To rule it out try with a jumper att to another batt. but it does start nice and quick on your vid.

Maybe its normal on an 250? Need another owner to read post.

Computer is probably bypassing power to send current to starter.

Is batt turning over quickly?

When I remove ball joints ( a couple of ways ) but with the tool above when under tension hit mating part with a large hammer and it should pop open without bits flying everywhere.

Also be careful with the pressure on the nut as you can distort it making removal difficult.

I recently changed my 1999 Prado over from 4.1 (10/41) to 3.72 (11/41) and love it.  Had to change the tailshaft yoke as well

Hope you changed both diffs 😱

IS350 What series is yours 2 or 3?

Wont be the 1st. Glad its sorted.

But to answer your question both are the same size.

What is the rotor off?

I have rotors that look the same but are standard is350 (2011) size.

If the shock is faulty (sure looks like it ) the coil will try to fully extend (as far as the shock lets it) and compress with nothing to dampen it down and can make all sorts of noises from related components.

The shocks may of already been pretty close to replacement time and the extra heat generated by the load if has sped up the top seal failure thereby loosing its oil and making it useless.

Bear in mind the coil spring takes the loads not the shocks, they only dampen the oscillations and help to control the spring.

Does the car measure the same on both side, bottom of rim lip to edge of guard? This is just to ensure a coil or seat hasnt also been damaged or over stressed.

Mine only smells when driven hard and I slow to a stop. 

BP doesnt have as bad a smell. I just live with it. Lots of Toyotas have the same issue.

What makes you think they are damaged?

Normally overloading just puts the springs on the bump stops before the shocks bottom out.

Shouldnt affect the shocks at all.

If they are leaking thats a different matter.

@Pcavzzz....Really, car warms up in the sun, thanks for the help 😣

If you read my post you would of seen that the temp sensor reading was stuck at a lower reading.

Fixed now. Removed and refitted fixed it.

I have them on my IS350 F Sport.

Had for 2 years now. Excellent tyre imo.

Set 0 toe on front , no uneven wear, still good turn in.

Air bags in the side over window and pillar.

There will be a label on OEM seat stating Airbag IF fitted and every other place they may be.

Before I pull mine out ...

Has anyone done it or is it possible to swap over the left and right seat backs and/or bottom pads?

My left seat is like brand new and holds me tighter so contemplating swapping over what I can IF its feasible and worth the effort.

2 adj, one on top, other in hole under top of guard.

Do not turn to much, also turn car on and off to check auto levellers work before each adj.

Edit: This is for series 2

Some pre 2008 need dvd + , post that date some need dvd -

Just burn the iso using img burn at no more than 4 times. Takes an hour or so.

There is a change over from dvd to SD card somewhere after 2012 I think. Those versions use NaviExtras Primo BUT are locked.

If they are DVD based this download should work  to update maps to a couple of years ago.

OK thanks. Just coincidence 😞

Will try to find out whats wrong.

For those interested I just paid $456 for 105k service (97K on vehicle, (dictated by time, IS350 F Sport 12/2011)

Cost quoted $600 inc filters etc.

Paid $456. as I supplied the oil (this time around Nulon synthetic)

Drive there outside temp shown increasing from 31 to 34c.

Drive home outside temp shown as 28c. Didn't move from workshop to home...  AT least 38c at the time, hotter now.

Question is can they disturb to outside temp sensor during a service?

I couldn't find where it is 😞  Will call if it can be compromised.

Thanks Baz

Fits what models?

OEM navi model or non navi model

What prices?

Cheers

Easy way to tell is if there are headlight washer covers on top of the bumper directly in line with the lights then you have hid's

If not then you just need generic halogens.

These people 'used' to fix them

Ill start with IS350 versus IS350 F-sport. Please keep thread for videos only and chat to a minimum 😁 so thread doesn't loose its intent.

ISF one's in link below.

Its great to add a few notes but please try to keep to intent of this thread, or it may go off track too easily and end up being mainly chat.. 😁
