Beautiful old hilux, the old ln106. Lost brakes, large leak at the load porportioning valve, while there inspected the wheel cylinders to find they have also been leaking for a while. All replaced. And stopping nicely.

No hockey for the long weekend. So off to work it is. Catching up on some jobs.

Unfortunately this car was purchased a week ago.

This was an over heating focus, upon inspection found cooling fans not operating. Tested all circuits and power to fans. All showed OK, testing the fan manually, does not operate. Replaced the fan assembly, with a little freind falling out while doing so. Testing proved all OK.

Still a few issues to iron out. Fingers crossed it's a leaking egr and not a failed head gasket from the over heating.

This rav 4, has been sitting for a few years now. A few issues occurred to give a lot of trouble. When I got to the car, we had no communication with the ecu. Upon inspection a water leak had caused it to rust and corrode damaging the board. Replacement ecu and programed, car wants to start but won't fire or run.

Flushed fuel system, now car runs but has a bad misfire. Found the coils missfiring and causing a backfire. New coils and plugs. Car runs smooth but will stall.

Lastly pressurised and smoked the intake system finding a leak in the intake manifold, and once removed, fell apart at the welded seem. New intake. Car is running like new.

Oh what a feeling 😅

This is what my day off looks like 🤣 giving the work van a little love, so I can keep your vehicles safe and on the road.

Required the clutch replaced. Starting to slip, loose drive and a fairly noisy throw out bearing.

Jobs like these, I miss the hoist.

Waterpump replacement. This is the reason the cooling system should always be pressure tested to confirm the repair. After the water pump was replaced, found a small leak at the radiator hose, thankfully fixed with tensioning the hose clamp.

A little bit of heat always helps with coastal cars, especially on exhausts/turbos and manifolds. Could have been a bad day. 🔥

Been slack with the updates lately. But this was a worthy job and a big win today. Got the customer back on the road, the transit van had no boost, this was fue to a broken actuator rod. Replaced all in one, manifold and turbo assembly. And managed to get every nut/bolt/stud out with zero breakages or issues, all due to care and a little heat to help out 🔥

Story of my work life. "Saw another mechanic/workshop for squeaking noises while brakeing. They replaced my brake pads, front/rear and they guessed if a noise was still there it's a suspension issue".

First thing with out even driving or inspecting, can see the rotors are cooked, hot patches, rusting and warped. Well there's the squeak. Tested brake fluid, full of water and very contaminated. Drive it, and also find the struts are soft and tops are knocking.During relair, non of the brake slide pins have been greased, and two callipers seized. (Only recently repaired)

New rotors, front and rear, lubricated slide pins, calipers working freely. Brake fluid flushed out.. New front shocks with strut tops. All fixed and issues solved.
