2008 Aurion Presara-Timing Belt/Chain ?
The 2GR-FE engine has a timing chain. If the engine is properly maintained with regular oil and filter changes using a quality brand name engine oil, then the chain should last the lifetime of the vehicle and not need to be changed. Have a look at some YouTube videos. There are paint markers on the chain and they are indicators when they become faded/hard to see that the timing chain needs to be replaced. -

GEN1 Rav4 Bullbar
Hello Barbender, I have a 1994 Rav4 with a nudge bar so they do make them. Where in QLD are you?, I am close to Brisbane if you want to have a look at it. Is your Rav4 a 3 door or a 5 door?. -

Auxiliary Position To Listen To Radio etc
Thanks Tony I understand, I pushed start button once and gained access to auxiliary to listen to radio etc. The Sat Nav is not the easiest to work out, I have sat nav in my Territory which is easier to work out than the Aurions. I will play till I get it right. Thanks -

Auxiliary Position To Listen To Radio etc
That's the old school term for position II. The one just before you start. In the older cars, you had all the warning lamps come on with position II ignition. They were red lamps. Nowadays, the dash cluster is more like a Christmas tree. I just call it "reds" -

Hi Ace front interior light
OK, I had to remove this lens, come hell or high water. I started to pry it off, with a set of special hook pries, starting from the windscreen out. It came off, with a bit of reluctance. After it was off I saw that there are 4 tabs that hold it on, see picture. I didn't like what I found. The bulb was floating around loose, in the lens. There was a self tapper screw across one of the terminals, so off with the assembly. Whilst fiddling with it I created a spark (probably blew a fuse, somewhere) so now to find the battery. Again everything about looking after a battery, but no info on where it is located. Ultimately found a UTube video which shows where it is, underneath the sink cupboard, as this is a motor home conversion. Gave up for the day. Herb -

Hey just joined the Toyota Owners Club and still struggling to deal with it. Not the fact that I’m a member but that I’m now the proud owner of a 2005 Corolla 5 door Hatch. Can’t believe how much I want to pimp this new beast up. Having owned and driven mainly BMW’s for the past 20 years and spent a lot of time under the hood because that’s the joy of owning a German car to now spending time just looking at my dark blue Corolla and thinking of ways to personalise her/him/them. Maintenance will be far simpler for this little beast. My daughter currently drives it around after spending the first 4 months of being a new P plate driver driving my old 330Ci convertible with an in line 3 litre 6 cylinder to now buzzing around in a small but cute Japanese pocket rocket with 1.8 litres made up over 4 cylinders under the bonnet. Together we intend to source some big wheels, big rear spoiler, sexy large diameter exhaust tips, a dark window tint and maybe some sort of sound system that handles base. But first we intend to replace the rear bar cover as it’s damaged whilst the rest of the car is in very good condition both paint and panel wise. Maybe some reverse sensors while the bar cover is off. A new set of gas struts for the lift gate to stop it dropping and a new roof ariel which is broken can be done next week and maybe we can investigate how to retro fit some power windows because it’s a drag leaning over to wind down a window. We purchased this cute beast from a friend who bought it new back in 2005. A full service history , 165,000km on the clock, 11 months registration and a full tank of petrol. What more could you want for $3,000. -
