how to check glow plugs?

Up until about a week ago my 06 RA diesel would start straight away even on the coldest of mornings. Now first thing in the morning it is really hard to start. It cranks over for about 5 seconds before it finally fires, then for the rest of the day now the engine is warm it starts straight away. To ...

Re: 4WD Noise

If you use the shift on the fly to engage 4wd whilst moving you wont notice any noise. You should only hear a slight clunk when engaging 4wd low and this is normal.

Re: RA 4x4?

I have got an 06 RA diesel 4x4. For me and the family it makes a great tourer and is great in the sand, but if you start to get into fairly rough stuff compared to a hilux you will be short on ground clearance. I end up draging the rear end on everything. Day to day it is easy to live with and is ...

Re: Budscustoms - D Max Sliders

I take it if they fit the dmax they will fit my RA Rodeo. Let me know if this is so and a price would be helpfull. Oh yeah do they clamp to the chassi rail or bolt to brackets that are welded to the rail.



Thanks Matt Gray

So can the two be mixed or do i have to drain the whole system to put more brake fluid in without knowing what is in there. The car was serviced only 5000km ago so the ...

If the booster was shagged wouldnt you just get a really hard pedal with no feel and not a pedal that goes to the floor, since there is no brake fluid in the booster so it cant leak internally or externally and allow the peddl to go to the floor

shock length

Can you fit 50mm raised leaves to the back of a 2006 rodeo with out chainging the shock absorbers straight away or will they be to short at full extension . I know that you can wind the front up with out new shocks just wondering about the back .
