Bulb change so will monitor. YouTube has information on basic checks when abs light is on. Check fluid, fuse and bulb. So apparently any of these faults call intermittently disable abs. What a world of sense

vharripersad

One of my brake light blown. Not sure why abs light will come on intermittently because of a blown brake bulb. Will replace brake bulb tomorrow and see if abs light never ever comes on again.

My abs light comes on and remains on and abs does not work. If I switch off and back on the light goes off and abs works. Eventually while driving it comes on and remains on. 2012 3.0 4x4 hilux. Unit under warranty. What does this mean?

Why can I not chang oil every 10k on the hilux 3.0d4d. If I use fully synthetic oil like Mobil 1 or delvac, every 10k should be fine instead of 8k or 5k right?

Some people telling me not the bearing as the sound is a hissing, not grabbing or mechanical. Some people say its the shield that may be touching by the brakes Some people say break out the break sensor by the wheel making the noise. Van was jack up and left wheel spin to confirm the bearing is not ...

So far my reviews online show that Kumho is leading, reviews show that the Goodyear and Pirelli performs poor on wet progressively.

vharripersad

Pirelli STR and ATR- $1425 @ Master Serv
Kumho LR78- $1100 @ Laughn
GoodYear Wranger RT- $1300 @ Ramrattan

Which is the best buy here for mostly onroad, looking at ride comfort and traction on wet/dry

vharripersad

LOL guys u r making fun of me, but honestly I have no reason for buying the 4x4, at the time when the model was new I got it for $169,000 on the road so it was a good deal then. I wanted a 2 wheel drive van that was high like the 4x4 but none came in manual which is my preference. Hope this clears i...

I had this reverse sensor problem when I did an install in the frontier, the bumper was chrome though. The sensors got squeezed and short when the bumper expanded with heat. Fix was to drill the holes wider and secure the rim of the holes with silicon because silicon can expand and contract. the sen...
