Re: New Lexus or Used Porsche - which one would you buy?

I would prefer the new Lexus over the used Lexus/Porsche My personal gripe would be knowing that my vehicle is related to a cheaper version from the same umbrella of companies In the case of the new Lexus - I would only see it as a rebadged and facelifted Camry or other Toyota vehicle. In the case o...

Re: Tech Thread - Toyota Hilux...D4D and all older models.

Bosch new formulation brake pads are a disappointment. They switched to this semi metallic like material that leaves a rust colored dust on your rims, on the surface and embedded in the rim in line with the brake disc. They also don't have much life in them after 35000kms; for comparison my original...

Re: 2012 Ford Ranger Heavy t license required?

It's all based on old horse carriage and wagon wheel trucks of the early to mid 20th century, they were the 'heavy' vehicles of the time. It' just boils down to outdated laws and outdated methods of governing again. Basically because a Ranger etc is capable of carrying what a 'heavy' truck from the...

Re: Long Term Cost of Ownership Hybrid/Electric

Doesn't this process add to the wear and tear on the battery pack. In regards to batteries in phones and hybrids/EVs; don't they already provide provisions for you to not fully charge or discharge your battery. Isn't this done by not telling you the exact state of charge. So 100% on your dash or dis...

It was connected to a hydraulic system; remove pads, fill reservoir, and have someone press the brake pedal slowly until it comes out.

Re: Servicing to Keep your vehicle past the warranty

Tidbit of advice If your engine has a timing chain, I recommend synthetic oil. Timing chains are generally harder to replace than belts and while they can last a very long time, It is very dependent on how the engine is serviced. Synthetic oil should keep that chain in service longer before it elong...

Cause people want to sell the products that they have.
