My Kluger needs a battery replacement. Got a quote from a roadside assistance guy for $175/- (fitted) with a 3-year warranty for AC Delco. Is it economically fine or do I try out the AC Delco distributors for better deals?

Is any other battery recommended other than AC Delco?

Hi dominic, I recently replaced the original battery in my kluger with a ac delco heavy duty battery ,I only paid $145 at tyre power installed,very happy with it so far, if it was me I would stick with the ac delco,I had a ac delco in several of my cars over the years and they havent let me down, I would purchase it at a large tyre battery dealer,or ac delco distributor they would be the cheapest and your best bet

Thanks David for your suggestion.

Even I prefer AC Delco batteries as they are maintenance free as well. I checked with the AC Delco direct distributor here in Dandenong South and he also gave the same price of $145 with fitting and a 2.5 years warranty. For this to be done, I have to drive down a good 40-45 minutes (one-way) from where I live. The roadside assist guy who came home gave me a price of $175 with fitting and a 3-year warranty for the same battery and that too he will come home and fix it. Looking at the $30 difference, I reckon it would be worthwhile to go with him compared to driving down to Dandenong and also losing 6 months on the warranty from the direct distributor.

Your thoughts on this?

Hi dominic,sorry mate it took a while to reply,I forgot to check to see if you replied, If it was me I would go the roadside service to fit the battery, especialy if its a 45 minute journey oneway to the distributor and the roaside will come to your house and fit it for you and give you a extra 6 months warranty, that would be the way I would go mate.

Hi David,

Thanks for your suggestion. I got it done by the Roadside Assistance guy over the weekend. Just 15 minutes to get it done and no pain to drive to Dandenong and back. Plus as additional 6 months warranty. :)

Cheers,

Dominic.

      Buying 3rd hand 2010 Aurion Sportvio for $9000

      That is about the standard price you'd expect nothing crazy, I paid pretty much the same for a 2008 model with 160k on the clock. As to the high km's and maintenance, 165,000km for a Toyota is nothing to sweat about and the maintenance/repairs are pretty cheap. If it's been treated well by the previous owners and you continue to look after it then it will easily last you another 5 years.

      Removing low beam bulb 2014 Camry

      I apologise if this is an idiotic question--I've searched and watched dozens of videos on how to replace a burnt out bulb, and i'm fine with it (i've even done it before, though it was years ago). the problem is that I can't seem to get the bulb out of the 'plug'/base--it seems that that is too blindingly obvious to be explained or shown on camera. I can't remember what I did last time I replaced a bulb... I don't know if I have to push something on the fitting to release it, if i have to twist it, or just yank really hard. I've applied as much strength as I dared, but am afraid of breaking something if i try to brute force it out. I could just pay $15 for someone at supercheap to pop it out and replace it for me but it's become a matter of principle at this point... I'm unwilling to admit defeat. The photos below are from a different post on this forum, but they're the same exact kind of bulb/fitting i'm struggling with... Any tips would be much appreciated. My wife is getting really annoyed with me because we can't drive at night but i'm too stubborn to pay $15. Thanks!

      Aftermarket Air Intake

      Hey all, Just recently bought a 2007 TRD Aurion and am trying to find an aftermarket Air Intake, but am coming to the realisation that there is a very limited market for TRD Aurions. So far the only system I've been able to find is a K&N Typhoon Intake (link here: https://www.carmodsaustralia.com.au/KN-Filters-69-8611TS-69-Series-Typhoon-Performance-Air-Intake-System-Camry-35L-07-11?cq_src=google_ads&cq_cmp=18898892770&cq_con=&cq_term=&cq_med=pla&cq_plac=&cq_net=x&cq_plt=gp&gad_source=1&gclid=Cj0KCQjwpZWzBhC0ARIsACvjWRP893VLnAQsxIZJjcW5Go75b_T2N25rSWBVu6IeDziM2v41bpeyOREaAg1fEALw_wcB), however when viewing specifications for the product it states it fits Camry's from 2007-2011. Further digging revealed this product is an import from the USA hence why it's for a Camry - they don't have Aurions there. I am aware that they both share the 2GR-FE engine so I'm assuming the product will be able to be retrofitted to my TRD, provided the throttle body intake is the same diameter across Supercharged 2GR-FE's and N/A 2GR-FE's. Has anyone else in Aus had any luck sourcing/fitting one of these K&N Intakes, or know of another brand that do them specifically for the TRD Aurion's. Pretty confident in just ordering the aforementioned kit but their return policy sucks (can't return and refund if packaging has been opened, etc). Cheers guys! Jason.

      Heater problems

      My Toyota Celica SX blows cold air at the driver’s side when the heater is on, and it is an absolute nuisance. I get that it takes a while for the heater to work properly, but some reason after I have the heater on, it starts blowing out cold air even after a good warm up! I feel like the heater core may need replacing or the air conditioner/heater needs re-gassing.

      Entertainment Unit Upgrade

      Hi everyone. Just after some advice on head unit upgrade. I'm looking to upgrade the functionality of the entertainment system to do a few things - display my dual camera from my caravan, utilise the HEMA OnRoad/OffRoad module, stream to the rear screens, and include wireless apple play. I've narrowed down to the most popular which seems to be Advanced Ice, EC Offroad and Galios - but none seem to do all four functions seamlessly. Not sure if I'm actually looking for a unicorn or not...has anyone had any experience in installing one of these systems and has it done all the functions? Any regrets? Cheers Mark
