  4. Hi, I have finally had a 3" turbo back exhaust fitted. The vehicle is now far more rapid in it's throttle response and is a pleasure to drive. I have not yet had the chance to ascertain if it has made a difference to fuel economy . Very happy so far. My 2002 vehicle, New Zealand, new, does not have any of the smog fittings EGR, Cat etc. so I am not breaking any laws.
  5. Hi Stuart, Check around the wheel that went into the pot hole, it sounds like something gave there. Jack the car up to do it. Herb
  6. Hi All, Thinking of buying a 2018 LC 200 Sahara with high km but full history but the steering is very heavy no matter what, now there are no leaks, noises or obvious signs that would cause the issue but ive heard its electronic progressive steering is there a common fault with a electric motor or module in the steering system that is the issue? Answers greatly appreciated in advance.

  8. Hi Charlie, Im in the same boat as you. Can you confirm these mirror fit yours ? Mine is a 2002 Hilux LN147R, im assuming these will take the same mirror? Cheers
  9. I like Toyotas. :D I have a 2007 V6 Hilux and a 2018 Rav 4. In the past I've had Corollas, Celicas (18R-GE), Hilux's and Supras. My Hilux has headers which definitely let her breathe more. Next Toyota will hopefully be a Tundra unless you clever folk convince me otherwise.
  10. Hello I leave in France And I have exactly the same problem with my 2008 Toyota vdj 200. Starter sticking in one or two seconds after the engine start. The starter Is new also. Thank’s for your answer. Best regard. Yanick
  11. Thanks for all this info. We have a 2018 Rav I'd like to do the same too. Does the reversing camera guidelines still move when you turn the steering wheel? Do the parking sensors still work? Did you get the DAB working?
  12. I'm sorry I don't have answers for you but I'm commenting to get updates as I want to do the same upgrade. Do your parking sensors still work? Does the reversing camera with the steering angle guide still work? Does DAB work?
  13. May I add only use alloy or steel concentric hub rings NEVER use poly (plastic). sized like Hub Centric Rings OD= 56.1 mm ID= 54.1 mm - Aluminium Alloy Plenty on Ebay, less than $20 set of 4.or from tyre services
  14. Hi first post here thinking of buying a ln106 hilux with a kzn165 cab but apparently it needs dash wired to engine how hard would that be or can I buy a loom for it?
  15. In addition to my post regarding the 1986Toyota YH Hi-Ace Van/Wagon 2.0 Litre (3Y) Petrol Engine, I forgot to mention that the vehicle comed with front/rear refridgerated air conditioning. The vehicle is not a high roof, but is a long wheelbased model.
  16. Bought an 86 hj75, they looped this, was wondering if any could tell me the correct connection points please. https://postimg.cc/SjBx3bc0
  17. 2022 LC 300 Vx 12,000Kms - Message on dash - Engine Maintenance Required Visit Your Dealer Interestingly, When car starts, wrench symbol and 6904kms - Then no wrench symbol and actual kms I know another LC 300 owner who had the same message, ended up being an injector cap issue on cylinder 5. Does anyone have any further to contribute. thankyou
  18. On our Rav (2016 diesel auto) the "power" button changes the transmission shift patterns noticeably. The "economy" button doesn't seem to have any effect at all & it doesn't seem to improve fuel economy at all. Does yours do anything?
  19. I suspect some spirited short distance urban driving and quite possibly lots of highway driving in that displayed 573 kms. Also the battery size in a hybrid is relatively small such that it can only operate on full electric for a short distance before the engine kicks in to recharge it. Hopefully, hybrid owners will post based upon their actual real life experience as to whether 7.5L/100km is a cause for concern or not.
  20. Hi, unfortunately due to a little 4wding incident, I'm looking to replace the two doors on the passenger side of my dual cab Hilux. I'm hoping to pick up two doors from a wreckers, however it is difficult to find the exact model of Hilux I have at a wreckers. I'm wondering what/if any other years are compatible with mine? I have a 2008 3.0 Dual Cab KUN26R (4X4). Are all n70 doors the same ? And are SR/SR5 model doors different? Also any ideas what be a reasonable price for a door? Any Help would be awesome. Cheers George.
  21. I was in a similar boat with my old Landcruiser ute. Ended up going for the 4.2L diesel and couldn't be happier. Sure, it's a bit more of a guzzler compared to the 4.0L, but the torque and reliability are just unmatched. Found the best Australian online casino no deposit bonus, so I had some extra funds to put into my truck!
  22. Hi, Just some general comments. 2500 km for 1/2 litre oil consumption. I've had cars where the manual said that 1 pint per 1000 miles is acceptable, that's roughly 3/4 l in 1600 km. The car was never that bad, but it gives an indication of "acceptable" consumption, maybe just a way around warrantee claims for high consumption. The PCV system should have an oil separator in it, somewhere, to condense any oil vapour to stop it being sucked into the engine and burnt. If this is gunged up oil consumption goes up. Additives. When I bought my 28 year HiAce van, with 275,000 km on the clock, the seller mentioned that it used a bit of oil. I was a bit worried about passing a roadworthy with this, because of "blowing smoke", so I added a "stop oil burning" additive to the oil. Not a drop has disappeared in 9 months. I don't know whether this is due to the additive or the seller didn't really know what she was talking about. It did use a lot of coolant, but this was due to a faulty radiator cap. At the next oil change I will try a thicker grade of oil, say 20W 50, which is a common grade, for classic vehicles. Herb
  23. Hello, My toyota avensis verso 2006 Catalystic converter is on its way out. I'm finding it hard to get a 2nd hand one. Has anyone have info or similar experience with this part? Any advice? Cheers!
  24. I'm looking to import a Toyota century but the centre console that houses the TV and the AC for the rear passengers digs into my arm when I sit in the driver's seat. I was wondering if anyone has successfully removed this and any tips would be appreciated
  25. Thanks , I am very happy to plug my mechanic and his awesome team. I am located on the Central Coast of NSW and he is now based in Morrisett. JOHN DALE MOTORS. Anyone who is down this way I would recommend them for any service or mechanical work. I am a very fussy man when it comes to who touches our 2009 Toyota Aurion Presara called "Faye" as she is a classy beautiful car. Thanks for the opportunity to give them a plug. KAA

  28. Most exciting news. We've got a nudge bar already. Can you put the thumb screws on your contact at Toyota and find out more? What you need from the wiring patch (if it exists) is a wire that gives you 12V with high beam is on. It won't carry enough current to power the lightbar. You'll still need to wire in a relay to power the lightbar.
