  1. Thanks. Doesn't look that hard. I'll attempt it as per video:
  2. Hi, The activation switch on the cruise control stalk in my 2007 AT-X has stopped working. It started like a couple of days ago and initially it would not activate once in like 5 times, and then it worsened within a couple of days and now it doesn't turn on anymore. Doubt it's a problem in the cruise control system; could just be the switch eg: contacts are worn off, or misaligned. Can anymore recommend an auto electrician in northern suburbs of Melbourne who might able to fix this? Edit: I could turn it on in the video after like pressing the switch for 20 times :D Cheers video.mp4
  3. I think you're fine. This is my 2007 AT-X. https://i.imgur.com/XW6ZWkR.jpg
  4. Not sure where you live Adrian, but do you happen to know a good transmission shop north of Melbourne?
  5. Hi fellas I have a 2007 Aurion and I've had this since early 2016. Currently has done 130000km. I've serviced the car regularly (102k, 112k, 122k) and did change the front rotors and rear parking break shoes in that last service. I'm planning to do the next service at 135k. The resale value of the car is pretty low so I think I will be keeping it for a while. I'm thinking about doing a transmission fluid change at the next service. I don't know if the transmission fluid was replaced at any time during the last 11 years though. I guess it is safe to assume if hasn't been. One concern I have is that I've heard people say if the transmission fluid hasn't been changed in a long time, doing a full flush can cause issues than any good. I don't know how long is "long time". What would you do in my situation? Do a full flush or just a change (i.e. leave some of the old oil) I don't have the experience, tools or the time to do this. I've looked at some online quotes and they seem to charge around $180-250 for it. Does it sound about right? Need to check if this is for a full flush or change. Is there anything I need to watch out for when doing a transmission fluid change? Cheers
  6. Hi, I just bought a 2014 Yaris Accent and wondering where to find the Australian version of the owner's manual online as a digital document (eg: PDF). Anyone know a place? I came across this https://www.toyota.com/owners/resources/owners-manuals/yaris/2014 but it doesn't mention about the reversing camera which mine has, so I was thinking perhaps it was just the Australia version? perhaps it was installed as an accessory? I don't know. :S
  7. Hi Where would one buy a genuine 16" hubcap for a 2007 Aurion AT-X? The front passenger side hubcap had come off on my way home today. :( I found this. https://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Genuine-Toyota-Hub-Cap-16-Inch-Aurion-2006-2011-42602-06040/262581858528 I wonder if I might be able to buy one for cheaper. Cheers
  8. I thought it would then wear the front shoes of the two in the rear wheels more. Or even both to the same level. In my case the front shoes were fine, just the rear ones were worn off all the way down to the metal. I thought that would happen if you reversed with the parking brake on.
  9. Mine did the same thing. The mechanic readjusted the brake couple of times and it worked for only a few days before it stopped holding again. He did a bit of digging and finally found out that the rear shoes were worn off to almost nothing left in it. Replaced them and it is holding fine now. I don't know what the previous owners of the car did to wear them off.
  10. Haha I think that's the best outcome of all of this. XD
  11. LOL. I don't know what to say. I had ordered the filter from aliexpress, and when I tried to cancel it, the seller said that they had already shipped it and they couldn't cancel it. Oh well, let's see how it goes.
  12. Hi, I want to replace the cabin air filter of my 2007 Aurion AT-X and I'm wondering if this is the right part. https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fulk%2Fitm%2F201503110290 What does those letters at the end (JA and F) mean? Thanks
  13. This? http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/DASH-MAT-DASHMAT-DASHBOARD-COVER-FIT-TOYOTA-CAMRY-ALTISE-SPORTIVO-07-09-GREY-/400639132222
  14. I can't find anything related to dash mats by that number.
  15. @trentmeyer23 Is this the product I need? http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/Holts-Dupli-Color-Touch-Up-Paint-Diamond-White-12-5mL/131818 or this one? http://www.supercheapauto.com.au/Product/Dupli-Color-Touch-Up-Paint-Plastic-Trim-Primer-150g/357008 The former might not be enough. The latter is a spray, but its description mentions "Includes brush system for minor chips & scratches". What does this mean? Also, do you think all I need is just touch up paint? They recommend that I use a primer, base paint and then clear coat in their docs. But they are all Cheers
  16. Hi, The other day I got my car scratched below the driver side door as shown in the attached photo. It's not a metal panel as far as I understand and I'm wondering what can be done to fix it DIY style. I don't want to spend a lot of money and don't expect to get a professional quality outcome. If it isn't noticeable from a couple of meters away, that's good enough. Of course, if a great quality can be achieved with little bit more money spent, I'll go for that definitely. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Colour code is 061 (Diamond White) btw. Cheers
  17. Could be because of the angle the photo was taken. I'll try to take one from a clearer angle. I've seen the photos on google and mine isn't like that at all.
  18. Any particular manufacturer/model number I should look for? I've seen some on ebay but they don't have a photo specific to the Aurion, so I don't know how they would actually look with my car.
  19. I don't feel it has an oily feeling. I honestly don't know what one of these melted dashboards look/feel like. This is what mine looks like. I'm sure the pictures don't tell the whole story. When you say melted, is it something you can only feel, or you can visually see a degradation too? I never keep the dash exposed to direct sunlight. I use a sunshade if I park it in the sun.
  20. I've had a similar thing happen. I wash the car and try to reverse back to the carport which is about 10-degrees upward sloping angle, and the car does not want to move even with the engine at 4000RPM! I got the check engine light. This happened twice. This is what I got on the OBD2 scanner.
  21. Hi, Can anyone recommend me a dash mat for my 2007 AT-X, which has some damages caused by the previous owner trying to install something (a sat nav, I reckon) Plus, I don't want the sun to melt the dash. Mine hasn't melted yet. Cheers
