  1. So Trans was checked yesterday and it turns out that the transmission had been overfilled by over 3 to 4 litres of oil. So when under high pressure and temps it was coming out the breather.. No damage of note and all sweet! Massive relief..As I said we had only bought the car not long ago and of course you never know the history. This time we were very lucky. Toyota's sealed WS sealed oil system has its flaws..this could have been easily avoided with a dipstick.... cheers for responses guys!
  2. Yeah i wish it was psteering no res is full. You can see where the oil is coming from kinda and the ps is a different colour and the way its spattered back shows its from the top we've had it on a hoist...but thanks anyway
  3. Hey guys we recently purchased a nice 2007 Presara with 100K on it... i was on the highway and had just overtaken a few cars at a decent overtaking speed and upon coming back down some codes came up on the screen and I noticed smoke coming from the back. Pulled over straight away and shut it down...under the bonnet was covered in trans fluid that seemed to be fairly high up in the system. Would have lost a fair amount judging by the mess but it only seems to happen under high pressure (overtaking...) and my partner said that she had smelt the smell before after overtaking... Anyway towed it back to my mechanic mates and he said that it looks like it is coming out of the breather...anyway I have yet to get it diagnosed but I was wondering if anyone has heard of this happening?? Please let us know if this has happened to anyone to help with where we are to go from here as I DO NOT trust the auto specialist( for want of a better term) that is looking at it (don't have a choice in small town)... I know that I will probably be up for a newy or a bench fix but fingers crossed that it can be resolved... TIA :) Josh.
  4. Just purchased our second Toyota and what a car it is!! Decided on a 2007 Presara to go next to my 2003 v8 Landcruiser. We now will have a driveway full of Silver Toyota goodness. It was interesting to take the misses out looking for cars. We had a pretty good idea what we were looking for until we got to the yards and started looking at them close up. We were thinking either commy or 380 but it wasn't until up close did the Toyota stand out from the others. We both love the cruiser to bits and I'm going to keep the big girl for a very long time and the Aurion is definitely relatable to the best parts that the cruiser has...plus heaps more...and for my partner the first seat in the Aurion sold her instantly. We havent actually got the Presara yet as its still to be picked up but she sat in the At-x and was sold so I know the Presara will blow her away Anyway i'm a pretty active forum member for the Cruiser over at LCool and the reading I have already done on this one shows that it is an envaluable resource and what I feel a cruicial part of car ownership and appreciation. Anyway thats all from me Cheers, Josh
