  3. http://www.news.com.au/story/0,10117,16970...0.html?from=rss TOYOTA has recalled 70,000 of its Australian cars as part of a worldwide recall involving more than a million vehicles. The company has identified a potential problem with headlight dimmer switches in its Corolla, RAV4 and Echo models manufactured and sold between May 2000 and July 2002. A Toyota spokesperson said no Australian cars had been found with the problem, but local models would still be included in the recall which extends to Japan, Singapore, Thailand and Malaysia. Toyota Motor Corporation Australia spokesman Peter Griffin said the faulty headlight dimmer switch contact points could overheat. "The owner might see the headlights starting to flicker or at worst the headlights won't work at all," Mr Griffin said. "But it's important to note that there have been no reports of this condition in Australia at all." Advertisement: The recall affects 1.4 million vehicles internationally. "In Australia, we think it's about 69,800 or just under 70,000," he said. Mr Griffin said there had been no reports of accidents or incidents as a result of the fault. "It's just one of those things when you become aware of a potential problem you want to get on top of it." Owners would be contacted by mail in November advising them to take their car to a dealer, where it would be repaired at no cost. Mr Taylor was confident the recall would not affect sales of the car maker's most popular model, the Corolla. "In September it (Corolla) was the top selling car in the country ... this is a concern because you want to have the best quality car out there and Toyota prides itself on its quality." The Wall Street Journal reported that the recall would set Toyota back about $US127 million ($A166.86 million), based on an estimated repair price of $US100 per car. But Mr Griffin would not give a cost estimate. "There's certainly a cost involved with this sort of exercise but we don't discuss the amount," he said.
  4. Hey Guys, I had this issue before the service i did last weekend in my 02' Levin I dont know what fixed it but i did the following. Mostly based on what i read on this fourm. I changed from 10w 40 oil to shell helix ultra 5w 40 (Ryco oil filter) I brought a K&N air filter instead of the toyota one. I reset the ECU following nothys instructions, and i changed to Denso Iridium Spark plugs. Since then the car idles smoother and the takeoff is like new. I also got the throttle body cleaned out and some octane treatment in with the BP ultimate. I also noticed a quicker 0-100 tiem using my G meter thingo off ebay. I was running 8.9 before and cracked a 8.6 after the service. -Bill
  5. Hey I would be interested if it would fit on my ZZE122?? PM me if it does
  6. I live in fairfield area. So insurance was $1900 for levin and $2400 for sportivo. i was 19 and no driving record when i got this. THis year it went down to 13000 with just car unlimited Mods.
  7. Are you planning to lower the car with low springs or anything? Also, with those tyre specs, do you experience any scrubbing against the guards or anything? Is ride still firm since you choose 45 over the 40 series? ← Hey yeah the car is lowered with King Springs and i don't experience any rubbing at all. I Had 40 series and it was too bumpy since i got these dunlop SP 9000's in the 45 series, it is much smooother and grips of the mark.
  8. Yeah, Mate works at Toyota, They put them on as a joke one day. ( I was tossing between a levin and stivo when i made the purchase.) Insurance was the only thing that made my mind. ← ummmm believe it or not.... insurance is cheaper on the sportivo :P ← hrrm, when i was buying the car i got multipul quotes that were always around $600 difference. Remember under 21 no previous insurance.
