Hi all,

I've been looking for a Aurion Sportivo for some time now, and recently one came up that fit my description (I wanted a sunroof, which is an optional feature on the SX6) However the colour was not one I particularly liked, Its a lime green colour.

What does everyone think of this colour? And does anybody know why they no longer produce this colour, instead its inferno orange. Was the green colour unpopular?

Thanks

They no longer produce the ZR6 or SX6 in Wildfire Red either!!I think this may be because they sell it on the TRD Aurion (it was stopped around the time of the release of the TRD). That new inferno colour is *****!!!So is the new dark grey colour - it's *****!!! (They were the replacement colours)

I like green, and it still puzzles me why they discontinued it. I've seen plenty in that colour on the road!

IMO the green looks $hithouse, no offence to anyone that owns it, but a darker metallic green would have been far more attratctive than that. It honestly looks like the government cars (camrys) we had here in QLD in the late '80s.

you're not knocking the SV21 are you? That car was the bomb (lol; no jokes about it being a bomb). I drove one for 4 years before I got my Aurion. It had been in the family since 1991 and was an ex-government car as well. Never skipped a beat. I still miss it in a way.

Sorry but it reminds me of a lime green milk shake yuk :blink: Inferno red is the way to go!!! :clap:

Did you mean Inferno or Wildfire? I'll take the benefit of the doubt and say you meant Wildfire. Why... because that colour rocks. LOL.

Well it was my first choice, GREEN stands out......

Plus theres not many around....Thats why mine stands out... tongue.gif

I don't personally hate the green Aurion. Green is my favourite colour, but more specifically in the racing green variety. The good thing about the green Aurion like you said, is that there aren't many other cars of the same colour and therefore it stands out. It's like a yellow car... they are more noticeable out in the crowd. Each to their own on personal colour preferences.

Hehehe. It's a nice colour isn't it? Not being biased or anything, LOL. Anyways, they still produce the Wildfire Mica, just only for the AT-X and Prodigy grades. I don't know why they went along with that decision. Usually all the Wildfire ones I see are the AT-X. I don't see all that many Wildfire Sportivos around Brisbane. If I do, it's usually a cop car.

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      Check your fuel lines to the filter. The factory clamps are designed for quick removal but sometime come lose enough to allow air. I replaced all mine with 'worm drive' clamps.

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated
