  1. Thanks for the suggestion, tested that and fan does come on when Air cond is on Cheers Kevin
  2. Hi there We have a 2008 ZR6, 135000 gentle kms, driven in country by mature aged lady driver, mainly on short trips to work, about 6kms one way. For the last few months, intermittently, the information light comes on along with engine malfunction light, and VSC warning message on dash and VSC/traction light on as well. Sometimes it clears itself, and usually comes on when making a turn after stopping at an intersection, or can come on going around a bend, It may come on when you start the car and then not come back on next time we start the car. My son has equipment to read the code and looked up the error code and it says it is the engine fan warning. The engine fan appears to work as expected, comes on when engine hot and shuts off as expected. No unusual readings on temperature guage. Any suggestions as what to do now? Have a good day Cheers Kevin
  3. Ashley Very good test, I assume you can buy this oil in Australia, and do you use it? I am in Gippsland, Victoria, it would be good to know if there are any excellent transmission service centres, but how do you know if they are any good? I can travel to the eastern suburbs of Melbourne if necesessary or to the Latrobe valley, places like Traralgon, Morwell, Moe are big centres.
  4. Is replacing transmission fluid a normal mechanic task or do I need an automatic transmission specialist? Not so sure about your suggestions regading radiatior cooland and fuel filter. Looking at the warranty and service book from Toyota that radiator fluid does not have to changed for 10 years, and the fuel filter is due at 150000 kms
  5. Hi there I have been a bit slack and the car is well overdue for its service. The last service was a scheduled Toyota service at 60000 kms and apart from changing the engine oil and oil filter, new battery, new wiper blades and tyres nothing else has been done. The car now has 110000 kms and appears to be running well. Fuel economy is still very good at 7.6-8.0 liters per 100 km cruising on country trips. Thinking of taking it to a local mechanic, instead of Toyota, who want to charge 130 per hour. I have bought from the USA new plugs, air filter, air conditioning filter and oil filters Apart from changing plugs, air filter, air conditioning filter, changing brake fluid, topping up other fluids, what else would you get the mechanic to do? I will change the engine oil and filter myself. Are there any recommendations for replacement brake pads, are Toyota pads the ones to use, or are there better ones, or ones similar to Toyota pads for much cheaper? Thanks for any advice Have a good day Warek
