It's on it's way. On it's way finally to have it's upgrade/conversion. FTE engine, bigger turbo and intercooler and 8HP gearbox. Should hopefully be done in a month. Should make it better on the road when towing the Metalian trailer and better off road when green laning.

Today I finished dismantling this old 100 series. It came cheap with the last MOT fails reading like War and Peace. Corrosion wasn't in it, it was very poor. However the saving grace was that it came with full service history on 180 K so the engine was a peach. So then decided to replace the...

Actively seeking an LC3 120 with the 5 speed auto and pre march 06. If anyone spots anything out there can they give me a shout. Cheers

Today I brought this 80 out of the storage barn where it had been since 2011. It's a petrol version which I ran from 2010-11 and then put away to run something else. When I ran it it ran as well as you would expect at 106k miles. both times I tested it it passed no advisories, in fact it hadn't...

Probably suffering from a little " commentator's curse" here. Having in conversation been extolling the virtue's of our 120, telling everyone how good and reliable it was, providing every day transport for Maria, comfortable etc about a month ago I had by chance a drive in it. Now i'm not...

As above, the roof rack from my recently re acquired 80 series is for sale. I don't know what make it is but it's a pretty decent thing. This is what it looks like on an 80. It's in good condition in need of a little love, It is multi adjustable on the feet so its applications are...

A friend of mine with a 300K really quite smart Collie is looking for a manual gearboxed transfer box in good condition. His is rattily but not jumping the chain (yet). I thought I'd read that the TB is different on manual and auto's and wondered if they were interchangeable with modification or...

Might be interesting for anyone thinking of retro fitting the binnacle to their Collie. https://kzj95.wordpress.com/2020/05/18/inclinometre-schema-cablage/?fbclid=IwY2xjawFGo3dleHRuA2FlbQIxMAABHWCph6rluhHY4MDeGRulXKU87zWH5a1OMNNtZQE6_qWUdZD6VK_bKTXFjg_aem_42XufsrcYZW1q94cb89jVA

There it was, stored in the garage, not MOT'd since 2014. One or two members might remember me smoking this about around that period. It was in timewarp condition, underneath was remarkable and the bodywork was spot on. It's a GS with a VX (installed before I got it) interior. A local...

For sale 4 Cooper STT's 2 have 12mm one has 11mm and one has 10mm Although they are old 2007 they have been stored in the dark for years and therefore zero cracking. For some unknown reason I can't upload pics £250 collect S Yorks or maybe deliver to Bristol area sometime.

As above, it would help if I got a few suggestions as the quote from AF for the 100 ( which I rarely drive anywhere) was £503 this year with 18 years NCB . Being predominantly in the office of late I've got windows where I can do a bit of ringing around. BTW dont recommend that Dave Brewer, I...

This is a pretty local 60 which the owner ( Ian) has resurrected after being stood in an orchard for 10 years. It's got a rebuilt engine and is mechanically very good. However there were a few jobs which we've been getting through with a good few small missing parts just to finish. One main...

I agree with him, all of my nearly 50 year's working life, I have been part of this ethos, happy Friday everybody, enjoy your weekend, what ever you find to do...

There's one or two shots of us in the 80.

Had a day off and went laning in N Wales ( yesterday). A few different Jap 4x4's in this group, 3 80's ( including mine) lots of Collies and Patrols, all very capable. A few pics. I seem to have brought some of N Wales back with me. De grassed it and greased the props ready for...

Having decided to have a week off between Christmas and new Year we went for a break in the sun. Maria's nephew has a Colorado D4D manual which I wanted to see as he uses it predominantly for wild camping with his wife, small child and their friends It's set up with soft shell RT, annex...

Over time I've had quite a few conversations with a fellow member Geoff Wyman aka TALAMAN on here. He lives in Paphos Cyprus and we had met up last time we were here. The plan was to be taken out for the day in his Prado into the hills for an look around. I spoke to him a couple of months ago...

I've had the alloy front bumper on the 80 for a good while now, which I have liked but doing quite a bit of green laning I've felt the need to fit a winch as nearly everyone I go out with has one. I've had the tubular bar and winch tray on an 80 I've had kicking about for at least 10 years so I...

