:thumbdown: Thanks !!! No all cyclists are the same just like there are a few richard heads that drive cars. Cant tar everyone with the same brush though. :naughty:

:thumbdown: Anyone about !! Im sure someone somewhere will know about my problem or know someone who has had similar problem. Its doing my nut in. Ive had the car a week and cant get exited about it as its a pain in the ass every gear change :oops: :sick:

Checked the uj`s and they are all ok. I was thinking id hear them clunk when i went on and of the throttle, but its quiet when i do that. :think: Any one got any other ideas :?: Do they have a dual mass flywheel on them ?? :shifty:

There was a fuel station near me that sold bio a year or 2 since so im thinking it might still sell it. Would it be a bad idea using it in my colorado d4d ?? I know newer engines need clean fuel but not sure if mine would be classed as a newer engine. Any views would be greatfull :whistle:

Thanks for the ideas... I dont know why i never thought of that. :oops: Good idea and ill give them a check and see the outcome. My mate who is a mechanic wondered if it had a dual mass flywheel and wondered if it could be something to do with that !!! Im hoping its the uj`s or something...

Just bought a manual 3.0 d4d colorado and found that when changing gear it seems to have a delay between lifting the clutch pedal and it engaging and the throttle pedal resopnding resulting a bit of a clunk. Hope this makes sence as i cant reaily describe it any better. Anyone know what it...

Thank guys ill look into them. ;)

I now have bought a 51 plate colorado 3.0 d4d and the tyres will need replacing soon so i was wondering what you guys have tryed tested and recomend. They are 265 70 16 and i will be doing mostly road with a very small fraction of off roading. When i had my surf i was recomended the Kamac and...

How can you tell the different powers apart. Is there any different things to look for or in the engine or vin number ?? I phoned toyota and told them the engine number and they said it was 170bhp and 6 speed but it was very sluggish and must of been 123 bhp and was only 5 speed. This is like a...

Thanks for that mate. Im up in cleveland though right oop norf.. Are you selling yours or was it just to have a look at a good one and get familiar with them ?? :thumbup:

Am i right thinking the 1KD-FTV D4D engines are 163bhp and the 1KZTE engines are 123bhp ?? They dont seem to tell you whats what anywhere on the net. Im looking for a 163 bhp one for towing but i dont know if all the D4D`s are all 163 or are they also 123 aswell :think: :?

Thanks again. I went for a look at this one and got a lift down with the guy who bought my van and went to see this 2001 and it was a dog unfortunatly and ended up getting the train back up. :oops: :thumbdown: Is its hard to find a manual 163hp model thats not been down and through every...

Thanks for the reply. The engine code is 1kd. This does mean its a d4d doesnt it ?? Cheers. :)

Im just about to go look at an 01 landcruiser with supposing d4d engine and its done 140000 miles. Just spoke to a mechanic who said that he has reapired many d4d engines in the cars and were on 03 upwards heads cracking and gaskets going and injectors and a whole load of other things. Would a...

The first landcruiser i was going to travell 280 miles to have a look at and hopefully buy has turned out to be a cat D when it was 2 years old. The person who did the check said it would have been a massive repair due to the vehicle been worth still quite a lot and its between 60% and 90% of...
