Its a nice SUV overall. Good for road and ok for off road. 4.0 is better than 2.7 in offroad. Road comfort. reliability and resale is very good with Toyota badge.
i went to rashidiyah once and there were 2 garages upmost quality service i really cant recall the name but they have the biggest compound there behind the petrol station.
Go to technical Garage in al quoz. Turn left on SZR just before MOE exit and keep driving down staright and towards the end much before al khail rd look on ur left. They are very good.
Call divya auto spare parts in shj. 06-5395934,06-5326782
and check the availability, they are best in pricing for original discounted spare parts. They also have shop in Dubai, but dont know their number, call in shj and get Dubai branch number.
Jump start and let it idle for 10 mins or 20 mins, then switch off and start.
If it starts it was battery and now its fine, dont worry do same test after 2 hrs.
If it doesnt then that means battery is dead and beyond recharging and car was running on alternator only.
If alternator is dead, then in first instance car will not run for 20 mins and switch off of its own as soon as battery power run out.
Coolant leak is very very dangerous bro, if it deplets too much overtime your car will overheat.
Start checking radiator bottle first, then follow the coolant thick hoses and see if can trace some leak. Then reach to radiator and check it nicely from top and bottom and then follow radiator big black thick hose to engine and see if its leaking from clamp (usuall spot).
King coil is the best springs. They have regular and heavy duty for offroad too. Choose whichever you like n need.
In offroad, it will be lifted and slightly stiffer than normal and will compromise road comfort by atleast 30%. But in offroad you can fly your LC in dunes.
Its usual in high mileage engine, you need to rebuild or atleast re condition the engine. Good luck, as its a very big and expensive job of opening full engine out.
Im sure its not easy thats why nobody replied.
And im also sure by now u must have changed it by professional. If you did it, please post the pics or instruction.
what is the correlation of cleaning outside the engine and engine giving some problem.
You can get it clean with water or steam as detailed as u like for your satisfaction and better car keeping. However it wont make any difference in car engine not doing well.
If you come accross some car engine cleaning additive or technique in fuel station. DO NOT EVER USE THEM on older car as it will clean all the carbon from inside the engine and make engine vibrate badly while driving.
Show it to proper mechanic or post here what exact problem u are referring from engine, so that i can help more.
How do u know something cracked. Just by hearing while u drove on rocks.
Green color is coolant that means either radiator got cracked due to impact. Or some coolant line leaking (separate issue than cracking noise) Either small but serious job.
Get it proper diagnose and fix asap, dont ignore and drive.
