This is a 2004 vehicle. I was not aware that the top sections which are black were actually stop lights. I jumped in by checking the bulbs etc....
Shocked to discover that it was more than just a failed bulb when the stop light in the NS rear light cluster failed to light up. After drawing a...
Thanks for replies. The UK version does have disc brakes at the rear along with drum brakes just for parking brake. Having had a look at the pads...
Might be worth looking at the posts following my question dated Feb 18 2017: 'Front brakes stuck after fitting new pads'. Many are about the...
Hello again. You might remember that I had huge problems when I replaced the front pads on my 2004 Prius last year? Basically, the 'phenol'...
Messed that up!
A result at last! After the supplier of the new pistons assured me that they were the correct part, I stripped the O/S caliper and the new piston...
I would not wish to mislead anyone, but I am clearly way out on any difference between the diameter of the bore and piston. I am unable to find...
The UK is still using miles, although the metric system was generally adopted in the early 1970s. The car has been in constant use albeit for...

Thanks for the pointer. Having already removed the blue relays and pumped the brakes, I only had to open up the bleed nipples (as above) to see...
No problem with the caliper pins/slides - very easy to push in and out. Pistons also seem to be moving as well as any other piston which I have...
I believe mine is Gen 2 (Dec 2004). I have tried removing the 2 blue relays and applying the brake 30 odd times, but the brakes are still firmly...
Thanks for the link and suggestion. I will give it a go. Very easy to spend a lot of money just replacing parts in the hope that it fixes the...
By the way, thanks ChapmanF for the link regarding piston return. Never heard of it before and very interesting. Could well be the reason for...
Thanks for all your quick input. I doubt that it is a problem with the fluid, as it was changed by a Toyota dealer about 2 years ago. Nonetheless,...
Hoping you guys might be able to help me move this 2004 Prius with 45k on the clock. Nearside (Offside on your side of the pond) front pads had...
