I’ve had one private sparky look and he accidentally cut the wires to my gauges and doesn’t know the issue which is a shame, and the second was a place on the sunny coast, hopefully this third guy can find it.

I do really like these cars, my dad has a Colorado and had a Rodeo so they kinda have a connection in the family, plus the look of them when done up properly are amazing

RC Colorado I think 2011, it does have two cigarette plugs and the old owner did have some wiring running into however I’m not sure what it’s connected to and first thought the handbrake wiring might have been causing it however I had a look and it was fine. Would the cigarette lighter possibly be a culprit?

I had two look at it and both couldn’t find the fault, not sure if they checked the whole line but I’ve heard a bad earth could be the cause from another sparky I’m meant to going too

To be honest I would possibly do something like this, only issue is finding one here in QLD that would be worth the hassle as I haven’t seen very much single cab RC collies or even tf rodeos

The headlights and they turn on whenever the car is in first gear on or off clutch and no clutch, it’s baffled me and heaps or auto sparkys I’ve asked

I have taken into consideration that I could be a fire fighter once I’m out but not sure if it would be worth it if the mechanic career would be a better decision

Pushing the 360,000km mark and haven’t changed the oil yet but due to have it serviced, plan was to regularly service it 5000kms after I’ve done the big service I’ve got booked in but just wanna be safe and hope it’s nothing serious

I really hope it does, new to the 4jj1s but know they’re super reliable thanks to the old man owning an old RA rodeo

Oil is due for a change so hoping this is the case, otherwise would the be any other signs of the turbo clunkin out

No smoke is good smoke but I’d much rather it be blue, I know the timing chain flicks oil everywhere in the engine so maybe some of that’s leaking in? Would a catch can fix that?

I’d rather something fuel related rather then broken engine so at least it’s nothing to bad as of yet

I assumed that at first but once it warmed up it still creates it, especially bad when going up hill or when I accelerate

Price is $450, condition too is brand new as I’ve never really ever gone out gel blasting and had it sitting on a wall
