Just ordered a 2015 GXL with (free CTV auto and metallic paint), nudge bar, tow bar, front/rear mats, 4x slimline weather shields,bonnet protector for $36500 Newcastle NSW.

2008 only done 17000kms (only used once or twice a month) :D

It all comes down to warranty. If something happens to your car and you cannot prove that it has had the periodic servicing then they will try to get out of fixing it under warranty.

I think you mean Toyota,and yes they will sell you them, but If the price is like the ones for my 08 Kluger $300 each not including the shrouds you wouldn't go anywhere near them.

With the cruise, could do aftermarket but I think the Corolla is not drive by wire is it.....all computerised and would want to try to use the Toyota stalk...my experience with Toyota is they pretty much install it but leave off the switch and maybe one other component.... hi phoenixrolla the fly by wire was only installed from 2005 (as i wanted to get cruise in my 2004 rolla) so you cant just plug the toyota stalk in. Best way to go is aftermarket where it attatches to the accelerator cable.

Toyota are replacing the studs that the nudgebar bolt onto the front bumper with. In turn the towing hook fits into these studs. They have said that there is an issue with the strength of the studs when towing the vehicle.

thought i would bump this thread and see if anyone managed to get rear mudflaps for the facelift. I know that Toyota don't sell rears but they come standard on the Levin.

That head unit is not from a 2008 KX-R either.

We just bought a new Corolla and we asked the dealer to include the premium plates into the contract ( no charge ) and a full tank of fuel ( thanks to this forum )

Does anyone know where i can buy foglights for the 2010 facelift as there doesn't seem to be any on ebay,thanks...

What vehicle did you trade the kluger in for?

Back in 2009 i paid $950 for the genuine towbar for a kxr and that has the connection into the wiring loom and the trailer connection (box) under the dash, so i don"t think there is any difference just because of the led lights. This was on the Central Coast NSW. I think it just depends on how much the dealers want to rip people off for the accessories (way too expensive).

Hi Princess This sounds like my 2004 commodore. The drivers side door solenoid which locks and unlocks the door failed (twice) and required replacing (luckily under warranty). The sound that the car made was to inform you that there is a problem with the locking system and requires attention. Take it to your Toyota dealer and they should replace it. Hope this helps... Ash

hi rjab i have the front parking sensors (2) and find that they are pretty much useless to me. As they point out on an angle they do not work well for anything directly in front so i find that i never turn them on.

Hi you do have to take the key to the dealership to have it programmed. Mr Minute may be able to program the key (are able to do many brands), not sure about Klugers though, but they charge the same as buying and programming a new key so no cheaper if you have your own key Ash

Hi Snowy68 My kluger has a compliance date of Nov 2008 so it's only 15 mths old, but i do recall when we first bought the car my wife said that the rear panels looked purple and we thought it was just the light until the other door switch trims started to changed. Also went back to the dealership to look at the new klugers and found the one that our new trims came from (this one had our old ones). They must be hoping that the new buyer doesn't notice (probably what happened to us).

Here is an update on the trim problem, the dealer said a foreign substance had been used on the interior and i had no claim. After many more calls to Toyota Customer Relations and the dealership, i decided to contact the group general manager of the dealership as i was sick of dealing with the "service" dept. After speaking to the general managers PA, not 15 minutes later i received a phone call from the service guy telling me they are going to replace all the affected trims from one of the new vehicles on the lot (i feel sorry for the person who buys that vehicle).It pays to speak to the organ grinder instead of the monkeys. So tommorrow i am going to the dealer to have the trims changed.Here are two photos of the discolouration:

Well i heard back from the dealer today and was told that toyota have denied the warranty claim (what the f***)No explanation given so i contacted toyota customer relations and was told that i have to be given a reason for the denial and that if i was not happy with their answer i could dispute it through them.So now waiting for a reason from toyota's technical advisor (warranties).It's not bad that you purchase a car $40k plus and they flattly refuse to fix a manufacturing fault...will keep you posted.

Hi all I just returned from the toyota dealer as the interior plastic panels around the power window switches (all doors) and the top of the rear quarter panels in the hatch area have started to change colour, from black to purple. They said they would take photos and send them to Toyota Aust as they do not want to replace them at their cost. They asked me what i cleaned the interior with as they were going to blame it on the cleaning product but i told them all i use is a damp cloth. Has anyone else noticed a change in colour on any part of the interior trim? It seems strange as my car is garaged 95% of the time, so it may be another fault to haunt the Kluger. Ash

hi nokia6670 the wires i spoke off are the ones that i used connected together using a switch and they work fine, so i can only speak from my experience of installing the fog lights (2008 kxr)

nokia 6670 the wires are pins 3 & 4 the light gray and orange ones that are seperated on the connector you have shown Ash

I will be heading down to perisher in two weeks and will let you know how my 2wd handles the snow.I'll take some pics especially if i need to fit chains on the kluger. B)

i had the same dash rattle mentioned earlier in this post which was above the radio.i removed the centre vents and found the top right bolt that supports the radio and mfd was loose (the washer was rattling).i retightened this bolt and also taped up the extra aerial plug floating behind the radio and no more rattles....so far... :)
