Subject : Toyota 2l te Hi, just had the cylinder head reconditioned after the timing belt snapped. The engine sounds great and starts first time but for some reason after having had a good roadtest the vehicle has developed a strange fault. The engine starts straight off the key but it will not rev up more than 1600 rpm. I have checked all vac pipes, electrical connections and the fuel return pipe. The air and fuel filters are new. The vehicle acts as if it is fuel starvation. Are there any other fuel fiters I can check? Oh and there are no fault codes stored in the ecu. thanks Paul Paul Moore - Cheshire, UK - Mon 01st March 2010 06:38pm (GMT)

Subject : Toyota Rav 4 [2004] Recently acquired a 2004 Rav 4 then purchased, on the net, an 'a' bar and a double rear bar. Trouble is the A bar doesn't seem to like this model.[Have a feeling it should be on the later model BUT there are some bright people out there who might have a suggestion or two to make about overcoming the dilemma. My lovely garage man is scratching his head wondering if he can attach it having removed the front bumper, measured up for extended brackets and trying that. The horizontal part of the bar [etched with RAV 4] also has 2 fixing holes. I also bought stainless double bar for the rear. [More bling!] The exhaust tail seems to be the obstacle with that!

Subject : Re : 1989 TOYOTA 4X4 center link support always tear if it is the centre prop shaft support/bearing housing you are talking about then lifting your hilux will deffinatly alter the angle or the prop shaft and that can deffinatly cause, to solve this you must correct the angle input to the centre housing but this all depends on the type of lift kit fitted, has it had just body lift, or is it running extended shackles on the leaf springs? as there are many different ways to jack up a hilux you would have to let me know which way the vehicle was jacked up, it could just be a case of grinding off the centre support and welding a piece of 1 inch box between chassis and support c miller hornsea, east coast, UK - Mon 17th March 2008 02:08pm (GMT)

Subject : Colorado Vibration Started to get a vibration through the car at anything over 2300rpm / 70mph. Would seem to come from the rear of the car and is definitely speed related. If you accelerate up to 80-90mph the vibration is easily felt and heard.If you take it out of gear at that speed, it is still felt/heard. Checked and re-balanced all 4 wheels and tyres (tyres are pretty new), but no difference. It is also felt under my feet on the drivers side if i place my feet flat on the floorpan, but this may be paranoia on my part! LOL. Suggestions?

Subject : RAV4 XTR Hi Advise please. I just picked up my new RAV4 XTR two days later a 40foot flat bed lorry took a corner to sharp and swiped my pride & joy. Damage to the rear off side wing and bumper. I have beento the Toyota repair shop they tell me I need a new bumper and rear panel. What I need the advise about is I can't see how they can replace the rear wing panel. It looks to me like the whole car roof, all the rear is a single pressed part.
