I’m in Logan Qld and looking for a mechanic that may specialise in sportivos. 
my lift does not work and my research says it might be a blocked lift filter. 
called some local mechanics including Toyota and response is what do you mean lift?  
it’s a 2003.

"Lift" is an enthusiast term referring to the secondary high-valvelift camshaft profile (like Honda's VTEC) that the 2ZZGE has, not everyone will recognise the word.  If something mentions a clogged lift filter, it is referring to the filter screens on the VVT and VVL oil control solenoids which attach to the head. That should be more than enough information for Toyota, and most mechanics that deal with modern engines should also at least understand what those components are (even if they don't know _where_ they are)

      Fuel usage

      I bought recently a toyota rav4 2024 - XLE regular- and i get on long drives under 7 liters per 100 km, sometimes 6.5 liters per 100 km. But for the first half of the drive the gas mileage is around 8 liters per 100 km. Do you have similar gas mileage?

      Cruise Control Not Engaging

      Got the same issue on my 2005. I am wondering if it's to do with the airbag recall replacement. Might have not been reconnected, or the clock spring doesn't support cruise control. I will have to make time to pull the airbag off and see whether it's visually obvious.

      Toyota Coaster 1992 BB21R Service Manual (need one)

      Hi, I'm new here so not sure what help I can get... I need a new radiator for my Toyota Coaster BB21R but can't find one anywhere, any ideas? Also, I would like a service manual if there is one available (can't find that either). Thanks, John 0418 315 911

      1993 Corolla Seca CSI limited

      Could I please get a copy of the owner's manual that came with this car? I recently purchased the same car unregistered but it came with no owner's manual. Happy to pay for photocopying and postage. Or could you please tell me the part number that is inside the owners manual so I can try and find one on ebay. Many thanks

      Connecting spotlights to high beam on 2011 Hilux

      Conrod. Thanks for this info. I spent about an hour trying to get my brain around this. Your solution worked perfectly.

      Landcruiser Prado (150 series) AVS suspension

      Hi, I have a 2012 Prado (150 series) which is the LC5 (UK top end model) with AVS (suspension). My problem is that I find the AVS very brittle and a bit uncomfortable (on UK road tarmac) compared to my two previous LandCruisers - a 2001 Colorado and a 2006 Prado (120 series) with standard mechanical suspension. In the UK there are so few Prados sold with AVS that the dealers have no knowledge, and there is no Toyota UK technical support. Although I have no warning lights on the dash, there is no difference in the poor ride quality between Firm and Soft settings, thus I feel something must be broken between the dashboard switch and the dampers. Note that my dampers have been checked and two rears replaced, but with no improvement. Does anyone have experience or knowledge of this situation?

      Dangerous rogue dash speaker reflection

      Yeah its the silver surround that not only reflects up onto the windscreen but on the road on the way to and from work reflects the light straight into my eyes. I have just thrown a dark rag over eqch for now as a low tech fix but it looks pretty daggy in a vehicle I am otherwise really happy with. I have asked the dealer how to remove the covers, which they will have to do anyhow as the right one has a small dint in the face. Again only noticeable as the finish is not matt so the dint stands out. I have also messaged JBL nothing back so far.

      93 Landcruiser Trip Meter

      Sorry everyone, made a mistake on the post. Should be the third wheel stuck on 004 and the fourth wheel keeps rotating. Cheers
