Hi Robert, Mate I would suggest you shop around. I replaced our head unit through Monster Audio who did the install with the proper harness for all steering wheel functions and no issue whatsoever with the amp. So even a few phone calls to other reputable audio places explain what your after and see what deal they can offer. Everyone has their own likes and dislikes as far as head units, for me it was more music quality and ease of updates for the sat/nav system. The other option is to do as Herb suggested and see if a wrecker has a unit available, I would use that as a last option as finding a unit that has everything you need and installing it yourself will be required. If you do wish to stay with a stock system let me know as I still have our head-unit from our 2009 Presara which when removed worked fine with the sat/nav DVD still in it. KAA

Welcome to the forum Rick, As Ashley said will be happy to hear how the RAV 4 goes. KAA

Hi Lee-Anne, From what i have read The P0093 code is triggered once the vehicle’s powertrain control module (PCM) detects the possibility of a large fuel leak on the high-pressure side. The code is logged once the PCM perceives a significant drop in fuel pressure within the fuel system’s high pressure rail as reported by the fuel rail pressure sensor. There are quite a few videos on You-Tube about the issue but it is not always for the RAV 4 so worth a look to see if one is for your model. I would be very careful if you intend to drive it as it can go into limp mode at any time. I am sure if any have more information on it they will let you know KAA

Hi Avalon owners, latest video from our Toyota and Lexus GURU The Car Care Nut.. 2014 Avalon 11,000 miles, defiantly worth a view KAA

Hi Roma, I am not familiar with Mazda's at all so can't really say of rsure what the issue could me. But if there are several lights being shown I can not understand why your mechanic has not checked the codes stored for faults, at least it could give some direction to what could be causing the issues.

Welcome to the forum Jay, enjoy KAA

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

Welcome to the forum Robin KAA

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

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

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

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

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

Welcome to the forum mate, and Hope 2024 is a great year for you and yours KAA

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

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

Welcome to the forum Jose KAA

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

Welcome to the forum Joe, I am sure your loving the little beauty that was the AE112 Corolla. Enjoy the forum KAA

Hi Hobes and welcome to the forum, from my fading memory the RT40 Corona did come in a deluxe version which featured reclining Bucket seats. From the pictures you do have a job ahead of you but what a fun project it may prove to be. Let us know how the project goes mate KAA

Yes mate it shows the tLC you put into keeping her immaculate. I am also the same way so our 2009 Aurion Presara "Faye" is also perfect for a 14 year old beauty. I love taking my beloved wife out in a clean quiet super comfy beauty as it is what both deserve. Thanks for the Pic's mate here is some of our "Faye" KAA

Tom the fact the engine was so clean shows how well you look after your baby, glad all went well doing the services required and now you know just how good she is into the future. Thanks for the Pic's mate KAA
