Guys guys guys, how can you even discuss about such low prices...? I just got the price for LC200 Exec V8 diesel with all bells and whistles from my dealer in Finland: 71.600e Sounds nice, doesn't it? Except that it does not include EU Customs 10%, VAT 22% nor the Finnish motor vehicle tax. When the...

Hi! I have a lot of experience with electric engine block & cabin heaters but not with J12. In my J12 I have a Webasto ThermoTopC with T100HTM remote and I'm happy with it, I have no need for electric heater. I installed the Webasto because electricity is not available everywhere, for example at...

Hi! Replacing the park light bulb in J12 is very quick and simple, although makes your hands dirty... 1. For the left bulb, turn first the steering wheel 30-50% right and for the right one of course turn to left (you get more space...) 2. Unscrew one or two screws (I don't remember) from the inner p...

Sorry for English, but I'm sure you understand it much better than my German... In my J12 AC light started to blink 3 months after the end of guarantee. Of course. In practice it meant that the A/C did not work, blinking is the error message. The reason was relay which was stuck. I asked the dealer ...

Hi! I have no problems when driving my J12 (BFG AT 265/70R17) with snowchains ONLY in rear axle. I tried them also to the front axle in garage - no way! There is enough "air" on top, front and back, but the chain is touching the suspension on the inside. You need at least 30mm spacers to f...

Hi! No problem, in Finland they sell different diesel depending on the season and how far north you are. There are several different types available: -10 Summer ("Kesä") -15 Autumn ("Syksy") -25 Southern winter ("Talvi") -34 Northern winter ("Talvi") -44 Arcti...

Hi! In my J12 BFG A/T 265/70R17 (steel wheels) did not fit directly to the back door because the tyre was touching the door. Problem solved with 5 washers (unterlagscheibe) in all 3 bolts, which took the wheel about 20mm outward. Now the clearance between the tyre and the door is about 2-3mm. Note! ...

Have you listened the sound quality (and volume...) of the original stereo? I'm not sure if the cable sets are the same or not, but I must say I was very positively surprised about the quality of the original player. I did not expect anything but  "radio with some shoeboxes as speakers" so...

Hallo,

Have a look at CarConsoles website. The mounting instructions are almost instructions to build one yourself...

Hi! Two more links: Stockholm (S) - Turku (FI)  Seawind , cheaper than Silja/Viking Travemünde (D) - Helsinki (FI) Finnlines Finnlines is quite expensive but the most convenient way to travel to Finland by car and ferry. All meals - which are really good - are included. Departure is in the evening, ...

Two questions: 1. I have J12 VX (5 doors, original springs and suspension) with BFG AT 265/70R17. Has anybody used snowchains in J12 with this tyre size? So is there enough space for chains or should I just have the original tyre size 265/65R17? 2. Recommendations for chains? Make, model, size? Acco...
