Its not really the ashtray but the storage compartment in the centre of the dash. The one on the very bottom in front of the stickshift. Anybody know what the trick is to remove this? My wife's earring fell down in behind and I'm having a devil of a time trying to get the compartment out without breaking something.

Thanks.

Mate that whole section is pretty much a couple of big pieces including the glovebox so if it's well under there then you will have to go to town on it with a screwdriver. Failing that, you might be able to get your hand under there by removing the trim around the gear shifter if you have a manual, you will have to remove the gear knob, take the cig lighter out and disconnect it, remove the lower ashtray and the piece that the gearboot is connected to pops right out. You might be able to go in that way.

Thanks for the response. I asked her how attached she was to the earring as I pointed out what is involved here. She said to not worry about the earring.

A porn shop??

Haha... this I must see...

I'm sure some perv will want a used ladies earing to rub all over themselves... I don't quite know how much it would sell for, or what sort of mods you could buy with it.

Perhaps a new gear 'knob'? :P

Haha... of course... wasn't trying to make something of it, just being a smartar5e when I should be doing homework :P

Good ol' Sinan... always encouraging people to spend ludicrous amounts of money on their cars. :)

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Gary, I would suspect a clutch problem, like not fully disengaging. Maybe you aren't fully pushing it to the floor, or the system needs topping up or bleeding or both. Herb

      Toyota Corolla 2012 zre152 transmission issue

      Hi Toyota owners, I'm new to this forum registration. I need some advice or help as I have a shifting issue with my 2012 4 speed transmission. It doesn't do it all the time but the gears don't shift smoothly specially 3 to 4 gear it just bangs in when I'm cruising and it happens more often when hot. Got full transmission serviced with Toyota genuine parts no metal shavings in pan. Changed ATF 3 times. Full major service done, 100000 KLM on car. Full synthetic oil with 98 Ron fuel. Throttle body cleaned twice. Maf sensor cleaned. New spark plugs. No engine codes. Great loss of power sometimes specially on hot days. Please help as no mechanic knows what the issue is. Thanks in advance.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Yes mine is October 2023. It arrived late February Early March to the docks in Brisbane. I have a friend who has been told that hers will be in the next shipment but is only on the production line now. So future stock should be 2024 ! ?

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!
