I was wondering what sized hammer he used to beat it into submission...
I just left it for 8 hours or so, without hand brake on, then revved it a bit in reverse and with a clank this time it moved.....Its going in on the 9th. But Im putting it in a LR dealership because they have a machine that resets the electronics, so my eco thingy should work again.....

Can't be any worse than the time you suggested we should all spend some time in Alaska wearing nothing but our beards, surely
What!, now folks will forever have to wonder what you did with the *lap dancers, sausages, and a dog

Was it in an Alaskan log cabin wearing nothing but his beard though?
That'd make an awesome story... this one time, in a log cabin, in Alaska, we had these lap dancers, these sausages..... The problem there is that you will now have Toyota issues. I've got both a Toyota and a Land Rover and neither is without fault, it's just that the Toyota faults cost so much more to rectify.
but they are so much less frequent!
For me the Yota makes more sense if you lack the capability or desire for DIY repairs, the Landy make more sense if you like to tinker and fettle
To be honest, neither of the bulbs that went in my Land Cruiser in over 100,000 miles was expensive to replace. There were no other faults.

Up until the Toyota hit 100000 miles then it all went a bit pear shaped. The Landy seems to be getting more reliable as it passes 260000 miles and 26 years old while the Toyota is now a total liability at 170000 miles and 14 years old. Love em both but don't believe the rumours that Defenders are as unreliable as some people say or that Toyotas are particularly reliable.
We'll have to agree to disagree. I have had three landrover Defenders and not one has ever achieved even 30,000 miles without a mechanical problem. We have had two Yotas and neither had an issue in 100,000.For us, thats definitive. I just want a car to be reliable and, fun as they are, Land Rover build quality is woeful in our not inconsiderable experience.
As I said before, they are fun cars for those who like to tinker though!

Not sure about the Colorado but the Amazon has a few well documented issues with the transmission. One is a bearing failure that causes the clutch packs to fail, another is failure of proportioning valves when the box is used for towing or used off-road and then there is the very common fault with the gearbox radiator being mounted inside the engine cooling radiator. Cracks in the tranny radiator allow coolant to enter the auto box causing total failure.
Anyway I still dream about making a Landrover fitted with Nissan Patrol axles, A Toyota 4.2 or Mazda diesel engine, a New Process gearbox, galvanised metalwork and improved electrics!
