Hilux 4x4 Forum

I have by mistake poured in 8.5 litres of oil when I serviced my Hilux yesterday,should have been 6.1 litres. Made it from Randburg to Montana in Pretoria, then all of a sudden no power, sounds like its running on only 2 cylinders. Called a guy at Toyota, he reckons the crankshaft broke. Will this b...

Is jou brandstof verbruik nie meer met die groter bande nie?

Thanx Guys!

Will keep an eye on them! Hope I'm one of those that'll get the 100 000km

Asking for an unbiased opinion on makes of tyres is like asking a ‘Blou Bul’ supporter what he thinks the ‘Western Cape’ team. A Bridgestone man will slate any other make as vastly inferior but may have more lenient comments on Michelin. The bottom line is whether what you will consider replacing t...

Hi Guys Recently shopped for new tyres, 245/75/15. On average I was quoted between R1450 to R2100 per tyre. I then found the Dunlop Trackgrip A/T at Rivonia Tyres for R1150 inc VAT each. I have put them on and so far I am happy. Very little road noise, they seem to look "rugged". The deale...

Would now love to know if I can fit a nudge bar or replacement bumper - problem is which one. I had the original nudge bar powder coated and now it does not fir anymore. Some suppliers reckon the Bull Nose nudge bar and the Bullbar from BTM will not fit now. I don't want to buy one that won't fit. :...

I recently asked if would be possible here on the forum to upgrade my 2001 Hilux to the Bullnose shape. Yes, it is. I went all the way and got the full Bull Nose look. Parts used: 1. Cradle 2. Corner / indicator lamps 3. Bonnet 4. Upper Bumper 5. Lower Bumper 6. Head Lights 7. Grille & Toyota Ba...

I saw a nudge bar at Gemini Parts in Jhb yesterday (brand new) for R1999.00. Google them to find their number, you can get your courier to collect. If you want to upgrade your fog lamps in the bumper, I would recommend you install a 35W HID kit replacing your existing halogen globes, the 55W is just...

Absolutely JJ Botes!!

Interesting.... will have to keep this "freak" incident in mind for my vehicles. Did they charge you an arm and a leg for all that labour? -F_D Yes - What did this exercise cost you at the end of the day?!? Sjoe.Baie bly vir jou part.Sal liewers nie vra wat dit gekos het nie Het maar beho...

nou wil ek nie te veel se nie maar waar het jy jou geduld ge-erf ek so dit lankal verloor het :crazy: :crazy: :crazy: :lol: Jong, was maar net te dankbaar dat die ouens bereid was om my te help. Die ander twee vorige handelaars het sommer vinnig opgegee. Wou hom inruil maar het vroeg in 2011 R46 00...

Great pleasure to inform you all that Toyota eventually fixed my Hilux after being in their workshop for 14 months! After being at 2 other Toyota dealerships previously for 6 months. My poor Hilux never used since June 2011. It had an electrical problem, would start perfectly and then cut out after ...

Replaced our 2007 Benz Viano' s battery this morning for the 1st time. Our 2006 Benz A180cdi still running with its original battery. Saw last week a delivery from Battery Centre delivering batteries to a Toyota dealership, no stickers - the parts department have rolls of Toyota stickers they stick ...

Thank you Hoppy!! I have ordered the fenders too, will cancel them!

Picking up the cradle, bonnet, grille, light amd grille holders, bumper and valance too. Will post some before and after pics ; )

Hi Gents Not sure if this was ever asked before or if there was a thread already somewhere on the forum? Some panelbeaters reckon it can be done, and some reckon the "Bull Nose" is wider and even if you replace the cradle it will not fit the chassis. Did anyone previously attempt the upgra...

Lyk baie goed Johan

Het jou gesê Pieter sal 'n goeie job doen!

Sodra Toyota my Hilux aan die gang kry, stuur ek hom ook vir Pieter!

Hi Guys Me again. Since 22 May the Hilux is at Imperial Toyota Strijdom Park in Randburg. For those of you who missed my previous post, the Hilux starts perfectly, drive for a while, then the orange engine light on the cluster comes on and the engine cuts out. Then after about 30 minutes it starts a...

Had some time last week and brought the Hilux home, on the way from Boksburg to Randburg the ride was smooth up to 3km from home. Engine light came on and I was stuck on the freeway :surrender: Towed it straight to Imperial Toyota in Strijdom Park. They checked for errors, they found 2, error 14 and...

The Hilux I bought has a problem, sometimes when driving the engine just cuts out and then all is dead for about 30 minutes. After 30 minutes it starts as if nothing was wrong. The seller told me the Hilux has a Steve's Auto Clinic chip in and indicated that might be the causing the problem. He had ...

Yes, Piet. That's me, also on the Cruiser forum. Looking forward to visit you later this year when I have a holiday on the West Coast.

After selling our (family car) Hilux D/C 3 D4D 4x4 2 years ago, :cry: I missed having a Hilux soooo much that I just bought a 2002 Hilux 2.7 single cab. Even though it's old, I still have the feeling that I have a Hilux again. I stay in the Jhb, have a Land Cruiser Pickup, amazing vehicle - a bit to...
