Walamar is correct. We used to have a Rover 75 diesel which had one (a 51 plate - later it was less common) Some did have timers and some also had optional remotes so you could warm the car up before venturing out into the cold.

It's Dexron II but some others are OK as long as they meet or exceed the spec although whether it's worth paying extra is up for debate. Eurocarparts still have 50% off with the "BLACKFRIDAY" code at the checkout if ordering online or for click & collect just in case it helps. My auto...

I just checked my 1999 1KZ-TE Colorado Auto and it says cough up ten quid a day. Would have thought that the 95 would have had better emissions than an 80.

Believe this belongs to a local pharmacist. Excellent condition (the car). Don't think the wheels are original though.

Had the same situation badly with caravan tyres. When I got my 95 I ended up changing 4 for peace of mind because of age but the front pair had bad cracking in the treads and were Hankook Dynapro ATM although they were not the oldest. The rest were odd brands & the spare was really old and well...

Post 32 updates to a non-running state. I have zero experience with the KDJ95 but am aware that on some other vehicles a bad MAF does not always throw a code. On most vehicles if the MAF is the culprit then disconnecting will result in a default guessed setting which will at least start the...

I looked at some air bags out of curiosity & they do seem a useful solution and decent value too and I also respect the opinion of those with experience of them. My only concern is the comment from Steve H that said.... "My BIL was following me when I wasn't towing the van and he said that my...

My Toyota LC owners manual (pages 191,192,259) says that Nose Weight for the Colorado should be more than 25kg & more than 4% of towing capacity (112kg for braked or 30kg un-braked) but always less than the max draw bar weight (130kg for Colorado 9X or less if hitch is rated lower as tow hitches...

Kilen https://www.kilensprings.com/ Looks like you may want the 64023 LWB Heavy Duty version going by their online catalogue (64022 is standard LWB). https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_from=R40&_nkw=kilen+64023&_sacat=0&_sop=15 with this pair appearing the best deal Kilen HD when I looked...

Your thread. I'm as guilty. Sorry. Anyway the question relates to buying and it's still on topic for that. Agreed. Research before especially if distance is a factor and maybe if a member is near and could look if they are able. The MOT history checker has been a hugely helpful resource for me...

Yes the sea air may be good for us but not for cars. The 90 I bought was from Lincolnshire then moved to the midlands so away from the sea air and I ended up buying it from a place in Meriden, about as far from the coast as you can get in the UK. One of the first things I did when looking was...

Later GX did have fake wood but my GX is later reg than that & does not have the fake wood but imports can vary in spec of course, however a basic car check shows that one registered 14/5/99 which is likely the date of reg after import with original registration being before March 99 to be an S...

Normally you need to pay VAT on commercial goods over £15 if coming from a non-eu country / non-eu special territory plus a charge for customs handling by the carrier who send you an invoice for the whole lot of charges which you can usually pay online which helps speed delivery. The Vat is...

I know it's an old thread but I'll throw this out there in case it helps. I've used mostly Pagid pads & disks for years on various mainly VAG group cars and found them to be very good without noise and lasting a decent time. They are TMD friction who also own Mintex (which I have seen some...

Sounds like they torqued it up with the truck in the air and the suspension hanging down rather than with the weight on the wheels which is more normal for suspension (note I have not done this job on an LC and I do know occasionally some manufacturers state the arm must be held at a specific...

Any emissions based tax would be fairer based on the emissions from the last MOT for older vehicles. It's computerised and the info is there. People with well maintained vehicles are likely to have better emissions. Those using cleaner fuels like bio-diesel should have too. If there are no...

I know it's a thread from the dead so sorry about that. Just thought I would reply in case it helps someone. With older CD players the best chance of getting a CDR to work is normally to record in Disc At Once mode and immediately close the session which is more likely to be understood by older...

Great thanks for the info @Beau

Also do international shipping... https://www.amazon.com/BFGoodrich-All-Terrain-Radial-LT305-70R16/dp/B00ROTI142/ref=sr_1_5?s=automotive&ie=UTF8&qid=1522104618&sr=1-5&keywords=305%2F70%2F16+tires https://www.discounttiredirect.com/fitmentresult/tires/size/305-70-16...

Thanks for your understanding @Shayne https://www.1010tires.com/Tires/305-70R16 They do international shipping

No worries @clivehorridge you have not put me to bother. I should have been more observant of the nature of the tyres you were looking for. Sadly all the more road biased tyres I have seen available so far in that size are from less respected brands such as the "cough" Joyroad which looks...

@Beau you say the post 2000 lamps are better beam output than the pre-2000. I have just discovered some damage to my 99 lens and am wondering if I was to replace with post 2000 are they a direct fit. Thanks.

@clivehorridge Sorry don't seem to have any postcards available. tyresdirectuk dot co dot uk do 4/5 brands in stock 305/70R16 including STT Pro & KM2 although not used the company so cannot comment on service. camskill dot co dot uk do KM2 STT Open Country MT with currently 2 to 5 day lead...

Go with what Shayne suggests and pull the caliper. He is right that it is nothing but time. As he suggests the force should be more when the ABS activates as it's the foot AND the ABS pump pushing the fluid. Maybe denjil has an idea of whether braking performance has deteriorated over ownership...

Shayne may have a point as although the problem does not occur with ABS disabled, if the caliper has a bit of friction working against piston or pad return then the addition of extra resistance from the ABS circuitry might be just enough to stop the pad and piston returning at all. I would have...

Hi, I would expect that it is caused by a sticking valve in the ABS unit. If it was a hose I would expect the issue to still occur on a hard brake with the ABS disabled. I am more familiar with VAG group cars and have only been a Toyota owner for less than a year but I know that on the VAG cars...

I found this very useful and it worked for my 99 KZJ95 (took a couple of goes so my timing probably wasn't quite right). Also my father had fobs fixed for his SEAT by the St Helens Keys dude recommended by Shayne and he did a great job. Thanks very much guys.
