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. -

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 -

Tyre tread damage
Hey legends, I need some help here. My tyres gets wore out really quickly for some reason. Fitted 2 new tyres for the front Augest last year and was told today its gone (driven less than 4000km). The rear tyres are even worse. Ever since I got a wheel alignment done last year, the car seems to wobble left and right for 0.5/1 sec every time I drive passed small uneven surface on the road (rear wheels). Went back to the tyre shop and the guy double checked again. He said everything was fine. If it happens again after a week also, I might need to see my mechanic, as it could be a suspension issues. Anyone experienced similar problems? Any help would be appreciated . Thanks! (The photos are both front tyres after less than 4000km of normal driving)
