Hi Guys,
I have a Toyota Hilux KZ-TE 3.0 she's a 2001 model. Last night on the way home i heard what sounded like a weed eater going on, this came and went intermittently. I'm to scared to drive her now. Any advice on what it could be.

Re: Advice
Perhaps the radiator fan? Something may have broken off creating an imbalance that is now causing the noise? Does the noise change with the revs of the engine?
The interior fan is working fine?

Welcome Tina! 
Could you try be a bit more specific about the noise, loud / very loud, as Gernot asked does it change pitch with changing engine revs / is it present only when you are moving or stationary as well /where does it sound like it's coming from?

When your road comes to an end ...... you need a HILUX!.
Life is like a jar of Jalapeño peppers ... what you do today, might burn your ass tomorrow.
Don't take life too seriously ..... no-one gets out alive.
It's not about waiting for storms to pass. It's about learning to dance in the rain.
And be yourself ..... everyone else is taken!
