Re: F/S Toyota Hilux Surf 1994

Would consider swaps for a cheap runabout, and really wanting to free up cash as I've got enough other vehicles if I pulled one out of storage and this is just ending up being used as my go-to-work transport. I have a tractor for around the property work. The auto is starting to get a bit lazy the o...

Re: uniden handheld radio

Haven't tried a new battery pack but have swapped packs from functioning radios to the dud ones and the problem stays with te radio not the battery. They get locked in RX mode, seems like it might be due to a connection going dry or a component giving up.

Re: uniden handheld radio

I have exactly the same set with exactly the same problem - seems common with them, I googled and tried numerous things, it seems related to the squelch. Haven't heard of anyone have any decent fix without replacing parts, so seems best to replace radios.

1KZ Whistle

My '94 Surf has been steadily developing a whistle. It was quiet and only showed up from about 2500rpm, you could play with it cutting in and out with the revs. Now it is there at lower revs but louder the higher the revs. Quite noticeable from inside and outside the vehicle. When the engine is shut...

Where in the line did they fit it? I suspect mine's got a similar problem, always takes a bit to get fuel up to start but i haven't found any air leak yet. The NRV might do the trick, know a good type and source?
