  1. Hi Debbie133...welcome to the Forums I would probably entrust the installation to an authorised installer as the system would need to be wired correctly to work with the CanBus system. If it is wired incorrectly for the vehicle then it can interfere with the onboard electronics with disastrous effect.
  2. can only think that the radar is contaminated with dirt or dust which may be inhibiting the readings or alternatively, there could be some Radio frequency interference affecting it (if it occurs on the same stretch of road each time?)
  3. I assume if the base plate fittings are the same dimension then they should fit
  4. Sounds like the Coolant Temperature Sensor/ThermoSwitch is faulty or the wiring leading to one of the fans. I would bridge the connectors on the plug going into the sensor and if the fans run with the ignition on then it has to be the sensor at fault
  5. it sounds very similar to the issue I have with my 2007 Honda CRV which has the opposite problem. To make calls, I have to dial the number on the phone, hang up and then press the phone button on the wheel and announce 'redial' for it to then go through the cars' audio system. When an incoming call comes in then I can answer that straightaway through the cars' controls. The reason is that the call has to come through the cars' audio system and I think in your case it is not when you receive a call. You may be able to alter the settings but I don't think that will work. Maybe the only way is to hang up and dial the number so you end up making the call....a complete pain but 2007 was at the start of voice control and phone connectivity and as such the technology is quite primitive by today's standards. Let us know if you do find an alternative method to get it working sensibly.
  6. Can you upload the image so we can see which components you are referring to, thanks
  7. Hi blakehanna welcome to the Club Glad you're enjoying your Camry and feel free to ask any questions on here. Good to have you onboard
  8. Sounds like the indicator relay at fault....maybe worth checking that before condemning the stalk.
  9. Hi Szergei...welcome to the Forum You may find that if you drive on the right hand side of the road the same as the Americans do then there should be no difference whatsoever and I would try to find an alternative garage that can realign your steering/suspension for you
  10. lol...you don't want to know what I call mine...but it does change on an almost daily basis...depending upon how reliable it is on the day
  11. Hi Robbie...welcome to the Forum The Camry is a superb car and should give you plenty of years great service Good to have you onboard
  12. worth checking that the stop lights are functioning properly as that can affect cruise control operation sometimes
  13. Could be more to do with radio transmission rather than radio reception. In the UK, radio transmission has gone digital and a lot of analogue stations are starting to disappear or lose power in transmission
  14. Check vacuum leaks and also run fuel treatment through the engine....would try that first
  15. I would recommend running some fuel treatment through the fuel system/engine and then follow it with an Italian Tune-up....this tends to sort poor idling problems. At least it's a place to start and it costs very little. From there on it would be a case of checking vacuum leaks, engine condition, etc and albeit it's fundamental stuff and shouldn't cost too much in time, its still best to eliminate the obvious things first. let us know how you get on and what you find
  16. Sounds very much like power supply issues....battery connections (corrosion, loose terminals, etc) as each time it is connected/disconnected then it seems to cure it. I would start there and work out from there to see what you find.
  17. I wouldn't take a chance with fitting the wrong seals and maybe best to source them directly from Toyota as they wouldn't be too expensive. Usually, the issue is with selecting the correct type of seal (as in the correct material it is constructed of as it has to be resistant to fuel, etc) so definitely would not recommend buying something that you are not 100% sure is correct for the purpose.
  18. Hi Bo...welcome to the Club Good to have an avid Toyota fan onboard Cheers, Trevor
  19. The complete history of one of the most famous 4x4s of all time The Land Cruiser is Toyota’s longest continually produced model. From its start as a utility vehicle built during a period of economic gloom and uncertainty after the Second World War, it is now a well-equipped, luxurious and highly capable prestige SUV. This book covers all the changes that have taken place over the years to provide a complete history of the Land Cruiser’s extraordinary heritage. This book covers all the changes that have taken place over the years to provide a complete history of the Land Cruiser’s extraordinary heritage and includes the Land Cruiser’s outstanding success in some of the toughest environments of the world, and what it takes to modify it to meet the toughest of conditions. The author follows the extensive range history of the Land Cruiser from its earliest models, through the utility models, right up to the prestigious versions that exist today and draws on his considerable experience of both on-road and off-road testing to provide his informed professional judgement on this extraordinary vehicle. The first chapter deals with the origins of the Land Cruiser and how Military and Economic circumstances lead to the birth of a legend. The second chapter looks at the Land Cruiser range and how it varied over the years to accommodate the commercial and private markets. The third chapter looks at a specific model, the FJ40 and how it has evolved over the years to become one of the best 4WD vehicles ever built. The fourth and final chapter deals with modifying the Land Cruiser for expeditions, safari holidays and world speed record events! All in, this book is a fascinating read for any Land Cruiser enthusiasts and comprehensively covers the models from 1951 to present day. Numerous diagrams, data charts, photos (colour and mono) are used throughout to break up the written content making it easier the reader to pick up and put down as required and digest as much or as little information as desired.

  20. Agreed....replace the O Rings and that should sort it
  21. Hi...welcome to the Forum I think you may be correct about the temperature being so low that it could have affected the temperature sensor reading but otherwise I cannot imagine it is cross-contaminated unless the fuel station got the wrong fuel pumped into their tanks...which does happen. Good luck with sorting it and let us know the outcome. Cheers Trevor
  22. Hi Eugene I'm afraid I don't have the answers you are looking for but maybe if you post the question in the United Kingdom version of the Toyota Owners Club then I'm sure someone may be able to assist you. You will need to sign up as a Basic Member to post in the forum but there is no cost for this, also the sign up procedure is exactly the same. Cheers, Trevor
  23. Hi Samuel.....welcome to the Forum Not sure about the coolant outlet assembly but the turbo hose you would be better getting an aftermarket silicon hose...better and cheaper! Let us know how you get on finding an outlet Cheers, Trevor
