  1. Thanks , I am very happy to plug my mechanic and his awesome team. I am located on the Central Coast of NSW and he is now based in Morrisett. JOHN DALE MOTORS. Anyone who is down this way I would recommend them for any service or mechanical work. I am a very fussy man when it comes to who touches our 2009 Toyota Aurion Presara called "Faye" as she is a classy beautiful car. Thanks for the opportunity to give them a plug. KAA
  2. Welcome to the forum Robin KAA
  3. Hi Allan, I would suggest looking at all the videos you can on engine removal. I have never tackled it myself so can't comment first hand however we do have a YouTube guy we all seem to enjoy who is a Toyota and Lexus Master Tech and has some great videos on the 2 GR-FE V6 engines on his site. This is one he does on the 2 GR -FE V6 engine he is called The Car Care Nut so check it out see if he can guide you and i hope something he shows will assist you mate KAA
  4. Welcome to the forum Ewan, sounds like you found one of the rare ones mate so well done. Enjoy the forum as there are a lot of great people and minds on here' KAA
  5. Hi Norman vent away mate as I know from experience getting it out does help a little. Dealing with salesmen is always a bloody pain as all they want is the sale and then they wipe their hands of it. If it was me I would make an appointment with the manager or owner of the dealership and there be calm but make your case very clearly, make sure you take someone with you as a witness as it is always better to show you mean business. We all have been affected by the supply delay in vehicles and parts so yes I can understand delays but 6 months for a second key is just not on my friend. Let us know the outcomes of any further updates mate as your lifetime of being a loyal Toyota customer deserves better treatment. KAA
  6. Welcome to the forum Brian and also Helen..Thanks for the pic's of your beauties as it is lovely to see 2 classics KAA
  7. Totally true Tony, I had my Belt Tensioner and Drive Belt replaced and went Genuine only as it has lasted now 14 years so why risk a cheaper part. When Toyota has a warranty and reputation for their reliable parts I will not risk going non genuine for any major components. So I would have suggested the same thing bite the loss of the cheap part and stick with Genuine only. KAA

  11. Welcome to the forum mate, and Hope 2024 is a great year for you and yours KAA
  12. Hi Ton, The head unit is a real personal thing it will always come down to what you can afford and what your wanting from it. I would check out good audio sound stores like Monster etc. They usually have a good range of units and all the cabling required and also can fit the unit for you. Buying online is one way but not one I would choose because you can not physically look at it ask questions etc much easier going in person to somewhere, even Supercheap or Autobarn are a good starting place. Let us know what you end up doing KAA
  13. Thanks Ashley for the update on Mr Sludgy, I feel personally yes a dedicated engine flush may be worth a try for a while mate. Looking at the end results it obviously did do a good job. Then again your battle over this time has also helped a lot to reduce that sludge you have been fighting so hard. Look after yourself and love and hugs to you and your beloved for Christmas and may 2024 be an awesome year with that sludge gone. KAA
  14. Welcome to the forum Jose KAA
  15. Dave start with the obvious first like rad cap hoses etc for the coolant side, and oil the same thing filter and oil lines and maybe if possible try some brake clean sprays to you can see where it may be leaking from. The cost of repairs is a stab in the dark depending on what it turns out to be. How recent was its last service? KAA
