Thanks for the prompt interest StarCruiser. I use an air deflector on the rear of my 200, as I used to do on my previous Pajero which had positive results. I have found that the best "dash shown" results for fuel consumption, and power engine less labour, and easy travelling, is at 100km/hr in...

Hi Folks Can anyone please point me to where I can find the above curves. I want to use these as best positions for comfort and fuel economy (power/weight ratio). Also, has anybody any ideas on best gear/revs/speed/power-weight ratio/torque converter no slip range, for towing a large 3T...

Thanks Bud, and for your interest and ideas on what the problem could have been. Regards Hugo

Oops not sure what happened with reposting my previous reply. Bob, on both occasions you have mentioned the noise happens whilst towing a caravan. If possible, try the same piece of noisy road without the caravan, before you start further investigation. It may possibly be due to increased load...

OK Thanks for the info. At no stage have they mentioned anything regarding payment, as it was brought to their attention almost immediately after purchase (purchase date Sep 2017 new), and falls under any, and all warranties. The bull bar appears to be genuine Toyota as requested and paid for...

Thanks Bud, I will follow it up with them. Regards

Thanks for your reply ctiley. The Cruiser goes back into the agents tomorrow to try and fix the problem - this time they intend taking off the bullbar/checking mounting, as they suspect there might be something there causing the problem. They have previously checked the suspension, and said all...

Can anybody help, as Toyota Aus apparently doesn't have an answer. My Landcruiser has a clunking/hit noise and feel under my heels when driving turning left, that happens at slow speeds when there is a change in camber/direction/elevation from the present direction to one to the left, either...

Hi RGraham I have heard of a way by placing a rocker switch on the wire that senses movement of the vehicle. This is done before the wire enters the multimedia system, which will then "trick" the nav system to thinking you are stopped. this worked well on my previous vehicle Pajero, but I...
