sorry for slow reply, quick break down of my issue being sorted - transmission fault 30-42LE Error code P0753 shift solenoid A electrical (s1) shift x 2, lock up x 1 solenoids changed shift solenoid was only reading 2.2 ohms. cost of parts was £191 plus 3 hours labour and a transmission...

I did yes, one of the solenoids were bad. So whilst the transmission was in surgery I decided to get all them changed ( maybe overkill ) but thought at the mileage and since one was at fault thought I may aswell get them all done. The guy that did the job said he’s seen on the same model minor...

Just an update on the Auto box incase anyone is interested and having similar issues. Booked into a specialist and their diagnosis was a full rebuild at a cost of £3k no explanation as to why or further details and this was from a supposed very reputable garage! Anyway I disagreed with this and...

Well when cold the box shifts fine, it’s only once it’s had a good run and warm the hesitation starts after coming to a stop and pulling off again

just tested this here now, pulled off no problem doing this after truck was fully warmed up. Hoping that’s a good sign the box isn’t done for. Looks like I’ll have to book in with a specialist come Monday for this

I haven’t tried that yet, will see tomorrow morning. Yeah I’m kind of thinking the same,

previous owner, there was a small crack on the radiator. This was found by Toyota, as part of pre sale checks and fresh mot the previous owner had done.

yes just on take off, once going the car drives normally. Also after changing the atf still same behaviour. I’m gonna have a check about the earth wires tomorrow, clutching at straws it’s something simple!

Haven’t posted in a while due to lambing underway on the farm now Anyway first problem on my truck 2001 collie 3.0 d4d Auto 164k miles. Once up to operating temperature and coming to a stop there is hesitation in the auto box for pulling away. Best way to describe this is it will rev for a few...

Great post Dave! Appreciate the time you took, very informative. Have receipt of new radiator put in not long ago, had a look anyway to check the levels and all A’s should be. So one less things to change. That was one of the first things I was gonna do if not already done. Rust situation...

Give it a quick clean up and run out - jobs for this week are AT tyre shopping and replacing the disgusting old head unit! Trying to decide on a decent single din or maybe a double? Also gonna stock up on some service items. Had service around 3k miles ago but for extra piece of mind wanna do a...

Haha I know! Still got a 3.0tdi Quattro a5, grand vitara ( cheap work horse, never let me down yet ) and the 90 now. Also have a new Jimny on order hopefully ready between March/September they said but that’s mainly for the Mrs but got plans for modification on that little Tonka toy

Thanks Crispin! Proud father is heading out to the yard now to further clean they boy up then taking him out for some photography work haha! I’ll report back this afternoon, still over the moon with it. The first car that has truly soothed the heart break of letting my RS4 go that’s how much I...

I’m back now, absolutely love it already. Had some great cars in the past but this genuinely makes me happy. Such a smooth and effortless thing to drive. Gonna get some new pics up tomorrow in better lighting after a good clean up. Will keep you posted in new thread as I’m off tyre shopping next...

Apology accepted. New thread pending as I’m currently on route to collect the truck now! Woooooo

Thanks Andy, I actually managed to get it up on a ramp for a good look. Obviously not rust free but considering age I was fairly pleased with the state of it. Going through the receipts I’ve seen it was under sealed professionally 6 years ago. Patches coming through now so will be looking at...

I’m hoping the diesel ban won’t affect me any time soon at least haha out in the sticks so no one will ever know haha

No worries at all mate, don’t mind seeing a nice looking Truck like that pop up. I’d agree though, diesel! one of my previous trucks was the grand Cherokee overland V8 beast, lpg conversion and gave no bother in the time I had with it.....the bloke who took it’s said it started giving him a fair...

That’s the problem I’ve been down that slippery slope many a time, can’t see it changing this time haha no matter how many times I tell myself I’ll be sensible

Thanks for the welcome. I think first will be getting a good set of AT tyres on, and researching more into a 2” lift. Drive on quite a bit of mixed terrain where I live/work - hillbilly farmer you see.

Hello everyone, Just joined up and introducing myself, been a long time lurker and finally took the plunge. Took 6 months finding the “right” cruiser. Pick up my new motor on Saturday and very excited! 2001 Colorado 3.0 d4d VX. 160k miles, meticulously serviced and well looked after going off...
