Got a problem today...

Found out I was missing four rubber O-ring gasket things that go in between the bolt and the nut that hold the rear bumper to my '03 Corolla. No sweat, I'll just go to my local Toyota dealer. Turned up to the dealer with the car, showed the sales rep the location of the part, also gave him a part number from ToyoDIY and I was told they don't make this part anymore and not available in Australia!

Came up as "N/A" on the system and my car isn't a dinosaur either... ZZE's went all the way up to 2006/07.

This is what I was talking about... http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_G_200404_TOYOTA_COROLLA_ZZE122R-AHPDKQ_5202.html?hl=9043005019

And it's location the current overseas model Toyota Auris... http://www.toyodiy.com/parts/p_G_200912_TOYOTA_AURIS_ZRE151R-DHFNPN_7601.2.html?hl=9043005019

Now using the cross references on that website, I was able to track down that the part is STILL being used on the overseas model Toyota Auris for the rear spoiler and also on the JDM Toyota E'Z for the rear spoiler also. They obviously still have it nowadays but why the hell can't my dealer get it from Japan or whatever... or did I just go to a dealer that doesn't order from overseas?

Same part number used for what looks like the rear bumper. I doubt that they have stopped getting them.

If you have one of the O rings to get some measurements from you should be able to get one from somewhere else.

Just because it comes up as N/A doesn't mean Toyota (in Japan) stopped getting them from the supplier, just that Toyota Australia don't expect to move any. No point having money sitting on shelves.

The Toyota E'Z is actually a Chinese-built version of the current Europe-only Corolla Verso. This might be a good thing though, as you will have a cheaper source for that rubber o-ring.

I'd try another dealer personally.

Worst case just order one from Amayama: http://www.amayama.c.../?q=90430-05019

After I posted this thread, I decided to contact Castle Hill Toyota because I heard a long time ago you could get JDM parts from there. Anyway, still didn't come up on their system but the person on the phone said they will contact Toyota Japan to help me out. :)

As for Amayama, they have the part! Except I haven't used Amayama before so if worse comes to worse I will try Amayama and see how they go. :)

      Head Unit with Apple CarPlay

      Did you end up getting a head unit for the Rav4? I'm thinking of purchasing one from eBay for my 2015 Rav4.

      RZN169 Poor fuel economy and low/rough idle at cold start up

      Hi all, First time writter. Long term reader. I have a RZN169r 1999 Toyota Hilux 3rzfe Manual 4WD with 425,000KM. Which we have owned from 130,000KM. Since about the 400,000km mark (it had a new/used 138,000km engine only, installed at 385,000KMs) it has been using fuel and idiling rough. I'm getting 100kms less then usual. We would normally get 450-550kms per tank. Now getting 350km-400kms. Our long term mechanic of 20 years retired a few years ago and I have no one in my local area who knows these engines or who I trust. Any sugestions on who I can take my car to? I also have no faith in my local Toyota Dealer. I'm in Sydney NSW. Thank you in advance.

      Purchasing 2014 Prado GXL - Requesting Inputs

      Hello, Thanks for reading my post. We're in the middle of the process of buying 2014 Prado GXL from a private buyer in Brisbane. It has 107K km on the odometer, we arranged an independent inspection and only noticeable issue came out of the inspection is presence of rust. Inspector said general wear (ageing) and rust to the components consistent with the age and mileage. I've attached some of the images(related to rust) from the inspection, please review and let me know if I should be concerned about any future issues or as the inspector mentioned is the rust presence is expected for a 10-year old Prado. Appreciate your help in advance. Thanks, VM

      3rd Gen (XU50) Kluger new aftermarket radio install

      Hi there sorry for the late response, The reverse guidelines are on the factory camera itself (the guidelines are turned off on the Pioneer unit as it doubled up over the factory camera lines) and if I remember correctly they still retain the angle prediction. Everything else (excluding DAB) works***. But instead of using DAB I've downloaded RadioApp which has all of the DAB stations on it and is accessible by Android Auto (not sure on Apple CarPlay though) so no biggie. I also used an adapter to retain the original GPS antenna, works flawlessly. *** EDIT *** The info on the instrument cluster may or may not show, depending on what interface you end up using. In my case I've lost the audio and navigation info on the centre screen and fuel economy/vehicle customisation screens from the factory head unit but I'm not fussed by it as there are other ways to access them on a Kluger. I think it's all retained if you use iDatalink Maestro and a compatible head unit (it will be marked as such) but besides that and DAB all other functions are still operable.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      Thanks, Mate - i'll give it a go. As you say, $15 is better than replacing a damaged headlight (not to mention the aggravation).
