So last night it appears that when I flashed my headlights the dipped lights went out. It's only intermittently doing it at this stage.

I did a quick google and suspect it's likely to be the headlight switch/stalk. How easy is this to replace? Is it worth getting it done at Dealership?

I've replaced one previously on an older car and was quite simple Just not sure on this one.

In the meantime I managed to take sandpaper to the contacts on the switch hoping it's a quick fix.

2006 Yaris is the car, don't suppose there was a recall for this 😃

Thanks in advance

      AURION or CAMRY V6 ???

      Hi Steve, No not tried any of the latest Camry's all I know is if he loves the Aurion which I can see no reason why not they are brilliant cars maybe he should look for a higher level than the ATX, for power and handing the Sportivos rock, or if he wants class then Prodigy or Presara that way he gets the best of both worlds. There are quite a few around on the market but these days they do go for quite a bit with new car delays kicking up the prices of second hand. at dealers. I love our 2009 Presara as it is always a total pleasure to sit in drive and just enjoy that power every now and then for fun.

      AURION or CAMRY V6 ???

      Hey guys. Got a friend who loves his Camry's & is looking to update his current car, a 2009 Camry. I let him take a spin of my car (2016 ATX) & I couldnt get the smile of his face ! He loved the power LOL but thought the interior was a bit plain & boring (fair enough it is a bit). He was initially looking at the XV70 Series Camry as he likes the look of them & the interior is a bit flashier too, but now he doesnt know after driving the Aurion. Anyway, he ended up taking a 2019 V6 Camry with the 224kw 2GR-FKS for a test drive too, at a Toyota dealer. Strange thing, he reckons the Aurion goes ALOT harder than the XV70 Camry V6, even though it has a more powerful engine. He said he almost couldn't feel any power compared to my car ?? But overall he reckons it is a nicer car to drive. But I think he may have got a bit addicted to the power, as he wanted to take my car for another drive LOL I suggested looking at a higher spec Aurion than mine if he wants the power but something "less boring", so I will how he goes. Just wondering if any you guys here driven the 70 Series V6 Camry too & can compare to the Aurion. Why would it feel slower ? Any recommendations ? Thanks in advance...........

      LN106R - compatible cabin blower fan motor ?

      For anyone with a similar question in future - yes the newer version of the blower fits and works fine (and silently 🙂 ) I got the PN 194000-0332 https://www.rolan.com.au/denso-blower-motor-for-toyota-hilux-ln167-em0330.html?gclid=Cj0KCQjwj_ajBhCqARIsAA37s0w_cRKSAyaeVCSr8cam0tDdsQicoOkBsBo-tx8LMlJuotWl-yC6VEUaAqBSEALw_wcB

      Head unit sd card issue

      G'day NZKicks, I'm just trying to get my unit in a Toyota Corolla going, the card was lost. Just bought 32Gig SanDisk and transferred the files straight onto the Card as it was formatted already to FAT32. Didn't work. I then ran through your instructions and created a 4Gig partition and formatted that only for Fat32.. Loaded the four files straight onto the 4Gig partition and still no luck. Files are: EB.DAT MM.DAT RG.DAT SS.DAT I've now deleted/cancelled the 4Gig partition and loaded the files straight onto the 28Gig section.. No luck also. Damn, this sounded too easy.. Tech stuff (I studied 3D animation) can get very specific and one thing wrong is a no-win. Is there anything I'm missing here that you can see? Thanks in advance

      2017 Kluger AWD. Noise in Cabin - Bearing/Diff. Not Sure.

      Well conclusion to this was....... Toyota covered it out of warranty and the noise is gone. Back to its normal self. We did also buy a Holden Acadia to replace our secondary car (VE Commodore) as having the Kluger go down was not good for our family. So we needed a second 7 seater. We'll be keeping the Kluger .... depsite this failure it's still a great car and props to Toyota for covering it.
