Hilux 4x4 Forum

Afternoon gang
I have a 2010 D4-D Hilux Raider 4x4. As of late the rear suspension has become a real squeaky affair and it is driving me nuts. Any recommendations on who I can send the vehicle too for a honest and fair price remedy.
Thanking in advance
Regards Stefan

Update on my saga.
Send email to service manager and to cut a long story short all I can say is my faith has been restored in the dealership and the brand. Hilux is going in next Tuesday for clutch replacement and all labour and parts are going to be covered.

Awesome is all I can say.

Feedback on my saga. Clutch and thrust bearing claim was rejected by Toyota. New gear level was replaced under warrantee. I have never in my life experienced such bollie service from a dealership. Over and above these issues, wiper blades were to be replace. I know its a small thing, but when collec...

What a car what a team

ok, got hold of JMPD and queried this and here's the reason why. The vehicle is registered in a companies name and hence the rate is almost triple. One can fill out forms etc and have the fine re-issued, but this could take for ever as the AARTO website is very very slow and dis-functional. So now y...

Hi all With the recent postings of Vigo's been stolen, I have managed to source a indicator guard, that covers/protects the side indicator unit from being popped out.

No real story, I think it was more operator error. I can't even blame the nav (who by the way owes a Land Rover

). I chose the line and nearly paid the price. After all that I even lost points cause the mirror touched the friggin pole. Anyway lesson learn't watch for the roll over angle.
