  1. thanks guys. these are still ok for parking lights, ha?
  2. Hi Guys There are some LED/SMD based products to replace H7 globes available on ebay. Has anyone used them? are they any good? are they street legal for low beams? cheers
  3. Guys, I think I may have resolved the problem (what would i be without you!) As BKS mentioned that this might as simple as the tyres and TJ sed that the Michellin Energys are known to have issues, I included "a rotation of the tyres" as the 1st thing on my diagnostic flowchart. As i did the rotation this afternoon, the whirling noice somehow changed its charactaristics. ie. noise doesn't kick off at around 70km/h anymore, souce of noise moved from front to somewhat back, steering left or right has insignificant impact on the noise intensity etc. So I think (and i hope i m right) it would be the tyres. I still have to do some more trials at highspeed to be completely satisfied!!! But like i said, What would I be without you guys!!!!! As an added bonus, I also identified the source of engine oil leak! its from the oil sump seal (I believe there is no gasket, right?). so it would be easy to fix. Now, the next thing is the drivers side headlight! it has condensation during rain or carwash. I have checked for any cracks or holes and found none. do you think its the seal? btw TJ, which one is it (just in case if I still needed to drop by)? 1.

  4. Hi TJ, sounds good!!! whereabouts in Hornsby are you? BlackNight, My tyres are the factory ones: Michellin Energy. car has only 34000kms on the clock Scary stories from the USA: http://www.toyotafans.net/2003-corolla-tra...ssion-t3022.htm
  5. hmm, I would be better of starting with the least expensive one: Tyre rotation, yea? by the way, I mentioned that the car was previously in an accident...! And the car leaks engine oil too (the size of two 50 cents area overnight, not much). bad bad experience!!!
  6. Problem background: regardless of which gear I am on (2nd,3rd,4th, 5th or even on neutral), when I hit 70Km/h and above, there is a humming/whirling noise coming from the front. if i steer slightly towards left, the noise goes away. The noise increases while sheering right. Now, Fellas! I took this to one mechanic and he reckons it’s the front right wheel bearing and/or hub. I took my car to another mechanic. He checked and thought the problem is within diff/gearbox assembly. He thinks it’s a damaged bearing within the diff. and Not in the wheel bearing/hub. I am confused.. which one is it? I bought the car about a month ago privately and just told by my mechanic that the car was previously in a major accident (he looked underneath the car). well, i did REVS check and the car wasn't on the list.... but anyways, now i gotta resolve this! do i need to buy the whole diff/gearbox assembly? or is it possible to fix only the problematic bits? which would be cheaper without sacrificing safety/reliability? Brand new or second hand? where can i get a good bargain? I would really appreciate your suggestions on this subject matter!!! Please HELP!!!!!! It’s a 2002 corolla Levin ZZE122 manual Help! Help! Help!!!

  8. Hi Guys where is CBC? I am in Sydney, Australia. My ZZE Levin has humming noise from the drivers front wheel. I think its the bearing. I am however willing to change the hub as well (getting my mechanic to do it). Toyota's price is: Bearing - $105, Hub - $109. Would you recommend an aftermarket assembly instead? Please suggest if I have to mention anything precautionary (dont do this, dont do that.. etc.) before he begins the job. thanks a lot in advance guys.
