we have owed our 1996 Toyota land cruiser Colorado LWB 3.0 TD diesel for almost 18 years, ( 2nd owner ) we have been hardly using the " the old girl " over the last 5 years,
she has had a real easy life ( no off roading )
I know I should have had her serviced more reguly, but as she always starts, & the little use she got, ( 35000 in 10 years ) we did not pay for her to get serviced.
I am 60 this year, so I have decided to keep the old girl & try & learn new skills, while the grey matter still in tac, & make a project of keeping her going.
I have no experience of car mechanics & would appreciate any recommendations or advice from experience members on this site, I will not know the
correct wording for parts etc but will try & learn as I go along,
weather permitting, & I can just still crawl under her ( no ramps ) I will perform a oil change this weekend, I have already purchased a Toyota oil filter & sump washer,
would anyone know what the torque setting is for the sump bolt ?
I also need the big hose that comes from the air filter as this is split open - Toyota want over £ 100.00 for this, is there some where else I can buy one or should I stick with Toyota ?
