With the arrival of the 100 earlier this year, it's time for the Collie to move on to pastures new.
Toyota Landcruiser Colorado GX 3.0TD LWB, 1997 on a 'P' plate. 147k
5sp manual gearbox
Usual GX spec - High-low transfer box, centre and rear diff locks.
3rd row seating
Electric windows
Electric heated mirrors
Aircon
Rear heater
Twin batteries
MoT to Sep 2014, Tax expires end Jan 2014.
This vehicle has 2 previous owners and comes with a comprehensively documented history, all the way back to the original purchase documents and including receipts for remote batteries and bulbs. The first owner purchased the car new from Essex Park Toyota, Wickford on the 26[SUP]th[/SUP] Jan 1997. The 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] owner acquired the vehicle on 21[SUP]st[/SUP] July 2006 from a dealer in Huntingdon, with 66k on the clock. I purchased the vehicle in standard form from a dealer in St Neots on the 3[SUP]rd[/SUP] August 2012, with 136k on the clock. Since then have equipped it with the following brand new parts:
Complete set of General Grabber AT2 tyres (including a 2[SUP]nd[/SUP] spare wheel)
Ironman springs and shocks all round
Extended ARB links
ASFIR skid plates
Safari snorkel
Front and rear steel expedition bumpers
Strong recovery points front and rear
Rock sliders (5mm box section, very sturdy).
Stainless steel exhaust
K-PO K500 CB radio w/ Sirio antenna
Reversing camera
Waterproof seat covers for front seats
The front bumper has integrated fog lights, there is also provision for mounting a pair of spotlights. These are fully wired using Carling switches and a proper 4 way relay box.
The complete maintenance history is simply far too extensive to list here, but in summary the vehicle was serviced at Essex Park for the first 6 years (44k), independent garages thereafter. The cambelt was most recently changed in July 2009 at 108k. The last service (major) was done in Feb 2013 at 142k, the next service is a simple oil change.
There is a very small scab on nearside front corner of bonnet. This was present when I purchased the vehicle and has not worsened since.
A Kenwood double DIN head unit is currently fitted, with DVD player, Bluetooth and iPod/USB connection. Some of the buttons are a bit intermittent, hence it is mentioned here rather than being featured above.
I'll get some pics over the weekend, when it's not dark!
