Hi - Guys, anyone know where I can pick up a complete set of front of refurbished Brake Calipers for my 1999 Colorado, or even a good second hand set.

Hi - Broke my glass on the LC Colorado drivers mirror, need to replace, bought one with backing plate and informed it was for a Colorado but more like for a Amazon, to large. Any one ever had to take the mirror off with the backing plate or can it be done, if so what would be the procedure. If...

Hi and welcome, at last another member from North Wales.

Hi Guys - Just an update to say thanks for all the feed backs and advice, I can now say that the LC is back on the road and towing again. A friend of mine had a word with someone he knew in Manchester and had previously had some work done by him. Sol at EuroJap in Stretford. He replaced the...

Shayne - I have contacted Freedom and he's given me a price, but my problem is that I need to travel about 200 miles to get to them as I'm all the way up in Rhuddlan, North Wales. I have tried some others, some can supply but I'm finding difficult to find someone that will strip and fit (I also...

I understand what you are saying about the fan and agree, not that I have ever heard it 'roar-in'. After reading a few items on the internet, are we talking cracked head or block? I have also found several Companies on the internet that supply, repair, or remanufacture cylinder heads?

It looks as if I'm now into the 'dark side' and we are having to face up to a cracked block/head gasket problem. So it looks as if I need to be going down this route, so where would be the best place to buy another block and head gasket set, pointless messing around anymore, just go for it...

Hi Guys - Monday morning feeling, anyway an update on the Cruiser problem. Finally, fitted the new 76 deg Stat, what a job, needed two hands at times but only enough room for one, everything back together so I took it out for a 40 mile run on Saturday afternoon, everything fine, Temp Gauge...

Guys - as stated at the beginning of this thread. IN or OUT, it's that simple. Again - 2 OUTS.

Just an update. Have ordered and will pick up new Stat today, finally managed last night to get the housing off (not much room) and old stat out. So from tonight, I will start to put it all back and we will see what happens. Next question. Refill coolant system, several say put only Toyota Red...

Hi guys - Thanks for your input, I've just managed to order a new 76 deg. Blue Print Stat, will be with me tomorrow. So tonight it's back to trying to take the stat housing off, what a job, who designed this, I've managed to take off bottom Stone Guard, disconnected bottom hose, now stat housing...

VOTED NOT TO GO IN ALL THOSE YEARS AGO - AGAIN THIS TIME OUT

Hi Shayne - I had the rad from a guy who supplies rads to my lad who works for a car spares place in Oldham, it was the correct one for my Cruiser because I checked it on the manufacturers web site, I do not have the information at present but if I remember it was manufactured by a German...

Hi Shayne - it's all confusing? When it boiled over the cruiser is in the same state as now (after new rad, hoses and steel seal) at this point still losing some water. I've run it on the drive to look for water, run it out in the road and have only lost an egg cup full. The temp gauge has...

Hi Guys - my first and worst reaction was either head gasket or head, but I have spoken to several mechanics and they all seem to come up with different ideas, i.e. one did mention the thermostat, whilst another dismissed this and said it was working, he mentioned he had a similar fault with a...

Hi Guys - (Landcruiser Colorado - 1999) I'm really looking for some good advice from you experts, the thread might be somewhat long (sorry) but I need to give you the full story. For sometime I have been losing coolant, sometimes nothing other times quite a bit, I must also state I mainly use...

Thanks Guys, will take your advice.

Hi Guys - I need to get the wheels aligned on my LC Colorado, just called into National Tyre to have some tyres placed on my works van and I mentioned having my LC wheels checked for wheel alignment. The guy said bring it in and I'll take a look at it as he is not sure if it 'adjusts' or it is a...

Hey Bob - Really good job, I've been thinking about this but as normal, never get to it, but now I've seen your mod, very good and makes me want to do mine, have you any rough sizes on your timber frame, I'll get some and make a start. Moz

I had to buy the keyfob from Toyota (£60) because wherever I tried to purchase one from ebay or on line, no one could confirm that it would be work on my LC, so I decided to go with my local Toyota Dealer - Premier Toyota, Llandudno Junction, North Wales.

Hi Guys - Just to bring you up to date on this Key Fob issue. I purchased a new Central Locking Key Fob from a Toyota Main Dealer, then tried to 'make' it work from all the information obtained from various sources, it did not work, hence the post, finally spoke with Toyota Main Dealer and I...

Hi Chris - Which or What is the correct procedure?

Hi Guys - I have read that many articles on programming a Fob, I've become confused, so perhaps one of you guys can let me have the correct procedure. I have just purchased a new Central Locking Fob from Toyota (part number 08191-00880) It has two buttons - open/shut with a red LED light. This...

You'll be ok with the Koyo Bearings, always stay away from those from made in China, cheap and nasty.

Hi Guys - I appear to be having a brake problem and looking for some help, I have a grinding/metal scraping from what I think is one of the back brakes (as if it is sticking on) it eventually clears, but not that good and noisey. Someone suggested that on the back brake there is some sort of...

Hi Guys - many thanks for all your advice, problem now solved, shift lever in correct position and orange light on dash - out. I had my son sit in the passenger seat and 'yank' the lever whilst moving back & forth slowly and after a couple goes it engaged and the orange light went out. So it...

Thats why I was after an Owners Manual for these sort of things, did not get one when I bought it, tried to find one on the internet, no luck, tried Toyota UK, they said contact my local Toyota Dealer, who is only 2 miles away, but they said they can not get one. So my best bet know is to find...

Hi Shayne - Yes it is a Colorada. Only picked it up last weekend, daughter drove it back, in the day time, so I was not sure about this light being on until I went out in it tonight, So you think it is ok?

Hi Guys - I have tried your suggestions/advice, but the light still stays on. I pull it right back to 'H' but left in 'N' where the lever feels it is in neutral, but the light remains on, any other suggestions?

Just taken out the Colorado and I've noticed that the orange 4 Wheel Drive Indicator Light on the Dash Panel remained on when driving, is this correct or should it have gone out, or does it indicate that the 4 wheel is on, tried the gear lever but it stayed on. If this is not correct, how does...

Hi Richie - I could always have a look, could I call around to you tonight if you let me have your address, you could pm it to me?

Hi Richie - I don't suppose you have a Owners Handbook for a Colorado (1999) that I could photo copy have you?

Hi Bodhi I'm based in Rhuddlan.

Hi Shayne - Thanks for the info, I've just been in touch with the guy at P&D Keys from the link and unfortunately he's not sure which one is for Colorado, so back to the beginning, ok if I needed a repair.

Hi Guys - I am a new member to the Forum and I have just purchased a 1999 Landcruiser Colorado VX and I'm now looking for some assistance, as you do. I'm looking for a Owners Handbook for this model, as I did not get one. The other thing is that there was no central locking keyfob, so I have...
