Import one from Japan

In a word no, I spoke to the lad last week. He bought a new second hand ECU and had it coded, but it still won’t start. The snap on reader won’t connect still either.

A friend of mine has reversed the polarity on a 2004 100 series 1HD-FTE and now the car is dead. I went to see the car today and initially the dashboard had no lights but but the engine would turn over. After some investigation we found 2 blown fuses (1 in the engine bay and one in the cab) and...

Hello there

I hope you didn’t jet wash it too hard.

Sorry to hear this. RIP Chris

Had this on my dads old 80, it’ll be the abs kicking in. You could pull the abs fuse and see if it stops to confirm.

That’s not bad in my opinion and I’ve seen a lot worse. If it’s the spec you want and the price is ok then I’d go for it.

Hello and welcome 1997 80 series 4.2 (sorry Tony)

My brother had a 120 and comparing it to the 80 it definitely felt lighter duty plus it was also going rotten on the sills after 10 years. Plus side was the 6 speed manual box. (I wish the 80 had a 6th lol) 100 series at the moment seems the Best Buy if you can find a decent one. 80 prices seem...

Hello, Find the best 80 you can here. If not import one from Japan. If you can’t afford a decent one then save up till you can. That’s my advice. Colorados seem to rot worse than the 4.2s and you’ll always deep down wish you had the big engine variant.

In America the truckers mix a gallon of engine oil into a tank of diesel to add protection to the engine that the modern clean fuels don’t give. Petrol I suspect is a bad idea.

I drove across to Germany this weekend in the van and diesel was 2.38 Euro in parts of Belgium and Germany. It’ll probably end when putin gets what he wants.
