Timing Belt light
I have to agree with Herb on this one. A timing belt should always be done as a preventative maintenance item every 100K or 6-7 years. I would even advocate to do it a bit earlier, AND, only use Genuine Parts or OEM spec for these. Don't cheap out on a timing belt as it can bite you in the bum. If you plan to sell the car, either do it now so it makes a good selling point or let the buyer know that it needs doing. -

Timing Belt light
I presume that the timing belt light means that it is time to replace the belt. They have a limited life, like about 100k, or so. Herb -

Gearbox issue
Vehicle Details: I own a 2011 (MY12) turbo diesel 4x4. Issue Description: When shifting into second gear, the transmission produces a grinding or crunching sound. Additionally, downshifting into first gear is only possible when the vehicle is completely stationary. Repairs Attempted: To address the issue, I have replaced the gearbox, installed two new clutches over time, and replaced both the master and slave cylinders. Despite these repairs, the issue persists. I'm seeking advice on potential causes or further steps that could resolve the problem. -

Timing Belt light
Hi all I just joined Prado club and I live in Cairn’s and although I love my Prado I have to sell it because since my wife’s hip surgery she cannot get in it. Does anyone know where I can find a proper Prado/Toyota buy and sell dealer up here ? Its 2013 model that goes like a rocket with only 150km Also since it’s hit 150km the timing belt light comes on..do I need to get that fixed before I sell it or tell new owner about it if I can get it removed? Cheers -

2017 Toyota Hilux 4x2 workmate - transmission issue
Mate go to a transmission specialist, that's all they work on, day in, day out. You wouldn't go to a dentist for a new pair of shoes The Aisin trans is really durable, have the specialist perform a service, unless the vehicle is throwing a check engine light, don't expect any fault codes to be logged, so I doubt hooking up a laptop will reveal anything, afterall that's NOT Midas specialty, just my 2 bobs worth -

2017 Toyota Hilux 4x2 workmate - transmission issue
Hi I purchased a used 2017 4x2 workmate, auto, which I've owned for over 12 months now. I have noticed an issue with the transmission. First thing in the morning is when it is most noticeable but does happen during the day also. When the ute is about to change from 3rd gear into 4th it revs high as it goes into the next gear. It always seems to be from 3rd to 4th. I was at Midas getting my brake pads changed and i had a good chat to the guys down there about it. They suggested it could be that the transmission fluid needs a flush out. They did show me the colour of the transmission oil and it was apparantly ok but not great (yellow/dirty colour as apposed to red as advised). They said this may help (at about $400) but cant guarantee it and for about $150 they would hook it up to their computer (I'm not sure all details) and take it for a drive and see what the ute tells them. I guess I'm after some opinions on this and do you think its worth spending the money to do these initial processes, which I'm leaning towards. Looking for advice... Cheers Gilly -

Corrolla Station wagon
I don't know about Corolla, but I tried to get an Hyundai i30 wagon and was told that they wouldn't bring any in since the demand was so low. Bought an MG ZS SUV instead. Herb
