Toyota Owners Club

Hi gfr92y ..... welcome to the Club!

Hi Maria....sorry to hear of the demise of your 4runner. Its always difficult to find one that compares to the one you owned and kept in great condition. Good luck with your search and let us know how you get on with your search

Hi.....welcome to the Club I believe it would be due to analogue stations being downgraded to make way for digital stations which would provide better signal coverage. Maybe time to upgrade the system to a DAB radio for better choice of stations?

It sounds like it could be a front anti-roll bar link or worn CV joint making the noise

I would look at the above post as it mentions replacing the vehicle battery which if discharged will give these symptoms. Additionally, the vehicle may need to be programmed to accept the new battery voltage, otherwise it will still read the discharged voltage reading A breakdown/recovery service should be able to get you up and running if the vehicle is immobile

Hi George! ....welcome to the Club What class did you race and what cars?

If it was me I would always use a mobile based SatNav over the original equipment as it is more updatable and usually quicker to respond to road blocks, etc

Hi CarJack....welcome to the Club Toyota through and through then! Best way forward is to stick to what you know works, and this case it is Toyota cars Good to have you onboard!

Hi Arsalan.....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

Hi.....welcome to the Club I think you have a good grasp of how the site works and what not to do 🙂 Just enjoy the site and hope you find the information you want.

That's a tough one! you seem to be checking everything in the correct order and the only other items I would check is the integrity of the catalytic converter joints (the slightest air leak can cause issues with lambda readings) An emissions gas check can highlight any air leaks by way of high oxygen content (should be zero at the end of the exhaust). Otherwise, you could replace the oxygen sensor connections or even hardwire them to ensure no error with the connection terminals?

I believe most fuel tanks are anti-syphon nowadays but I suppose if they really want your fuel they'll take it

Perfect up-cycling in action! Post up a piccy of them on your Yaris if you want?

Sounds like a flat battery, have it tested and if low reading once engine running then replace

I think to remind you that the key is still in the ignition ?

Hi Zoe.....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!

You local dealership parts department should be able to give you a parts list diagram highlighting those components you need. Whether they are available is another thing but if you have the part numbers then it makes it easier to track down on eBay, etc

Shifter cable is one option, as is something dropped into the selector mechanism inside the car or under the hood? Is the footbrake also pressed while trying to shift into Park?

Hi.....welcome to the Club Always the best way, working on your own vehicles can be fun and also save loads of cash. Good to have you onboard!

Seems odd....as would have thought the correct position to place your hands if driving correctly is either 9 and 3, or 10 and 2 o'clock position.

Sounds like the motor or linkage is seizing / seized Would start by disconnecting the linkage from the motor and see if it is free to move. Is so, then switch the wipers on and see if the motor turns, if not then replace it

This seems to have high ratings and looks fit for purpose https://getcatsecurity.com/

I think they are aftermarket parts (e.g. part of the Viper system) that aren't being used. They don't look like original equipment wiring connectors

Hi Aztec ....welcome to the club! Not sure about the glass, sorry! But do keep us updated with the restoration, sounds like a great truck (built them well in those days)

Hi Skyroamer .... good to have you onboard!
