Okay, seeings no one has really kicked anything off just yet here is some "blank space" to start planning our next meet-up! Since I couldn't make the last cruise I am keen to catch up with you all again, so has anyone got any suggestions?

Thinking we could make this maybe the 7th of March?

** Update 05/03/10

So it's been decided that we will be having a cruise on Sunday the 7th March :D We will kick off from Hurstbridge again and use part of the cruise route from last October, heading up to Kinglake, then Healesville, then to Marysville and stopping for lunch there, then down to Warburton and back into the city through Lilydale. We will then be winding up somewhere in the city for dinner.

Please meet up at 10:30am for an 11am SHARP departure from our meeting point at the McDonald's restaurant in Diamond Creek (just before the railway line) (Location details in the route map available for download below)

You can download the cruise route here: http://www.gcompservice.com/tocau/TOCAU%20...Cruise%20V3.doc

Attendance list so far:

1. Tofuboi - Cruise (No Dinner)

2. Tash - Cruise & Dinner

3. 1stKill - Cruise & Dinner

4. Guni - Cruise & Dinner ** Maybe not now **

5. SportivoPSI - Cruise (No Dinner)

7th March sounds good....should have my new shoes sorted by then. ;)

We could always go bush/country for this one,say up towards Bendigo way,anything worth doing up there/good photo ops...looks towards Tash? Also we could stretch our legs a bit more in this part of the state,just a thought.

We could do the same route we did for last year end. I reckon that's a good run.

:lol: :lol: :lol:

Well I wouldn't mind doing that this time around because I get the Monday off (Labour Day public holiday) to recover :) Cos that cruise is a good 7hrs+ worth of driving for me when you include the trip down from Bendigo and back home again.

Excellent, well we will lock in the date then :D Looking forward to seeing those new shoes too!

That's a pretty good idea Lee, I'd have to get my thinking cap on for some roads; there is some very pretty countryside but not many good twists and turns. My knowledge of NE Vic is better than around Bendigo as that's where I grew up, but that's too far to travel. How about the cruise route that was abandoned for last year's meet? I.E. to Marysville?? Could do what we did for the October meet last year and start off down near Hurstbridge and go through King Lake up to Marysville.

I'd love to see a whole heap of people come along in all different makes and models! round everyone possible up i say!

Me too - would be great to see all the 'regulars' again as well as those who have been unable to make the first few. If everyone could spread the word that'd be awesome :D

*jacks up the suspension and gets the rally tyres going*

Right, whos up for that Rally Stage again? Come on Guni I know you want to. :P

Okay, on a real note. Going up to Marysville might be a good idea as the roads leading that direction were quite good. (Even if I did almost fall off the side of the bloody cliff, dodgy freakin' narrow roads.)

Tash and I already discussed that we're not allowed to go on my windy road near my house in Sunbury as that's where I busted two rims and Tash doesnt want to try it. :P But a drive up this direction wouldn't go astray. If only we had a good place to go...

Oh well count me on for that weekend anyway! Oh I know! EPIC WEEKEND LONG CRUISE! :P

...no. :P

Hmm - not sure how it would all work out, we'd probably meet somewhere in the morning (10 or 11) to kick off the cruise and then be back in Melbourne in the afternoon. Guess we could maybe finish up at the good old Garage Cafe for a feed at night?

Has anyone got the original route I think Andy put together for the Marysville run?

Well because I totally work at a douchebag company where we don't get the 8th off work. (Think telephone and the letter T :P)

So i may have to bail on the garage cafe at the end depending on how we're doing.

Will keep posted tho.

Oh and I have a 21st the night before, so im gonna pull up nicely ;S lol

Of course you can come along! Would love to see you there :)

Hey tash, any set plans on the route yet with just about 3 weeks or so to go?

Hey well not really - I'd like to do a run to Marysville via Kinglake, what does everyone think?? I do not want to lead this time though so am leaving that up to someone else but if need be I can put a map together again.

