hi all
I'm new to here bought my first lc a 98 3.0 td lwb colorado 90 vx with 180 thou on the clock full service history
I've owned her for around 3 weeks and not had a problem i drove her 188 miles home when i picked her up and she didn't miss a beat.
however today while out on a short run i went to over take a lorry switched off over drive and gave her some beans the kick down came in
and was picking up well then she started to stutter (a bit like hitting the rev limiter) with no acceleration and i noticed a puff of black smoke coming out the
exhaust .
i thought maybe it was because i switched the over drive off so i tried the same thing with the over drive on ,still the same results
being new to 4x4 and land cruisers i have to admit I'm clueless any help would be brilliant
thanks in advance .
