help needed

Hey all, I'm having a real hard time diagnosing this brake light issue. Originally, my tail lights and brake lights were not giving anything. Through screwing with the trailer wiring adapter (small box in the passenger rear quarter panel) I have restored running tail lights to both sides and the...

Howdy everyone 🤠 Since owning my LX470, it’s been a great truck, but for the last 3–4 months I’ve had a clunking noise coming from the rear driver-side that I cannot diagnose and it’s driving me insane. Here’s a link to the noise: Video Link When the noise happens Going over bumps Shutting...

2000 Land Cruiser alternator issue: Just bought a reman Denso from the Toyota dealership and installed over the weekend. When I was taking it out I broke the housing for the plug so the clip has broken off and I pulled on the wires a bit but I didn’t look like I did too much damage. I put...

Hello, When I started my truck this morning I noticed my second start light was on the dash. I looked down and the button was stuck. I think I’m going to end up having to take out the center console but can’t yet due to time. Any way to solve this problem without doing that yet? Is it even bad...

My interior lights stopped working a few weeks ago and I am not sure why, I haven't touched anything in the vehicle in order to make it an issue

Hi All, After getting home from a short 30-40 minute round trip drive today I noticed what sounded like water sizzling on something hot. I looked under and there was a drip from the plastic skid plate. It was a clear liquid with no smell. I took the plastic cover off and there was a bit of...

Hello, I was recently replacing my rear caliper slide pins. I had to take a brake as my calipers were messed up and had to order news ones. Going back to it I don’t remember which hole the slide pin with the rubber piece goes. Does it matter which hole or position it is in? I’m worried it’ll get...

Hello, I need help, I recently bought a 2000 LC and have been chipping away at repairs. I noticed that when the car is sitting it drips coolant and when starting it drips a lot fast. Although its not an alarming amount I still would like to fix it. Another werid thing that happens is when I...

Hey all, I have a knocking sound coming from a new to me 2006 lx470. It continues after driving and warming up, and to a similar volume, so I don't believe it's the exhaust manifold. I've included a video with the sound in it below as well as a brief explanation of the vehicle: 2006 LX 470...

RESOLVED: Hi everyone, I attempted my own oil change on my 2008 LC today, and I'm afraid I've really messed something up. I've changed my own oil dozens of times, but this was my first time doing it on the cruiser. I drained the oil and replaced the plug, removed the oil filter, and then...

2000 Land Cruiser, every time I get semi low on gas around 1/4 tank left ( gas light not close to being on ) the car has a super hard time starting. I can still hear the fuel pump when the battery turns on and the problem only seems to happen around the 1/4 fuel mark. I already looked at the...

Installed a new brake booster and it's making a noise that sounds like a toy chicken when you squeeze it. Anyone have a opinion on what it could be?

Engine Temp gauge rises into the red very quickly while driving(approx in 8min), and even when parked and idle. Recently changed oil with filter as well as flushed the coolant. I can also see the coolant being flushed back into the tank so I don’t think the water pump is the issue. Radiator fan...

Hey everyone, Needed some advise. I am going to look at a 2002 LX 470 with 190k miles, clean record. No problems for $10.5k. I only spoke to the owner briefly on the phone. Obviously need more info to make a decision so what questions should I ask and what should I look out for while checking...
