P0303, rough idle, check VSC message.
This thread is worth a reading and consideration of what needs to be removed either as a minimalist approach or the most beneficial. Recent post by ZZT86 is a great example of an unexpected bonus to reveal an improperly installed gasket during manufacturer assembly. -

Hi Tony. I'm happy to wait. Aurion has just ticked over 172,500 and plugs aren't due until 180,000 so plenty of time. -

I'll be doing my plugs at some stage in the near future. You can count on a detailed DIY from me, if you're happy to wait. -

Rattle noise from Tailgate
I feel your pain. I've had issues like that in the past and it drives me mental. I doubt you'll ever get it to sit flush and have zero clearance without gluing it on, which is impractical, but My solution would be to buy a roll of double sided tape, say 20 or 30mm wide and 1mm thick and cut out strips and stick the pieces either to the back of the plastic panel or to the metal tailgate. Leave the other side unpeeled and this will act as an insulator and stop the loose plastic interference slapping the metal. Also, while you have it off, check for any wiring loom in there that could also be a source of rubbing or slapping the inners. Apply the pieces to the majority area of the flat section. That's where you noise will be the greatest. Hope that helps. Let us know how you go. -

Rear Tail lights - LED or normal bulbs
I'd hazard a guess and say yes. Depending on model I suspect. You may have to just dig into it anyway and learn more about it for your own knowledge. I saw a tail light for that model for sale on ebay and it looks to have a four pin plug. It could well be a connector for an LED array as it didn't appear to be a bulb socket either. Do you have the factory owners manual ? That could shed some light on it. -

Converting my corolla into a Sportivo
My immediate thoughts were, "good luck finding original Sportivo parts". It seems you've done well to find the hard to get bits, especially the front lip. I'm assuming it's original. You didn't mention anything yet. Nice little project. Car looks great mate ! -

ECU Error P1660. What is it?
Yeah, I've been hovering for the last couple of years mainly due to being so busy with a shed project at my place. It took so long for a number of factors, but mainly because it was an owner builder D.A. project and undertaking the construction side by myself, it took a lot of time and all of my energy. I was always too tired to be able to sit at a desk and visit all my forums. I tried here and there, but it was too much. I'm on the downhill run now, not much left to do, and so I have been able to get back in touch. I am considering doing a write up of my shed saga and post it in the general section. So, mice in the engine bay ? Not good. They like to chew and pee on everything. Good you caught it now and be able to take some action. -

Rattle noise from Tailgate
I have a 05 Zze and I have a issue where the tailgate plastic trim slaps against the body and rattles, any tips to make it sit flush like normal or to kill the noise, I have bought 3 new ones and have the same issue each time, 100000% sure it’s causing the issue as I put a couple spots of blutac as a softener and the noise is gone for but I want it to sit flush like it used to.
