Hi,
I drove my first Colorado (90 series) today and was amazed. It is only
an inch or two smaller than my 80 externally yet it seems so much
smaller inside and felt so much more like a car to drive - I guess
that's down to the Independant Front Suspension and it also felt
perkier on the road.
I had it here to replace starter motor and had a bit of an Oh Shit!
moment. After having fought to remove the old one (less room to work
on compared to the 80), I was just doing up the bolts on the new one
when I noticed a little "12 volt" sticker on it - hang about the 90 had
dual batteries so I assumed it would be 24volt starting.
We after a lot of swearing and ringing up the supplier, the penny
finally dropped that it was like the Troopers, double batteries for
starting, but in parrallel for 12volt starting as opposed to the 80s
24volt starting.
Well you live and learn.
Gilly is definitely sold on getting one for herself so have started to
troll through Autotrader for a D4D engined bargain 90.
How's that for dedication - an LC only family! OK, yes I know there
are others out there on the list with 2+ LCs in the family, but not
that many ;-)
