Awesome, thanks for all of the input. I will post the final fix .

Hi Johan, I have checked and: - on dims the tail lights work and the dims don't work - on next setting "main lights", tail lights work but not front lights - brights work. I have not checked the relay yet. Is it possible that both "main beams" can go together on the globes? Appre...

Hi, If anyone is able to assist ... I have a Hilux 2.5 D4-D 2007 and on getting into my vehicle to drive home tonight, no dims or headlights but brights work perfectly. Fuses seem ok (not sure if I was looking at the right ones) but no lights outside of brights. Please assist with suggestions if pos...

Hi Mike,
I understood it to be the onre that Dylan advised.

Hi, Late entry here ... any training is good as said but Groupon finds some really interesting service suppliers - I have had two really memorable incidents and one of them was with a chap (un-named) that drove in the Top Gear festival etc. and, as a first intro to 4 x 4 training, not a great start....

That is were everyone gets caught out ... Domicilum blah blah. Essentially I would not worry, just ensure that you keep a record of advising the sender that it is the incorrect address. You might get court papers served one day (not for you but technically just "delivered"). This allows fo...

Any chance that these will fit my Lux?

Hi Thinus, Check with the bicycle shops. I use a product for my tubeless tyres on my mountain bike. There are two variations ... STAN'S is a thin product and then there is another suited for tushes and tubeless. This one has fibre bits in it. Essentially the technology works as follows ... Hole in t...

If they are replacing without hassle on a regular basis that is good but the downside is the inconvenience to you. Hope that the newest parts go the distance.

Soo peaceful ....

Hi Jacques, it is a good forum and the knowledge shared is amazing ... I am still mostly in the sponge category and still absorbing info. More so, the folk are great!

Looks good!

If you leave on the Brit p/port you won't get back in without a residence permit. Suggest that you get that temp. Passport. If in doubt, use a passport agency as they know how to get these things done. I recall that I have used a company in Edenvale called "Passport 2000" but don't know if...

Good perseverance and thanks for reporting on the fix.

Impressive!

Hi Michael,
What size tyres?

Hi Eve, Welcome :wave: I have not been disappointed by my Hilux! Suggest that you look closely at the deal with your family friend and what price is being paid. Usually it is close to book so suggest that you look at ensuring that you both sign some sort of a warranty clause. Most dealers will beat ...

Will the shackles (vehicle x 2) and bridal / rope x 1 not always be the weak point?

Sounds like it is working well

Thanks for posting this. So many more folk should be looking at this post!

It was Marks light that left those patches a bit sunburned

Looks like a good replacement for the Nuvi 710. Is the touchscreen responsive? My 710 needs a hard push to key in details.

ATH

In all of the vehicles I have owned, I have learned to distrust opinions / findings of dealerships and workshops as their systems run to vehicle throughput and trainees are in full force on your vehicle. If there is no shuddering, suggest that you push your case forward but at least you know that th...

As a newcomer to 4x4 cost-to-kit-out I am learning that there is a lot of DIY that can be done to get a bit more out of a small budget! Perhaps we should have a new section for suppliers into the 4x4 aftermarket arena that do not rip the proverbial bottom out of "it"

I lost 12 kgs so I could put the bash plate on my pumpkin

I am learning ... Thx Guys, this is good reading.

I recently went to play in the snow at Underberg last weekend and came to the conclusion that, with the fantastic bash plate from Mark, I did a bit of snow ploughing. Conclusion ... Need some height! Looking at upgrading via the 4x4outlets is just too costly so I am looking at a shopping out myself....

Gerrie ... Looks very good!

Enjoy, you may be a bit warmer than we will be in the Drakensberg.

Yes, it's a LN166 ....... available here from 1988 to 2005 and mostly referred to as an IFS model (Independent Front Suspension). Vehicle trim and grilles differed between some year models and between those supplied in different countries, but otherwise the vehicles were much the same. Although the...

Hi Dawie,
The 500 is good and one that is on the "old list" but as far as I know, does not yet have a replacement. I am using a nuvi 710 and Garmin have the 500 as a replacement for the 710.
I think that you are safe buying the 500.

I cannot see a turbo or intercooler. Suggest that you e-mail one of the Toyota workshops and get them to confirm OE turbo and then look at a non OE intercooler. However, just read an article from AU (http://www.4x4earth.com.au/forum/motors/18206-toyota-hilux-5l-e-turbo.html" onclick="windo...

Looks new!

ATH

I have now found out that the issue is the front diff actuator and the part has been ordered ... Toyota are moving their parts warehouse so just waiting to hear. Job should cost just under R4K.

Thanks for your help Mark!

ATH

Mark, looks very good and functional with that 2m worth of play for light scatter.

ATH

OK, now it is dark ...

ATH

Dave, sounds good! Look forward to seeing the figures with the intercooler.

ATH

Try some dry ice and flex the zip to break the adhesive bond (cold temp will embrittle the glue) - works with chewing gum in carpets most times. Hope you come right!

Hope you come right and get sorted out. Welcome.

Good one!

The BS baffles ...

but it is better than the original spec. i am sure that if I cut a piece off the roofliner I will find some kW too!

ATH

Just got back from SAC and much better performance. 90.2kW and 312Nm. Part of the issue was that the original carpet under the pedal was only allowing 70% throttle. Sorted out and much better response and the fuel efficiency was tuned in better.

ATH

I had my vehicle in today to get the issue resolved but it is not that simple so if there are any solutions or guidelines or pointers I will be appreciative ... very. :beg: After inspection all the mechanical stuff checked out fine and the problem was traced to the electrical connection to the front...
