S1LV3R

Hi guys, Just wondering if anyone can tell which fuse I should connect DRL to. Fuse 'IG2' has been suggested to me but I'm still not confident that 'IG2' would be the correct one. Thanks!

hi wixy, u wouldn't happen to know the exact details of the problem-plagued production block of camry sportivo (i.e. engine, year, vin), would u? i'm just quite curious...thx mate! s1lv3r

BP servos usually have a tyre inflator with digital reading that beeps (as kcorro indicated in previous post) and/or blinks when the desired pressure's been reached. a few things that i would always keep in mind to keep the tyres from heating up too much on the way to the servo: 1. drive to a servo within 1 mile (1.6 km) of cold tyres 2. don't drive faster than 40kmh and try to minimise the stop n go 3. the colder the weather, the better 4. redo the tyres at least once in case it didn't "sense" the tyre pressure correctly the first time

hi all, just wondering if anyone knows where to buy a 12v tyre inflator with digital reading like this one in sydney: http://mll.webmichelin.com/mll/front/produ...t=CAE-INFSML-01 any info would be appreciated :D S1LV3R

hi leasaunce.... on the topic of filling your tyres with nitrogen, it means first you have to take all the air out first and then refill the tyres with nitrogen, rite? and to do it, you'll have to elevate the car, which means the car (and the wheels, of course) would be off the ground, rite? to my knowledge, once the wheels are off the ground, they are no longer "in-line" which means after filling the tyres with nitrogen, you would then need to redo wheel alignment...you agree? did you have to redo wheel alignment after filling your tyres with nitrogen? thanks, S1LV3R

i'm waiting for that and my free test drive :) Sam - hows does Monday round 11 sound? It would great to see wot they have done. And i'll be more than happy to do a jermy clarkeson style review (not driving like jeremy, just be critical of everything!) and submit it to this forum PM me if its all good. for those thinking about getting a new camry / test driving it, be mindful of these: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=4170 http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=6575 and finally: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=7691 just a heads-up :)

I think you are right. They have replaced the bearings, both sway bar bushes and the clonk is still there. Apparently the Toyota dealer said that thats how some Camrys are. Well I don't think its good enough. You would think something so loud and obvious would be solveable. Looks like this is my first and LAST Toyota. :( they said "that's how some camrys are"?????? perhaps they'd care to explain why it's just SOME and not all????? and why it was still released to production????? this sort of thing makes you think...is it just a toyota australia thing or is it global? perhaps we should forward this to toyota japan and see what they have to say seriously, guys...a lot of people are already under the impression that toyota's reputation on quality and reliability is slipping i've got to echo IBJ's sentiment...i think my next car will be either a honda or a mazda

hi everyone, just wondering what u think about this... i was doing about 40kmh just entering sydney cbd on george st coming from broadway when i slammed on the brakes and guess what...the front wheels LOCKED!!! because of this my 2005 sportivo skidded and i almost crashed into the car in front of me dealership: "we can't fault the abs and we'll just have to keep an eye on it" your thoughts would be much appreciated....

We tend to get this "clonk noise" every now and then...especially turning reasonably sharp when leaving our driveway (at low speeds of course). Our car has 15k on the clock. Im interested if this is the norm or not. Brad hi IBJ and Brad, fyi, it's been happening to my sportivo ever since it was new. you'll get a better idea of the kinds of "suspension problems" i've had by reading these posts: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=4170 http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...?showtopic=6575 and this thing sort of gives me an idea of what it might be: http://www.recalls.gov.au/view_recall_deta...l_ID_Auto=13352 perhaps we all should team up and submit a formal complaint to the consumer association...

Un4given, thanks for sharing your knowledge :) let's do a brand new car scenario. so the car and the tyres are new. everything's new and fine; wheels are balanced and aligned; suspensions are aligned; the car's a straight liner on a flat surface. the car's then driven for some distance and it's never parked with one side of the car on the curb, it's not driven hard around corners, perhaps a few spinning moments at the traffic lights and right turns. hence pretty average driving. then the front and rear tyres are swapped (rotated), and now suddenly the car's pulling to the left. why the actual alignment of the suspension is now wrong even if we put brand new tyres on... if it's true that the front left tyre is the most worn out tyre, then the car should already be pulling to the left before the tyre rotation, am i wrong to say so... if there was a car that had 16" left wheels and 18" right wheels, the car would not be a straight liner, would it...

is it true that swapping rear and front tyres (tyre rotation) can cause the car to pull to the left / right??? :( S1LV3R this can happen,left tyres usually carry more wear then right,this is because the roads are angled more on left and are little bit rougher. i am not a strong believer of tyre rotation and didnt do it with first set of tyres on my rolla. got 52000kms out of them and they still had tread for another 10000kms i think. all the best, lauschie hi lauschie...thanks for your reply :) i can understand the thing about the roads being a bit rougher and angled more on the left. however i don't see how it affects the wheel alignment (pulling to the left) when the front and rear tyres are swapped? i'm also aware that the front tyres of front wheel drive cars always wear out faster than the rear ones.