This might require a bit of help from overseas where the V6 Prado/Colorado is a bit more common. The Collie starts up and runs fine but when it's warm it has a hesitation for a second before it sets off from a tickover, as you would set off from a junction or entering a roundabout from a...

It got a lot worse than this, 30-40 cm. This was only on the high ground. when you dropped 2-300 ft it was raining. The 80 was awesome, never put a tyre wrong and there was some really steep snowy climbs and descents I got right to the campsite and couldnt get the final 10m into the entrance to...

As above a stainless exhaust for a 60 series. came off a square headlight model. I don't know how old it is but its been stood in the workshop for at least 12 years. I kept it " just in case" but I know I won't be needing it now. Still got the remains of the sticker on the box. Vastly...

Off on its way to do whatever the new owner wants to do with it. Only 91k from new and reputedly one of the very last registered. Needs a bit of love but great potential. Been stood in the workshop at least 12 years but started instantly, as they do.

As above a Direct 4x4 drawer Chris had in the Hilux. Its on roller bearings but quite long. £250.00

EasyAwn cube shower/toiler tent for sale. was fitted the the rear of Chris's Hilux on the Patriot roof rack. No pics of it erected but I remember its quite a thing. £150.00.

Tuff Trek Speedwing 270 degree awning. Used once. With mounting brackets. £600.00 Also sides for the above. Again used once £400.00 These represent a good saving on new and am putting these up on here before putting them on FB Marketplace and other platforms.

Went a bimble around Northumberland lanes last weekend.

I bought this in 2003 and ran it till 2005 when I MOT'd it and backed it into the garage to do " a job or two" There it stayed till this year when someone expressed an interest in buying it so I had to resurrect it to pass it on. Its a 2H engined automatic with an LSD axle and air con...

I have the chance of a Tuff Trek Speedwing with sides. As I know the Ostrich wing and Foxwing variants I wondered if anyone had any experience of the Tuff Trek awning as a comparison. Thanks

this mornings job was the N/S wheel bearing on the 120. Simple and straight forward if you buy the ready built hub and bearing assembly. I hadn't driven this for a good while and only that Maria said the ABS light had come on had come on did I have to investigate. Diagnostics said foreign body...

Out at the weekend green laning around Llangollen. The mighty 80 sorting out the " steps". Pulled over pretty well with the front diff locked. This is what it looked like from the other side. Another Collie scrambling over.

Just done a 400 mile round trip this morning in the 120 to drop some stuff off. 95% motorway Averaged 65 mph and 26.7 mpg (Brim before and after). Comparing the D4D Collie would have got 30.

Gauging interest before exploring wider platforms. Full VX interior, front, middle and rear seats and all 4 door cards ( sorry no switches) There is wear to the drivers seat as expected but there is a spare rear seat for donor leather if required for refurbishment. £800.

As above seeking a front diff unit for a Colorado/Prado 4.3 diff ratio AO2 axle code. This is not for me but a good friend. Any help would be appreciated as its his daily. He dropped the oil to change it and it was predominantly silver in colour and gritty to the touch so it's not got a lot of...

As title, roof rack for an 80 series. Comes with fittings obviously, measurements are 185x127x23 cm. £375.00 collect from S Yorks. Postage might be a problem but have facilities to install on collection.

As above, a pair of Hilux callipers that fit on 60 axles that allow bigger brake pads to be fitted. They came off a running 60 at the time and have been waiting to be refurbished on the bench for years. I now know I'm never going to use them so I'll pass them on and put the money to something...

This left this morning, my 61. I had had intentions of restoring it ( hence all the different colour mint panels) but I let it go to a much younger enthusiast to add to his collection. It will be restored within the year to pristine condition and I'm sure pics will follow.

As title, genuine 100 series load liner. As can be seen it has a crack in it on one side and a couple of chips out of it. This is an easy fix with a bit of plastic and some "TigerSeal". Reason for sale I have an undamaged one. In the past I have used conveyer belting to cover the base to stop...
