Maybe I should wait another four years and sell it off to the USA? They go crazy for diesel and manual Toyota 4X4's???
What makes me laugh is how much would a Defender 110 be worth same age same condition that doesn't have locking centre and rear diff's. Same age Discovery's are about £2000.
I can’t figure out how to upload the underside video. Personally I’d pay for the piece of mind of a solid chassis. Also as for it being a manual going against it I think that’s a personal choice. Especially now that diesel is climbing up again and yes I do need the parking space.
Just a bit of an update on selling the Colorado, not had one phone call or even abusive text message. I can only assume the value of a really good solid D4-D Colorado is not a lot.
The car is in Liverpool and the reason I"m selling it is I've got two cars and only space for one so I've bought a VW Touareg Escape to replace it. I know I'll never find another one as good as this. First owner had it for 15 years and apparently spent most of that time in Spain only coming back...
Have a look at these from Cabmasters, a member on here said they were difficult to deal with but I'm on a Mercedes forum and people said they had no problems with them. They strip Land Cruisers to build bullet proof and SAS type vehicles.
It states they are a TJM Bar.

They are the very best quality, although I ordered grey and they're actually more of a brown. The fit is absolutely perfect. Maybe the import duty isn't as high now we've left the EU?

Toyota Prado 95 Seat Covers...
It looks like I'll be selling the car next year, I bought it to launch my boat on a gravel beach and to move the caravan but they'll all be going next year. I did buy an expensive set of Escape Gear canvas seat covers for it from South Africa that are the dogs do daaa's.
When I bought my car five years ago I thought I'd have no problem getting a nice clean leather interior, but five years later no chance the leather seats don't seem to age well. The previous owner of 14 years smoked heavily and there's some burns on the seats. Oh well I'll keep looking, you...
The problem with all this has been because there’s so few Colorados left it’s hard to take a look at another one for comparison. I’m sure this thread will help other people in years to come.
That’s what was throwing my mechanic. He thought something was missing because the cable never went through that plate with the holes in mounted to the chassis. I’m away in wales at the moment but when I get home I’ll have a look at the photos on the big computer. Thanks so much.
Does anyone have any photos of the underside of a lwb 90 as I’ve had a new handbrake cable fitted but the mechanic reckons some of the supporting hardware is missing. The cable was from roughtrax a pattern part which they no longer do. They only stock the genuine Toyota one now. I’ve had a look...
I put that kit on my KDJ95 four years ago and the shocks have corroded really badly even though its not been in the sea. Not impressed by the paint quality at all.
To me it looks like your car has been run without anti freeze. Anti freeze also has anti corrosion capabilities and stops the inside of your engine rusting up and protects your core plugs from rotting out.
flush the block through before fitting a new radiator and then use some good quality anti...
You should ask if they've remapped the ECU for better emissions, I refused to take my E350 diesel Mercedes back to the main dealer for service when I found out they were changing the emissions due to Dieselgate scandal. The Mercedes remap stops the car going into top gear on the motorway until...
Did you get your car "undersealed", I can highly recommend the under body wax Belt Hamber. Ive been using it for a few years now and gives superb finish. About £90 worth of products should give very good protection.
Fantastic car you've bought and does it have the 24v engine?
Have a look at this company for new take off wheels.

Never used them myself but I'm on a Mercedes forum and people have had good results from them, people on here have called them and had bad results.
Very, very nice. I just can't bring myself to pay £18,000 for a 18 year old car. I'm looking all the time to replace my Colorado which is in fantastic condition but maybe I need to give myself a good talking to and make the jump as its also my dream car.. The other problem is I remember not long...
I pulled the panel down where the fuel flap release is and you can see the small fuse block up underneath. One of the fuses was listed as "seat" on the diagram. It had no fuse in and I used a piggy back fuse with a 10 amp in it. Joined both the heated seat wires together so only had to use one fuse.
Ive just fitted heated carbon seat pads onto my cloth GX seats before I fitted a set of Escape Gear seat covers over the top. Theres actually a fuse for heated seats down by the drivers right knee and I used a piggy back fuse to tap straight into that.
The kit was £28 with fast delivery and its...
I know exactly what you're saying about "worm creep", Ive got factory diamond cut wheels on our other car and they're just starting to go now the cars seven years old. I'd like to get them blasted then powder coated metallic grey then have the diamond cut finish and clear coat on top.
I had my...
Just looking for an old oxidised set as I want to get them diamond cut. If yov'e got a set for sale why don't you tell me how much you want for them instead of sniping at some one else's post. Maybe my idea of cheap is different too yours.
Has anyone got a set of four 80 series later type alloys knocking about they want to sell cheap. They don't have to be perfect as I'll be getting them refurbished. Not interested in tyres as Ive got a set of KO2's to go on them.
Thanks
Brian.
Ive been after a genuine dog guard for my colorado but every time one comes up on eBay its the other end of the country. Could you tell me where you got this one from please?
Thanks
Brian
And for your information I've never endorsed them only highlighted that they exist. I think we're all big boys on this forum and can make up our own minds as to wether a company is worth dealing with.
Ive never had any dealings with them but the fella does sound as though he doesn't want to sell anything.
I'm on a mercedes forum and I mentioned that they had a couple of brand new mercedes complete car shells in primer and a guy off there went up and bought one off them with no problems.
Ive...
