Hi....welcome to the Club
Master Tech! what brand of vehicle do you work on?
More than welcome to jump in with answering any questions and impart your specialist knowledge to fellow members.
Enjoy your Yaris, looks superb !
-
wow! that's close.
I suppose you could get an overall rolling diameter of a new tire by going into a tire shop and asking them if they could measure one up and add that dimension to your existing setup -
Usually if you remove the ignition key it will stop

Hi....welcome to the Club
If there are mettalic particles in the oil then this not good news at all.
However, are the shavings from the oil pan where the plug fits in, e.g. has it stripped the threads?

Hi....welcome to the Club
Unfortunately, new vehicle delivery does take time but that doesn't seem that long as some new build orders are taking 6 months onwards from Toyota to European buyers
-
it certainly has a Variable Valve mechanism but not sure of designated engine code
-
Sounds like it is incorrectly wired to the high beam bulbs....you wouldn't be able to switch the standard LED bulbs so you would need two bulbs to make this work
-
Thanks for the update. hopefully that will permanently resolve the issue

eBay would have to be my first port of call for sourcing aftermarket accessories
-
I have found this with some car windscreens where the rake is such that it has quite a large difference in distance from the top to the bottom when viewed and affects the eyes which can make you feel ill.
Also, found it with Hybrid vehicles where the acceleration is linear and does not have any slip on take off which leaves the stomach behind when accelerating from stationary
-
You may be able to get an auxiliary plug switch or splitter on eBay that will do the job
-
There is something in the settings (end of the stalk or on the wheel I believe) but i believe it will reset to an 'on' default every time you switch the ignition back on
-
Sounds strange, unless it is a chemical reaction from something?
-
I think it would be dealer only or maybe eBay would list something once you have a part number or visual identification of the bulb
-
If i were you I would remove the dash cam and see if you disturbed any connections (e.g. in the fuse board)
Sometimes good to go back over anything you added/removed and take it back to standard and once sorted then reinstall

Got my fuel pump replaced a week ago. I had no idea my fuel pump was defective. Now my acceleration if much faster and responsive. It is like the dealer added 100 HP.
Great news! thanks for the feedback

All 2005+ Toyota Tacoma now use a Timing Chain and should last you 200K miles with normal driving, so don't worry about it.
If it is earlier than 2005 and has a cambelt then 60000 miles / 5 years would be the right time to replace it and the waterpump at the same time. -
Hi Eric.....welcome to the Club
May be worth a search through this forum and also the Australian Toyota Owners Club forums as they are hot on doing this sort of modifications.
Good to have you onboard
-
Have you checked for any independent fuse for the High Beam?
Also, it is not unusual for both bulbs to have blown at the same time, worth checking before going too much further into wiring, etc

Hi Susan
Sorry to hear that the engine is terminal.
There are two options here:1. replace engine and try to find an alternative one that may have come from another model (Corolla, etc)
2. rebuild the existing one but this may be quite expensive depending on what items have seized.
Generally, if the oil is run low then the top end of the engine is always usually the first point to suffer so it may only be a seized camshaft.
I think it may be wise to strip off the top of the engine and see what has occurred before committing to spending huge amounts of money on another engine -
Very nice!!!

Hi Scott......welcome to the Club
Getting to be a rare car now.....post up some pics of it if you want?
Good to have you onboard!

Have you considered painting them instead?

Vehicle production is now being compromised by a world shortage of silicon chip supply so you're one of the lucky ones if you have a guaranteed delivery for a new car 🙂
