Don't worry about the time. Always a pleasure to watch your videos. And what a nice guy Oliver was.

[@gonecywers]

Great video guys. I'm very happy about the support that you two gentlemen are getting from your subscribers, it is well deserved. However, in this video, you seemed a bit excited, but also exasperated from the sheer volume of inquiries you get about content. Don't worry about it, just do what you do best and it will all sort itself out. Your channel has a wonderful chemistry about it, and you and Chris are the main ingredients in that recipe, Don't let people overwhelm you into changing anything, or worse, rushing things just to accommodate them. Please make sure to take care of yourselves, and the channel will take care of itself.

Great video as ever lads. Thanks again for taking the time out to call me. True gentleman 👍👍

[@Holdeenio]

One quick tip on the EGR - check if the physical mechanism is still in place or if it has been blanked off. It’s common to just disable them electronically as part of an aftermarket remap. If this is the case you won’t get a EML from flashing back to stock, it’ll just start functioning again. 💡if it has been “blanked off” you should be able to see this and you will need to fit a replacement to get it back to standard.

[@craigelmer8566]

Car had been remapped for 3 years by its previous owner. Was chasing an overboost fault that occasionally flashed up. 2 garages said turbo veins. Still had the fault. I went back to stock software to rule the map out. Turned out it WAS the map despite everyone saying the map was OK. Good work chaps,

[@marksmithard7801]

Great video, I have an identical truck. Owned it for 13 years. A 3 litre mk6 auto is the one everyone wants, check the chassis where the fuel tank cross member goes, as they rot. Mines a minter, but that rail was rotton as a pear, so may need a welder on it. That truck with low mileage is 8k all day long. I was offered more than that px on mine, and got my new Hilux due delivery in November. Been waiting a year for it

[@tomtodhunter1776]

Very tidy for a 13 year old pick up, but as Clarkson and co proved they're almost indestructible. Great work at filming and getting the video out in one day too. Top work. 👍

[@richardjones5255]

That is a nice one, and it appears a lovely, honest seller. I did slightly worry when you were late, fearing that something had caused a real problem. In-built, satnavs are rather more miss than hit, my wife's 2012 would not update and though last year, had my 2016 updated, yet when I used a new motorway junction the inbuilt satnav had me driving across a field, no surprise there! We use Waze, with my wife as navigation manager, always up-to-date, it speaks instructions, and tells us about problems like building congestion and how to avoid a problem. Glad Chris had a well-earned break, he looks refreshed.

[@markallen7443]

Chris definitely looks chilled,like a man back fresh from a break🤣🤣

[@geebee6737]

I did 79,000 miles in just 10 months in a Hilux back in the 80's and it never missed a heartbeat , incredible vehicles back then. Back to reality and EGR's....had the emissions fix and a new EGR and my car works fine doing regular 700/800 miles weekend trips with no issues. I believe the new valves are coated and reject soot that caused the original problem......reckon my garage told the truth as after 7 years the dirty diesel still putting on the miles. Keep up the good work guys but don't apologise for taking a short break 👍

[@peterforrest5181]

I've run my car with the EGR removed for years. Gives a bit more power and the car sails through the MOT emission tests. As modifications go, it's pretty small beer.

[@richardbower7171]

Plug in the topdon obd reader and record and monitor the EGR VALVE with the live feed. My was a stick valve and cleaned it with foam oven cleaning spray.

[@alanc1406]

Those EGR valves cause a sticky tar and carbon to build up inside air intake ports, valves and airbox which restricts airflow to support complete combustion and reduces engine life.

[@bumpkinrocks]

I'd certainly more than happy with it blanked and remapped. Emissions bullocks!

[@jonhugill7373]

Worth putting the scanner on it now, could show fault as pending

[@jonbell2305]

Just to mention about EGR valves getting blocked. The main reason for this is the EGR cooler normal gets blocked first then this blocks the valve which puts the engine management light on. Just cleaning the valve and not the cooler as well won't really help the problem it just stops the light coming on. It just ends up blocking the DPF and exhaust in time and sending the ecu nuts. I have found putting Red X diesel treatment in normally helps it get clear if it's not to clogged up. And take it for a hard drive for a bit. Saves hundreds on new parts.

