Interesting. That brian88 guy keeps pumping out new threads. Something must be up with that. I guess we will just have to wait for Steve to make an adjustment to it.

I put 2500km on my car within 2 days after buying it, then a further 2000km over the next couple of weeks. I wouldn't even call that bad.

You obviously didn't look hard enough: http://www.commbank.com.au/about-us/careers/ If a position is available, it will be listed. If not, then you can't apply. Lucky I'm with Westpac... and in Brisba

How many litres of petrol have I got left the moment my fuel light turns on?

Depends on whether you are driving and at what speed, and if you are on an incline/decline.

Generally for the Aurion, on level ground and travelling at approximately 110km/h, if your fuel light comes on, you have about 20-25 litres left in the tank.

Wow, that is still HEAPS of petrol in the tank.

I usually fill up after 50Km after the light has come on.

Since day one of getting my Aurion I have always been feeding her $50 V-power.

With the exception of the first ever fill when I got it. Filled up V-power to the brim to clean out any crap in the car, since it was a fleet and at the dealer for a long time I doubt they ever gave it quality fuel.

Really??? When the light comes up, and I go to the gas station, I filled up like 55L, that means 5L left?

It's a 70 litre tank. I don't know where you got 60 litres from.

being a dumb a*#e on a computer how do you put pics under your signature ?

Find or make an image, trying to be respectful of others and keeping a conservative size (150-175px vertical is a good number), and them upload it to a hosting service like ImageShack, PhotoBucket, or TinyPic. Then you take the direct url link (ending in .jpg) and inset it into your signature through the control panel with the IMG HTML code like so:

My dumb question for the day...do they make a wheel nut socket that will protect against damaging painted/anodized/powdercoated alloy wheel nuts?

As far as I'm aware, you can only get the sockets with the nylon coating on the outside to protect the wheels themselves. Having something on the inside would require that it withstand a bit of force which can be difficult to find. One method I would have is to line the inside of the socket with a couple of layers of electrical tape. This would eventually wear, but it is a start and it's easy to change.

Edit: Did some searching and came across this. All I have found so far. Not sure if the size is appropriate though:

How do i get my information off the white page??

getting sick of people calling to promote sh!ts.

Thanks in advance!

Ring up Telstra and say you want a silent number? Or go on the Do Not Call register?

Can't exactly take your number out of the phone book until they update it in July (although they start collecting data), but telemarketers generally don't pull numbers from the phone-book anyway (they get them from mailing lists etc)

Go to https://www.donotcall.gov.au/ and register.

However, like most industries that are left to self-regulate, the system is far from perfect and there are loopholes. By registering, you'll block out maybe 75% of the calls, but you'll still get idiots ringing you domestically and overseas.

My stupid question is.

Why is the intake on the corollas at the front but on alot of other cars its on the back?

There's no real majority, both are common (my parent's Mazda2 has the intake at the front), the main advantage of exhaust at the back is that the secondaries don't have to go under the engine, thus saving height and allowing the engine to sit lower, but it will push the engine forwards because you need to route the exhaust around the steering components between the block and the firewall.

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi there sorry for the late response, The reverse guidelines are on the factory camera itself (the guidelines are turned off on the Pioneer unit as it doubled up over the factory camera lines) and if I remember correctly they still retain the angle prediction. Everything else (excluding DAB) works***. But instead of using DAB I've downloaded RadioApp which has all of the DAB stations on it and is accessible by Android Auto (not sure on Apple CarPlay though) so no biggie. I also used an adapter to retain the original GPS antenna, works flawlessly. *** EDIT *** The info on the instrument cluster may or may not show, depending on what interface you end up using. In my case I've lost the audio and navigation info on the centre screen and fuel economy/vehicle customisation screens from the factory head unit but I'm not fussed by it as there are other ways to access them on a Kluger. I think it's all retained if you use iDatalink Maestro and a compatible head unit (it will be marked as such) but besides that and DAB all other functions are still operable.
