had an air con compressor replaced at bout 15,000km , drink holder replaced. injector, airbad light was coming on. and brake master cylinder replaced. cars done 66000, 07 diesel.

I had mine in the other day for a water pump replacement under warrenty

Transfer case seal????
Was it a leak or "sweat" as toyota are telling me?
They are kinda saying to me that because its not dripping its not a leak, well if others are done on warranty then mine will be too.
It has spread out from the seal about 40mm each side, i don' t know technically which seal but its on the transfer case i know that.
Anyway my list
Key
Rear wheel bearings
Bonnet recall
Tail shaft touch up(see Klunk thread in general)
Hopefully transfer case seal

Just had my gear stick replaced under warranty. The top sleeve had dropped down (a bush was broken or something) so I was driving a sports hilux for a while as the whole stick was several inches shorter than usual. Took them about 4 months to replace it. Apparently there have been a number of problems with them and they couldn't get any in while Japan was sorting out what to do. I love the stories they tell.

southernland,

I love the stories they tell..................

ha...ha.... i like that part..............

In Novemember 2009 after a 25,00 km trip over 6 months not a problem until I got home, leaking rear main seal. Recently the rear LHS axle bearing went and the also replaced the diff pinion bearing.

Hilux D4-D Auto, August 07 now at 76000 km

Fuel lid spring (was missing when I got the truck)
Power Window bracket, front/left
One CV boot plus one front axle
2x u-joint at the rear differential

A wind noise? Vibration at 100km/hr from the lower left hand side you say? Hmm, breakfast may be wreaking havock? Oh, the windscreen...

I see a couple of axle bearing replacements in this thread. Roy's Lux is a 2008 model and they upgraded the axle bearings since to a dual bearing setup. Must have been plenty more of these replacements hence the upgrade in '09' onwards i think it is. *older Lux owners check your axle bearings before embarking on anything demanding

08 d/c sr5 40000k

gear stick replace
2 x gas struts on hard cover ( toyota )
radio

and has bad diesel smoke ( can see it all over bumper ) and thay said its all good

Just had the front passenger seat base replaced under warranty.

Apparently it wasn't engaging in the seat rails properly. The seat had excessive movement & noisy as, when going over bumps. All good now, till next time.

I had the drivers side front flare fixed due to broken bracket, had to pay for it as they said its and aftermarket option and not covered by warranty. Its a 2007 SR5
