My 6 stacker head unit has gone bonkers. the eject and load mechanism seems to be stuck. I started the car the other day and tried to eject a disc. nothing happened and and stayed on the eject screen for ages. then and Error came on the screen. now i can't eject, load new discs. i can't even play any discs already in there. i can only play radio and tape. Arghh! not happy <_< :angry:

i've booked it in for service but we'll see how it goes.

it sounds like warranty so do not worry you should not need to pay for the repair.

thoroughly check your car upon return because i remember pecker had something to fix in his interior and the mechanic accidentally damaged other parts.

when discs get stuck in disc-loading drives on macintosh computers there is a spot in the corner of the slot to insert a pin to eject the stuck disc. does the head unit have this spot in the corner of the slot?

good luck!

Thanks for the tip. but no i don't think there is a manual eject thingy on the head unit. i will have a closer look during lunch though.

yeah, i'm sure warranty will cover it but i'm just annoyed that i have to take time off work to go and get it fixed. :angry:

i know what you mean about the inconvenience.

part of my car was repainted under warranty. not only did they make me take my car direct to the panel beater but then i had to make my own way to and from work as there was no loan car for the week.

sorry if this sounds rude but did you look in the manual for troubleshooting? there could be something there to help you and then you can save your time in going in for warranty service.

Hahaha. It just worked. i just went out to the car and when i started the car, the disc just ejected. The disc had a stick on label and the label peeled and jamed the mechanism. :angry:

oh well, guess i'm a idiot for blaming toyota when it was actually the disc. :ph34r:

Seems like these 6cd players have some problems. I think burnt CD may cause damage for the unit. It happened in my gf's IS200 and my friend's Mazda6. But thank *** it was the sticker that caused the problems. Careful next time dude :)

my first 6 stacker gave up the musical ghost with CDr's.

Anyway good to see you solved the problem.

BTW was that the word *** that was censored?

Anyone: Why is the word g-o-d not allowed on this forum, talk about over censoring...

      Door seals - causing internal leak

      Hi experts need some help. I have a 2004 Sahara 100series. With all this rain we are having my car has started leaking. It was my father in laws car. It’s leaking water down the pillar trim where the handle is inside front seats onto the dash, down the side of airbag and glovebox and dripping from corner foot area where dash ends and onto the floor. I can see the seal on the roof above the door has a gap in it. Could this be it? 1Q. Who would I get to look at this? 2Q. Anyone had this issue before? 3Q. Where do I begin. Thanks in advance, Sarah IMG_3589.mov

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Kanga, You wouldn't believe it, I found a pump at a Victorian wrecker. He posted it to me but to the wrong address. It was 10 days before I found this out. I went to the wrong address and they said the didn't see it. Austpost is adamant it was delivered. The wrecker fortunately has another one. So, I haven't taken the old one out yet.

      I was hoping for a trivial issue like a blockage, but seems Im out of luck....

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Just tested before - I think its dead. No noise - nothing. I also note that the power supply I have actually delivers a really high-pitched noise when it is on. When you connect it to something, that noise goes away. In this case, when I connect to the terminals, the noise remains. I'm going to have to get inside to look further. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the room to do a job like that. Geoff, did you have any luck getting yours out through the inspection hole mate? I'd seen a few Lexus owners actually cut the inspection hole to get this part out without dropping the tank. Each to their own, but I'm looking to avoid anything that invasive....

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Just let me preface this by saying I know very little about cars in general, so apologies if I get some basic info wrong here. Ive lost the key to my 2000 Toyota Torago. I rang up a local locksmith to get a quote on a replacement key, and apparently it'll cost $1200 for two keys?? The old key didn't even have any electronics in it, it was just a basic key. Not button unlock or anything. I've gotten an electronic car key cut before and it only came to $400! This price for a key without a chip seems extortionate to me. Can someone please let me know if this price is normal, and if so why the hell its so expensive? Thanks in advance for the help! Here's all the information I think is relevant to the car (let me know if more is needed): TOYOTA TARAGO ACR30 II 16V 2.4L 2AZ-FE DOHC 16v Petrol 4cyl 115kW MPV FWD [02/00-02/06] Compliance plate / RAV entry date: 04/2000

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff
