  1. Hello, I'm from Chile,Patagonia, South America. My brother and I bought 2 LC 200 VX Diesel on April 2008. We imported them from Belgium. This summer we went to the Chilean Patagonia and we traveled about 1000 Km on off-road . We were shocked with the dust that ingress into the cabin in both LC 200. We asked to our local dealer and he said that "It's normal" Yes, sure .....normal Well I don't think so., I'm not agree with that. It's absolutely unusual that you can see the dust flying in front of your face . It supposes that the LC it's made for this kind of off road travels It's unacceptable that a vehicle of that COST present that kind of problem. I have made the same travel many times in my old Land Rover Discovery 300 Tdi 1996 .... and surprise!!! I never had this disagreeable problem. Recently I've been in Bolivia and I've suffered the same problem ,a lot of dust in the cabin. I really appreciate that if you heard of any solution could send me an e-mail (jmalcalde@netline.cl) I hope that my English was understandable. Sincerely, Jose Miguel. Jose, try this. Always use "Fresh" on gravel with fan at medium. Never use "Recirc" on the gravel unless there is oncoming traffic, and then switch back to "Fresh" Never follow others in the dust - just pull over and wait.. What I normally do with oncoming traffic, is crank the fan up high for 10-20 seconds, and the put onto "Recirc" when passing the other vehicle, and then back to "Fresh". Our 200 LC has 62,000 km's and about 15,000 of these km's, are on dirt. TCO. TCO, Thanks for your recommendations. Next time I'll try it. Regards, José Miguel.
  2. Actually in both. On February I've been in our Patagonia( where we a have lots of volcanos, some of them in activity) and few days ago I 'been in the North of Chile in Atacama desert . In both occasions drive the LC was a real pleasure.

  5. Hello, I have a LC 200 VX V8 Diesel, 2008 ( without KDSS) I wonder if it's possible to install a Sub-Tank ( 70 lt) Toyota original in my LC. ¿Any one know if it's possible to do this?
