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.

      Aurion 2005 transmission issue

      The car is going great now and it was a mechanic called Adam at Brutton Automotive Windsor NSW. I am so impressed with the customer service from this young man, he has gone above and beyond in the times I have taken my vehicle to him.

      Noise in brake master cylinder assembly

      Hi l have a 2000 vx Prado and the small cylinder on the right of the master cylinder is making a churping noise. It occurs randomly but is most prevalent when brakes are applied. The pipes going to the offending area vibrate when noise is on. Is there a remedy.

      Toyota Camry 1993 Starts rough then runs OK.

      I have concluded that there is water leaking into one or more cylinders due to a failing head gasket. It most likely is original and has done well to last for 32 years. Composite gasket. I plan to pull it apart and have the head checked and machined in the usual way, and change the timing belt and water pump etc. while I am at it. I'll mark the thread as solved. Jim.

      OBD port lock for 300 series

      Latest news suggest that car thieves are now using the OBD port to steal 300 series. Has anyone found a decent OBD port lock that works with the embedded OBD port in 300 series?

      UHF Antenna mount for 2017 Kluger?!?!

      Hey all! Recently upgraded from a 2009 Kluger Grande to a 2017 Kluger GXL... the 2009 was decked out with a round chrome nudge bar and all, making it easy to mount a UHF antenna up front! But, this newer model I have gone with the OEM Toyota nudge bar that I really like the sleeker look of, but it does not give me anywhere to mount a UHF antenna, and even more so, I cannot seem to find any bonnet hinge mounts for this year model available online! Not really wanting to go with any thoughts or suggestions greatly appreciated! Cheers!

      Tyre tread damage

      Hi, My take is that your alignment is way off, despite what the tyre guy says. Find another shop, or go to a Toyota dealer. I had this happen, years ago, with my little Honda Scamp. Tyre guy set the toe to his "standard" 3 deg toe in. The car was a front wheel drive, spec was toe out 3deg, and yes, the tyres wore very quickyl. Herb

      Prado veggie oil

      Correction: The power for the pump comes from the engine ignition 12v distribution in the engine bay fuse box. I will take a photo of it tomorrow and post it here in case anyone else wants to use +12V with Ign ON. Tony
