Okay, I'm definitely set for this then. Finally got around to picking up my E-Toll tag. I don't know if I'll even need it, but it's there just in case.

On a side note, I like the design of the newer transponder. Fits in much neater than what the previous one would have:

God it's getting close now, just a handful of weekends away!! I was just wondering if any of the Brisbane or Sydney crew, or anyone in Melbourne might have a CB handheld they'd be willing to let me borrow for the cruise on Sunday? It's just myself in my Cam so I'll have plenty of room for any passengers that want to tag along. I've been hunting & hunting for one and they're all over $100, and I'm just thinking it's something I probably won't have a use for again..Otherwise there is a Uniden (think its the U047 something) that I can get on Ebay for around the $70 mark and it's a 1 watt, so that should do the job.

I like the view of the TMCA car park, I bet everyone will be having a good gawk from the roads on the way past!

If you don't plan on talking to others with the CB and just want to listen in for anything important, those cheap 0.5 watt CB's will dot he trick and you can pick them up real cheap. I've got one in the car for that very reason. Though for this meet, I plan to try and borrow one from the office. We have a 3 watt one sitting there somewhere.

No worries, have been to D1ck Smith and all they have is the .05 watt in a twin pack for $60, or the 1 watt for $100. Going to go check out their website now. I'm thinking I'll just bite the bullet and get one off Ebay, I can't see myself sitting there listening to it all and not participating hahah

Ahh my bad BKS, spose that's the only thing about the top down views. It'll all be a new area of Melbourne for me so am looking forward to seeing it all.

hi Guys,

After a bit of thought and some careful persuation, i've found a new Venue for our show and shine competition.

The guys at Brighton Toyota, have agreed to let us use their service carpark and under cover area for the afternoon!

This allows us to have facilities available, and also if we do want a wonder around some new cars, we can.... there happens to be a Lexus Dealership atached to the complex.

The new Address for the Show and Shine is...

77 Nepean Highway,

Elsternwick,

Brighton Toyota Contact Details and Map.

This will however be one of the busiest days for the Dealership, and they have asked that if any Sales Staff approach you for business you please inform them immediately that you are there for the show and are happy just admiring the cars.... unless you are genuinely interested in a new car.

      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

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.
