Thanks kluger2 that link was spot on. I found that I didn't need to touch the bumper at all. I managed to get the tail light off just the same. You do need to have the special long socket set though and a small handle to get into the confined space. Apart from the socket set and handle costing me $58.00 I think I got out of it relatively cheap. A lot cheaper than if I went to a dealer to get it replaced and now I have the socket set as well.

Thanks kluger2 that info looks like it might do the trick. At least I can see what I'm up for. I just picked up the light today so I'll attempt the procedure this weekend. Will let you know how I go.

Have managed to get a good deal on a genuine tail light with a dealer. Just wanted to ask the members if any one has changed a tail light on a Kluger as yet and how hard was the process. Are there any tricks to it, is it easy to change or difficult. If any one has any feed back it would come in very handy as I'm contemplating changing the damaged tail light myself.

Over here in the West the dealers quoted me $342.85 it comes as a complete housing. They don't sell the plastic cover separately. I can get after market LED tail lights for around $360.00 for a pair shipped to Australia. If I don't have any luck with the wreckers I have contacted I think I might pimp my ride while I'm at it.

Just smashed my right hand side tail light last night. Totally ****** off. Got a price from Toyota spare parts and nearly fell backwards. Amazingly the bumper repaired itself within a couple of hours. The plastic bumper just popped back to its original shape. Between my wife and myself have had a few minor mishaps like this and this car is just amazing. Some how it manages to survive major damage. Except this time with the tail light. Would any members know where I would be able to get genuine spares at better prices than the dealers or are they the only registered genuine spare parts suppliers in Australia. It seems I can get prices for parts out of the US for the Highlander Model which is the same as ours shipped here much cheaper. Don't really want to claim on my insurance the excess is about the same as the cost of the light and I would lose my no claim bonus. Any suggestions.

Any tips on where I would find it. I've no idea when it comes to this stuff. I presume its under the bonnet somewhere.

Just wondering if anyone can help in locating the relay switch for the parking lights in my Kluger. I want to connect Led strip lights to it so I can switch them on or off together with my parking lights. Saves putting on the headlights for daytime driving. A pic with the location would be extremely helpful. If anyone has done this tips would be appreciated as well.

Look into the Kumho tyres. We have had ours on now with 41000kms wear and still going strong. Should get around 60000kms. I think they are a bit cheaper than the Bridgestone tyres as well. Have a set of 265/40R/22's on which gives you a very smooth ride. Very little roll on cornering and the cars handles alot better. Worth changing to 22's but just watch your insurance if you do so. Otherwise I'm sure the 19's in the Kumhos would wear just as well. Great price you got on the Bridgestones but if you're not getting the mileage out of them shouldn't you be looking at other tyres?

If you had invested in the Grande it would have solved your problem . Our kids have the dvd player on most journeys and you don't hear a peep . Totally worth it.

Did that lowered the pressure to 20 psi but it was still getting bogged.

I have recently started taking our AWD Kluger off road. Had no problem taking it through bush at Wellington Dam WA and handles well on gravel roads but on our last outing on the beach North of Perth we had some trouble getting through soft sand. I know that the Kluger is not a proper 4WD but does anyone have any tips on how to drive a Kluger in soft sand. It travelled well while the beach was flat but as soon as I reached a slight embankment close to the shore line as I tried to pick up the revs to get up it the car started beeping and the engine lost power and the accelerator cut out. After friends of mine got me out of the mess I backed up the beach and tried again. The same thing happened as the car gained momentum and I started to climb the embankment the engine lost all revs and the car was bogged again. Gave up in the end and ended up going to Wedge Island North of Lancelin instead where the sand on the beach is a lot firmer. If anyone has any tips on driving a Kluger on the beach they would be greatly appreciated. I should also mention that a brand new Jeep Grand Cherokee was getting bogged in the same spot so my Kluger wasn't doing too badly considering the circumstances.

You can install several lists of contacts for up to five phones I think. You install your contacts under different group names. Just name your particular group of contacts and then transfer all your contacts from your phone to that group name. Do this for each phone. If you want to know how to transfer contacts from your phone to the handsfree of your Kluger just go to my profile look up topics and find the " data transfer mobile to handsfree". Click on that topic and look up dlindsay's reply. The info in this reply helped me immensely. I contacted Toyota and Nokia several times and no one could help me at all. These forums come in real handy sometimes.Not sure if it works the same for iphones though but I figure the same principal should work for all mobiles. I know that most people that have used this info haven't been disappointed. Good luck Ryanocer

You can get what in the floorcovering industry they call a needlepunch matting. It comes in various colours also comes with or without a rubberised backing and it can be cut to the exact size of your cargo area. Once cut it won't fray and you can take it out and hose it clean any time. You can buy them from most floorcovering retailers and it's not very expensive. I put black ribbed needle punch in the back of my Kluger and with the cream interior it really looks good. Oh yeah the most important thing is that the stuff is very tough and almost impossible to tear. Hope this info helps. Ryanocer

Had these wheels put on about a year ago now and have had no problems at all. There is no rubbing on the tyres and the ride and handling of the car has been better than the standard 19 inch rims and tyres that came with the grande model. The only thing you need to watch out for is the insurance companies. Not all insurance companies will insure you with what they call modifications to your vehicle. You will need to shop around until you get the best price and for an insurance company that will insure you with these mods.As to the size of the tyres they are Kumhos 265/40R/22 Regards Ryanocer

Can anyone please help. My wife has had one of her Lady Gaga CDs stuck in the stacker. I know most of you will say who cares about losing a Lady Gaga CD but I would like to get it out and put something else on. The actual CD doesn't play at all. If anyone has any suggestions please reply.

Put these 22 inch wheels and tyres on our new Kluger when we got delivery early last year. Hope the pics help.
