Not even 100% sure they exist, but there was some mention of not being able to use them in Australia in a thread I read a while back. My car doesn't have them but there are threading mounting holes for it at either side in the crack of the rear seat. I live in NZ where you can use them and they are damn convenient for swapping the car seat between cars. Not sure what I'm willing to pay (obviously less than a second decent baby seat), but if you're looking for some weight saving removing some unused steel haha and want to make a buck hit me back! If you're in NZ even better, otherwise we can work something including just sending to my mate in Sydney so he can hand carry on his next visit

Whoops - forgot I posted this last year! I do mean child restraint anchor points - specifically the ISOFIX points that can be used instead of a seatbelt to fasten the child seat to. Still keen to hear if anyone has these fitted in their car

Is ISOFIX legal in Australia yet?

edit...

Just noticed you have mentioned you are in nz.

Anyway, Australia should hurry up and get isofix approved.

It's a way better system" we have a vf calais with a baby seat in it but really want to use the isofix system (that the car has) but it's not legal yet.

Not sure. It's all good here in NZ, and having got used to it in my wife's car, I find it a real hassle having to thread the seatbelt through the seat each time I take it in and out in my car. I can't begin to understand why it was ever illegal in Australia given how much easier it makes it to install a carseat correctly and safely. Even done properly, I can't get the car seat close to as rigidly held in my car in 15 minutes as I can in the wife's car in about 30 seconds.

      I'm normally copping my own abuse from neglecting my daily drivers. "Those suspension bushes will last a bit more", "Don't worry about the oil leak, just keep topping it up". The project cars I'm always doing things slowly on them as I'm wanting them to be done better, and neater, and nicer. Luckily I don't have to deal with 18 year old Matt's "Learning to wire" stuff in the project cars. And there's only one piece of wiring I'm displeased about in the Landcruiser, and it's about to be cut out... However, the box loads of parts that have been going through this place lately for the Landcruiser... Brake pads Brake Rotors Full handbrake overhaul Wheel Bearings Seals Swivel hubs Steering Boxes Half the suspension joints Shocks Air bags (Ones to go in the rear springs for towing) Water pump Timing kit Lower timing case Harmonic Balancer Radiator Lots of other little seals and shits Gas struts for the bonnet New power window switches And god knows what else I've forgotten... Ha ha ha I have my fingers crossed the pinion seals don't start leaking on the diffs, that the transfer case doesn't leak, and the gearbox input shaft doesn't leak, nor the rear main seal. As they're about the only seals I haven't replaced in the driveline! I'm seriously eyeing off buying new caliper rebuild kits front and rear brake calipers... I'll probably recheck all the valve clearances soon too, and hopefully, it should be all good and sweet to haul some long distance trips again!

      Every time I pull my 3x gauges out of the console and see the crack-addict way that I did the wiring, and I just can't bring myself to tear it all apart and "make it nice", because it is currently working. In fact, the last time I was in there I probably made it worse.

      The best part is when you own the car long enough that you look back and find your OWN ham fisted amateur shit!

      The annoying part about neglect, is when you start to replace one thing, and find ten more broken things. Ham fisted monkey repairs you normally only find out about when trying to do something unrelated! Ha ha   Neglect you can kind of anticipate the huge costs to fix it all. Ham fistedness is normally a shock the first time your work on a new old car, as everything "looked" good before.
