This is the result of dealer servicing arnold clark Aberdeen Their idea of care is to swamp the brakes in corrosive brake "cleaner" http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps88132323.jpg So I am fixing it myself, they will never see my car again. http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...ps38dd2601.jpg http://i176.photobucket.com/albums/w...psa2f937c5.jpg Is that stamp in your book really worth anything.?

Well............I am going to go for it. I am so disappointed with cars in general, all going with boring front wheel drive. Especially Toyota, killing the MR2, now the 3dr RAV the end of 10 years of Toyota ownership. Suzuki, here I come, cash in hand. Howard

Hi, Probably not the place for this, but, what the hell. After 8 years of contentment with the 3 - 3dr RAV4's, I am looking for an alternative. The new 5 door is TOOO BIG.! The 3dr Suzuki Vitara looks good, has a diff lock too.!, has anyone tried one.? thx Howard

Thanks for the input guys, I don't think its the tracking, but I'll have a look. I am running a bog standard 3 door 4.2 2005 XTR. Must be a rubber bush or something.

Hi Anybody experienced acute tramlining in a Rav.? I have checked all the joints and found no play, tyre pressures are spot on, no sign of uneven tyre wear. What else is there.? Howard

I am losing faith with Toyota. First, they ruin the MR2, then they drop the 3 door RAV, now the 3 door Landcruiser. I will have to look elsewhere for my next transport.

Hi, I was quite fancying a 3 door Landcruiser. I tow my digger about a lot on a plant trailer. The 5 door is too big. I look at the Toyota website and there isn't that option there.? A quick look at Autotrader proves these models exist, are they imports.? thx Howard

Hi, I can't find out anywhere what type of 4wd this car has. Is it Permanent AWD or the poxy FWD and AWD when a wheel spins. thx Howard

There is a switch. it's ON or OFF, the light DOES work.!

Just to mix things up a bit more. I read the manual and it says the lights come on for 15 seconds when the remote is pressed to unlock the doors. It also says that there is a switch next to the light with ON OFF and DOOR positions....NOT ON MINE.! I have a 2005 XTR 3 door with glass sunroof, any clues.? the al wifey complains she dropped the shoppin' in the dark and she can't find her hat when opening the door to get out. You wouldn't believe the earache I am getting here.

Hi, The wifey is complaining again ( not unusual ) She's been borrowing my 2005 4.2 Rav4. because of the snow. The courtesy light doesn't work when the doors open......and you know.....she's right. What's happening.? How do you get it to come on when a dorr is opened.? Like other cars do.! thx Howard

Thanks guys, I hadn't realised this was after market stuff, thought it was Toyota. Don't have my finger on the pulse nowadays. These things aint cheap, but I would appreciate a pointer to a good UK supplier thx Howard

Hi, Excuse my ignorance. I saw on another forum, someone had plugged into a RAV4 a GPS head unit. Seemingly a straight plug in swap. Is this true, where do I get 1 and how much are they.? Mine's a 4.2 2005 3door XTR thx Howard

Mine are HP's 235-60-16 They look a a little wider than the Duelers, maybe it's just the tread has wider grooves. I was also recommended Pirelli Scorpion ST's, but couldn't see them in the flesh, so chickened out of that one. Howard

Wow, you must be a millionaire at 180 quid a pop tyres.!
