Hi all,

Some time ago somebody on this forum was describing his troubles with handbrake (which did not hold) and inability of the dealer to fix it. May I please aqks if there is any update (can't find the topic for some strange reason)?

My handbrake is OK, fingers crossed, but I'm asking this for a friend of mine.

Thanks

im sure toyota would adjust that (tightening the handbrake)

i had the same issue with my corolla. and told them to tighten it. it only lasted a few more months until it became loose again.

Yeah, thanks... my handbrake was OK, but after the last service (I have changed the dealer BTW) - they made it very noce and tight... than I have overheard something that made me wondering about that case where they just could not make it hold (as far as I remember the discussion here)...

It was me with the parkbrake problems and I still have them....

Dealer adjusted the parkbrake numerous times, then they machined the pads to roughen them up, still no better, they then replaced the p/brake cable, no different......

Toyota Aust then came out to check out the angle of my driveway which it would not hold on (unfortunately I was away at the time and was not informed of the result).

Dealer then replaced all cables and shoes with new and it just held with lots of moans and groans on my driveway.

Now, once again, mashed to the floor, especially when parked backwards, it doesn't hold at all.......if the pin in the gearbox ever broke the car would be a goner.

Was at the in laws on Sunday and they have a steep driveway. The kluger groaned and would have rolled forward almost half a metre when the brakes were released. Quite a few steep local roads around here so might do some testing.

      Engine starts but won’t rev, only idles. 2002 Hilux 4d4

      I left my fridge on in car for five days and it completely ran the battery flat. I have replaced with new battery and engine starts but only idols cannot be revved at all. Any ideas?

      MWR Oil Pump

      My new Monkeywrench Racing Oil pump came in the mail last week ago, which had been shipped from RideRound.nl in the Netherlands. Does anyone know anything about Monkeywrench Racing? Do you all think I made a good choice buying this aftermarket oil pump? I ordered it to to upgrade from the stock OEM one which is vulnerable to disintegration. The aftermarket one is meant to be bulletproof because it is made from some type of so-called '4340 steel'.

      Loss of power

      Hi Darryl, I’ve just read your post about loss of power in your UZJ200R and multiple fuel pump replacements. I have the same issue in my 4.7L and was wondering if you were able to get the issue resolved? My loss of power occurs after approximately 5 hours of towing a load (caravan) and results in loss of power and eventual engine backfiring. The problem resolves it self after a few hours of cool down time. I have replaced the fuel pump, fuel & air filters, plugs, ignition coils and mass airflow sensor but still have the issue. My auto electrician suggests that I now replace the fuel pump control computer (part no. 89570-60160) that sits on top of the right chassis rail just forward of the right rear wheel. He thinks this might be getting hot which could then affect the integrity of the signals being sent to the fuel pump. I look forward to your reply.

      Cheap modifications for 2006 Corolla sedan

      Hey all! Am new to the world of Corollas (and Toyotas). Acquired a 2006 Toyota Corolla Ascent Sport sedan in February 24. Manual, done approx 178000 klms now - and stock. Car is in fairly good condition. And really surprised at how well it does drive for an 18 year old car. Anyway, looking at getting some initial modifications done just to get back into working on cars, and also making the car more fun to drive. What are some things that you recommend? Pod Filter? Exhaust? Suspension? Any particular brand names? I did a quick search on ebay, and found Max Speeding Rods branded suspension - but couldnt find much else. Thanks all 🙂

      1gr tone wheel...

      G'day all, I had a head gasket replaced on my 1grfe 5 months ago. Since then I've been having power issues and 3 weeks ago it completely cut out. After a bit of mucking around, I was able to find a mechanic who told me the tone wheel had slipped back on the crankshaft, which has thrown the sensor... it's also bent the tone wheel and filled the crak angle sensor with metal shavings. The ute has just ticked over 300k, I'm wondering if I give up on it and buy a 1kd, or look into chasing up the idiots who put it back together after the head gasket.(they did a cv boot at the same time and held it in place with fencing wire and zip ties. Not the brightest bunch) Anything thoughts or sympathy appreciated.
