Flashing 4WD Lo and VSC and Engine warning lights
Not ideal where you are but I would ry a couple of things: Either disconnect the batteries (both) and leave for a good 10 mins - enough time for all electrics to discharge.. Another one which worked for me was to disconnect the ECU - big plug on the passenger side firewall. Same thing, allow for electrics/electronics to discharge. Not practical for you at this stage but if you can get a Scangauge. This will allow you to clear the codes. Car has gone in limp mode. I had this problem several times whilst towing a caravan due to a performance chip which would cause a limp mode. No more as I have had the ECU remapped. -

Long start time when engine warm - 2004 Corolla
Hi guys, I’m a long time Toyota owner, and am currently enjoying a 2004 Corolla Wagon with the 1.8 1ZZ-FE. The car starts and drives really well, however during warm starts (after sitting for 5 minutes) the car cranks for around 6-8 seconds before starting. It’s worth noting the following: - The car starts right away in the morning or if it hasn’t been driven for a couple of hours. - There is no indication of rough idle or fluctuations when driving - Outside air temperature doesn’t seem to make a difference I’m wondering if anyone has experience with this issue? I’m leaning towards vapour lock in the fuel rail caused by leaky injectors? I’d appreciate any advice or if anyone has had a similar issue with their car. Thanks very much in advance, Oakley -

Head Unit with Apple CarPlay
Hi gillystylez, the link for your car and stereo is https://aerpro.com/vehicles/toyota/toyota-rav4-2013 I am not to sure with yours but you will need the APP9 Harness and Patch Lead, double DIN facia plate, possibly the T Harness (for adding aftermarket bluetooth car kits), double check with a supplier of the kits (Super Cheap, Repco...) to make sure of what you will need and get a quote on fitment or harness. I had to buy HEAPS more cables with the JVC unit and it was very expensive. Hope that helps! -

Brand new Prado 2022 with intermittent engine/transmission stutter
Gday Doug (600C), I have a 2023 GXL that from new that has a ‘whoo-whoo’ sound at similiar revs that you describe. Its most anoying at 75km/hour in top gear under load ie. up a slight hill. Toyota guy cant give an explaination but says he drove another one with only 1000kms on the clock and did the same. Have you found a cure or diagnosis at all?- engine stutter

Corolla 2007/2008 ZRE152 2ZR-FE Hood insulator
I immediately thought of sound deadener material which is available from JayCar as a potential solution. https://www.jaycar.com.au/combination-butyl-foam-super-sound-deadener/p/AX3689- 1

Corolla 2007/2008 ZRE152 2ZR-FE Hood insulator
Hi, I've tried to get a hood insulator from Amayama OEM suppliers and Sydney wreckers with no luck. Wreckers usually sell hoods/bonnets with them attached. I called Toyota and unbelievably. they sell them for $700 plus. Is there a way to repair? or get some insulator material to make my own? My one is crumbling and cracked. -

Prado 2012 Issues starting first time, sometimes
Hi all, For some reason my 2012 Prado is having dramas starting first time every so often. Regularly serviced 192k KMs. Sounds really rough during initial failed attempt to start. Then on second attempt will start fine no drama's. Sometimes I can hear a little bit of that initial struggle during a cold start and will still start. Everything else seems to be running fine. Thinking it could be a fob or immobiliser issue? Have had the same result with both main and spare key fob. Booked mechanic in a couple of weeks for diagnosis but hoping to point him in the right direction. First video is the no start and the second is immediately after appearing fine. Cheers! cold start fail.mp4 success.mp4
