Mrs rings me up today about 7.30am and say she was at a set of lights on the way to work driving the Aurion and cops pulled up beside her in the next lane and asked her to wind the window down.

I started to stress thinking that they were going to pull her over for a defect or some thing

I asked wifey were you speeding or done anything wrong?

wifey replied no.

I then instantly started to freak out even more I then asked her did they defected you?

wifey replied no

I then asked her what happened?

Wifey replied they complimented her on how nice the car really looked and was done nicely.

what a releif in between all this I added few more gray hairs .....lol

Hey Ari,

Yes, absolutely love the look of your Aurion. My wife always gets similar comments from random people too (none from any cops though!!) and often has people staring and pointing (mainly younger males). Ours is a stock standard TRD... bought it as a family car for my wife although I don't really like to admit that (woops). The funny thing about ours is it has two baby seats in the back and we have a little "Baby on board, and in control" sign on the rear window.... she especially gets a lot of stares when she parks in the parents with prams parking spots at shopping centres and pulls two babies out of the car :-)

I have the same issue, but only with one baby in my TRD.

Alot of people have a second look when my missus is driving and parks in the pram parking spots lol. I also have a baby sign on the rear window "baby not bored".

It also catches a few eyes due to the sign writing on the side.

And yes, I let my wife drive the car. And yes, I have sign writing on the car. It maybe sacralige to do this to a TRD, but it's my family / business car and it gets attention so it's all advertising for me. :)

i get more looks in my TRD than any of my previous cars.. including my wrx which was just a big magnet for cops...

one time i was at a servo and filling up my car with fuel when i noticed two cops staring at my car... they were leaning on a normal aurion (unmarked cop car)...

as i walked past them i said "jealous?" as a joke....

long story short, they really didnt like that comment... :ph34r:

ended up in a 10min "chat" about respect and that bullsh!t... :lol:

      Need Advice please

      Hi, can anyone tell me if the shocks from a camry 2011 fit a 2013 camry? Also my car surges while i accelerate, ive changed the fuel pump and filter still does it, im wondering it could be the fuel injectors? Are they easy to clean?

      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
