Hilux 4x4 Forum

I initially thought this was a hoax, until one of my colleagues had his laptop and other valuables stolen out of his car, a BMW 1 Series (Some have no taste) at the McDonalds in Fourways.
I always listen for the locks clicking shut

Good enough??

Thanks adrenalind

Is removing and reinstalling the blades a difficult job?

I got underneath and checked it out yesterday, couldnt get the squeak going on my own, but I did hear major creaks coming from the leafs

No man Sies!!

You want a photo of the Girlfriend bouncing the bakkie??

Clean the area (with parrefin) out firstly once you have pin pointed out where the squeek is coming from. May well be that one of your bushes are worn. In which case you will have to replace em More here: http://www.hilux4x4.co.za/views/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=8960&hilit=lube+blades" oncli...

Not on mine, however is you get under the rear of the vehicle and get someone to bounce / rock the rear end, you should be able to hear it. Prob coming from the leafs of shackles I suspect exactly that, gonna get the girlfriend to do some bouncing (of the bakkie) this weekend so I can pin point it....

My hilux has a squeak coming from its backside :razz: , seriously though, it has one coming from the rear suspension somewhere, or so it sounds, basically only hear it on bumps, no matter how minor. Has anyone else experienced anything like this on the same model hilux? If so, have you been able to ...

I think a public flogging is in order

There is one of those in Front of Midas, Fourways crossing, minus the Bumper, but also Huge rims with low profile mags.
Dumb ass.
One of the things I love about my hilux is, if I hit a pothole, I dont really stress, just smile and wave and drive on, I wanna see him hit one

Thanks Ooooms, gonna give it another shot

The chain oil filter clamp may damage the plastic, you also get one with a strap from automotove spares shops Shout if you still battle, btw when last was the filter changed? I change mine every 10 000km Please dont report me for Hilux Abuse, but since I got my Lux I have never changed it, and that...

Seems you have done the correct 'thing' by removing the whole filter. (disconnect the two electrical plus!) Remove the filter :thumbup: The fastener nut you should be able to loosen by 'hand' clockwise. The only reason I think it is tight is as a result of dirt having gotten into the grooves. Other...

I decided it was time to change my fuel filter element. So off I went and got one, also checked the write up here http://www.hilux4x4.co.za/change-diesel-filter-hilux/index.php" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false; on how to do it, it sounds so simple. So I get stuck into it and I...

I Managed to sort mine out by removing the seat and bending the brackets on the wall up and back a little, its a tight fit to slide the seat back on but it sits firm against the brackets now and no more rattles

Nice to see you on this side of the fence

As soon as you start playing with your lux a whole new word opens up

Enjoy the forum and welcome

Shot Pype.
Lekka to have someone I know on this side too

That front page pic looks mild compared to the photos taken on the 12th

One thing I did forget, Always worrying about my sparewheel being stolen.
Is there a cheap easy way to make this a little harder?

Not much wrong with the Trusty Hilux. I only have 3 minor complaints with mine, maybe someone can help me solve them too. 1. The handbrake, cable seems to stretch in no time, I readjust and not long after I am pulling the handle up to the roof. 2. bollie Head lights, I honestly expect the brights to...
