Has anyone noticed how many new Klugers are on the road now days?. I live in Berwick (SE Melbourne) and on a recent outing (10km round trip) I passed 6 on the road.

Even on a drive to the local shop only 2km away I saw 2 and then yesterday there were 3 in a carpark of about 100 cars.

Is this the trend everywhere or do I just live in Kluger Central?

You have a white one Taka?

I won't be surprised at all that peope are buying Kluger. Of the SUV that I was looking at recently, none come close to what Kluger can or has to offer. My only concern is that with such popularity, what would be the resale value when you try to sell it second hand or trade in a few years later.

There should be no concern if it is a good car kept in good condition. You will find generally good car in high volume still be ok. Coz there will be more to choose from, people can choose colour and specs upon buying a 2nd hand Kluger II.

That is why I want a Grande. The old Kluger Grande still a very good car and many people want it.

Just came back from a 2,700km trip to QLD and back and was surprised by all the Klugers I passed on that s***hole of a National Highway (the Pacific)...

Came back down the Newell and saw a lot less.

My KX-S was faultless - will make a separate thread with a trip and fuel economy report :)

Hey guys, jut got back from 5 days in USA, i didn't see not even ONE new model Kluger, and only about 2 of the old ones. Did see lots of other common and very American cars of course, but we see more here than over there for sure!

Thats the second person this week I have heard this from that has been to the states and no Prado's either

All I can say, it was good to be one of the first of something big in Australia (Our Blue Kluggie was the first order of Klugers in Oz!)

I guess this is geographical thing - in my suburb I can't even step outside the corner w/out spotting at least one.

I just spent 6 weeks in the USA.

I saw a few Highlanders in most parts, but in LA, and especially Hollywood, they were everywhere.

Also, when I was returning a brand new Chev "piece of crap" SUV in Detroit, about 15 of the 20 SUVs they had were Highlanders.

Note: The highlander doesn't have the spare wheel cover we have and makes them easy to spot because it looks so bad.

I was in Toronto (Canada) a few weeks back and saw a couple of Highlanders and then saw one in Phoenix on the way back to Sydney. Sounds like the Shire is Kluger central. See heaps around Heathcote and Engadine, as well as a fair few older models.

      05 hiace ecu

      Hi all, new member needing some help with an issue that has me stumped, replacing ignition and had a short somehow. Van would not crank or obviously start, found blown fuse and replaced, now car cranks but won’t start, no check engine light when ignition is first turned on and scan tool will not communicate with ecu. All fuses good except fuse 26 on instrument panel fuse box has no power. almost convinced my ecu is cooked but before outlaying for a new one thought someone may either advise another possible cause or confirm ecu likely the issue, appreciate any advise or experience similar.

      1989 Hilux Low Voltage

      Hey all, recently got a 1989 Hilux with the petrol 22r engine. I had plugged a voltage meter into the 12v socket because I suspected an electrical problem as the battery light had been on. It had read 11.9 volts initially but the more I drive the more it deteriorates, currently sitting at 10.9 (after several hours of driving) when the engine is running. This obviously doesn't charge the battery and it can't start by itself. I have since replaced the battery and yesterday I did the alternator with a brand new one. I've checked all the grounds that I can see but it's still sitting at 10.9 volts and deteriorates over time. I was thinking the voltage regulator is the next best bet? I looked at it visually and it seems fine. Anyone got any other ideas? Note: I had a very long drive the other week and on one occasion the voltage spiked back up to 15+ volts for a short while before going back down to about 11.4 And yeah I'm trying not to drive it too much because I know it's probably damaging the battery being on such low voltage. Any help would be awesome thanks!

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Photo below showing remotely mounted relay for sup pump and switch to connect relay coil to earth when required. The earth connection for the switch was found using a test light in an empty relay socket just near where the relay is now mounted. You can trace the solid black wire. Btw, I soldered all the crimp connectors. I don't have a lot of faith in crimp connectors. Geoff

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      No, I didn't see a fuel filter, but the inside of the tank was spotless. The pump wasn't running - blocked filter or not. Geoff

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Geoff, did you check the fuel filter that protects the transfer pump from blockages? Tony

      Wanting to build my car.

      I’ve brought my first car a while ago it’s a 2008 Toyota Aurion sportivo zr6 it has 215xxx kms I’ve been wanting to modify it as it is tidy but I’m unsure if I should since the car is this old and I have had to replace the oil cooler lines a month ago (my car dumped its oil on me) just unsure if they go good after a certain age. what I do want to do to it is. wheels lowering springs or coil overs stiffer sway bar exhaust tint all round after market head lights and tail lights (if any of you know decent ones could you shear a link as I’ve only been able to find some on eBay) if there is anything else that would make it look good like body kits if there are any would be nice to know. Thanks in advance IMG_0918.cr2

      2004 hzj79 surging/jolting

      Gday Ive got a problem with my 2004 hzj79 with 235,000kms with no turbo, ive takin it to a few places all have different answers. At 1400rpm just on light throttle it seems to be surging/jolting as if your on and off the accelerator. Ive recently had the head gasket, head, injectors, fuel filters and timming belt all done and is still happening after the works been done. Has anyone else had the same problem before or be able to point me in right direction? Cheers.
