    • Hi, I'm hoping to buy a good second hand set of wheels for my 98' Mk 4 Hilux single cab. Does anyone know if Mk7 wheels would fit regarding the offset please? Thank you, Best, Daniel 
    • Just wanted to add this here since I've just been through the very same dilemma and for some reason it's so difficult to find reliable info on the 'net for Australian cars. The globe does just pull out from that holder (referring to OP's posted photos).  I was worried, too, and even found someone saying to undo those metal clips latched onto the sides of the plastic body.  Mine was tight as anything but just had to grab the glass (it's actually quite strong - but be as gentle as practicable) and just wiggle the globe assembly back and forth while pulling on the globe.  Eventually it will start to move a little and just keep wiggling and pulling until it comes out of its socket. What I haven't worked out yet is how to get the new globe back in the headlight assembly (on the passenger side with very limited room) without the new globe bumping into every piece of metal and plastic in that limited space and then how to get the holder aligned properly in the hole and pressed in deeply enough for it to latch (with a twist) back in to place.  Possibly I didn't seat the globe down far enough when I inserted it back into that. holder. After that I need to tackle the front parking lights on both sides.  So far (per a US video) I may need to go in from the wheel well?  Crikey.
    • Hey all, currently trying to sell my modified vintage 1996 hilux in sandy tourpe colour . Please message me on 0459246808 for details
    • Hey guys!    just purchased my first ever Toyota. December 2020 Corolla accent sport 2.0L with 32k on the clock.    When I purchased it I looked at the log book and it had a service at 16’000km and one at 32’000km. Not thinking too much more about it after getting it I’ve realised the service between 16k and 32k was 2.5 years apart!! 😫 kilometer wise it’s not too far off but not having a service for 2.5 years is concerning to me as someone who’s very passionate about doing oil changes very regularly and keeping on top of my maintenance of a car!    I can’t see any sludge or anything under the oil cap and it looks clean inside but I wanted to get your thoughts on any long term impacts this could have, and any suggestions on how I can rectify it!    the last oil change was done about 2 weeks ago and I’ll definitely make sure I do another oil change no longer than in 6 months time.  also what’s a good amount of time between gearbox services for a Toyota Corolla (intend to do it more often than what the log book suggests)  
    • Have you also given the vacuum hose a clean i.e.with a spray of de-greaser. Maybe be also give the throttle body a cleaner which may help to remove any oil related film in the intake. something else that i did was to fit an oil catch can which has since been removed. The real solution to fix this white smoke issue was to thoroughly clean the valve cover and also any oil sludge build up in the valve train. Something else that i did as temporary measure and to confirm that it was oil sludge build up issue was to temporarily disconnect the PCV valve from the valve cover. I taped off the pcv valve so it was unable to suck in an excessive amount of air. I also blocked the valve cover hole opening with some filtering material. The white smoke on start up should stop within a few weeks. If it continues, I would do another clean of the front valve cover with particular attention to the section leading to the pcv valve.
