Hi All,

I have a '94 Camry Vienta and there's little wrong with it but I'd like to fix the power antenna. It makes this Godawful grinding sound just after it has fully extended, and keeps making this noise for about 8 seconds. I am sure it is because it doesn't know when to stop extending, but it doesn't make this sound when it retracts.

My question/s are this: A) are these units easily user-serviceable, and if not, B) where on the Interweb can I get these cheaply? I see these for sale at $140+!! Back in 2000 I got a new power antenna for about $45. (Yes, it was a cheapie, but it still did the job!).

Cheers

      2005 Toyota Corolla miss fire on acceleration cant scan obd2

      If you haven't sorted the problem out yet, I would recommend looking into whether the intake manifold seals are leaking. These were very common, but it won't explain the ignition coil issue.

      RATTLING CAMRY 2013

      I really hope someone can help me with my annoyingly loud problem… my camry has a loud rattle whenever its in gear, it stops once its in park or neutral. Ive checked the heat shields they are good. If anyone has any suggestions, ill be much appreciated… plus when its warmed up and driven around its harder to start. I’ve attached a video of the rattle, you can hear when i put it into gear it rattles then stops when its in park. My bad I’ve accidentally put two of the same vid (don't know how to delete it) IMG_2585.mov

      Hi all, I have owned this engine for approx 30 years, it has not run in the last 15 years. needs rebuild, at the least new rings. Was last informed that the Cam was not aligned correctly after the fitting of a new timing chain and head Was originaly a stock 3K 1.2L ke20 for the first 7 years before becoming tired and worn-out. I was so happy with the engine that i spent at least 2 thou on a full rebuild including rebore to 1.3L, very lumpy billit cam, hi comp ported head double springs,fully balanced, lightend flywheel.ect ect Due to budget I could only afford a 32 Webber down draught carby (probably needs new carby kit), stock distributer and a 5 speed manual Would very much like to see it go to a new home so it can come back to life and rev hard again. Please ask any questions you may have.

      Canning Prado or 200

      Hi All Just joined - trying to decide between a Prado or 200 for the CSR next year. l'll be a single in the car in a group of 5 vehicles. Not owing. I appreciate whatever I get will need some mods. And I know I am on the Prado Club forum but I am hoping for some unbiased opinion! The Prado needs to carry less fuel which is a big advantage but what I am more concerned about is whether it is rugged enough. Any thoughts and especially experience, much appreciated! Regards to all. Chris

      2002 Door Handle Issue

      Unusual problem. Driver's side external door handle would not function with window in fully closed position. Would function with window open around 12mm. Removed door trim - visual inspection showed plastic clip at top of one of the actuating rods had become unclipped and was being hit by the metal rail on the bottom of the window glass when the window neared fully closed. Easiest solution was to apply Loctite Extreme Glue to clip and re-attach it to the rod. Fingers crossed it stays attached.
