  1. Anyone who gets in my car has the same issue I've now made a habit of holding on to the door frame above the window as I'm getting out of the car, haven't had a zap in the last year :)
  2. Yeaahhhhhh don't really trust the Toyota guys much myself! Good luck on it and keep us posted! Might end up asking them to check it on my car too next time she's in! Thanks for the updates!!!!
  3. No idea but seems more like an ECU thing. I had a family car converted to LPG once and it ran low revs when cold, had to get it tuned to fix the issue. Also my rev estimates were way off. N ~850rpm D ~700rpm Could it be the VVTI issue that's well known on this forum?
  4. Yeah definitely fuel issue I reckon! About 70% less noise after 30mins+ on BP Ultimate.
  5. Yeah that's a normal drop though. Its like slipping the clutch in a manual with the handbrake on. 600-700rpm in N. 400-500rpm in D. I may have also found a pattern with the rough idle being more noticeable using E10 rather than my usual BP Ultimate. I will confirm this after my drive home in a couple of hours.
  6. I don't recall any suction noise. It's gradually been getting louder in the last 3months or so. Been a few road trips since then as I moved from Adelaide to Canberra. My car is at 92,000. (Mind you the last 15000km have been done in the last 3 months since moving.) Mine could also sound a bit louder 'cause I'm using a directional condenser mic to record it :( I can barely hear it if im in the car, unless it's a cold start, then it's pretty loud. (windows up, music off) There's also no loss in power, or any strange engine movement (if that helps!)
  7. That's mine, hmmm is yours the lower note noise? After a 15min drive.
  8. Hmm I think I'm having a similar issue. I'm going to upload a vid tonight, will post it in the morning. added: yours has a pretty deep throaty noise to it, mine doesn't have that. (uploading now)
  9. Is that from a cold start? If I get time I'll record mine (as its a bit noisier then when I first got the car) to compare the sound.
  10. Open the bonnet up with a camera phone recording while she's on. handbrake on move it from N to D so we can hear the difference.
  11. That's unfortunate mate. But try the suggested clay bar, they work a treat :) Also great for removing bug/tar stains on the front bumper!
  12. "Apparently" - From numerous sources. AKA, not reliable. Shell, Caltex, and a couple of others (7/11's, woolies etc) run out of a separate refinery than BP and Mobil. A family member worked in a chem lab at one of the refineries and said he would never buy fuel from the shell/caltex etc stations if he could avoid it (bad quality compared to the BP refinery) BUT that being said, it depends on the location. For example if there's a BP fuel station in the middle of nowhere, where surrounding towns are all shell/caltex, then chances are they're contracted fuel from Shell/Caltex, rather than from BP. So really ignore everything I just said, a lot of people say V Power is the go. A lot of people say BP Ultimate is the go. I'm a BP Ultimate man myself, but go test them out yourself. PS. The additives in the BP fuel are boss.
  13. I got a quote for a rear bumper non-painted from Toyota for $600. (I just ended up giving the scratch/scuff some TLC to fix it. looks 90%) I would definitely go wreckers or an after-market one.
  14. BP Ultimate, 36 psi in Canberra (high-altitude+Winter, does it make a difference?) Work commuting ~12km one way, about %50 80-90km/h the rest 40-60km/h. Manual calculation@ 9.3L/100km
  15. Thank you DJKOR, master of the all-distracting avatar. I swear it didn't take me 2minutes to read your sentence.
