Where abouts northman?

fills up your sunday & at three I'll see u at the Gloucester park for the last stage of the Dutton rally ;)

looked the same as last year

I worked for Coventrys for ten plus years thats where i got mine ,But the website shall tell you the stockists

Its gonna be light rain tomorrow so rugg up

Toyota workshops are using the 15w40 magnatec equivelent even in the new cars on the second services ,GTX 3 I'm pretty sure isn't designed for the multivalved engines its more suitable for the conventional engines. I would agree on the semi-syn Penrite range as the product is a happy medium between the expensive syn like Mobil & Redline which viscosity do thin out under load & I think personally better than the Castrol Magnatec

Colin Mcrae at the australian rally (a couple of time mind you) & His brother Alaister at the AHG motorplex flogging the EVO 10 last week

Yeah yeah Angelo.i think its that honking big super charger thats making the noise buddy,I recommend dismantling & selling to the Boz ;)

thats normal buddy thats just our engine driving the belt on your power steering pump,Its not really recommed to turn the wheel on the spot coz it put unessesary load on the rack & pump unit but sometimes we can't help it right

Hey mate, Manual trans & differential oils is filld on the front of the driveshaft housing (24mm)as the drain plugs (24mm) are located in the rear dont worry you'lle find it. Power steering is simply filled in the reservoir There are tonnes of threads in regards to 'what oils is best an all' I personally use redline oils foo all my lubrication & hydraulics as these have proven very reliable to me when i raced,the gearbox n Diff uses the lightweight shockproof oil (Blue) which (I think) OE requests 75w90 & the shockproff is rated at 75w140 (this means it has a higher load rating) Power steering fluid is normally Dexron 3 but I used the redline option because at the time I was buying this at cost & was well looked after.FYI a quart would cost around retail $26.00 so it is expensive but I believe in this product & its never let me down (touch wood) Hope this helps

Watch out Perth ,The 'Boz' is about to leave work to conquer the streets (on his way home which would be a two minute drive) I'll be scoping the southies (humming jaws theme)

Hello der, I have the FC in my Ascent three years ago & the settings my mechanic & i have used have been very impressive,as in powerwise its noticable but at present im so used to it 'i want more' I originally bought the FC to match with the SC kit ,but now my intention to give my car to my lil brutha so i've shelfed the SC kit option til we're ready

No problems Adam, I agree 'Toyota' should be experts on there own cars & common issues on certain new/recent models are frequently accumulated & relayed back to the manufacturer,Bear in mind their will always be a sense of denial, as well ,'no manufacturer will confess in making defective products' but i don't think this the case just a simple mistake of missing or not fully inspecting the suspension. I personally tinkle in suspension setups for my own & collegues cars,I would get the suspension specialist on this one first,do an extensive report included the faulted shocks & submit this to Toyota,& demand action..you'de be surprised how some dealerships will comply

When i was working for Toyota as an service advisor last year (or so)i was told by my workshop chief mechanic Rav 4's were notorious for road noise,Every Rav that came in i personally drove to find if this the case as I was in the market to buy one & wanted to find out any discrepencies with these type of cars (small all wheel drive suv's). Differential noise have never been the case but to eliminate this I had recommended & used a differential additives from Redline & Penrite oils,on the next service some of my customers but some came back & still complained about persisting 'road noise' After the initial check over (shockie check,wheel bearings etc which I perosnally involved myself in) I can say a majority of Rav's have noisey tyres (apperently its the wheel base geometry combined with the low factory height) & this is worsened by deep tread 4WD tyres that arent factory endorsed. Very rarely are bearings & shocks at fault,as bearings on the newer Rav's are one piece units now & theyre made to be 'unservicable', as for shockies on a 2005 youre shocks should be just coming outta puberty unless your constantly go bush bashing,pull heavy loads ,city terrain should not wear shocks but worn shocks shouldve been picked up on the pre service check ups.either by oil leaking (drip or weeping) regrettably this can be missed by technicians. Bring this up with Toyota,Your car's still in warranty so get the shocks changed over first then get them to do a undercarriage check again,maybe have you or your wife present with the technician/manager when you drive the car (before n after service)this covers u if the whirring occurs & having them there makes your case valid. Good luck
