    • Good day,  I'm looking to upgrade my engine on my 2kd Toyota Hilux 2007. I'm trying to make more power. What are some of the best upgrades to do....turbo, intercooler, exhaust ?
    • Hey,  I’m Skye! 😊 Today while driving my 2012 Toyota Hilux the engine light, traction control light and ABS light come on all together on the dash and the car lost most of its power.  The lights are solid and are still there. I have parked it up for now. Has anyone had a similar issue happen or know what the cause could be? Just a FYI - it was serviced 2000kms ago and has 241,000km on the odometer.  I will be taking it to a mechanic but as it’s my only means of transport and I live remotely and can’t get to into the mechanic for a week, I thought I’d check whether it might (wishful thinking I think) be something easy?    Thanks so much in advance! Skye ☺️
    • In general what I would do in your situation upon purchasing a second hand car: - Replace ALL of the fluids + the Engine air filter + the cabin air filter and possibly the spark plugs. In regards to the gearbox oil, If it's a manual and you just drive it normally, perhaps in 75% of the time period. If it's an auto transmission I would say maybe every 60,000 km (happy to be corrected by other forum members), and if going aftermarket oil ensure that you know exactly what oil your transmission requires. Other than perhaps the gear box oil, would you be doing the service items yourself?
    • How long have you owned the car? There could be more than 1 issue, so it is best until proven otherwise to treat them as 2 separate issues. Firstly in regards to the noise, have you checked the Engine and transmission mounts? In regards to the "hard to start": - Is it that the starter motor sounds like it's struggling? - Does it crank properly but the engine takes an excessive amount of time to start up? - Have you noticed and excess fuel smells coming from the exhaust? Have you checked the spark plugs to see if they are pointing at an issues (perhaps a leaking injector) etc? I don't know of any common issues, simply because I don't have that year model Camry, but "the basics" still apply.
