My colly has just started to make a strange noise from what sounds like passenger side front :cry: when in first and second gear if i accelerate hard then it makes what i can only describe as teeth jumping sound, if i pull away slowly it doesnt make a noise, I drained the transfer box oil and...

After my ford encounter my truck will start up then cut out and the imobilser light wont go out, the keyfob for the alarm doesnt work now either, does anyone know how to remove this all together and if thats possible? i thought about adding a live direct to the pump stop soleniod so as i could...

Went out for a days greenlaneing and all was fine untill the last ford, managed to get through the ford and back to test its depth and all was fine, after some standing around and chatting we all decided to carry on however this happened. who would have guessed that two tons would float :D

Does anyone have a set of 80 landcruiser alloys on a collorado and a pic to see what they look like. i have a set but dont want to go to the expense of changeing tyres to find it looks odd. :roll: I have 265/75/16 bf mts on at the moment but keep getting stuck, :oops: what would be the...

Yesterday i had the chance to test out my ironman sl off road, i have to say i still think that its a bit to soft and wallowy, on road when cornering it has a tendancy to lurch over in mid corner untill it loads up then feels fine for the rest of the corner if you know what i mean, this is...

What sort of depth can these colorados be driven through (safe depth that is) I only ask as i thought i would test out the snorkel so i tracked down a river and drove through, the water came upto the bottom of the windscreen and the water came running down the passenger side dashboard below...

Now i have fitted a safari snorkel and i must say its a bit daunting haveing to drill into a wing :shock: but i now have a very annoying rattle just below 2k revs any ideas? Also how on gods green earth do you tighten up the back bolt as i cant get anywhere near it.

After haveing the collorado for a couple off months i decided to try and sort out the axle weeping oil one of the previouse owners had tried to filler it but its still weeping :o I am hopeing that welding up the hole and replaceing the oil with fresh would cure the terrible wineing drone, first...
