Wowza — check out this incredible Milky Way shot from Hema Alpha Team #009 Isabelle Kranhold & Jeremy Wilson (also known as Laps of Maps on YouTube). This was taken at Rawnsley Park Bush Camp in the Flinders Ranges, South Australia. Thanks, guys, for sending this beauty in 😊

Just finished an A to B Reliabilty Inspection on this Hilux 2WD, used for tip runs and town driving. We uncovered some urgent issues to keep it reliable.

❌️ A coolant leak from the coolant bypass hose (common problem, thankfully Toyota has an upgraded metal replacement part.)
❌️ Oil leak around the spark plug gasket and tappet cover gasket, which will be leaking into the cylinder.
❌️ Significantly low oil level, from the leaking tappet cover gasket
❌️ Very low power steering fluid

‼️ Ignoring these issues could lead to a breakdown or even engine damage!

Other non urgent items we noticed:
▪️Filthy cabin filter which we cleaned
▪️Chassis full of mud, which should be cleaned out.
