!!!!!! noise

[blacksurf]

can anyone advise me on the odd squeeling noise my 95 3.0l auto is emitting from somewhere beneath the gear sticks. Makes the noise intermittently when hot and cold, moving and at idle. Had a good look under and cant locate it, am a bit stumped. Also had a quote for a new radiator, coming in at a hefty 500 quid fitted. Is this about right or what. Off touring norway in 4 weeks so i need this car to be right. Cheers for any advice.

or Rough Trax 4x4

Price seems steep! Even for Genuine Toyota.

Noise could be a dodgy UJ at the Transfer case end. Other ways, check your gearbox and Transfer case oil levels.

Does it do it in any particular gear?

[blacksurf]

it usually does it in the lower gears, but it is intermittent. can you explain uv joint?? cheers mate.

got my replacement radiator from roughtrax, they do a recon exchange for about 180:00 quid, well packaged, looked like new..they give you a couple of weeks to get yours back to them, so not a rush..fitted mine myself, which to me, is a big deal, cause i aint ever fitted nothing to a car before!! the guys on here gave me all the tips, it went like a dream....drain old rad..undo bottom half of plastic cowling over fan, disconnect the pipes, auto-box cooler and coolant, sticking a bolt in the auto box pipe..then 4 bolts later and the whole thing just lifts out!!..even managed to flush the block and stick a new stat in too.
