My 1997 Collie is perhaps the only vehicle I have owned where people ask is it for sale. It’s a working vehicle so not pristine (although the underneath is excellent) but folks keep asking me if I will sell it. One guy has been to the house twice this year to ask about it. I explain that if I...

Is the 120 the same as the 90 Series Colorado with regards to cooling the auto transmission fluid i.e. does the fluid cool through the pipe in the bottom of the radiator or does it have a separate cooling system? TIA.

Sorry if this has been covered before but I can’t seem to find a definitive answer. I’m going to change the upper and lower ball joints on my 1997 diesel Colorado. Could somebody please confirm the correct torque settings for the castle nuts, the 4 bolts fixing the lower ball joints and the tie...

Ordered a filter kit yesterday from Rough Trax, arrived this morning via FedEx. Fantastic service.

Recently my 97 diesel Collie has had intermittent starting problem I.e. turn the key and either get nothing or the starter motor just turns for a fraction of a second. I initially thought it was the starter motor or a poor electrical connection, however I took it down to my local mechanic and he...

Today I had a guy call at the house asking if I would sell my LC95. He spoke in a broad Irish accent and said he had spoken to me before about selling it, which he clearly hadn’t. He said he was a Landscaper and needed a a Truck for towing trailers. There is a Traveler community a couple of...

Just got my renewal from Saga, I’m please to report it has reduced this year by a whole penny :smiley:

Several years ago I had an automatic Discovery 3 which was fantastic in the snow, however if you drove down a slippery snow covered hill it was lethal unless you had Hill Decent engaged. I’ve not yet had the pleasure of driving my auto Collie on a steep slippery slope so how do they handle in...

So today, I made what is a very infrequent trip on the Motorway in my 1997 Auto Collie. Motorway speed around 70 I was reminded how noisy my Defender and even my 1995 Discovery was when I had them in comparison to the relative quietness of the Collie with just a hint of wind noise and background...

My Collie is riding on Toyo AT tyres ( 265 70R16) now at the normal unladen pressure. The previous owner had the tyres blown up to 55psi for some reason ( it was a bloody harsh ride) , I seem to remember that he also mentioned that he had fitted HD rear springs. The distance between the top of...

Today I took my 25 year old Collie to have a comprehensive rust proofing treatment. The chassis, sills and general underneath was already excellent but I want to keep it that way. The garage did an excellent job, very happy. The guy who did it said it was one of the best he had seen. The chap...

After removing the 3rd row seats from my Colorado I thought it a good idea to lift the carpet and have a look underneath. After having a few older Land Rover Discovery’s from the 90’s and seeing how awful (rotten) the rear boot floor is it was a revelation to find the floor in virtually as new...

I’ve just removed the 3rd row seats from my 1997 Colorado GX , they are in very good condition and looking to move them on FOC if someone is willing to collect them from FY6 Lancashire.

Guys, I have had a search but don’t seem to be able to find a definitive answer. With the 120 series does the automatic box have a separate oil cooler or is it integral with the normal engine cooling radiator? thanks in advance.

Hi folks, After years of Land Rover ownership (still have a couple) I thought it time I dipped a toe into Land Cruiser ownership. Still not found what I would like and doing some research still but I’ve narrowed things down to a late LWB Colorado or a 120 pre DPF. Would like to find something...
