Mushie,

Just been talking about this with a mate. From what we understand all is good with fifth gear as long as you don't leave it in fifth and labour up hills etc. Basically use your gears properly. We were told that if you let it labour while in fifth you will risk "stretching" the gears.

Cheers

Hello Gavin ,and thanks for your reply. I thought that this may be the case and I have always driven the car in this manner as i am used to changing gears in the Heavy vehicle I drive ,but wasn't sure about the 5th gear in the 4B. Again thanks for your reply .It puts My mind at ease a bit more

      Toyota prado 2018 Rattling noise?

      Yep, we have a 2018 model and it makes the same noise. We had a 2013 model prior to that and it too made the same noise. Has anyone figured out the problem yet?

      What do you use

      Hope the road trip ahead is wonderful my friend, enjoy the open road and scenery around you in your travels. I am glad your trying the Armor all Ultra Ceramic Glass product I love it so easy to use and the end results are great and will reaaply mine this weekend after "Faye" gets her wash and dry. I am trying out the TW Graphene Tyre shine right now and am keen to apply it this weekend as all the videos I have seen look great. Let us know how you find the Ceramic Spray for durability, I am still using the TW Graphene Flex Wax and am super happy with it. Keep Safe On the Black Stuff Mate Hugggss to you and yours KAA

      Workshop manual

      I have recently purchased a 2023 Fortuner and I’m looking for a workshop manual. I have looked in the usual places on the net but can only find much earlier model manuals or the very expensive Toyota subscription. I will be spending a lot of time in the back blocks so need a manual just in case. Can anyone suggest a solution.

      What do you use

      Getting ready for another road trip, so last weekend, the car got a wash and the bat/bird flyover presents removed. I kept it quick and simple using Armor All Super Heavy Duty Wash. Afterwards, I did a quick drive around the block to blow off any excess water then a wipe down with a large microfibre cloth. For the windscreens and side glass, used Armor All Ultra Ceramic Glass Treatment & Cleaner. For the paintwork, used Armor All Ultra Ceramic Spray Coating. For the tyres which will be replaced after this road trip, I will most likely use Aerospace 303 Protectorant.

      Damaged Injector

      Gday guys , Quick question for you guys.. My 08/2020 Hilux was just in an accident & was repaired & when taken to Toyota for a Safety Check & Radar Callibration it says unable to carry out Radar Callibration due to Damaged Injector requiring replacement.. Then Toyota have said Injector had been Damaged due to Impact however didnt see this would have been from the accident given the area of Impact shown in photos.. Im trying to think what else would impact an Injector to cause damage ??? IM CONFUSED Cheers guys

      Low Fuel Warning Light Flashing

      Hi all, I have the issue as well. Also dropped into Broken Hill Toyota. They confirmed with my VIN that my vehicle has only a single tank and hence no transfer pump. Behaviour is same as others experience. Of note I find sometimes there is a lot of gurgling when filling and fuel comes out of the small side pipe just inside the filler. Tank then appears full but if you drive around a bit it will then take another 30L or so. I have found a reference to the system which indicates there is a lift pump and a high pressure pump. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&opi=89978449&url=https://www.service-engine.com.ua/webroot/pdf/TOYOTA%20LAND%20CRUISER%20(200%20SERIES).pdf&ved=2ahUKEwjyzrmD38uBAxUka2wGHcnICtUQFnoECEgQAQ&usg=AOvVaw10YFUjvRnVSsQE0pvI8PFC. But I don't think the problem is related to the above as all operates normally. Could it be related to some problem with any EVAP or breather system ? Doug Hayward. 2012 model.
