i've been noticing road noise at the top left of the drivers side window and finally got a minute to do a closer inspection. looks like there is some kind of seal that is broken. i'm assuming i do this four times as long as i am ordering it. what do i call them? any package deals out there? also...

hey man. thanks for this. on the brake light in the dash - it lights up if rhe sensor in the master cylinder is sensing a low level of brake fluid? and it is either on or off but not supposed to do a "dimly lit bulb" thing? can i please ask how i think of the e brake brake? where is the sensor...

hey man. thanks a ton for this. i did new brake lines brake pads and even calipers (and LSPV) last summer i think. there was ONE line i meant to replace but didn't because i somehow got the wrong part. anyway it's been a bit confusing imagining brake fluid is low but that's one place to start...

open to suggestions particularly on the brake light issue as it looks like i need to get after it but i had a couple questions. is there mechanical or other reason (aside from low oil level of course) why the oil light goes on and off with low oil level? i need to fill it but im just curious if...

thanks man. for some reason i was thinking a spring left the chat. i really appreciate that. fixed it with a spare broken one i had laying around. pics below. only suggestions are to pull the handle to get the old one out so you can get fingers on it and push the "new" one in first before you...

when i lift the latch it doesn't feel like there is much resistance and it doesn't matter which direction i turn the lock. i think one of the latch springs let go. anyone know what the permanent solutions is, a good place to find the part or parts and if there is a temporary solution?

i've got a 97 lx 450 and looking to get tinted windows at done point. from what i understand the two rear seat windows and rear window is bronzed and mirrored from the factory in some way? but the two front windows and windshield are not mirrored or bronzed? either way does anyone have...

sorry. it did it once before. i'm on an FM station. i can try another station. i dont really use AM but could also try that now that you mention it. it's a local station that never cut out before and its doing it like every two or three minutes for like three or four seconds. it's really odd and...

i've been kind of slowly poking around looking to get some kind of off grid situation going and picked up a bunch of stuff from an ex military prepper. anyone mind if i post a bunch of photos and questions as to whether to keep it or move it along but also to get general advice? i've got a...

is there a good reason my radio would periodically cut out and go silent for three or four seconds and then come back on? i'm thinking to pull the radio fuse and try to reset it? any ideas? thanks

hi gents. thanks a lot for all the help as always. yesterday i got in and it barely didn't start and i heard an audible "mechanical" noise - i almost want to say solenoid but i had one of the higher voltage OEM rebuilt starter put in from a toyota website like five years ago - and i see the...

hey. thanks for this. i'm going through the @Dragos80 links. i'm going to throw a couple questions out just because i like learning and it may help. i guess i need to look at the electrical diagram for all this. i do need to check if the CEL light lights up. i was going to check this morning but...

thanks a ton for these.

thanks guys. it's all helpful. terminals are tight. that little ground at the body panel is tight. the battery is relatively new and last time this happened i ran it to batteries plus snd they said the CCA's are fine. also fusible link is fine. i used to have a spare in the glovebox but need to...

i've got an intermittent starting issue and one i am starting to wonder about. the first is occasionally i can get in and turn the key and nothing happens. i can do it again and it will start. i can also do it two or three times and have it start. once i had to call AAA to come and between the...
