Touchscreen unit for 2012 Aurion Sportivo zr6 cost
Actually I made a mistake. It's an SX6 not ZR6 so yes it has the correct touchscreen in the boot but I still have to get it installed and the aftermarket one removed. -

Touchscreen unit for 2012 Aurion Sportivo zr6 cost
I have found an Aurion 2012 sportivo zr6 model which will make a nice daily driver. Problem is the original touch screen centre unit is missing and has been replaced with some large aftermarket touchscreen that pairs with your phone. The seller showed me the original touchscreen in the boot which he says can be re-installed quite easily. Problem is the "original" touchscreen in the boot is a basic one from an ATX base 2012 model rather than the sportivo model which is far more comprehensive and includes GPS etc. The car is priced quite cheaply in accordance with it's condition. Does anyone know approx how much I will be up for the purchase of the proper replacement touchscreen unit including installation? Thanks in advance 🙂 I'm a Ford/Holden diehard who happens to love Aurions. My other car is a VF SSV and my previous car was an XR6 Turbo but I still love these Aurions...very underrated car indeed. -

Concerns about Fuel Consumption in Kluger Hybrid
I have a 2022 Kluger that started with a higher consumption but after about 1000+ km, has settled in to around 6.6-6.7 l/100km on journeys, covering up and down steep passes, and a range of conditions. I occasionally use E10 but use 95 when I can find it, along with 98. I drive to enjoy it (within the law!), so I'm not always feathering the throttle. With nudge bar, lights and roof racks, I haven't noticed an appreciable difference, the only situation that really knocked the consumption around was towing a dual axle trailer from Wollongong to SW Sydney which sent the consumption sky-rocketing due to the wind resistance of the load. -

Selling my 1972 Landcruiser FJ Pickup
THE ULTIMATE TRADESMAN The 1972 Toyota Landcruiser can cope with australia's toughest terrain. This car was a farm vehicle is rural Victoria for its first 50 years, and I’m only the second owner! It’s had upgraded wheels, exhaust and suspension, bull bar with led light bar, and a stereo/cd player added. Engine and gearbox are original, disc brakes added to the front, extractors and a Holley carburettor. New plugs, points, and ignition coil have just been replaced. It’s a convertible too, and you can remove the roof and fold down the front windscreen for summer driving. It was upgraded to full Victorian registration approximately 3 years ago with custom plates. The car is a real head turner, and everywhere it goes it commands attention. It has been in storage for the past 2 years and just isn’t getting enough driven enough. Time for someone else to enjoy her. $22,500 Call Miles 0448 650 855 https://www.carsales.com.au/cars/details/1972-toyota-landcruiser-manual-4wd/SSE-AD-17617014/ -

How to permanently turn-off lane assist
I have a new 2024 RAV4 Hybrid and the lane assist function is driving me nuts when driving on poor country roads. I've worked out how to turn most of the other annoying alarms off but this one is very persistant. Does any body know if there is a way to permanently turn this function off? Maybe even by pulling a fuse? I was about to buy the new Prado but backed out for the same reason and I'm now putting money into my old Landcruiser. thanks Phil -

Hiace 300 series 2019 V6 petrol- Spark Plug Replacement
Any mechanics or owner here that have done the sparkplugs on a V6 in the 2019 Hiace Van new gen(300). I,m a competent mechanic (Fitter and Turner in Hydraulics) and was hoping to do them myself, however after downloading the Workshop manual files it appears that after removing the throttle body and then reinstalling it (after plug swap) the TB needs to be "recalibrated". Question is, can the TB be recalibrated after i change the plugs or will the van be undriveable until the dealer plugs in and recalibrates. I really wanted to do the job myself and save 600 bucks. -
