The windscreen wiper blades on my 2003 model Camry is due for replacement. Can someone recommend one that can fit. ie brand and model number. I don't want to change the whole assembly but just the rubber part of it. How much are Toyota selling them for?

Try K Mart or Super Cheap Auto.....Wiper blade stands usually have a reference chart for what blade fits what make vehicle. For memory theres a 4 or 6mm track width..?

the MTEC wipers are really good. Bought them several months ago. 18" & 20" , they have them in Black,Silver,Red n Blue.

or you can buy those universal rubber from K-mart for $5 (but they're ok, but wont last long though)

I have a 2003 Camry and replaced the blades with after an market brand. Take a blade along to a Spares Shop and compare profiles. The camry profile is fairly specific and the exact profile is available at some stores, but not at Supercheap Autos as the brand that they push does not produce that profile.

As with all aftermarket blades, they will be longer than necessary and need to be cut to suit.

leasaunce - where did you buy those blades from? eBay? Autobarn? Super Cheap?

and how much?

On a slight side note. Everytime I get rego done on my car, they always change the wiper blades. I change them like 3 days before I goto get the inspection done and they still demand to change them!

I show the inspector that I just bought them, and they still demend a change. I have told one bloke to give me keys, i'll drive my car out of the workshop and go somewhere else, didn't pay him for his time. I went to Toyota to get it done (thinking it would be a like going in a anus exam), 10mins, all paper work submitted online, $32 later, happy man :D

Do places think i'm stupid?

They check your cars now that you do your rego? Is that a NSW only thing? This kinda sucks that you have to bring your car in for an inspection before getting a rego, tho it might be a good excuse to get a few hours off work :whistling:

yeah, its fcuked

Ah learn a new thing everyday!! Clearly don't see the point of enforcing wiper blade changes tho. I mean I don't see the authorities "profiting" from this exercise, unless they get some sort of kickback from wiper companies <_<

Does anyone know a cheap place to get replacement blades for Toyota Aurion. Some *&%$ thought they'd help themselves to mine. The new blades look like AUDI ones and Toyota said they don't have a problem replacing them.....for $84 freakin dollars....What a RIP....

If I catch the idiot who nicked my wipers...I'm gonna glue the wiper on him....

Mine does it for $30 ;) But he has worked on my car previously (replacing rear sway bar bushes) and just prints out a brake readout from his machine and sends me on my way :]

      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.

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Disconnecting batteries, ALWAYS disconnect the ground wire first. Doing this will also disconnect power, in general. Herb

      Disconnecting winch, lightbar and UHF

      Hey guys, I’m wanting to disconnect my current winch, lightbar and UHF as I have new plans. I’ve installed a winch previously on another car so I get it’s a case of following the cables and disconnecting from the battery, etc but but safety wise, should I start by disconnecting the battery so the cables aren’t live orrrr? And if so how do it go this haha?

      Snapping wheel and axle studs

      Put a set of standard wheels on it and your problem will disappear. It is critical that the hole in the wheel centre is a snug fit on the axle boss (without wheel nuts fitted). If your wheels are sloppy on the axle boss this allows excess force on your wheel studs and they will break, as yours are doing. If you are unsure of what to do, go to a reputable tyre shop and get assistance.

      2zz idle / roughness when accelerating past 3k

      Hey everyone was hoping someone might be able to point me in the right direction with this issue I've been facing for a while now. My Celica's idle will drop down to almost 200rpm when stationery after hitting operating temperature. Pretty much feels like it's about to stall out but never actually does. When taking off from a set of lights it almost feels like it hesitates or is down on power and then all of a sudden it lurches forward and gets a boost in power again. Then again around 1,500-3,000rpm it feels down on power and in what I can only describe in the engine feeling scratchy. Past 3,000 rpm it gets a little boost in power again but still definitely feels down on power compared to what it used to be and still has that roughness. Note lift is also not working at the moment but I have changed the lift bolts, planning on cleaning the VVT and VVTL-i OCV's New engine mounts have been installed I changed the MAF sensor about 4 years ago albeit not OEM. After doing some research my main ideas now would be a New MAF this time OEM, TPS, IACV or Coil Packs (Changed plugs 50,000km ago) Any other suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!! :)