So yeah, I'm putting the call out to someone to be up front for this cruise and we also need a starting point. And as Lee said, no excuses this time people, lets get a really good turnout!

Okay - this isn't set but more a rough plan of what I'm looking at putting together. Check out this link and let me know your thoughts:

http://maps.google.com.au/maps?f=d&sou...234589&z=10

The idea would be to meet at Hurstbridge again and kick off, then we go to King Lake, Healesville, Marysville and then down to Warburton and ending up coming back into the city through Lilydale - one of you Melbourne boys will definitely need to lead this part please.

Then we go to the Garage Cafe in Carlton to have a feed and wind down afterwards :)

      Wobble at the front

      Vibration under acceleration is quite commonly due to a failing CV axle. I had it happen on my old Aurion where coasting would be fine and under acceleration/load it would start to vibrate quite violently.

      Brake issues

      Had the rear rotors machined. So far have travelled under 10k kms and the problem has come back, albeit not as bad. Will have a chat with the guy who machined the rotors and DBA also. Maybe need to replace with genuine Toyota items.

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      Hi Ross, we have a 2013 Landcruiser. Played with various oils and concluded that 5W30 Synthetic is the best option. Nulon seems to be on special often, GW is also good. Castrol Magnatec not really suitable for a diesel. Penrite is also good but try and stick to a full synthetic. No real need to change oil at 5000 Kms unless you worked the engine towing. I found that the oil level dropped when using the gearbox to slow down like you do in a manual. Other then that no oil use at 140k kms. Best oil is AMSOIL, but unduly expensive. Controversial but I swear by it is a 'catch can'. If you don't have one, get one but the right one for the car. Initially I was skeptical about its purpose but am sorry I did not get one from the beginning (new). If you check the design of the engine, the cam chain run just below the PCV valve. IMHO this promotes oils being flung into the PCV valve and hence the inlet tract. A catch can will catch that oil - no pun intended.

      rear wheel arch hole covers (3rd row seats removed)

      I ordered the Booxe Gap Caps from South Africa. Way better quality than the ones from Nautica. A little more expensive but looks way better installed. FYI one 3rd row seat weighs 15.4kg's that's a weight saving of nearly 31kgs with both removed.

      2013 Kluger grande Bluetooth music issues

      I have a 2011 Grande and it is not possible to play music via the bluetooth without using the aux connection. I bought this product which makes it a wireless bluetooth experience. https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0BG2GMH8S?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_fed_asin_title This device connects to your phone via bluetooth and connects to the car via the aux connection. For me, once the car starts it all connects up, I say Hey Google, play music and the car plays music without having to connect my phone to any cables.

      2010 MANUAL Prado with high speed acceleration hickup

      I have a 2010 manual Prado with 196,000 km that has excellent service history Injectors were done at 130,000 km and today I replaced the fuel filters as a first step for this issue. The car pretty well drives perfectly and I have no issues with it Other than if I'm sitting at 110 km an hour and put my foot down it hesitates for a second like a cough. It only does it at this speed. If I'm sitting on 100 and accelerate it doesn't do it and same with any other speeds like 60 or 80 put my foot down it's fine, only does it at 110. Any ideas or help would be appreciated. Thank you

      Fuel filter change - start stops running

      We recently completed a service a few weeks ago. Following this, a warning light indicated water in the filter. We replaced the filter, but subsequently encountered starting issues. After replacing the battery, the car eventually started. However, after running for about five minutes, it stalled as if it had run out of diesel. We have primed the filter, engine starts but then car stops again. Any advice would be greatly appreciated

      Best Oil for 2014 Lancruiser GXL 200 series TT V8 Diesel

      My 2008 Sahara has 630,000 km on original engine and injectors. I run Gulf Western Top Dog 10w 40 semi synthetic oil, spec is CJ4 low Ash . Last EGR inspection at 400,000km revealed no soot. Engine still has same oil pressure as new and great fuel economy....Top Dog oil is for heavy duty truck diesel engines, not cheap but neither is a new engine..20K plus.
