Hi

I am after designing a 3d printable version of the plastic hinge commonly used on Aussie hiluxes. They are very expensive to buy particularly for me since I live in Ireland and will be paying high shipping and import tax on them. So if you have access to a 3d printer you can download my stl file and print your own. I printed a few in PLA which is apparently not ideal with UV light but they seem to be holding up OK. I havn't bothered with the lower part of the hinge yet as it seems less prone to breakage

Nice work pineapple man. I'd probably take a guess and say that your's although not rated for U.V. will probably last longer than that of the Toyota designed and made. Looks like it broke like a biscuit. So much for quality then hey ??

The original ones don't have much material in them. Maybe 2.5mm thick for the most part and I think made of glass reinforced nylon. I tried to glue/melt the original ones back together before but this didn't work at all.

You should make more and sell them on Ebay mate. I reckon you'll sell plenty. :thumbsup:

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Thanks Martin. I thought that may have been the case. However, it seems an anomaly with so much tech on board. My wife always looks for this feature after an ugly incident while stopped at a traffic light some years ago. As you said ...perhaps an OTA update? One other thing if you don't mind me asking. What is the build date on your vehicle? The C-HR's that appeared at my local dealer in the last fortnight all have an October or November 23 build date. Thanks, Peter

      Transmission U660e

      Not every Estima is fitted with the 2GR-FE and U660e drivetrain. This is where you have to take care that information on the internet is applicable to your specific vehicle.

      Auto door locking on new 2024 C-HR?

      Hi I was very lucky to receive one of the first new models last month. My Koba is amazing- as have all of my previous Toyotas. However in answer to your question it does not automatically lock the doors when you engage Drive or when you reach a preset speed. I am very disappointed that with all of the electronic devices and safety features and the approximately 20% increase in price over the last model that Toyota Australia has left a very important safety feature out of the vehicle. We see cars being carjacked almost nightly on the news. My knowledge of technology in this sector is limited but surely it is only an update of the operating systems to fix this. The new model is a beautiful car- your wife should still buy one.

      is it possible to import US model Sienna to Australia?

      I rent a 2023 model in US just few days ago it’s beauty and real good on fuel much nicer to drive compare to Honda Odyssey which I own one 2022 model make me wonder why Toyota AUS won’t bring the Sienna hybrid to Australia instead we get bulky ugly looking Granvia with diesel engine 🤔🤔!!

      How to delete bluetooth device?

      I have a Yaris and had a similar issue. I just submitted a similar query to GPT. The response was to go into settings, view paired devices, select the device to remove, and confirm the removal. It helped me; I couldn't find the answer on the internet, but I found it there.
