Hey guys, this has been probably been asked but wanted to ask if wrapping the tail lights in Melbourne is illegal and if $100 is a reasonable price.

I was told that any tints other than the windows must have at least 70% transmittance on them. Just thought I would get clarification from you guys cheers

I know in Queensland that tail lights need to pass a colour and brightness test.

Pending on tint it can actually change the shade of colour. As well brightness. If you do a light tint probs will have no issue. Those dark tints you see sometimes will not be legal.

This is queensland so hopfully someone from victoria can wage in.

Also if for some reason someone rear ends you. I pretty sure your insurance would drop you soon its found out you have dimer then factory tail lights.

Source: In 2012 my car was given a unroadworthy notice for tinted tail lights.

I live in Queensland as far as I am aware mine are legal. All I did with mine was use 2 coats of Nightshade which is made for lights so the light still passes through them. If you want it a bit darker than mine you can always try and find brighter lights so it still goes through?

      200 series Sahara Pre-collision system malfunction

      Members 1 First Name:Peter Toyota Model:Landcruiser Sahara Year: 2017 Location: Western Australia Posted January 21, 2024 We have the same problem. 2017 Landcruiser Sahara. I have been to a dealership who said they fixed it. They thought it was a wiring connector malfunction next to the windscreen rear view mirror. The problem returned after 6 months. They showed me how to reset the "limp mode" when it happens. Close all doors. Turn on engine. Turn off engine. Lock the car using the key switch. Unlock the car using the key switch. Repeat this two (2) more times. (total of 3 times). The system resets, the messages disappear, the car is out of "limp mode". This is great, except at the moment the problem returns about 20 minutes later. Yes, it is frustrating but worst of all, depending on who you talk to, dealers included, everyone has a different solution, but nobody has the final solution. At least, I have been told that I can keep driving the car whilst this error is displayed as long as I am aware that the pre-crash system won't work. I must say that otherwise, I think this car is an absolute beauty. Does anyone have a magic answer? Peter Lanski, did you get a magic remedy from anyone? Have had the same issue, takes out cruise including of course adaptive, lane departure, Does not derate the engine, Not sure I've done this properly being 1st time on this forum club. Pete.B. WA

      2000 Prado ebay power steering rack

      Evening guys, Got myself a 2000 Landcruiser Prado and slowly attending to the neglected suspension but I noticed after changing my inner rack ends, it's been leaking (not sure for how long) I know how to change these racks (not impossible but maybe awkward) and I know it can be cheaper maybe getting new seals and getting a mechanic to do it but just wondering if anyone has had any luck with a new power steering rack off Ebay (the $250-$300 ones). I've read reviews and they don't seem to have any negative results and obviously the Prados are also overseas (Tecomas). Just alot easier for me to change on my own then to go without a car (as possible chance, it be my home on wheels if getting evicted) Cheers

      Front Wheel Hub Bearings...

      Essentially you can stick the screw driver on any bit of the engine, but the closer to a rotating part the better, but if there are zero noises when the car isn't being driven, including with your head "under the bonnet" with someone revving the engine, or turning the wheels (if your car has a power steering pump) or when the aircon is switched on etc.... I would say that it's unlikely to be an engine bay related noise. From what I've seen in your posts over the years, I'm glad that you're car can't talk..... because it wouldn't shut up about how much it loves you 🙂 Given that you don't plan on selling it (unless I tell you this weeks winning lotto numbers... and even then.....), changing the wheel bearings won't hurt. Keep us updated mate 🙂

      Red Liquid In Catch Can

      No worries. Hopefully it's not the head gasket... In regards to red dye in and untaxed diesel fuel, I googled "red diesel Australia" and from what I can see we do have this in Australia. So to rule that out I would collect a sample when you fuel up next at your local, or if you feel brave syphoning some fuel from your tank. All the best Steve

      Red Liquid In Catch Can

      Hi, Thanks, yes I have just had to top up the coolant and will be monitoring that but I think that was low due to another reason. My first thought was it red due to untaxed fuel but didn't find anything about it being the case in Australia. I know in the UK untaxed fuel is red. Hopefully it's not a head gasket 🤞 Cheers Dave
