I used to love black, but always have a soft spot for white since the white Honda Integra Type R from 1999. Love white car since then.

There is too much to clean for a clean black Kluger.... it is hard enough to keep the white clean.

:D :D SAGE GREEN :D :D

I know not on everyones list but we love it. The car looks a completely different colour depending on the time of day. Anything from green - dark grey - almost a blue green. My 2nd choice would have been Merlot red but I was worried about fading as my car does not get the garage, thats saved for hubbys 53 Chev :-(

He wanted White but having just driven a white car for 8 years I was ready for a change. The black looks amazing but we already own 2 black cars so we knew what we were in for!. Big issue here in Melbourne where washing your car involves a trip to your local carwash or installing a water tank!.

Don't get black. Since it will be a big wash.

Yeah thats true. I have black and very easy to get scratched (My Kluger black paint is very thin, a little scratch and you see the white base) and very easy to get dirty. But it looks awesome tho.

The crystal pearl is really nice. I don't actually have a kluger but if I did i'd get a crystal pearl one. When you see it at night it kind of glows. But I really like the blue too. It's a hard call...

I will be picking up my AWD Grande Silver Pearl in two weeks time. The most common I am seeing in my area is the Black.

I see one every colour around our areas. Lots of Gold for *** sake... not a lot of sago green though.

Love the white, will never consider other colour. For all future cars for that matter, white sports car for me next (BMW 135 or the EVO X MR hehe... or in a couple of years time, a white Nissan GTR).

Just got my KX-S AWD (merlot) ... although its a little difficult to appreciate this lovely colour after some gravel road testing.

Great car ... just love it: powerful, quiet, comfortable, so much interior space compared to my previous Honda Odyssey. While Odyssey handles better on bitumen, on gravel the Kluger is so much better that there is no comparison. :rolleyes:

Only complaint is that its a tad difficult to wash/polish the roof by hand ... unless you are Inspector Gadget.

Nah, I haven't been stalking your Kluger out your way. :whistling:

I was originally going with the Tidal Blue but while metallic paint job looks good at a distance, the close-up look didn't turn me on. So I decided to go with a mica metallic paint job ... and the merlot seemed the pick of the crop ... reinforced by your posts and photos on this forum.

In fact, picking up my Kluger was the first time I saw merlot 'in the flesh' ... so I guess I owe it to you and your photos. ;)

Thinking I had the only merlot kluger in Canberra, I was somewhat dismayed on Day 2 to be passed by a merlot Grande :(

Not quite a dead ringer ... I don't have the side steps - they seem a bit pointless coz the roof rack is positioned so far back.

Now to get the rubber boot liner ... but that's a story for another post (to come shortly).

I'm glad you liked the colour MDV! So far ours is the only Merlot in our four-Kluger town (the others are all a nice conservative country-car-owners white) <_<

      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!!! :)
