Podcasts about Holden Colorado

Police say Bay of Plenty Mongrel Mob boss Steven Taiatini died after being hit by a ute. Investigators believe a Holden Colorado 4 wheel drive found gutted by a fire on the outskirts of town at the weekend was the vehicle involved. Hundreds of gang members attended the 45 year old's nehu in Whakatane yesterday, with police maintaining a large presence in the area today. Finn Blackwell reports. 

To celebrate Fieldays, we've got a rural special for you this week, and utes are the main topic of debate.But before we launch into everything rural, we cover off some recent news including the new Toyota Land Cruiser 300, a supercharged Holden Colorado, and the new Fast and Furious movie. We're also talking about new car sales, and the recently announced Clean Car scheme, which works off a 'feebate' model and rewards buying low-emission vehicles.For the 60 Second Sell, we're looking at DRIVEN listings to find the best ute under $40,000 to live with both new and used options on the table, and there are some interesting picks. In the Expert Car Pick section, we're looking at new utes under $60,000, and the options are plentiful. Don't forget to vote for your favourites from both sections below! 

We're back, sorry for missing a week; Mitch and Matt went camping, and Mitch got crook, anyway, we're back now! We crack straight in with Mitch talking about how he fixed his Hilux's overheating issues. Matt then talks about what he's doing to his Landcruiser, also to do with overheating, and Joseph greased the rear slider pins on his brakes, and Matt caves and says he's turboing the LandCrusier; from which he goes on to talk about the science of turbocharging a diesel engine. Matt and Mitch then talk about their camping trip at Kinkuna (just south of Bundaberg, Qld). Joseph then breaks into a bit of news with Mercedes bringing their electric-hybrid turbocharger technology from Formula 1 to their consumer vehicles. Matt then talks about someone doing a retro-render of the original Volvo 240 in the style of Volvo's current design language, before talking about the Mazda refreshing the BT-50 ute; going from a Ford Ranger 5-banger to an Isuzu DMAX (and Holden Colorado) 4-banger, as well as a styling refresh. Joseph then talks about the Jeep Gladiator's pricing and model specs being officially announced for the Australian market. Mitch then talks about some of the cars that are yet to sell 25 units this year, and the Mighty Car Mods (TV2) video of Moog taking his BRZ on track, and how much we enjoyed watching him finally enjoy his BRZ.

Triton's a quiet achiever with decent performance and a proven track record of good reliability and support - unlike most other utes in the market Save thousands on any new car (Australia-only): https://autoexpert.com.au/contact You can help support the channel, securely via PayPal: https://www.paypal.com/cgi-bin/webscr?cmd=_s-xclick&hosted_button_id=DSL9A3MWEMNBW&source=url Full review on my blog: https://autoexpert.com.au/posts/mitsubishi-triton-review-buyers-guide The current model Mitsubishi 'L200' Triton is one of two 4x4 utes I routinely recommend and this one is even better than before thanks to a mid-life makeover. The Triton is number three 4x4 ute in the country behind the Toyota Hilux and Ford Ranger, but is ahead of the Holden Colorado. Since the Triton began production 40 years ago they’ve managed to sell 4.7 million units. It’s a profound automotive success any way you carve that figure. The first thing about Triton is its nice, tractable 2.4-lite turbo diesel engine Pricing and features make the Triton worth a good look, as does the long warranty and extended service interval. I get complaints about plenty of utes, from owners getting hung out to dry - typically Rangers and Colorados. Triton is the exact opposite. The few complaints I've had over Triton in the past few years were mainly dealers behaving badly - once they were made aware, Mitsubishi Motors resolved them pretty quickly.

We're back for episode 106, and we start off with Matt and Mitch talking aout them doing Dry July, before introducing our special guest for this week, Tim Griffiths. Tim starts us off this week with talking about his car history, starting with a Mk4 Volkswagen Golf which had all sorts of gearbox issues. Tim replaced the Golf with a Kia Rio, which also had gearbox issues. The Rio was briefly followed by a BMW 735i, before getting a Ford Ranger which had 4WD issues, and replacing it with his current car, a Holden Colorado. We then argue about 'built not bought', and Tim talks about the one time he tried to replace his handlebars, which didn't go well. Matthew then tells us a story, about how a side-deal he did backfired on him, and an slight issue he's had with his LandCruiser. Mitch kicks off the news about the death of Lee Iacocca, the father of the Mustang, and the savior of Chrysler in America. Tim then brings up the Ferrari SF Stradale, which we pick and pull apart. Mitch then brings up news about the Australian Government introducing new motor vehicles standards in-line with Euro cars. They are introducing laws to force all new cars to have alcohol/breatherlisers and drug testers in the car which will stop the car from driving if they test postive for drugs and/or alvohol. Joseph then talks about all new electric cars being launched in the E.U must emit a noise comparable to ICE vehicles up to 20Kph. Tim then talks about in-car mobile-phone tech, we all talk about old people and technology, and WRC planning to go electric. Matt then talks about how he cannot wait for VR Motorsports to make their sim-rigs to fit bigger people.

The difference between air lockers and eLockers is one of the most popular discussion points on the 4x4earth forum, so we decided to get an expert in to discuss the difference. Heath is the General Manager at Harrop Engineering.  He drives a Harrop Superado, an Holden Colorado with an upgunned V8 Harrop supercharger engine.  Harrop was started in 1955 by Len Harrop in the northern suburbs of Melbourne.  His son had the Harrop Howler, a very fast quarter miler. Heath talks about how Harrop has transitioned about from supporting the Australian vehicle manufacturing industry to exporting components for vehicles like the Toyota Tundra. We discuss what exactly an eLocker is and how it works with the diff.  Heath talks about how the eLocker passes the 300,000 km durability testing.  Originally developed by Eaton for the military, the eLocker is designed for reliability and durability.  An electromagnet is actuated to engage the diff locking mechanism. Harrop has developed a range of 4 pinion designs for a large range of vehicles.  The gears, splines and internal housings are manufactured in Australia. We talk about what kinds of driving conditions and tracks you would use a selectable locker for.  We also talk about the difference between front and rear lockers and when you would choose either.  We discuss the next innovations for Harrop, like the PX3. How hard is an eLocker to fit?  We look at whether it is a DIY solution or if it should be fitted professionally. A great Aussie manufacturing story with some great innovation and big export wins.
