How to replace reversing camera
https://amzn.eu/d/eK6xo3m I replaced mine with this, works well connected to a pioneer head unit, Had to make a diy mount, fitted through the original gap ok. Such an improvement on the original only issue the reverse light reflects on it quite a bit when dark no issues in daylight, it is a led bulb maybe a standard type bulb won't be so bad.

Very happy with mine, was unsure at first about ordering one looking at the online pictures, shipping costs the same as the cost of the protector. Mine was £82.24 delivered.

Reversing light blinding camera
As Smurf and Rojie mentioned, mine does this after replacing the the reversing lamp bulb to led, replaced the camera now as well it wasn't great, still the same, May try and put some sort of shade around the camera but have too see how much of the vision it may loose, lighter days are coming so not too bothered at the moment.

Dot3 brake fluid
Thanks Guys. The Vellfire is gen2 2011, couple of responses from toyota: ‐----------- Thanks for your message. We no longer offer Dot 3 brake fluid. Dot 4 is the improved version an is fully interchangeable. Dot 4 is fully compatible with DOT 2 and 3 and will not cause any issues. To prevent reduced braking performance the brake fluid should be replaced every 2 -3 years.

Dot3 brake fluid
I'm looking to change the brake fluid, cap says dot3 but I can't find any toyota branded dot3, can dot4 or dot5.1 be used, has dot3 been used because of the Japanese climate just briefly reading about it dot3 has a longer life, lower boiling point, doesn't absorb as much moisture. Any thoughts. thanks

Recently changed my tyres to xl, feels so much better for me now, had previously Autogreen tyres (not xl), usually only me in the car 80% of the time, we also tow a caravan , maybe my personal preference but would always go for the xl.
