Engine idles roughly.
Hi, Have you managed to solve this problem yet? If not I would recommend having the throttle plate and mass airflow sensor cleaned (if it has one) The 2005 COROLLA's were known to develop inlet manifold gasket leaks which is something else for you to consider. -

Landcruiser 300 power tailgate
Finally, I resolved this one: the power tailgate on the LC300 has two finger entrapment pressure strips on the side of the tailgate itself. They plug in behind the plastic trim attached to the inside of the tailgate. You can only access these plugs by dropping down the internal trim mounted to the inside of the tailgate. They are not accessible through the switch holes or blanking plate hole on the edge of the tailgate. I have found in research that some of these edges fail within the first few days of buying the car. One of edges was faulty. If when you press any close button (front, rear or remote keyfob) and hear two beeps, one of both pressure strips is activated, and therefore the tailgate will not close. It's a safety device to reduce the risk of getting trapped in the tailgate. These types of pressure-sensitive strips are used extensively on UK machinery and are generally unreliable from my experience. If you press any close button (front, rear or remote keyfob) and hear a long constant beep, it indicates the pressure strips are not connected, ie unplugged or there is a cable fault. A continuous beep beep beep indicates the tailgate is traveling, and is the normal safety warning for normal operation. The pressure-sensitive strips are fully monitored on each side and use a 4K7 resistive circuit to detect faults. So if you want to prove one is at fault, if you place a 4k7 resistor across the connections on the tailgate having already disconnected the cable to the pressure switch which is normally plugged into it, the tailgate should travel. If not plug it back in and try the opposite side. I have attached a photo of the pressure-sensitive strip which I have removed and left hanging on its cable so its easy to identify. I have also attached a photo of one of the receiver connector plugs inside the rear tailgate. -

If you have the time, then yes, I would definitely chase them. It's also the principal of the matter which bothers me. When you buy something in good faith, it is expected to meet or exceed the customer's expectation, not cause issues, time wastage and further financial losses to remedy a situation that should never had existed had the business stood by their product and made every effort to make it good by you. Around 10 years ago, I bought a leather lounge and the business owner said it had a 10 year warranty. After a couple of years, to my disbelief, the leather started to tear and stitching fall apart and the 3 seater and 2 seater. The centre of the 2 seater also sagged and collapsed in the middle. I was ropable. I went to see the shop owner and he told me, sorry, that lounge I bought only had a 12 months warranty. What a big liar. My wife was there and we both heard "10 years" I told him that if he didn't offer to help that I'd go to NCAT and that they will make him. He was so arrogant he dismissed me. That made me even more determined to get him. He didn't even seem the least bit interested to see how his lounge had failed so prematurely. It was obviously manufactured with inferior material, much like the quality you used to get from John Cootes furniture warehouse here in Sydney. Those people are next level when it came to shonky quality. They've gone out of business now. I wonder why... I researched the procedure and put together my brief of evidence and followed the plan. Long story short, the pompous p*ick didn't even bother fronting to the tribunal and so the judge settled the case and ordered him to fully refund the entire cost of the leather lounge suite. It was around $3,500 at the time. As soon as the decision was made official, his daughter called me and threatened to take me to court if I defame her father bla bla bla etc etc and that she was going to appeal the decision. Unfortunately, the poor, spoilt rich kid brat had no clue that NCAT decisions are final and there are NO appeals. So after I told her that, she knew the jig was up. A week later, I received a nice cheque for the amount. David Vs Goliath.. The victory was sweet. I ended up keeping the 2 single seaters as they were still ok and put them in another lounge room, put the 2 and 3 seater out on the nature strip which were swiftly dispatched with by the local scabs. I then went in search of a more reputable furniture shop and purchased a much better quality lounge suite which is still looking like new to this day. Still firm, no sag, thick, strong leather and stitching perfect. Good deal. So, yes. I would advise to go after them to keep them honest at the very least. -

Looks a case of them being F.O.S mate. They asked for invoices to appease you and since they've stopped communications, means they couldn't give a toss about their customers. I wouldn't do business with them ever again and others should be made aware of this company's lack lustre customer support. -

Change Low Beam Headlamp on 2003 Corolla...
...Seca Levin ?hatchback. Hi All... I was asked to change the blown low-beam bulb on the RH light for this vehicle. Usually, such a thing would not be a problem - I've changed heaps on different vehicles before - but it not being my car, I looked it up on YT first. NOT ONE of the many videos showed exactly this model, and some said I needed to take off the front guard, while others showed the bulb replacement from just behind the light assembly. I can't do the latter method because on the RHS I crash into the power brakes assembly and there's just no room to move your hand, so I'm suspecting it's removing the panel !!! Question: Can anyone verify what I should be able to do? Thanks, M. -
