Corolla crank no start (sometimes)
My toyota corolla 1.6 2005 e12 only starts when it feels like it. To make it quick and short, the fuel pump runs, i can hear it buzzing. You turn the key the engine spins but never starts. I have checked the spark plugs. they are fine, the compression is 150 cyl 1 140 cyl 2 155 cyl 3 170 cyl 4. I cannot understand why it doesnt start. It could take 20 attempts or at as little as 4 but never less than 4 goes if it doesnt start and fire the first time. And yes most of the time it starts and runs the first time you turn the key. A warm or cold engine apparently has no affect on it. -

Usefulness of this forum
The usefulness of the Forum is based upon the contributing posts whether it is by others and particularly your own posts. The most useful posts are ones that actually have replies outlining what ended up resolving the issue for their particular vehicle. Most of my posts are based upon my own experience and knowledge. This can be quite limited because I am a long term owner so my vehicle turnover is quite low. I am a petrol car sedan/hatchback guy only so unlikely to reply to posts about other vehicle types. My focus is more upon preventative maintenance, low cost of ownership and safety. I have found that by helping others, I am also helping myself. My previous posts can also be like time stamps and diary entries. -

Brake issues
I feel your pain, I just about have an identical issue. Never had a shudder until I (supposedly upgraded) my brakes Only difference is I replaced my originals with new dba pads & rotors. Certainly stopped great, but had nothing but issues. Had them machined a few times. I would only get a few thousand kms and it would start again. Replaced again with another brand that (won't have this issue) and after first trip towing the boat, guess what? Something has definitely changed since first replacement. As nearly 200k of issue free driving/towing, now nothing but repeated brake shudder and same story from different mechanics? -

Usefulness of this forum
Hi thanks for the reply I do appreciate it and the information re these forums. As for the reply about the steering wheel thanks that is helpful, I have done some recent research online and found there are some boss kits that will fit, including I think it was NINA, there are also 3d printed options as well as adjustable options. The boss kit was the main issue with changing wheels and so I think this can be sorted. The main brands listed on the Autoparts stores data bases and listed in online searches such as MOMO do not appear to have boss kits that fit I will post again soon with the brands of boss kits and wheels that will fit the 2005 2wd Hilux Workmate 2.7L as well as what else they will fit, and some information on the adjustable ones when possible. I am interested in the adjustable ones it is an interesting idea I will have to explore them further as this may be an easier option, depending of course on the wright ups regarding there reliability and safety. Some of the boss kits need to be imported but I will fill you all in further when I can, sorry if I got those kit names wrong but off the top of my head at present, I think that was the ones I looked at. Thanks again for the responses.- 2

New Hilux GRS w noises
Hey Folks I'm new here and seeking help. I've got a new GRS but recently noticed a rattle noise. Generally noise occurs whilst on idle, after the engine is warm. Video attached. I'm new to diesel Ute's so this is a first for me. Only reporting on before and after observations. Had the vehicle since mid Oct, noise popped up mid Nov. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance 20241121_172335.mp4 -

Steering angle fault 2021 VX Prado
I’d be interested to know how you went with this as the same thing has happened in my 2020 Kakadu today out of the blue and just after a service. -

2002 Avalon .. Cabin Air inlet admitting leaves & debris ??
I am expecting a similar layout as the Camry/Aurion. Air intake is the area underneath the wipers and the firewall. Not sure whether you have actually removed the cabin air filter when you did the cleaning. Following eBay listing has a diagram of the cabin air filter system underneath the dashboard. https://www.ebay.com/itm/153936392070 I suspect/expect that there are more gum leaves in the inlet ducting that have found their way to the areas that you cleaned. Looks like a rinse and repeat situation until all of those accumulated leaves are gone. Good opportuntity to also remove and clean/replace that cabin air filter. -
