Hi All,
I am new to the forum firstly want to say Hello to you all and am so glade a place like this exists.
My name is Mark and I bought my Toyota Landcruiser Colorado 3-door, 1997 Model (KZJ90) back in 1997 in the UK.
I guess at the time it was a bit of a mad thing to do, it being my first car but I have enjoyed driving it ever since. ( I do not do any off road or anything.)
Still a surprise I still have it although with the ULEZ coming in who knows if I will be able to afford to keep it?.
My Question:
Somethings are starting to fail now and it is too costly for me to get fixed by a Dealer/Machanic so am attempting to fix things myself for the first time.
I just put in a new Clutch Master Cylinder which seems to be working ok if a little soft at the beginning of the peddle press ( only a little bit). I am thinking I may need to bleed it a bit more.
But my immediate problem is I just had the driver side rear shock absorber snap its top bar. I have two new gas ones from Milners which I am hope to put in myself. I just have a Jack, Bottle Jack and some stands but think I can do it.
What I do not know as I do not have any manuals anymore and probably never had a repair one is what the Torque is for the Bottom Eye bolt nut is. I assuming the top bolt will be done by hand only as I can't see you getting a Torque wrench in there.
Many thanks for any help.
Mark
