Re: Hilux d4d Female 7 pin Tow Socket Waterproofing

Thanks Greg. I was leaning towards this myself. I will fill and let set but with bootlace lugs on the connections to ensure all is secure. once set I will bolt back on to the plate.

Its a bit of a pain this one, strange few have had this challenge.

Re: D4D Inaccurate Oil Level On Dipstick

I am not buying your auto box running engine oil level check, no offence. What I want to know is, does the fault lie in a too smooth dipstick or is there some special method that needs to be used?? Anyone who has owned a KZ knows the dipstick has cross markings on it and there is never any doubt as ...

I have tried removing the dipstick for a few m...

KZTE Cooling System Pressured expansion tank

Gents, I noticed this when browsing for a double cab for sale. Radiator sealed and pressure cap on the expansion bottle.

Can anyone explain this to me. I think it is standard to have a pressurised radiator and not an expansion tank?
