• Toyota Kluger 2011: Benefits of premium fuel?

  Generally you can get better performance and better economy from running the higher octane premium fuels, but of course they cost more to buy, so you have to weigh up the benefits against the cost. I suggest you run a test using regular 91 fuel and then a test using premium and see for yourself.

• Toyota Kluger 2011: Should cruise control apply the brakes?

  The brakes are never applied by the cruise; brake applications are one of the ways the systems disconnect. They use engine braking to control over-speeding, but there is a limit to what it’s able to do. When you reach a steep downhill section of road it’s best to disengage the system and take control yourself, changing down gears as needed to maintain safe control.

• Vibration through Toyota Kluger steering wheel

  The most common cause of this sort of vibration is usually an unbalanced front wheel and tyre, especially if the problem began suddenly. When new tyres are fitted, they are balanced at the tyre shop by adding small weights to the rim to literally balance the wheel and tyre assembly. But these little weights can fall off over time (or if you’ve smacked a kerb or pothole) leading to an unbalanced wheel. At which point, a vibration can set in. And since you’re feeling it through the steering, the suspicion would be that it’s a front wheel at fault.

  A tyre shop should be able to check this for you and rectify the problem for a reasonable cost. If this is not the problem, then you need to start looking deeper into the suspension and possibly even the brakes. But don’t rule out a bent or damaged rim given the parlous state of this country’s roads right now.
