be leaking around the front of the clutch housing (see photos). For the last couple of years I had noticed some seepage around that area but never noticed any drips so I didn't worry about it. Now that I'm...

    105-series 1HZ won't start

    Went to drive to work this morning and the cruiser wouldn't start. It would only crank a few times really slowly and then not start. I tried pumping the button on the fuel filter until there was resistance but no change in starting. I don't have a voltmeter but the instrument cluster still...

    Wrong grade oil

    Alright, I screwed up royally today. I changed the oil in my 2004 HZJ105 and realized afterward that I used the wrong oil. I put in semi synthetic 15W-40 API SM instead of API CF-4 (or CH-4, whatever the new equivalent is). I did a test drive of maybe 5 minutes or less once I changed it. I know...

    New Land Cruiser owner

    Hi everyone, I'm a new member and poster here. I just bought a 2004 Land Cruiser HZJ105 and I'm hoping to start doing some of my own maintenance on it. I did take it to the dealer once I got it to find out what needed to be done but I'd like to get some advice here and maybe some tips and tricks...
