the only reason im considering a Nissan Elgrand is because of the 240hp 3.5l v6 engine and 6 speed auto+ tiptronic grearbox lol, for towing purposes, i defo dont want a smaller engine lol

She actually quite likes that. But thats double the budget lmao At the minute we are both looking into the idea of an Import MPV, Toyota Alphard or a Nissan Elgrand......i dont like autos, but they are all auto so i think ill need to go test drive one first

Ive made the decision im going to get 12months MOT on it in April and then put it up for sale. Bloody shame cuz i realy like it but the missus is putting pressure on me to look at getting something newer with less miles (dunno were she thinks im getting the money from but hey ho). Im getting the...

Its good to know im not setting my sights too high with the price if i do decide to sell it. I just dont know what i could replace it with because it is such a good tow vehicle. Will have to see how my finances go over the next few weeks and then ill decide wether it needs to go or not

Gauging interest in how much my 98 Colorado 1kz-te 3.0td manual with 174k on the clock would be worth as i cant afford to keep it any more. Its in reasonably good nick, bodywork is clean etc. In the last 3 months its had a whole brand new oem rear axle, new springs, brake hoses, brake pads...

carrying on from were i left off the other weekend, i woke up and got to work on the truck, while waiting for my brother to turn up i got the trailing arms and arb drop links fitted up loosely ready yo accept the axle Next up was the axle, we had it in and done up within an hour, there was a...

Got twin Exide 100ah (240cca) batteries on mine. Had them on 2 years now. Cant fault em, not cheap, i think they were just over £100 each but well worth the money

Thats how i have been resetting it. Disconnect batteries for 5 minutes then that clears the fault. Theres defo something else amiss

I think Jimmyarm is on the money. I can reset the system but as soon as i go over 15mph the light comes on solid. Looks like ill be digging around under the car again 2morrow....oh the joys lol Im just hoping its a broken cable as ill just remake the cables to the sensor......if not, i best...

Well im back on the road once again. Another 2 days work and i had the axle back in and the brakes bled including new brake hoses on the front. Ill put pics up later. Now the only problem i have is that my ABS light is on and if i get it to go away. Itll come back again pretty quickly. Now is...

ill get some studs from roughtrax then i think

finishing off my axle swap today and snapped one of the wheel studs. Now Milners sell the studs at £1.70 each, Roughtrax sell them at £6.40 each. Stupid question but whats the difference? Are the Milners studs just as good?

Where the hell do i get a set of those lights?! They're awesum

Decided to undertake the biggest job on my Colorado myself with some help from my brother this weekend. Basically, i had snapped the drivers side top trailing arm mount off the axle and rather than repair, i thought, "do it once, do it right" and bought a brand new genuine axle case through...

Cheers guys. Yes truck has 174,000 miles on it. How would i tell if its got a LSD or not? Its got the diff locker in the rear if that makes any difference. After reading the blog and what yourve said Bob. Looks like ill use 80w90 in the front and rear diffs and 75w90 in the gearbox and...

Something like this would be handy for me, not because i got blacked out windows and cant see shit when reversing at night. But mainly for reversing up to a trailer hitch

Yeh thats at Santa Pod. My local track. My best to date is 8.34 @ 165mph and 8.40 @ 170mph with around 220bhp, ive now got approx 300+bhp for this year. The new bike should make 300bhp motor only plus up to another 350bhp of nitrous on top......... should be interesting lol Just another quick...

Many thanks for that info, ill be sure to try and get some pics as im doing it. If i get pissed off with rusted bolts ill just grind em all off and replace with new, but ive got time, need to make sure its done right as i got 2 young kids in the car and towing a pretty heavy trailer, hence...

Ive decided on what im doing in terms of repairing my broken rear axle on my collie. Im going to fit a brand new axle case along with new poly bushes all round, and do a full service, etc etc. Question is, what diff oil do i need in my back axle?, its got the lockable diff and ABS. And...

cheers for that. will a SWB axle be the same as a LWB one, probably stupid question but worth asking

hi guys, not been on here for a while. been hearing a knocking comming from the rear of my LC90 over the last few weeks and thought it sounded like the ARB drop links. Went to change them today to find one of the upper toe arm links has snapped off the axle. Does anyone have a rear axle or know...

How much would a full exhaust set me back the Shayne. Im trying to do this on a minimal budget but if its as good as you say id consider paying a bit more

Does the exhaust make that much of a difference? Would u need to increase fuel pressure to compensate?

Hi guys, ive been towing quite a bit lately and while she tows just about anything nicely, i keep feeling the need that it needs a bit more power to help it tow on the uphill 50mph roads as she tends to struggle. Does anyone know of fairly cost effective ways to gain a bit more power without...

Cheers guys. I ordered the ones from roughtrax as i only want to be fitting these once lol

An annoying issue has arrose with my collie, shes struggling to go into 5th. Sometimes, its no problem at all, and sometimes u need to be quite firm and give the stick a wiggle to get it to go into gear. Its very intermitent and does it when it wants to. Has anyone come across this before? Im...

Weres best place to get them from? Truck is strictly on road and not an offroader if that makes any difference. Got alot of knocking going on from the front right so im replacing all the arb bushes.and want to fit new drop links too. Will pattern parts from places like Parkers be ok as i get...
