My fuel warning light came on and just kept blinking even after draining and changing the element. Checked the float and contacts are opening and closing, but not sure why the light just wont go off. Based on what I see, when the float is down, the light is supposed to be off, and when there it is w...

Well seeing that they going to start re-enforcing these things, I need to get my inspection up to par. Quick question though, does the person whose name is on the Certified Copy need to be there? Or anyone can do and do the inspection process? Do they ask for ID to confirm that you are the owner of ...

Based on the feedback I get from a few Hilux owners, this AC compressor clutch, or aka "field coil" seems to be a prominent problem. I know some people rewire and bake it over, but it seems it doesn't hold out too long after. Anybody know where sells this new other than TTTL? Have other va...

I know this could open the gate for a number of answers, but I have this persistent neighbor who continues to put his cow in front my property and let it graze. Naturally the cow does his business on my driveway and I've spoken to him many times about it, but he's very ignorant. Now I know there are...

Hey Guys, Can the 2.5L Hilux take an intercooler? Has anyone ever ventured into it? I'm not familiar with the engine makeup or layout of the 2.5 and the 3.0, but I believe the 3.0 has the top mounted intercooler. Would it be as simple as getting a 3.0 intercooler and installing it, and either cuttin...

Guys it really helps to know that not me alone experience this...I did in fact have the chrome covers, so I took it off to check, same issue. Now I'm not even sure its the mirror too. Just from oberservation I'm trying to narrow it down. It really does happen at crosswinds, but I noticed when I crac...

When driving upwards of 100 kph I notice that the wing mirrors make a loud whistling sound as the wind hits it. It took me a while to determine where the noise was coming from but eventually I pin point the issue to the mirrors. Has anyone else experienced this issue, and what they did to resolve it?

Anyone else ever had any issues with wind hitting your wing mirrors and making this irritating whistling noise? I get it from above 100 kph. Any solutions to it?

Hi guys, I'm a Toyota man and accustomed to the adjusting of the brakes with the turning the star wheel. Last week I needed to change the brake shoes on a march and found a totally different brake setup. From what I understand, the brakes on these now have a wedge that brings the liners either furth...

I have a Hilux van, and I find that when I go upwards of 100 km/hr, I get a howling noise coming somewhere from the left side fender I presume. I know this is air getting in somewhere, and that other van users have the same problem, but was hoping someone here could share their knowledge as to how t...

Hey guys, I saw there was a thread on how to replace the Hilux fuel filter, but didn't see any mention of the issue I was having. Yesterday I tried replacing my fuel filter, and when I screwed back on the ring and primed, fuel was leaking out. I tried this several times and still the same issue. I s...

flyer 1.JPG Well I went in today and cancelled my CC with RBC. The CSR was trying to convince me to keep the card, because they didn't charge the 1% for 6 years, and was trying to tell me I would still benefit. I told her this new strategy is ridiculous, and even though they WERE my main bank, I wo...

Hmm, in the midst of the the crazy that everybody want ah piece of, RBC decide to jump in too. I'm sure there are RBC credit card holders that got a notice stating that they would be implementing a NEW fee where there will be a 1% charge on all foreign transactions!! So in an age where people actual...
