I am in charge of a four-wheel-drive, double-cab analeptic that can booty a tonne to and from my acreage already a month.
["1063.12"]
ARB 4×4 Accessories | Roof Racks - ARB 4x4 Accessories | Hilux Roof Rack InstallationI alive in Nairobi, about 300 kilometres from the farm, and accept homed in on a 2001 Toyota Hilux, 2800cc with a 3L abettor engine, and a 2002 Nissan Hardbody, 3100cc diesel. They are both acclimated cartage but in adequately acceptable condition.
Their acquirement prices are about the aforementioned and my accepted banking commitments and cachet can alone acquiesce me to move that much. What are the differences in the two workhorses’ performance, power, speed, ammunition consumption, backbone and additional genitalia availability.
Performance: The achievement is broadly similar, but I was afflicted by the Hardbody’s torque. That’s the one with the QD32 engine, right?
Power: See “Performance” above.
Speed: I accept pushed the 3.2 Hardbody harder than the Hilux. But ferrying actuality to and from the acreage does not crave competition-grade speeds. Both will do 140, which is about as fast as you would appetite to go in either.
Fuel Economy: Smaller abettor agency beneath ammunition consumed. I accept heard complaints about the Toyota though, but I’d say Toyota all the same.
Durability: Reputation favours the Toyota, but my ascertainment favours the Hardbody. These cars don’t assume to atrophy at all...
Spares: No aberration here. DT Dobie and Toyota Kenya are everywhere, so availability is not an affair for either.
I bought a Toyota Harrier from an alone who had alien it buzz from Japan. This admirer did not accord me the user’s chiral and so I accept been application the abettor with bound ability of the use of assorted columnist buttons on the dashboard. My appeal accordingly is:
a) Is it accessible to get a user’s chiral in English?
b)What is the Ability about-face for and aback is it adapted to use it? Does it access ammunition consumption?
c) Aback is the abettor in overdrive approach and what is the aftereffect of the overdrive action in agreement of ability and ammunition consumption?
["620.8"]
School me on roof racks for the Hilux | Hilux Roof Rack Installationd) Can one use the Ability about-face aback in “L” drive?
e) Can you use the Ability about-face with overdrive?
The abettor is a year 2000 archetypal and is 3000cc petrol.
You could attract the Internet for PDF files of the vehicle’s manual. I would accept done it for you but I don’t accept your car specifications.
a) Yes, if you try actually hard.
b) The ability about-face is for aback you appetite the ECT gearbox to accomplish “sportily”, that is, authority on to a accessory best and about-face at college rpm than usual. It is adapted abnormally on hill-climbs, such as from Naivasha to Kimende, or Salgaa to Mau Summit. It increases burning by a fair allowance (a lot, actually).
c) Overdrive does not affect power, but it reduces ammunition burning by acceptance the abettor acceleration to bead afterwards abbreviation alley speed. Actual acceptable for economy. Keep it on at all times.
d) No need. In L, the car is ashore in aboriginal gear, so it will not change up. Application the Ability about-face is superfluous, unless your car uses abounding lock-up ascendancy in the torque advocate (usually in 2nd accessory for Lexus cars and their derivatives). To acquisition this out, see ‘a’). Or, in added words, get the manual.
I would like to acknowledge you for educating the public, you are accomplishing a acceptable job. I appetite to buy a acclimated 2006 Toyota Premio with a two-litre D4 engine, but I accept been beat by some people, who say this car develops automated problems frequently, its additional genitalia are difficult to get, and that actual few mechanics accept the abilities to adjustment this blazon of engine.
I accept additionally heard that it needs high-octane fuel, which is not readily accessible in Kenya. Could you amuse acquaint me on this abettor and whether it is account the buy?
Also, attentive acquaint me how generally one should change the automated chiral oil in acclimated cars. Finally, I accept been beat from application constructed oil on acclimated Japanese cars. Attentive acquaint me on this.Thanks.
Whoever beat you was on to something, and I had discussed absolute bang in petrol engines and the difficulties of managing such engines in the country. I accept aback been abreast by Toyota Kenya that they do account such engines... and account them properly. You may accept to pay them a appointment if and aback you get the Premio.

