Sounds like you need your wheels balanced. Check tyres for lumps another words tyre trend splitting.

Rocks and small pebbles in leaf spring will make that creaking noise. Get a gurnee and spray your leaf springs around the bushes

Hi Ken,

I take it the songs are in MP3 format? Also are the songs in separate folders Ie a folder for each artist or album?

If you can answer these questions i may be able to supply the answer.

Got 2017 Hilux SR5+ heated seats not working. Driver seat takes bit of time to heat up but passenger seat will work only 1 out of 10 times. If working heat is very low in seats. Went to dealership first time they said nothing wrong. 2nd time I sit with them now they going to investigate if it's genuine or after market. Came from factory fitted as I was advised by dealer. Any idea?

Looking at buying a 2017 Toyota Hilux SR. Is there any known problems/faults that I should be aware of prior to purchase? Any feedback would be much appreciated.

None that I was aware of before buying and have not had any issues to date.

I would check for accident damage, as I don't think there would be any problems with a year old Hilux. Would pay to get a pre end of warranty inspection, just to see if there are any items that can be done under warranty before it expires.

My twin cab ute comes up with 2x4 mode change malfunction visit your dealer any ideas on what it might be and how to reset without visiting dealer?

My 2017 Hilux had the same problem. Research proved that the water sealing underneath the "control box" contained water, that caused one of the motors that operate the 4x4 engagement to break (within 10.000K's). Only spent 2 days in very wet terrain. This should not be happening to an almost new car. end of the month my dealer will start the repair. I was pretty angry, since I was about to cross the Sahara i marocco, now having only 2-wheel drive. I will wait with interest if this will be fixed free of charge.

I guess your dash looks like a Christmas tree now, with alle kinds of lights flashing all the time (mine does). It is no problem to keep driving (my dealer said).

Purchased a hilux sr5 2016 model 6 months ago, before the 1000km check up notice a squeak in the back breaks. At that check up they said that it was an on going problem, no perminate fix however the breaks have gotten worse. They got "fixed" every service since then and for the past month it's been in 2 times as its starting to get frustrating as we have spent nearly 60,000 dollars on this car. Just want to know if anyone has had this issue?

Hi, my hilux has done 4.5k and now has irratic tick over, can be high or low, sometimes cuts out on idle, runs fine when driving, dealer says it's fuel contamination and there is metal swarf in the diesel tank, does this sound correct.?

Depending on what fuel you use, alot of Ute's fuel systems are different. Due to crap fuel we get it isn't designed to handle dirty fuel.

Sounds to me like the injector pump is failing, had the same issue with the px ranger, got fixed under warranty. Metal filings are not in the bowser.

Thanks for the replies, the entire fuel system has now been replaced and it still runs the same, now waiting for a compression test.
