White - Just ticked over 50k

ex lease veichle, mine had the rear spoiler on it already (I think it makes a huge aesthetic improvement)

I have since got the factory mats and boot liner (highly recommend) put a towbar on it and got some rhino racks for the kayak

The consumption is exactly the same as my 1995 V6 camry that I sold to buy this.

It sits at about 12L/100km give or take.

Yep, Another Gen 1 owner here!

2006 CVX, Blue/Grey (not sure on the official colour name), just ticked over 50k doing a run down to Busselton (WA). Did the whole wine tour deal through margaret river with four adults and three kids. Very happy with the handling in the wet on the winding roads loaded up with seven people and day luggage.

Can anyone tell me if there is logic behind the overdrive button defaulting to on, then once disabling it a light appears on the dash with "overdrive off". I just presumed it would default to off and you would have to engage once you hit cruising speed. On occasion ill forget when you first start the car to disable the overdrive and it is noticeably sluggish. Shouldnt the light come on to alert you to a function being active?? Im may be overlooking some reason if someone can point it out or advise if the default can be reversed!

Has anyone come across a tried and tested accessory to link up an Ipod to the factory stereo in the CVX? I bought the top of the range Belkin FM tuner/charger with "Clearscan" but it is still very average.

Thanks all

If you want to retain the factory head unit - the only option i know of is to use a tape to 3.5mm plug adapter thingy, much better quality than an FM transmitter

HI All i have a 05 CV with 96,000 km on the clock. White in colour with rear parking sensors and cargo barrier. Very happy with the Kluger. Last weekend took it for a trip to Sydney and the avg L/l00 km came in at 9.4 on BP 98 octane.

I am a little concerned with the price of parts for the Klugers they are a lot more expensive then most cars i have owned in the past so look after your ride's well. :rolleyes:

head to your local wreckers... you may be able to pick up a Toyota 2din with Bluetooth, and MP3 playback... some have an AUX in, on the front.

All I can say is EBay - there are quite a few toyota genuine parts on there from time to time.

Filters, roof racks, headlight covers, mats, tow bars, replacement keys etc

Another Gen 1 owner here... 2006 Kluger Grande. 70,000km on it so far. Bought it second hand 4 months ago (ex-lease). I had always driven a Holden Commodore / Berlina / Calais before. Fuel consumption seems to be around 13-15L/100km, but the Holdens gave me 18-20 for the same sort of drives (stop-start traffic on the way to work). Haven't really taken it off-road so far.

      Rattle noise from Tailgate

      I just took it off and no noises at all, is it bad to leave it off I just have a subwoofer in the boot and nothing else

      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.