[@palmtraveller2177]

I am sure I saw Chris's post well before 17:00 hrs, went off to do something else. It just shows the quality of Toyota generally that truck looks like a lot lower miles. A nice coulor also and in very good shape. I think I would change the part if it is needed as I am sure you two will do before you sell it. Maybe you will keep it but let's see. Chris is entitled to some time off now and again, 'all work and no play makes Jack a dull boy' is a very good saying to remember. The man works like a machine and although we appreciate his hard work he does need a rest once in a while. Thanks again Rob and Chris for another 'day in the life ' of SRUK, excellent. 👍👍

Hey both, what a great quickish flip, it really is in nice condition. I loved the explanation at the end too, so honest and true, to me this sets you aside from all other channels. I think many of us are quite jealous of your brilliant business model and love to see and hear what you do & how. As for your videos being so called “late” uploading I think it’s nothing to be worried about, your true followers will understand that you need to take time to recharge, so please don’t be concerned and ensure you do have proper Holidays, we will just have to cope, and we will! Thanks as always. Dave.

[@amphetamineblue4172]

I used to replace the EGR valve on my X-type ever year. Was a quick and cheap job to do. EGRs always seem to block on large engine diesels, particularly if they aren't used for long journeys. No real need to delete them though

[@ralphfell2119]

A lot of diesels suffer from this problem. I am running a Mercedes B class 200 CDI and at around 105 thousand miles the engine management light came on and it turned out to be the whole assembly was solid with carbon and also prevented the turbo operating, so I was driving a slug for a while until we tracked the problem down, so may I suggest that you strip not only the EGR valve off bur also the housing that the valve is located in as this in my case was solid with carbon! I hope access to yours is easier than mine as it was a nightmare to access but well worth the trouble. Fit a new EGR valve it's well worth the cost!!

[@eddieMurphy11111]

these day you see so many Facebook pages on the likes of a freelander there are people advising people to do a EGR delete and then expecting the mots to be passed and some do but come on as you say it is there for a reason. that tyre could be down to a wishbone on that side and engine management light could be down to the more power wanted but the fuel could not keep up with the demand so could be blocked filter or fuel pump . thanks for the video

[@centralian1]

Just a short note to say that at the age of this vehicle and mileage you should definitely check the the fuel injector value's as the D-4D 1KD-FTV engine is notorious for failing injectors. I have this engine in my Toyota Prado and it needs a new set of injectors around every 150000 km's. If this still has it's original injectors then they will be the non DLC coated spindles. A dead give away for the injectors is how bad the engine rattles on cold start up in the morning. The latest injectors last longer than the original OEM ones. Also if it still has the original short body Suction Control Valve that needs to be thrown and replaced with the new long body version. Also when it comes to air conditioning the first place to look is the aluminium tube to the compressor, it is very common for this tube to suffer a wear hole from cabling being routed wrongly. I forgot to mention that you will probably find that the MAP filter needs replacing as they are usually cracked by the time they reach the mileage of this car.

[@derredriver]

If its the same as a prado there's two rubber stops under the bonnet that are threaded and you can winde them up to take the slack out of the bonnet good luck with the engine light had a land cruiser the egr was nearly fully b locked mechanic said he never seen one as bad never threw a light.

[@carlbentham5784]

If the egr has had a blanking plate fitted it might not put the light on, it depends where it’s been blanked on some cars, for example on the vivaro 2.0 engines you can blank the pipe that comes from the exhaust to the egr, the valve still opens and closes but doesn’t recirculate the gasses, I’d take the blank plate out and see if it comes on then

[@sruk]

No plate fitted

[@adampyro834]

i would agree with you but it sounds more like it was just mapped out with the cleaned EGR left in place. i hear a lot of people are doing this way now with the change in laws regarding emissions modifications. mapping it out just means the ECU wont try to use it and also wont throw codes. as far as i know there is almost no way to tell from an inspection if its just been mapped out, emissions check might show its not in use but not that its mapped out... someone might correct me on that, im not 100% on that part

[@whitemonkey7932]

@@adampyro834 I've only ever blocked them off and left them in software....never been an issue.

[@MattyEngland]

@@adampyro834 Very unlikely even the emissions test would notice it, DPFs have a huge effect on emissions, but the EGR hardly does anything in terms of a percentage.

[@WilliamStevens007]

They run far better deleted anyway. If it was mine I would do the DPF delete too.

[@Sthilboy56]

I have an 04 hilux and it’s still going fine 👍

[@adampyro834]

I've wanted a pickup for so long... i am 39 now and i think the earliest i can remember wanting one is when i first watched the film "Back to the future" i admit i dont like black, shows scratches and bloody hot when left in sunlight but if i could buy this one or similar i would. having said that i dont work in any sort of job that requires a pickup i would just love it for what it is, storage space and towing ability. i do grump a bit at people i see on facebook groups that have EGR and/or DPF issues especially when they say they dont do much motorway journeys... im like what the heck you got a diesel for then? so my bet which id almost put money on... new EGR valve maybe a clean/treatment as well and as long as it does 20 mins high speed on motorways per week, it wont have any further issues for a while. only thing i can think that would make that wrong is something like burning oil or some other bad running issue creating carbon/soot.
