Landcruiser 200 GPS
I got mine from GTzone, a 7-inch head unit for my 2018 Land Cruiser. I think all the aftermarket Android screens are very similar. My one from GTzone came with a GPS antenna, I believe the one from Brummstadt should include one as well. It has two options for using the navigation app, one is to insert a SIM card or share a hotspot from your phone to use the navigation apps, which uses the built-in GPS antenna, the other is to use the built-in Apple CarPlay system, which uses the phone’s GPS for navigation. In my case, because I always travel to the outback during my vacations, some areas have no signal at all. So, I downloaded offline maps from the Play Store to use for navigation, which doesn’t need internet during navigation and only uses the built-in GPS. It saves your phone’s power at the same time, I guess? So far, it has never failed me, never led me to the wrong roads, or shown me in ridiculous places like driving on a river LOL This is the product I mentioned above from GTzone, in case someone is interested: https://gtzone.com.au/products/toyota-landcruiser-200-series-2016-present-7-inch-wireless-carplay-android-auto-head-unit-navigation-bluetooth-wifi-head-unit -

300 series turbo issues
We have a GR that had the 7th Injector replaced June 2024 (warning came up on dash Dec 2023 @ approx 18k) toyota cleaned injector in Jan when they inspected the problem and said parts will be 8 - 12 weeks (i dont know why so long for a common problem) but they advised to continue to drive / tow as normal. 3 months later parts arrived and they said they will complete job at june 2yr service interval. It was notated on paperwork torque bolts were re torqued. Today driving up blue mountains 70kmh to Katoomba towing 3.2T Zone RV van i experienced the turbo chirp on and off and the power dropping / surging. Lasted about 5-10 secs going up mountain but gave me a shock as havent experienced it before (hence the googling now and reading about previous issues) it didnt happen again but we arrived at caravan park 15 mins later and i didnt find a hill again with same steep incline as when it happened. In the 18 months of towing i havent experienced it before and car has been faultless. Todays trip was only fm Toowoon Bay to Katoomba so be interesting to see if it happens when we head to Bathurst in a few days on any steep inclines. Car is at 33k now. Currently 1 month into a 5 month trip. -

Any 2L motors for sale?
I have a 2003 Cruiser that has done a bearing. My car is in beautiful condition otherwise. I've enquired at wreckers but to be honest they are asking far too much. Any help, referral, suggestions or advice would be greatly appreciated. -

Proud Owner of Toyota Crown
I was very happy with my Toyota Crown but unfortunately, I had an accident after which I was not able to repair it fully and several problems were arising day after day so I started to search for Cash for cars near me and I found the best one with the name of PS Car Removal. Everyone should consult PS Car Removal if they want to sell their used, broken, or damaged car. -

2013 Toyota Rav4 diesel head gasket issues
Hi everyone .. I have a 2013 Toyota Rav4 diesel .. which has blown a head gasket at 120,000 kms while we were on holidays .. it is being repaired .. $5K later .. and I'm seriously thinking about selling it. Wondering if others have this issue or if it is a know deficiency in the diesels I have had 2 other Rav's both petrol with no issues like this and it is way too early in the life of the car to be dealing with these issues I would have thought. Cheers Steve -

Hilux Dash Lights
Hey, I’m Skye! 😊 Today while driving my 2012 Toyota Hilux the engine light, traction control light and ABS light come on all together on the dash and the car lost most of its power. The lights are solid and are still there. I have parked it up for now. Has anyone had a similar issue happen or know what the cause could be? Just a FYI - it was serviced 2000kms ago and has 241,000km on the odometer. I will be taking it to a mechanic but as it’s my only means of transport and I live remotely and can’t get to into the mechanic for a week, I thought I’d check whether it might (wishful thinking I think) be something easy? Thanks so much in advance! Skye ☺️ -

2020 Corolla service question
In general what I would do in your situation upon purchasing a second hand car: - Replace ALL of the fluids + the Engine air filter + the cabin air filter and possibly the spark plugs. In regards to the gearbox oil, If it's a manual and you just drive it normally, perhaps in 75% of the time period. If it's an auto transmission I would say maybe every 60,000 km (happy to be corrected by other forum members), and if going aftermarket oil ensure that you know exactly what oil your transmission requires. Other than perhaps the gear box oil, would you be doing the service items yourself? -

RATTLING CAMRY 2013
How long have you owned the car? There could be more than 1 issue, so it is best until proven otherwise to treat them as 2 separate issues. Firstly in regards to the noise, have you checked the Engine and transmission mounts? In regards to the "hard to start": - Is it that the starter motor sounds like it's struggling? - Does it crank properly but the engine takes an excessive amount of time to start up? - Have you noticed and excess fuel smells coming from the exhaust? Have you checked the spark plugs to see if they are pointing at an issues (perhaps a leaking injector) etc? I don't know of any common issues, simply because I don't have that year model Camry, but "the basics" still apply.
