    Drain hole under windscreen moulding?? Or is water pooling somewhere?

    Many thanks-- from what I am also hearing if water enters one of the missing pop rivets it drains and there is no plug at the base of the pillar (or so I hope as well...). I am also hearing that if the gasket under the roof rails starts to leak, then the screws holding the rail can rust and...

    Drain hole under windscreen moulding?? Or is water pooling somewhere?

    Good day all, I have recently had to replace my windscreen in my 100 series (2005) after driving to the arctic. One of the mouldings was ''butchered' on replacement and needs replacing (again) as the top 'rivet' holding it down has broken off and there is a small hole. Toyota claims the water...

    Defroster/ ice puzzle/arctic circle

    Happy New Year to all, My wonderful HDJ100 just drove to the arctic circle in Sweden from London and curiously on most of a 10 hour snowstorm heading back to Denmark, I could not keep up with the ice forming on the windshield. We had to stop and scrap the windshield approx. every 15min. I...

    Diesel Particulate Filters-- can they be added to HDJ100 4.2TD?

    Worse...with the advent of cameras in cities they simply "track" who/ what enters" and I suppose somewhere check vs. some database. So far striking out on finding an aftermarket approach like adding a diesel particle filter of 'ad blue' approach-- but determined to investigate at my HDJ100 is...

    Diesel Particulate Filters-- can they be added to HDJ100 4.2TD?

    Greetings Some countries in Europe are now requiring diesel particulate filters to enter cities or Euro 4+ norms to be met. Is it possible to 'add on' a DPF and not screw up an amazing truck? Or does anyone know a work-around? Many thanks

    Ignition- key question

    Greetings, I have been experiencing a less than "confidence inspiring' feeling when I put my original key in the igntion. I recently used the Yotamd Titanium frame (which is great!) to secure my key and cracked plastic housing (from 2005) but when I turn the 'new'key unless I am slow and...

    Key repair— silly question but

    Greetings, my original 2005 key fob on HDJ100 is having some “wobble” issues. I have tried to repeatedly tighten the tiny screw but suspect over 16 years the plastic housing where the metal key inserts has worn. The key is moving in the housing and makes me nervous. About to head off for a few...

    AHC Performance

    7 people were 5 'kids' and 2 adults. I take the point things might have improved or it was misunderstood-- but once, twice bitten, no more 'risk' for me and OME works flawlessly albeit a bit harder and a rake so it can get 'loaded'. Having a L/C that can't be loaded (especially the HDJ100 with...

    AHC Performance

    Curious how so many folks are positive on AHC. I owned a 2004 (HDJ100 ) from new and had repeated incidents with sensor(s) failures (in Switz.). Toyota replaced many sensors and on several occassions I had the front end when in normal at full height (go figure) and the rear lower. This...

    VGRS HELP

    Good day, My 2006 HDJ100 started with VGRS light continually on this past weekend and shortly thereafter now steering wheel is 90 degrees askew. 3 months ago I had Toyota replace the motor to adjust position of steering wheel (no idea if 3 months later this could be linked??). My turbo-diesel...

    DIY: Telescoping Column Motor Removal/Repair

    Thanks for the input. In fact I got so fed up with the sensors and suspension that I ripped it out and put OME and not a problem since doing so 4 years ago. Pity I waited 10 years. Unlike my FJ80 and FJ40 o bloody electronics to fail! Imagine a “modern” Land Cruiser without unnecessary...

    Power tilt steering wheel issue

    Thanks for the info and link — very helpful. The cost of the motor is a whopping amount in Europe and Toyota estimate 3h labor. How can you disable the “return to home” Function when you turn motor off to not wear out new motor. I am fine with manually adjusting position with joypad. If you...

    Power tilt steering wheel issue

    Hi guys, My power tilt/ telescoping steering wheel adjustments has stopped going up or down. It will move inwards and outwards but the problem is the steering wheels is in the low position (hitting knees!). Any thoughts on what could cause this? I have noticed that compared 'to the old days'...

    ARB safari front bumper

    Greetings, A delivery truck hit my parked HDJ100 and I have noticed the steel bumper has 'dropped' about 1/2 inch at point of impact (corner) when compared with non-hit corner. Does anyone happen to know if there is scope for adjusting the bumper (side to side) so I can get it level- I have...
