I had to replace my front brakes at 10,500 miles at my own expense.
Toyota tells me it’s because of the hills on the SF Bay peninsula….
even though the bulk of my driving is freeway driving.
Anyone else have this problem?  Any suggestions about escalating my
problem?
Thanks

I am ready to buy a 98 4Runner Limited and am wondering if I should be
waiting for the 99′ model year?  Buying this close to the end of a model
year is tricky (rebates and markdowns).  I am considering making the
purchase in May.  Is there any good reason why I should wait?  Does anyone
know where this information can be found?

Thanks,

It has been two months now and I find the bench seat very
uncomfortable.  When seated for about 40 minutes I start to feel pain
in my right hip and knee.  It is like my right leg is in a twist.  I
am hoping there are others who have experienced the same discomfort
and discovered a remedy.  There might be a cushion out there
especially suited for truck comfort, if so I’d like to hear your
suggestions.

thanks,

Thanks for your help

I have a friend who runs a Toyota Land Cruiser  4L Diesel Non Turbo 1987 UK spec H2 engine.

Problem: Way too slow.

Ok he knows that it’s never going to be a road rocket, but claims that its ridiculously slow for a 4 litre diesel, despite the fact that its a very heavy vehicle.
The biggest prob is the lack of acceleration, you have to hold it screaming through the gears to get it going any speed.

His question’s that he asked me to post on his behalf are :

Are they all slow or is his just a bad example ???
Is there any way to tune them up a bit, he knows all the principles of tuning petrol engines, but not so hot on diesels.

Any response would be much appreciated.

The car won’t do a cold start despite the starter motor turning over.  It
will only start the second time around.  Cold injector, wiring connections,
vacumm lines all are in satisfactory condition.  My dad’s 87 Toyota Camry
sedan has problems with a cold start.  The starter
spins the motor, but it doesn’t start until the next attempt.  Once run,
starting is fine for the rest of the day.  So far, we’ve checked/observed:

Cold start sensor  - within limits (is 3.2 Ohms)
Spark plugs, wires, and distributor cap replaced
Throttle cable/cruise control linkage lubricated; looks ok, not sticking.
General visual inspection under hood ok; wiring and vacuum lines look ok.
Once warm, car runs fine; no rough idle or start problems.

I’m not car wiz, but suggested cleaning fuel injectors; could that be the
problem?

We would apprecate any suggestions.

Thanks!