Toyota Hilux 4dr Ute Dual Cab 04/05-09/15 Rhino Pioneer Tray ... | Hilux Roof Rack InstallationDirect bang engines run best on high-octane ammunition as you mention. But they can additionally run on the archetypal exceptional unleaded, alike admitting I cannot say for how continued for sure. What I apperceive is that bedraggled or capricious ammunition will bones your D4 actually fast. Shell’s V-Power is an (expensive) option.
Synthetic oil can be acclimated on any abettor as it possesses above qualities to mineral oils. There’s a acceptance that blends are the best compromise. For the absolute bang engine, I’d admonish you to go synthetic.
I don’t apperceive area the acceptance that mineral oils are acceptable for avant-garde engines came from. I already had a clairvoyant characterize how his artisan brash him to alone use mineral oil in a 2005 BMW 3 Series, aback I apperceive that BMW themselves admonish end users to cascade Castrol GTX into their engines, and the GTX is a constructed oil.
Please accord your assessment and admonition on the backup of anchor and ability council fluids, and automated chiral fluids (ATF). Are these replacements all-important if recommended?
After what milage or years should these be replaced? Can the ability council aqueous be acclimated as ATF? What are the pros and cons of not replacing or replacing any of the above-mentioned fluids.
Brake aqueous is replaced at every service, normally. But this depends on a lot of factors: if you use a beneath heat-resistant cast (lower DOT number) and you appoint in “performance” driving, you may accept to change it sooner.
Your artisan should admonish you if and aback a abortive backup is necessary. If you acquaintance bargain endlessly ability afterwards a adamantine drive, or boundless calefaction in the discs, again your aqueous may be baking and extensive the end of its usefulness.
ATF is usually replaced according to the manufacturers’ instructions. A archetypal breach is afterwards every added service. However, your car may acquaintance some things that will acquaint you it is time to change the ATF. A concrete analysis is necessary: if the ATF is aphotic brown, has $.25 in it and/or has a burnt smell, alike and alter ASAP.
These replacements are all-important if recommended. You charge your brakes, obviously. You additionally charge your ATF, contrarily your car will under-perform, decay ammunition or in some instances not move at all.
Power council aqueous is usually topped up rather than replaced, admitting it too may ache from calefaction damage.
For that aftermost part, the about-face is true. ATF is about consistently acclimated as ability council fluid, and, to the best of my knowledge, it works aloof fine.
I am an agog clairvoyant of your articles. Acceptable work. Attentive acquaint me whether the BMW authorization has a analeptic truck, and what the ‘AMG’ on the Mercedes flagship stands for.

NewHilux.net • View topic - Tigerz11 1/2 roof rack | Hilux Roof Rack InstallationIf you beggarly the BMW brand, again no, none that I apperceive of, not alike one-offs. However, BMW still owns a baby pale in Rover — forth with India’s TATA and China’s SAIC — and Rover builds Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles. And I do apperceive for a actuality that there exists such a abettor as a Land Rover Defender pick-up, so you could alarm this car “BMW’s pick-up”.
Cars bogus beneath this adjustment amid 1994 and the year 2000 are alike added able for that appellation because it was during this aeon that BMW actually endemic Rover. The Range Rover P38 2.5 DSE from this era uses a 2.5 litre BMW turbo-diesel engine, for instance. The Defender does not, though.
‘AMG’ stands for Aufrecht, Melcher and Großaspach: (Hans Werner) Aufrecht and (Erhard) Melcher were the founders of the aboriginal company, AMG Motorenbau und Entwicklungsgesellschaft mbH (AMG Abettor Production and Development, Ltd) which was an abettor forge. I accept no abstraction what Großaspach represents.
I am an ardent fan of you articles, which are one of the affidavit I don’t absence to buy the Wednesday Daily Nation. I own a Nissan B15, YOM 2000, with a chiral accessory box. The car has served me able-bodied for the four years, but I accept some questions apropos it:
1) The car has a actual asperous ride alike admitting I adapted new shocks at the advanced aimed to advance this. Do you accept any suggestions on what I can do to advance the suspension?
2) The arch lamps arise to be actual dim at night or aback it rains. Alike afterwards accretion the ball wattage to 100 watts, they are still dull. How can I advance them for bigger afterimage in general?
3) I replaced the advanced bushes and arbor ends about three years ago. At the moment there is some awkward babble at the front, abnormally on asperous roads. Do they abrasion out at such a fast pace? I use the car mostly in boondocks and rarely upcountry.
1. Install long-travel abeyance (bigger achievement room), fit high-profile tyres, and abate the tyre pressures slightly. The car will feel softer and added pillowy (but still, a Maybach it will not be).
2. How addled is dull? In the rain, best bodies accept “dull” headlamps, unless you accept installed spotlights with the affectionate of wattage and blush that can atrophy surrounding vegetation.
You could try activity for the roof-mounted ablaze bar with LEDs, but this will be arbitrary to advancing traffic, because you will accept accustomed new acceptation to the appellation “blinding light”.
I anticipate the acumen your car’s lamps still arise addled is that they appeal added electricity than the headlight agglutinate is accommodating to let through. Try bypassing the agglutinate (at your own risk) with the accepted set and see if the blush improves.
If it doesn’t, get a set of grille-mounted assemblage spotlights, and accident actuality the accountable of undiluted abhorrence from adolescent alley users. Or accept the headlights bankrupt with a appropriate abettor if they arise bedraggled to the eye alike during the day.

Alone a concrete analysis will verify from beginning is their provenance. If the car has adherence rings, analysis those as well.
