Oh what a feeling ! :D :D :D

Lucky you.

Any defects will be covered by warranty.

But don't sign for it until you have inspected the Body/Interior for damage.

Turn off your CAPS LOCK too.

hmm .. i think the new shape models were in production (and were available here in Aus) late last year... so i don't think they are very new...

Well I didn't notice any noise at first either but after about 500kms on the clock, I started noticing the noise. I'm not sure whether it was there at the beginning and I simply didn't notice it, or whether it only started making the noise later on.

Mine's May 05 build as well and the grille and headlight is still the same.

i have had my face lift 1zz for over a year so thats BS that you should have to wait for stuff like that considering its been the current model for over 12 months...

with regards to the delay in getting the parts being 6 months i think this is a ploy in hope that in 6 months u'll forget all about it......

This is what i would do ..... ring around to a few dealers and see if they have stock on hand and if they do then u know where u got it from is full of BS so then i would suggest that they contact those dealerships and get ur parts transfered over....

I mean ur the customer y should u care where they source their parts from....

Yeah you'd think all those sort of parts would be on hand as they fit all variants, not just sportivo.

I went into my dealer where I brough the car and asked for a bonnet protector at spare parts. they scratched their head abit when I said its a 2005 Sportivo. He looked through the book and hes like "oh , we dont have any to suit the facelifted model at the moment. We might have some next week or so, check back later."

I was like "buddy, you have 10 new corollas out in the yard and a sportivo in the showroom, how can you not keep stock of bonnet protectors and headlight covers???"

my friend has headlight/bonnet protectors on his 05 stivo and he got them when he ordered his car, i think the dealer saying you need to wait 6 mths is balony

I must admit that my dealership was great with all the extras I wanted, some were thrown in, others supplied at cost.

The problem I have described above occurred after I had the car for a month so and decided I wanted a bonnet protector. I went in with the cash in my hand to buy one and they didnt have one to sell me.

      Android auto

      OK. Does any of Toyota's advertising material mention Android Auto? If so then kick up a stink, with Toyota management, about misrepresentation and false advertising, reminding them of the hefty fines. Herb

      1999 Camry Driver's door locking hatch issue

      It's possible that it could be something fouling or dirt build up, dry, or a broken mechanism, so have a look and give the mechanism some lubrication, most likely though, it'll be the actuator. I found one for a good price on Ebay, $25 delivered: Front Door Lock Actuator Right Side For Toyota Camry 1997-2001 | eBay

      Query about the correct rotors for 2006 ACV40 Camry.

      Hi, I'm looking at a set of front rotors for an ACV40 2006, 2.4L Camry. I got a good price on some RDA's at Sparesbox. However both RDA8112 and RDA7686 show as for my car and I'm wondering what the difference is and if there were changes to the rotors during the model production. So does anyone know which rotor is the correct one? Many thanks in advance.

      It's a simple solution though? Already laying down 60k for a RAV4, so what's another 1k on a phone to make everything work seamlessly? 👍

      Your solution is akin to suggesting that switching to a different car manufacturer would resolve the issue. However, not everyone shares the same enthusiasm for using an iPhone as you do.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.
