Hi. We have just bought a 2007 Sportivo and just noticed that the high mount brake light isn't working. Being LEDs the entire light shouldn't have died.

We have checked the light but being a sealed unit can't see anything.

Fuses checked - runs normal brake lights and they are fine.

Having checked the manual it says call Toyota. Dont fancy the cost that Toyota will charge to sort this out. Surely there has to be a more logical reason than all the LEDs have died at once - they should outlast the car

With the car parked, engine switched off (try with ignition on too) and your foot on the brake, can you move the gear lever from Park to drive/neutral without having to use the "shift lock" button?

Also have you checked the fuse box under the glove box?

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      In my humble experience with our car and Toyota - the majority we came across travelling around Australia towing a van is they are uncaring, irresponsible and possibly dangerous. One of them forgot to tighten the front wheel. Imagine the disaster if the wheel had decided to part company at 90kph towing a 3t caravan.

      Towing with landcruiser 300 series

      Good practice to tow in 4th. Lots of information on the now defunct LCCOL forum but everyone was in agreement about towing in 4th. I have done this towing a 3.5t rated van. Fuel consumption is so similar it is not an issue. It is more about getting the engine spinning. New diesel like to spin as opposed to chug along like the old style ones. Proof for me was when I had the ECU remapped and installed a lockup kit. Whilst the car was happy to hold 5th and 6th - extra power and locked - the EGTs were telling a different story. Towing in 4ht at a GPS 90 - 95 kph turned out to be the best combination for forward progress and fuel consumption.

      Remote batteries going flat very quickly

      There was a post on the now defunct LCOOL forum whereby you could put your remote in a 'sleep' state and save the battery. It seems the remote is constantly looking for a signal which in turn drains the battery.

      Major Oil Leak

      tragedy has struck 😔... my 07 SX6 suffered a major oil leak this morning. Got a low oil pressure alert, pulled over. dip stick was bone dry with small amounts of metal flakes on the end. i'm assuming the leak is caused by either the oil cooler lines or the vvti rubber line deterioration. Car has been towed to my house. Whats the best course of action now? fix the leak and do a few oil flushes? or do i need a whole new motor?

      ST-162 front door-glass seal availability

      Hi all, my wife has a 1988 ST-162 Celica which I have been lovingly caring for since we met 25 years ago. It is in VGC, but of late the wind noise at freeway speeds has become much louder, and with the current wet weather the front doors are leaking rain through the 'seal' point between the window glass and the door seals. The doors are hanging in the proper position and the windows do not seem to be unduly loose in their carriers. I am trying to find a new set of door seals to try to fix the problem, but have had no success anywhere. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated! My mobile is 0427 478874, or reply here!

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.
