Hi All,

I am looking at buying an Aurion Sportivo SX6 and wonder you guys can help me with few questions.

The one i am looking at has a tow bar fitted and I want it removed as I m not gna use it and I dont like it hanging out of the rear bar. Does any of you know whether I can find a cover to cover the hole in the rear bumper if I remove it completely.

And also is there anything else that I should look out for when buying an Aurion with about 130K KMS. ( I ve read to watch out for oil leaks).

Thanks for the help in advance.

Cheers,

I don't suppose your cars white.

Might be able to swap bars with mine.

Well if i end up buying this it will be black. :S and i think you are in SA so it would be difficult to swap..

maybe there is someone who would be interested in getting a tow bar and has a black sportivo.

What other options do I have if I can't find a cover for it? Vinyl wrap it or get a new sportivo rear lip.. ??

You won't be able to vinyl straight over it, the hole's too big. (well you can, but something will pierce it. plus you'll still notice the indent anyway.)

Not sure if the bottom half of the bar can be sourced on it's own but good luck searching! Wreckers?

      Aurion "wobble"

      Since last year I've been getting quite terrible wheel wobble between 60-70 mph on the expressway. Sort of notice it however way less evident now and again going more slow. Recently got crankshaft belt and flash fittings changed at a repairman I believe that accomplishes great work. This began occurring after I got excessively blissful doing doughnuts in the colder time of year and knock a snow bank tapping a road sign haha... I figured I twisted something in the driver side suspension...lower control arm, tie bar, and so on yet repairman said everything was straight and tight, bushings alright, no spillage on them or swaggers. He said perhaps a wheel arrangement would fix it. I maintain that should do swaggers in any case cause the ride isn't quite as smooth as it used to be. Contemplations? Assuming I get an arrangement would it be advisable for me to do the swaggers first or is that all the more with supplanting the lower control arm?

      Oil Pipe Leak

      I'd be surprised if they expect you to pay for it as it is a recall issue. Glad it's been checked out before it's too late though.

      Swapping hiace motors

      Hi there, bit of background, I’ve got a 2003 Toyota hiace lwb that has a good motor but the shell is dead, and a 1993 Toyota hiace commuter extra long wheel base that has a dead motor. Both diesel, 1993 is 2.4L engine, 2003 I’m not 100% but I believe it’s also a 2.4L engine So my question is does anybody know if the 2003 motor would fit in the 1993 hiace commuter.

      Brake issues with 2024 Corolla Cross Hybrid

      Hi all, trying to get some opinion/feedback on what I recently observed on my Corolla Cross. It happened on the last two trips where the car made noise, I feel some vibration/rattling when I was braking. It lasts for 1 or 2 seconds. I kind of felt the tires skid but I am not sure if that's what actually happened. And I, again kind of, felt that it was the right side tires. Or at least the noise coming from the right side. But it could be just because I was driving and obviously sit on the right side of the car. In those 2 trips, it happened in 4 occasions. And it wasn't abrupt or hard braking, just normal slowing down. I wonder if this is a known issues ... or if anyone with the same car experience the same or similar issues. Thank you.
