Hi there,

In the market for KX-S kluger. Just wondering what colours are popular out there. I've ruled out black as that was the colour of my LX Captiva (which I've sold and now targeting a kluger, hope it's the right choice)

The mrs is leaning towards Glacier but I'm inclined to Tidal Blue.

Thanks

Black is a mongrel to keep clean and shows every tiny little washing scratch. Great colour, but never again!

My silver WRX hides a multitude of sins if I don't have a chance to wash it for a while.

Ebony is the most popular colour in my area. I had an ebony for a 3 day test drive and found it looked filthy without driving in the rain or offroad.

I bought a graphite instead, as has someone else in my street. It looked relatively clean for a decent amount of time without washing. I am getting a replacement graphite, so it must have been OK.

I also have a silver pearl which looks really good and hides the dirt better than the graphite.

I didn't really like the blues and especially the tidal blue after the incident with an ex-eagle last year.

We have a Graphite, and seen a few around so its a pretty popular colour.

*** Maybe we can start a new thread/survey to see what colours everyone has there ???

Just need everyone to use a picture of their car as their avatar.

I still need to update mine to show how the Grande looked after the roll or the new KX-R.

I get my merlot Kluger on Friday (just getting out of a Presara, another baby due!), I think it looks great with the alloys and dark tint.

How was the Captiva experience shecskter?

I have Graphite. My dealer when I ordered said graphite was the most popular colour but who knows. I have seen a few around but also silver, blue and black. I've seen more Klugers this month than ever before.

We got the Ebony(black). We know its hard to keep clean, gives me a reason to wash it twice a week(with recycled water)

Looks fantastic!

Had the LX Captiva for 1 year. My wife calls it the "CRAPtiva", does that answer your question? :)

Kidding aside, I thought it was good value for money. The only problem with it and the main reason why we sold it was because it was emitting a sulphur-like odour (rotten egg). Holden knew about this defect but just didn't know how to fix it. Apart from this, it was okay. Engine also felt sluggish and uninspiring.

But my wife & I believe that the 3rd row seats are far better than the Kluger or Territory or Outlander. Captiva 3rd row seats are split folding.

Rotten egg smell comes from your catalytic converter not working. All they really should have done is replace this. Thats what i have been told is the cause of the smell(had it in a commodore years ago). Happens to all types of cars.

Yes, crystal pearl for me! Although as it was the only demo model, we had little choice.

Up here the white keeps the car a little cooler, and the resale value is better. (As if we'd want to sell it!)

As an aside, in the USA the white is called Blizzard Pearl. I wonder if this is the same a Crystal Pearl.

I think blizzard white is the same as Crystal pearl, to confirm it is we have to see the paint code.

Here is a list of Australian and US equivalent paint codes:

Crystal Pearl 070 Blizzard Pearl

Silver Pearl 1F7 Classic Silver Metallic

Graphite 1G3 Magnetic Gray Metallic

Ebony 202 Black

Merlot Red 3Q3 Salsa Red Pearl

Sandstone 4t8 Sandy Beach Metallic

Sage 6T7 Cypress Pearl

Glacier 8S7 Wave Line Pearl

Tidal Blue 8T7 Blue Streak Metallic

May come in handy when buying colour matched accessories from USA.

holmesie, GLAD TO SEE. saw your other pic, it looks very diferent now. I washed mine this morning, travels to parents, and it looks the same as prior to washing now(been having light showers all day, just enough to get the dirt wet on the roads, not enough to wash it off the road!

Oh well, did you get a tow bar too?

Yeah got the factory towbar, but won't be towing anything until it's got 1,000k's or so on the clock - shouldn't take long the way we rack them up :rolleyes:

Those matched paint-codes will definitely come in handy, thanks PaulG :)

we have been pretty slow as iu have been working full time with no days off as yet, so only up to 871ks at the moment, should schedulethe 1000checkup next wk. Did your towbar come with 2 x D shackles? Mine didnt and the previous commodore did...

No D-shackles, but I use load rated ones anyway and the ones that come free with most towbars mostly aren't rated

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
