I'm finally I've made it to 1000ks on my clock.

I will like to know which toyota will be the best to take to for 1000ks service in melbourne? or i'll need to take the car back to Rick Wolany? (where I got it from)

I don't really want to take it there as I have a few things will like them to have a look at but they can only book me in for monday - friday as they need more time to look at my car.

Also, does all toyota charge $$$ for their courtesy cars? When I was with subaru, they just give me a car as long as they have 2 weeks notice. I was suprise toyota want $33 for it.

Hey dude, I bought mine from Rick Wolany and I get it serviced there aswell ask for Steve in Service

he is one of the most helpfull service guy I've ever met! Hes from England and has a great personality.

Tell him Nick from Toyota with the Black Sportivo sent you.

Kind regards................

Hi and welcome to our club, if I were you I would keep it going to home base (were you bought it from).

Just incase you have any warranty issues they won't hesitate to fix them, it is also good to build

a friendly relationship with them. You may need there advise in future and they will be willing

to help!

Kind regards.........................

Thanks for the welcome BlAcK JeT, i currently do take it to Toyota, but i just take to whichever dealer is convenient for me (which is Liverpool at the moment).

Should i avoid normal "garages" (only reason is because Ive had financial dealings (i fixed his banking stuff) with a guy who owns a garage in Hoxton Park, should i trust him to service my corolla?)

I agree with black jet. You need to build a relationship. Make a friend, talk to someone. If you don't then they're not going to care.

I'm lucky enough to know someone that works at a toyota so I get mates treatment anyway, but the only reason why I would drive half way across sydney to get to the dealership is because i get that little bit of extra care.

And you can only take it to MTA approved garages without voiding your warranty. If they are MTA and you trust them then I'd take it to them. Just talk to the person you dealt with and make sure they look after it.

Thanks Nick will give them a call. I've just heard a few negative stories about their service department a while back, maybe they have improved by now.

      Turboed Corolla Overbuilt?

      that engine will be fine, the rods are the main thing to be concerned about. The 2860 is a decent turbo for the 1zz but in this day and age I'd go for a G25-550. The injectors might be on the small side, we run DW1000's. You need a full length injector, the shorter injectors with adaptors like ID1050x dont fit the 1zz head. You don't need an aftermarket intake manifold, if you do go down that path, avoid the CNC innovations unit, it's garbage. Do the boost control with a MAC valve and control it with the aftermarket ECU of your choice, I use Link stuff on most of my builds with the G4x Storm as the minimum. I also wire a fuel pressure sensor and oil pressure sensor to the ECU in my installs. Use a decent intercooler, the better cores (ARE, PWR, Garrett, Vibrant, Plazmaman, Hypertune) work a lot better than the chinese stuff like Aeroflow. a 450x250-300 fits fairly well with custom end tanks to route the cooler pipes through next to the radiator Don't forget about the clutch and gearbox. These days I like the Uniclutch twinplate, Above 300whp you'll want to think about upgrading the 3rd and 4th gears in the box also with the SSC (Hollinger) gear set and install an LSD of your choice. If you're going to give it a hard time, you'll also want an oil cooler. I like the HKS thermostat type sandwich plates and setrab or mocal oil coolers with -10 speedflow fittings/lines (Chinese AN fittings neck down to a lot smaller internal diameter in their bends, not great for flow) You'll also want to think about brakes, Celica or Sportivo front calipers will bolt on with sportivo discs as a starting point. To have somewhere like Tunehouse do the work you'll want to budget somewhere between 20-40K

      Camry Touring 2010 Fuel consumption 15.2L/100km. Normal?

      I did the mathematics myself regarding costs vs benefits for fuel injector cleaner. I have changed from 91ULP to 95PULP and 98PULP. Price difference can be about 13 -20 cents. Compared to 91ULP, Premium quality fuel should have a better quality additive package designed to have superior engine cleaning capabilities so the engine can perform at their best.

      "Fuel injector cleaner is a waste of money" Only if you by the cheap crap if you use LiquMolly a German Product it does work and you won't waste your Money.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Generally, yes. In the 60s, and earlier, there were cars with positive grounds, so I'm always a bit hesitant to say the negative wire. It is always the one that bolts to the body. Herb

      2011 Land Cruiser 1VD-FTV Engine Won't Start After Overhaul

      Hi everyone, I have a 2011 Land Cruiser VDJ200 with a 1VD-FTV engine. I recently had the engine fully overhauled due to a blown head gasket. However, after the overhaul, the engine is not starting. It only cranks but doesn't fire. I've checked the following DTC codes: Internal memory EEPROM error Low rail pressure The actual rail pressure data shows: 240 bar during cranking 61 bar when ignition is off Based on these findings, I suspect the following potential causes: =Defective Diesel High-Pressure Pump =Leaking Piezoelectric Injectors =Diesel Fuel Bypassing to the DPF Circuit =Faulty Injector Drivers I'm hoping for some expert advice to help diagnose and resolve this problem I'm seeking expert advice on how to troubleshoot and resolve this issue. Any suggestions or guidance would be greatly appreciated.
