  1. Sometimes, vacuum hoses can also split and sensors can fail which can cause issues. An inspection of components attached to the axles and transfer box would give an indication of what may have failed
  2. 4WD does tend to play up if not used and if you can select it then use it off road only to avoid transmission wind-up
  3. Crikey! that's a strange one! The only things that come to mind are if anything has changed recently to have invoked this problem? Routine maintenance or recent repairs for example?
  4. Hi 20054runnerguy .....welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!
  5. Jimgri RevRick Welcome to the Club Good to have you onboard!
  6. My goodness! that sounds awful Its either one of two things, something is trapped underneath the seat and is getting dragged into the mechanism or the mechanism is dry and requires lubricating. Either way, it would necessitate removing the seat to resolve the issue
  7. Waxoyl is probably the best solution for any exposed metal on the chassis
  8. I would check the wiring to the hatch as it comes from the rear of the roof section to where it goes into the hatch. Sometimes the wires break and short circuit, easily repaired and sorted at little cost
  9. What a fantastic truck, quite envious! I would say it is definitely resistance related fault in a sensor or output such as a module. Once it cools down then the resistance returns to normal and no problems. Crankshaft position sensors are renowned for this, I know you said you changed it out but new ones can be bad from the manufacturer? Worth checking everything again and also look at any connections because they can suffer the same issue
  10. Hi....welcome to the Club Quite a few Toyota's to choose from then, one for each of the weekdays 🙂 Great to have you onboard!
  11. That's part of a plastic clip that holds the brake/fuel pipes in position on the chassis rail/floorpan area under the car. There are usually quite a few located on the underside so no chance of the pipes falling off but would be advisable to purchase a new one and fit it into place when you can
  12. I think a liberal application of WaxOyl will solve most of the surface rust issue and also make sure it goes inside the chassis legs through the holes as corrosion usually takes hold from inside Once applied (which is easy but messy) then you can see what else is left to tackle but you would be amazed how it will transform the majority of the truck Be sure to use eye and hand protection and not to smoke as it is flammable and can cause damage to eyes and skin
  13. You could make something out of cardboard to simulate the correct dimensions and then get something made or find something suitable to the size
  14. This can occur when the engine speed drops too low, the voltage regulator drops down to a low charge rate but increases with revs. So thoughts are: voltage regulator faulty, earth leads faulty or corroded and also alternator pulley size is incorrect (got caught out by that one many years ago) Also check the idle speed is correct and if possible rectify an issues that are causing the engine to run at a low speed
  15. Those lights are fine if the ignition is switched on but should go out when the engine is running
  16. Four cylinders in the Camry are fine, the V6 is better for performance but a lot more fuel consumed so occasional long trips is fine and local town work is even better
  17. I have used Valvoline in older engines and tends to suit them better than some of the high performance oils that are suitable from low range to top end cars.
  18. It seems to be across the range from information on other Toyota forum sections (e.g. aygo, etc)
  19. I would imagine the system needs a firmware update to the more modern phone you are trying to pair (dealer or Toyota specialist job)
  20. Battery voltage could be a consideration and also depends on what fuel (petrol or diesel) if diesel then glow plugs could be the cause
  21. Did you ever resolve this issue? I'm sure it was bypassed for a reason by the previous owner, although not sure how a horn stops working unless the button or the horn itself is defective
  22. I am afraid to say that it would more than likely be the whole intake trunking that would need to be replaced I would however, attempt to remove the broken part and introduce the hose back into the hole
  23. Hi Jason Did you manage to resolve this issue in the end or did you go completely mad and burn the car? The only thing I can think of if you haven't already tried it is that a lot of cars will not play video of any sort without the parkbrake being applied?
