We just bought a new Toyota Corolla 2014 Sports in Palmerston NT and had rear park sensors by the Toyota dealership ...Pick up the car today but the sensors are so soft and quiet we have to concentrate very hard to hear them. Has anyone else had this problem can the volume be turned up.. We rang the dealership straight back and they suggested that perhaps something wrong with our hearing, which did not go down well. But they have agreed to have a look into the problem but no one is going to be available to do so for a few days yet.

On our previous car we had reverse sensors installed after market by a local business in Darwin and they were excellent very clear and fully served there purpose.

But the toyota dealership installed sensors are totally inadequate. I do hope they have adjustable volume.

Have a look where they installed it and if you can see a black box with all the wires connected , there a a screw that you can adjust the volume to make it louder.

Or take it back to Toyota and get them to adjust it for you

      Kakadu GVM

      Help/advice please!! I have just purchased a 2021 Kakadu which has bull bar/extra battery and now have my kids car seat, roof racks on board too. took it over the tip scales and it came in at 2,680kg with myself, missus and our son…which is as many people as we plan to carry.. BUT fuel tank was not full AND it’s the model with 150l tank so 150kg capacity/potential. we are picking up a newly ordered caravan with 2,450kg tare/ 3,000kg max which I therefore assume will add a 245kg-300kg tow ball weight to our Kakadu’s gvm…is this correct? As if so we would be well over with a full tank of fuel and then surely we are un-insurable even if we don’t fill the fuel tank? looking for advice before i ditch the Kakadu for a Landcruiser or Defender! I could remove the bull bar ($3,000) and remove the 3rd row of seats ($300) to come up with an other 75kg or so but doesn’t seem worth it….any advice/thoughts? thanks Quote

      Hi, I'm Magazi in NSW I'm a new member

      I have a 2002 Corolla 1.8L ZZE-122R, Engine 1ZZ-FE Jap. I have 2 different scan tools {Jaycar Protech PP2147 & Actron AutoScanner CP9576). Both scan tools say DATA ERROR Connection, have tried scan tools out on 3 other different cars and all is OK with the scan tools,just got the car back from the mechanic and he says there is no problem with the OBD data connection. Can anyone point me in the right direction as far as which scanner would work. Thanks Maga

      How to reset service interval light

      Anyone know exactly what the little spanner light means and how to reset it? Best info I have so far is that this is the service interval light. The trouble is I don't know how to reset it. Instructions given say, press and hold the odometer button. There isn't one. There's the "display" button on the steering wheel but that does not reset the little orange spanner warning light.

      Tyres

      Bob jane and tyre power both said these are not recommended and they wear very quickly? They suggested the Michelin xm2+ or the toyo proxes c100? but have read bad reviews on those

      1998 Toyota Celica Pricing idea

      One of the only things working against (or for, depending on your viewpoint) the ST204 Celica is that a bunch of them were probably crushed as a result of not being able to source replacement airbags during the Takata recall (a similar fate befell the Starlet). I don't think all models had that particular airbag though so it probably disproportionally affected certain trim-levels too. This might artificially inflate the rarity of what was generally seen as a nondescript uninspiring 90s hair-dresser "sports car" that still sold reasonably well.

      Rattle on engine start

      I have the same vehicle. I normally use Nulon Ultra 5w-30, replaced every 5000km. I notice this issue as the car approaches the 5000km mark. Come to think of it I used to use 10w-40 Nulon and I don’t remember it making the noise as much.

      ^^ Perish the thought of Potenza Sports for your car, not available in your size. Get the RE003, good compromise of performance & grip, currently on special !
