Hey guys, while driving my 08' ZR6 on the motorway the other day (I had the stereo off), I noticed this faint whistling, or whining, coming from the front of the car. Not too sure whats causing it, its not supercharged or modded in any way, but I am curious as to whats causing this noise and whether or not it indicates a problem with the engine.

Thanks!

      Issues starting first time, sometimes

      Hi all, For some reason my 2012 Prado is having dramas starting first time every so often. Regularly serviced 192k KMs. Sounds really rough during initial failed attempt to start. Then on second attempt will start fine no drama's. Sometimes I can hear a little bit of that initial struggle during a cold start and will still start. Everything else seems to be running fine. Thinking it could be a fob or immobiliser issue? Have had the same result with both main and spare key fob. Booked mechanic in a couple of weeks for diagnosis but hoping to point him in the right direction. First video is the no start and the second is immediately after appearing fine. Cheers! cold start fail.mp4 success.mp4

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      the toyota sienna is a DREAM. I wish they would make it here in australia and compete with the kia carnival. theres so many families getting into mini vans now, but we prefer toyota hands down. the graniva is UGLYYYY.

      PZQ60-00525 Issue

      I can confirm this worked for installing PZQ60-00345 from a 2020 70 series landcruiser into my 2000 100 series. It's an old thread but the only fix I could find - so bumping up.

      Gasoline smell in cab when driving

      Hey mate! Hoping you’re still here. How’d you go with this? Currently trying to diag the exact same thing in my rzn169r 4x4 2.7l hilux. Smell is getting pretty unbearable but all fuel lines are dry and nothing obviously wrong with any vents or connections (on the surface at least). No smell when idling. Mostly just while driving, especially after a long stretch at high speed or uphill. Noticeable inside, most strongest in the rear right passenger seat - right near the fuel door.
