Hi All

After lurking in these forums over the years it was time to join.
There is a lot of experience among the members of this club and eventually I hope to contribute to that also.

Regards

Welcome to the Forum.

Similar to yourself, I spent a lot of time lurking in another overseas Toyota Forum before joining this Forum.

Always want to read the experiences of others, both good and bad. There usually seems to be 1 pesky bolt to be overcome on the more involved DIY tasks.

Also, hope everything resolves.

Thanks for your welcoming words Carlos.
I have owned my Camry since new. For the first 4 years it was my company car then it become my wife's car, now that I am retired its our everyday shopping trolley.

Until now its been the most reliable car I have owned, and I've had a few.
The only things I have replaced was the radiator last year, a rear seat belt early this year and had the alternator reconditioned a few years ago.
Apart from that little things like interior door handles where the plastic becomes weak due to age but that will happen in any car.

Regards

Paul
