Yeah, transmission hasn't been done yet. Spark plugs got done at about 110,000 in 2021. Thanks for the other info -
Every 90,000km get the transmission flushed by Toyota roughly $400 Spark plugs every 90,000km. I did mine when I was keen. Don't think I would do again, bit of a pain. Expect the alternator to die 150,000km onwards. Not sure if age is a factor? Cv shafts do die with abuse. Mine made it to 150,000km. Mechanic said they didn't look like originals? Apart from that, pretty solid cars. Great on fuel. -
Hi, please tell me where to post this question. But I have a 2002 Lexus ES300 which has a 1MZFE engine. Stupidly I went to change a tyre with the car jacked up and I used a breaker bar to crack the nut but I rotated the wheel, now the wheel rotates in park. So I think I broke the park pawl. And I want to know if I have to remove the transmission or engine, to fix it. Thanks in advance! -
Could someone enlighten me as to whether a HZJ78 Troopy passenger door will fit a 1989 HJ75 ute. Also has anyone had any experience in replacing door pillar chassis sections. Thank you .Jamo new member -

As a mechanic based in Perth, I’ve recently seen a rise in customers coming in with brake noise issues shortly after having their brake pads replaced – often by third-party workshops or DIY jobs. 🛠️ Common Problem: Squealing or grinding noise just days after new brake pads are installed. Sometimes paired with vibrations or uneven braking. 🔍 Root Cause (In Most Cases): Cheap or low-quality brake pads Pads not bedded-in properly Rotors not resurfaced or replaced when necessary Missing anti-squeal shims or improper grease on contact points ✅ Our Fix: Full inspection of pad quality & rotor condition Proper application of brake grease & shims Brake rotor machining or replacement if needed Road test to confirm issue is resolved 🤝 Tip for Customers: Always ask for OE-quality pads and make sure your mechanic checks rotor thickness and applies anti-squeal compound during install. Let me know if you’ve encountered this issue — happy to help or answer questions.
