Just an FYI to everyone and also so we have it on record for anyone searching in the future.

Been running around trying to get hold of replacement brake pads for the Aurion, and want something better than stock.

Bendix has listed the front brake pad as a DB1800.

But I've found that the model on my Aurion is DB1474 (rear DB1475)

Also, the highest performing brake pads I could find is the Bendix Ultimates

Ignore the Catalogue because its not listed and don't bother calling Bendix cause they don't appear to know they have it.

Ask you nearest friendly Auto-one guy to source it.

I just got mine changed.....Toyota charged me about $500 for both front and rear for the genuine TRD ones (if there is such a thing). The mechanic said they're supposed to be performance brakes so more expensive. They seem to do a pretty good job.

Toyota said the brakes on the Aurion are different from the TRD, but I haven't really looked at a TRD to confirm.

Anyway, the parts guy also said he can't sell me TRD ones without a TRD VIN number... :blink: They're really up themselves on the TRD brand aren't they? No offence intended to you though...

Anyway, Racebrakes in Victoria are able to tailor make brake pads in the RB74 "race" compound for under $200 if you ever want to go away from the TRD thingys. I've ordered a set.

Quote:

RB74 - This is a pad that's been well proven in sprint races under cars such as HSVs, WRXs and other turbo cars. Creating little wear, it gives a coef of 0.43 at up to 500 degrees C. It also works well on the street, with very good low temperature effectiveness.

The TRD ones are supposed to be Ferodo HP 1000 compound pads.

How many kms did you get out of them??

30,000kms. I haven't done THAT much hard braking with it, I suspect the previous owners (the lovely people at the Queensland Police Service) had some fun with it. I love the brakes on the TRD, they are absolutely phenomenal. Probably the best brakes of any car I've driven so far.

I can understand that but I was specifically told,

"I cannot sell you TRD parts unless you have a TRD vin..."

My parts department wont quote anything without a VIN number...

It not because they are up themselves...

It's so they know they're quoting the right part and the right price so it doesn't come back and bite them in the *****...

Yeah, I guess it all comes down to the parts department themselves. For one of them, I easily got a quote and expected order time for a part for the TRD. He simply turned the screen around and asked me to point out the part. When I was buying a replacement rear light for my Aurion and getting a quote for the mirrors (for the US forums), they just asked for my VIN to make sure there are no variances in the parts design.

Actually to further clarify, when i mean "they", its got nothing to do with the individual staff.

As far as I'm concerned, all my dealings with Toyota staff across 4 different dealerships in Sydney have been fantastic.

"they" is in reference to the policy makers which I would assume would've provided such instructions to the staff.

however, it now all makes a little more sense to not sell trd parts to non-trd owners as the trd's are no longer being produced. seems unfair to exhaust genuine parts others need

Did't realise they had wound up production, any idea why? i.e. not enough demand

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Kanga, You wouldn't believe it, I found a pump at a Victorian wrecker. He posted it to me but to the wrong address. It was 10 days before I found this out. I went to the wrong address and they said the didn't see it. Austpost is adamant it was delivered. The wrecker fortunately has another one. So, I haven't taken the old one out yet.

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      Just tested before - I think its dead. No noise - nothing. I also note that the power supply I have actually delivers a really high-pitched noise when it is on. When you connect it to something, that noise goes away. In this case, when I connect to the terminals, the noise remains. I'm going to have to get inside to look further. Unfortunately, I simply don't have the room to do a job like that. Geoff, did you have any luck getting yours out through the inspection hole mate? I'd seen a few Lexus owners actually cut the inspection hole to get this part out without dropping the tank. Each to their own, but I'm looking to avoid anything that invasive....

      Typical Price for a Replacement Key - 2000 Toyota Torago

      Just let me preface this by saying I know very little about cars in general, so apologies if I get some basic info wrong here. Ive lost the key to my 2000 Toyota Torago. I rang up a local locksmith to get a quote on a replacement key, and apparently it'll cost $1200 for two keys?? The old key didn't even have any electronics in it, it was just a basic key. Not button unlock or anything. I've gotten an electronic car key cut before and it only came to $400! This price for a key without a chip seems extortionate to me. Can someone please let me know if this price is normal, and if so why the hell its so expensive? Thanks in advance for the help! Here's all the information I think is relevant to the car (let me know if more is needed): TOYOTA TARAGO ACR30 II 16V 2.4L 2AZ-FE DOHC 16v Petrol 4cyl 115kW MPV FWD [02/00-02/06] Compliance plate / RAV entry date: 04/2000

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      On my 2002 Prado, the fuel transfer pump has a fuel filter which can block, causing increasingly less fuel transfer between the tanks. It may be the same for the Cruiser too. I have not yet had an issue with mine even at 250000km, but that is low mileage for a 2002 Prado. I hope that you have a filter that can be easily replaced. It could save you a pump replacement.

      2002 Hilux Engine Replacement

      Unless you can identify which engine your Hilux has now, you may be better off finding a good 5LE engine and return it to stock. Nice to have a Turbo diesel though. Have you tried taking a photo of the engine and posting it so others can advise what engine you have. It may be better to have your engine overhauled. If you can locate the engine number (should be on the registration papers if the engine swap was done legit), you might be able to ID the engine that way too. Do you know why the engine seized? It may be possible to overhaul your engine cheaper than replacing it.

      Transmission clunk

      Hi all, Recently completed a long drive. Check engine light came on, traction control off light came on, unable to use cruise control. Pulled immediately over all oil level were good and no leaks. then when accelerating through the gears ( automatic Prado ) hearing and feeling a clunk on each gear ( like it was hard to select). Prado is unable to go into 5th & 6th gear. Maxed out in 4th gear at 90km/h @ 2500rpm. Later in the drive DPF light came on though I have a July 2015 build. DPF introduced in October 2015 that I am aware off. Any ideas at all would be grateful!

      Yes, with 12v applied to the pump you can definitely hear it whirring if it is working. Kind regards Geoff

      Yaris Cross roof rack

      Hi all, I’m looking at purchasing a Yaris Cross GXL however I can’t seem to find any official roof rack for the car On the Toyota website it doesn’t show a roof rack protruding like the Corolla Cross GXL I know you can get roof racks that slide under the door however I don’t see any official listing Interestingly enough Toyota offer an official bike rack for the Yaris, Corolla hatch etc but not the Yaris Cross Rhino-Rack offer a third party roof rack for the “TOYOTA Yaris Cross Gen1 5dr SUV Bare Roof” but I’m a bit hesitant to use a 3rd party roof rack on a brand new car. Do you know if this would cause any warranty issues etc? Another option would be to get a Corolla Cross GXL. However the Yaris Cross would be perfect if it could have a roof rack as I don’t need the extra size, engine and price point of the Corolla Cross. Happy to hear your thoughts
