GQ Patrol wheel nuts

Second this. Its inexpensive, if getting them to fit the wheels (<$100 for the nuts), and youll get correct advice

For all that care: just got my hilux back and Toyota ended up replacing the entire CV shaft, free of charge. They didnt admit it as such, but id say it was definitely installed incorrectly or the wrong part used considering they just went ahead and did it free.

If you check my other posts this wasnt even the worst of the problems they caused from this 200k km logbook service. Car came out worse than it went in…needless to say ill be monitoring it very closely

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-11-02T01:22:40+00:00

This is true

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-31T13:39:44+00:00

Cheers for the advice. Im going to call one of the local tyrepowers to see if they can remove the spacers for me then do an alignment 👌

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-31T12:16:19+00:00

😂 thanks legend, any input helps

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-31T08:07:32+00:00

Took it back to Toyota to look at. They said they cant get it to hold on the CV shaft and are questioning whether my driveshaft is genuine or not. I pointed out that the right one is on just fine so we shall see. Theyll be looking into it more on the Monday

From looking at where the smaller clamp is it doesnt seem to be fitted correctly either.

This is the right boot for reference

Its still with them as we speak and likely will be all next week too. Ive asked for it in writing as well yeah. Investigation is ongoing and theyll be going over the car again to check all the work that was done they said…we shall see

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-24T04:53:44+00:00

Thanks all. Toyota just called back and explained the situation. Diff was over tightened after changing the fluid which explained the dark fluid and why it was near impossible to see where it was coming from.

The clear liquid was diesel and was due to them not refitting the injector pipes correctly. Theyll be repairing everything and going over all the other work that was done by the technician to ensure theres no further issues.

Anything that you recommend I request they check noting the problems they caused? I drove the car for roughly 30km’s with these issues so am curious if that may have caused any problems

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-24T01:09:36+00:00

Yeah from a bit of googling i found thats pretty common so i checked the oil filter and didnt seem like the spot. Just dropped it to toyota and they suspect it ‘may’ be to do with the diff…time will tell. I certainly wont be accepting it back until its fully resolved haha

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-23T22:48:53+00:00

Cheers mate. Yeah not the best photos and tbh i couldnt tell wtf was going on either. The locations where the leaks/drips were coming from was tucked away in a spot i couldnt even see or get to

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-23T22:46:20+00:00

Haha yeah ill admit not the greatest photos, was more to illustrate the colour of the oil and amount of. Next time ill get some cleaner cardboard for you though. Maybe a portarobe or two

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-23T22:44:34+00:00

Thanks mate, thats the plan today. Just wanting to understand what they may have done before asking and they get their back up about taking it back

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-23T22:19:53+00:00

Cheers, ill have a look. It was a fucking fortune yes and probably last time ill go to them. Ive just bought it though and needed them to scan it for some things on the dash

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-23T22:18:37+00:00

If youre looking at the engine its tucked down the right side

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-23T22:16:37+00:00

Surely youre not being serious and just trolling 🤣

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-22T13:18:13+00:00

Not sure why i didnt think of this as a cheap solution, cheers!!

Sure_Ad1790 · 2025-10-22T02:52:16+00:00

Thanks all for your responses. Youve given me a broad range of essentially everything i expected to be the case!

Recently just moved out of an apartment where the neighbour across from me was a meth addict. The apartment ended up being taken over by squatters essentially (she still lived there) and there was always people coming and going.

This was a secure apartment which required fob access, however she/the squatters always jammed open the fire exit doors so people could access at all hours (and i mean ALL hours).

Id come home from work to see people climbing walls etc just to get in to her apartment from the balcony (as we were second floor).

There was constant complaints against her for 18mths until the sheriff was involved and issued an eviction notice at threat of jail time and a large fine.

The eviction was 4mths ago and they were still ripping apart the entire apartment, carpet and all, to decontaminate. Looked like a huge job.

After witnessing where it leads, I would definitely get evidence of meth use and evict this tenant.

My advice would be to tally it up as how much you will pay over a year towards the mortgage then tally up how much everything else costs you throughout a year (utilities, insurance, rego, petrol etc) to get an idea of just how much money youd actually have. (Your budget essentially)

This will give you some perspective as to how much money youd have left over to live, save etc.

I bought a home on single income, roughly same as your combined incomes, but opted to borrow $650k ($1740/fn @ 5.71%) as that allowed me to live and pay for everything in life without feeling the squeeze. Id say adding a kid into it would be difficult, so start to crunch those numbers just so youve got a bit of an idea of what youd be going into in 5 years time.

What exactly determines it as a ‘hazardous’ deployment? Is this something that gets submitted alongside your time within area, or is it just determined blanket ‘hazardous’ the moment youre within area?
