No problem! :)

Just for you buddy I have added paseo to the list!!

welcome to the club!

hey welcome to the club! Nice ride!!!! :)

bout time they did this

I have changed my pads before but it was a non toyota Firstly I removed the cap on the brake fluid resevoir under the hood. Then with the wheel off i un-bolted the bottom bolts on the caliper and loosened the top one slightly and then swivelled the caliper upwards.. unclipped the brake pads and removed brake pads. Then with a bar i forced the brake cylider back in (watch the fluid rises out of the resevoir... best ensure you have cloth under the resevoir) popped some special caliper grease in between the brake pad and shim.. popped back onto caliper. after i reassemble the bads and caliper is bolted back in place I gently start pumping the brakes (bleeding) keeping my eye on the resivour making sure it does not run dry.. keep topping up until brakes feel firm again. Check again after driving about a few miles. Also never brake hard with new pads... they need to bed in for a week. I am not a mechanic... So Do not hold me responsible if my advice above go wrong. This was on an old nissan.. never tried it since.

Hey.. welcome to the club could be an earthing problem or faulty swtich on the stalk. best seek advice from a car electrician or try the dealership.. they will give advice and tell you the problem.

you have been studying Ian?? knowledgebag :P

drive forward very slowly... it may engage then. best not drive on roads using 4x4.. well on my hilux it is supposed to be bad to drive high speeds in 4 wheel drive
