Mate us Qld boys saw the temp sit at between 8-15 on the way to Sydney from about Grafton onwards south. The Monday we left it was reading about 6 or so when we left the F1 at wentworthville.

I've seen it here in Brissy get down to 3 on my way to work.

biggest increase i have seen was from office in ew to mornington peninsula (1 hour drive ish bit more maybe)

went from 29 (underground carpark) and kept climbing all the way up to 46 degrees by the time we hit mornington....was middle of summer i guess and a real hot one at that :)

killer temperature

i'd believe that - over dec 05 - jan 06 i saw a lot of 36+ degree days down on the monrington peninsula

early 2005 i saw 0.5 degrees in my barina on the day we were heading to GOR ... that day was freaking cold ... AND there was fog everywhere

im guessing they dont go to minus ? as it was sitting on zero for around 5 mins....and prior to that it was dropping down a degree every min or so from when i left my garage.........need to make a trip to the snow or be out earlier in morning to test this.....need a hand held thermometer to compare to.........

* where is the sensor..........obviously no where near engine and out of the way of wind etc.....ne one know......

Actually, the readout on my Vienta display once said it was -17 ... however, in truth it probably would have been the absolute of that. Just a glitch, I'd say.

Dead zero.

Oh how I love Canberra. Temperature similar to Canada in Autumn, and wind like Chicago.

Our cars will hate the cold starts in the morning, but once they're warm, they sure as hell love the dense cold air that they suck in :D

If you open the bonnet and look down behind the front bumper there is that center post that holds one of the horns. It is the sensor below that. I would take a picture, but I'm lazy.

My workmates was at -6 on Monday at 8am. There was ice all over the road... doing a 45km trip to work at 40ks an hour was rather boring!

      Hi everyone, new member to the group and owner driver of a nifty little Toyota Sprinter Trueno XZ, now this was my cousins car, I bought it off him and after various drives, I have come to the decision that this needs alot of love. Now I am wondering if its worth putting my time and money into doing this certain make n model up or should I just buy a different car to do up? I am not very car-inclined so I really don't know a lot. Any opinions would be very helpful Thankful!

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      Android auto

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.
