Toyota Problems

You could perhaps shield the speedo to reduce the glare and then use the headlights, which would bring on the lighting on the speedo.

Toyota is keeping the information on specs and prices close to its chest until the launch, which is expected in the first half of 2017.

The Camry is on run-out at the moment, which suggests there's an update coming soon. Next month would be on the cards. I wouldn't expect any big changes with it, after all Toyota is about to end local production in 2017. Waiting for the update depends on your needs, you might prefer the newer model, which will have a better resale when you sell than the current car, but Toyota has some deals on the outgoing model and it might be advantageous to snap one up now.

Go to a specialist radio retailer who should be able to help you out with that information.

I am reluctant to recommend any European car, particularly those from VW, because of the problems that have soured the ownership experience for so many people. Rather than those you name I would be looking at the Toyota RAV4, Honda CR-V or Suzuki Vitara.

There are lots of SUVs to choose from, it's a very crowded market, which works in the favour of the buyer. The Territory of the vintage you are considering is a decent car, the diesel is economical and it would tow up to 2700 kg. Also consider the Toyota RAV4, Nissan X-Trail, Honda CR-V.

One possibility that has affected the Toyota diesel in the past is fuel leaking past the fuel-injector seals and contaminating the oil causing a build-up of sludge that eventually blocks the oil pick-up and starves the engine of oil. It's a long shot, but a possible explanation.
