  1. I've now been inquisitive enough to get out my copy of the JPNZ owners manual - I absolutely recommend one @Gotenks1 The function of said button is to turn on the automatic function of the four wheel drive. It would seem they operate in 2wd, unless the button is on, and if it detects wheel slip it brings in the 4wd. I've taken photos of the pages from the manual for you.
  2. I am very much not looking at the same photo as you!!! And from his post, and his question, we could be forgiven for reckoning it's found on Mosy's 2013 Vellfire GGH25. Not a Hilux.
  3. Hi John! IF yours is the same as mine, and that ECO word lighting up is on the bottom right of the rev counter, it's just an indicator to say you're driving economically, according to my manual. Cheers, Nev
  4. Hello there newbie! I would second the recommendation for the "JPNZ" owners manual, I bought one before we got ours! Auto Jap Spares were where I got ours, via ebay. In the meanwhile, from that very manual, the description of that button is - "Wide View Front And Side Control", whatever that means as there is no further explanation. But my guess is it's related to the car having the 360 degree camera system, and the button perhaps alters the view shown on the screen. Cheers, Nev
  5. Original or not, if you can read the words, you'll have a chance of working it out! We've not got a manual for our original head unit.
  6. Hi there! Have you tried the Google translate function on your phone? We did on our original head unit, and it was VERY useful at enabling us to use its features! Cheers, Nev
  7. Yep, or they could wriggle, they're like that! On both our cars it made no difference to the premium, bit its on record!
  8. Hi George! No, but I use Hubcentric spacers on my Subaru, they can also do what you're after, giving a different pcd for the wheel, if the right ones are available. Cheers, Nev
  9. Hi Chris! And also do please ensure to use the right grease in the right area, not copper grease anymore! My apologies if you knew this! Cheers, Nev
  10. Hi Kevin! Yes, just run them at what's on the door plate, perhaps plus a psi or two. Which will probably be around 36 to 38 psi. And for almost all cars! It's not a racing car, it really won't make any appreciable difference. There's plenty of other posts here, and everywhere for that matter, discussing the pros and cons of a bit more pressure in them. Less rolling resistance, less grip to the road etc etc. But a little bit won't hurt! Cheers, Nev
  11. Hi Tony! How did you go on with sourcing a new battery? Cheers, Nev
  12. Hi Craig! My personal use experience, Apec, Pagid, or obviously originals, Toyota! Cheers, Nev
  13. Hi Neil! Yes, ebay. I got the opposite side to that a few months ago, due to water ingress in my case. round figures £90.00 It doesn't matter if it's a black one, the plastic pops out to swap over! Do look VERY closely at the pictures, the first one I received had a ruddy hole in the back!! Returned it OK, as I had mentioned in the messages why I wanted it. Cheers, Nev
  14. Hi Ionut! Nice work there! Apparently it's similar steps to change the rear plugs on mine,. Initially seems like it's a hassle to take the scuttle off, but if it's like our previous one, Grand Voyager V6, the job's not going to happen if you don't!! Cheers, Nev
  15. Hi there! That is the inverter pump for a Hybrid. Do you have the Hybrid model? Your info says you have the standard petrol, so that pump obviously won't fit. No matter how hard you try! And this is the wrong section of the forum for a Hybrid.... Cheers, Nev
