Car Forum / Australian Car Forums / 4x4 Cars (Australian group) / April 2006Hilux stinks!
Well yesterday I was driving the Lux and I was thinking "sheesh must be a dead animal somewhere!" This morning I could smell it wafting into the house via the bedroom window!!! Took a peak under the bonnet and I have fried a RAT! LOL yuk. It was sitting over the top of the motor thing, I think it is the manifold, very dead, very fried. Further investigation has not shown up anything eaten under there so maybe I was lucky. Anyway, much retching later and the car is RATFREE I hope. Going bush in the morning so that should cook any remnants. Gees the thing a girl has to do when her husband is off working somewhere. He will be impressed LOL. Moral of the story is if you want to fry rats on your manifold make sure you are away for the discovery phase. Kathy. I've heard about people putting V6's and 308's in a Hilux, but a rat motor...! Cool. :) > Well yesterday I was driving the Lux and I was thinking "sheesh must be a > dead animal somewhere!"

You were lucky. :) Mate of mine somehow got a dead animal in his Hilux and, in spite of just about demolishing the dash and every panel he could remove, he couldn't find the cadaver. Took some weeks for it to "dry out" enough to become undetectable. Suspect a reptile of some sort as they are better able to get into "inaccessible" places. >Going bush in the morning so that should cook any remnants.

I went down to the local bottle shop yesterday and took Mucous with me. As I was loading my 4X into the car, the little bugger jumped out and decided to lift his leg on a Rebels bikers Harley. Yes........ we both escaped alive. That was a stressful moment. > Well yesterday I was driving the Lux and I was thinking "sheesh must be a > dead animal somewhere!"

My daughter came home late one night and left for work early. As ths day heated up I noticed a smell coming through the lounge room window. Daughter had hit a roo, dragged it home under the car and reversed away from it. Dead demolished roo right in front of the house. Of course she had to do it in summer. She swore that she didn't know....BULL....she just couldn't face having to bury it. Cheers Jim > Well yesterday I was driving the Lux and I was thinking "sheesh must be a > dead animal somewhere!"

Ha, good story! Was thinking this might be a clutch story - have you ever fried the clutch? Of course, most cars smell like burnt clutch when you work the clutch hard, but I've recently been introduced to the dead animal clutch phenomenon. According to this thread: http://www.outerlimits4x4.com/PHP_Modules/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=68395 a hot clutch in a Hilux can smell like "rotting flesh"! Then, wouldn't you know it, I asked a friend to give my Patrol a quick tow with her Pulsar the other day, and after a bit of heavy pulling the cabin of the Pulsar was quite wretch-worthy!
