Hi all,

I've noticed that both pads on drivers side are almost gone, while the other side has about 40% remaining.

Checked the calipers, are freely moving, there is plenty of grease on bolts, piston seals OK no leaks.

Car's braking behavior is quite normal and it doesn't pull to one side. So what could be the problem?

If the car definately doesnt pull to one side under braking then you can pretty much rule out seized or sticking caliper slides or pistons and uneven line pressure from the master cylinder. The only possible thing left (though highly unlikely) is a dodgy set of pads.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      The amount of oil that will bring the oil level from the lower dot on the dipstick to the higher dot is only 500 ml. The engine oil sump takes about 9.5 litres of oil in total. When the level is at the lower mark, this means that the engine has 9 litres of oil remaining. Basically not a big deal at all for the oil level to be at the low mark.

      Average Fuel consumption display

      Hi Chris, Have tried many combinations of buttons on our "Faye" too no avail mate, so I have no idea if you can reset the display for fuel consumption. I know on refilling it goes up greatly as air has entered the tank and comes down fast when driving any distance, so I don't bother much I just keep an eye on it and when it gets up around 11L/100klm as most of our outings is local 50kph zones, I take Faye out and try to go for a 80/90 kph run and it comes back down to around the usual 8 L/100 - 9 L/100klm. Good luck on the weathershields and maybe post some pics of them fitted. KAA

      2020 Camy Hybrid EV battery problem.

      Hi All, i have an odd problem with the EV battery. First time it happened was 2 months ago, the car felt like it was holding back when coasting and the brake pedal was hard then soft and the EV battery was taking a long time to charge to even 4 bars on the dash, normally I can get it to 4-5 bars all day long no problem. The engine was starting way more than usual, even on takeoff as soon as i touched the accelerator, and even when i did get 4 bars it would be gone in 200m or so. I'm an Uber driver so i have learnt how to get the best out of the system, AVG 3.9 klm/L. This went on for 4-5 days i booked it in to Toyota and the day before it went in i was on a freeway onramp and had to brake for a corner and the brake pedal pulsated after that the car was back to normal in fact was running better than ever! Took it to the dealer anyway, no codes nothing. So yesterday it started doing the same thing. Battery taking way longer to charge, strange brake pedal etc. i even took it down a long 1klm hill and got the battery up to 5 bars and used EV mode on a dead flat road and within a few hundred meters it was down to 3 and the engine kicked in. Car has 70000 klm on it. Anybody got any ideas? P.S battery filter is clean and i have the A/C directed at the intake under the back seat.

      Reverse sensors - how to disable

      Hi there, This is my first post! We bought a 2004 Kluger recently. Lovely car, very happy. . But... the beeping reverse sensor is driving me insane! Rather than being helpful, it actually distracts me when reversing, which I think is dangerous. How do I disconnect it? Or can I turn it down to stop being so effin' piercing?! Always been a Toyota chickiebabe. Epic cars.
