Sounds like you are putting dunlop factory tyres, I tried those and got 32k out of them. It seems the aurion is harsh on tyres (sx6) compared to my camry which tyres (hankook) would go 90 to 100k.

Nothing of the sort -

finished the factory tyres @ around 30~35K Km

Mounted RE001 and then at around 60-65K km replaced them with Goodyear Excellence.

Just got the car serviced 75K Km, and the dealer commented the tyres were in Fair condition.. :-p

Dang - and just got dealer serviced to the tune of $350--WTF!??!

I guess they used gold instead of oil.

It has only just dawned on me that after 50,547km of driving, my two rear Dunlop Sport Maxx tires are the original tires that came with the car out of the factory. They aren't even on their wear indicators yet.

Considering all the mountain runs I've done combined with my driving style, I'm quite surprised that I managed to get this much distance out of a pair of tires. They have spent 10,000km on the front of the car as well.

I'm on 65,000K and still using factory tyres. These things never want to wear out. Still heaps of decent meat on them.

Yeah, but you most likely don't drive like I do. Remember... I went through a set of Adrenalins in 18,000km.

hahaha, come on man. I don't granny the car that much! I do give it a decent boot from time to time. But purchasing BP98 all the time really does keep my foot easy on the accelerator. Don't want to go through my premium fuel too quick :lol:

can anyone tell me what the 0-100 of this clip is? Thanks :whistling: :whistling: :whistling: :whistling: :whistling:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VL5kK8-rIBc

An AT-X/Touring/Prodigy accelerating down a slight downgrade from the looks of it :lol:

6.08 seconds for the speedo reading to go from 0-100 (marked on the speedo), but if you count it properly which includes the time taken for the car to initially start rolling (indicated by the increase in revs before the speed picks up), then it is 6.71 seconds from 0-100 (speedo measurement) from the moment he puts his foot down.

No downward slope. It's a flat freeway. Prodigy don't have that type of speedo. They have the blue looking one. Would turning off traction control do any difference?

No. I've posted reasoning for this earlier before but really can't be bothered digging it up.

The acceleration there is normal for pretty much any N/A Aurion. Remembering 100km/h marked on the speedo isn't exactly 100km/h. An actual speed of 100km/h would be at about the 105-110 mark on the speedo. So realistically, your 0-100 time is normal at about 7.1-7.3 seconds.

Anyways, take it to the drags if you want a proper time. Won't get the 0-100km, but you will get the details that matter.

Bored to tears with work and want to try something new, but have invested many years here and only about 2 years away from long service (10 years)

If I get made redundant now, company policy means that I will get almost a year's payout..

HOW THE HELL DO I GET MYSELF MADE REDUNDANT? Any suggestions?

If you're only 2 years away from getting long service, you're probably entitled to have it paid out pro rata when you leave, just like with your annual leave.

The only way to become redundant is if your employer decides they no longer want your job to be done by anybody, or if they go down the tubes.

Try and hang in there mate if you can...i was in the same position a few years back,wanted out but still had 18mths before long service was due,i waited kept my mouth shut and i must admit it wasn't easy but after 19mths and a few days i pulled the pin and they paid me out,and it's a decision i've never regretted.

finacially it was the smart option and also looks good on my resume. :D

      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

      FUEL WARNING MESSAGE

      I've just got a price from Toyota up here in QLD for the whole replacement unit... (OUCH!!!! 😭) I would share more information on my investigation so far, but apparently, I am a spam bot and can upload pictures, but not write the story to go with it.... without being pulled up for it...... I can tell you that I am getting no suction on what I believe is the fuel line from the sub to main tank. I am however getting 13v on the fuel pump connection. It comes on for a moment before going off. I'm guessing because of this error. Perhaps the rail stops delivering power..... My next step is to apply 12v to the pump and see if I can hear it in the tank making any noise. Surely, I'd be able to hear something with the car not running - if it is working?

      Hilux 2.7 1998 has knock in motor

      A recently purchased 2.7 hilux seemed okay, but when started up (warm) a clunk happened then a loud knock started. The coolant drained out, perhaps into the engine, but being unfamiliar with the vehicle I am unsure what has happened. Any suggestions and possible remedies would be appreciated. Higgyboys

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Chiming in from the States here, I have a question. I am assuming your Kluger's have the same UA80 transmission as we do? When you say the transfer case was replaced, was it the physical "transfer case" or the transmission? We have similar issues here where the UA80 starts "whining" needing a complete transmission replacement.
