When you say the two pieces directly below do you mean the bit where the push to start button is on the left and where the reverse sonar button is on the right?

Yeah it would be a costly exercise to have them do it out of warranty if I had to pay for the lot. I really think it might be something other than the original fix. I pulled out the two push pin fasteners in the top of the speedo surround but couldn't seem to work out how to detach the bottom of the surround. Also considering getting a mechanic's stethoscope (about $30) to see if i can track it down further.

The way I read that, they've just admitted to shoddy work. If they've done it under warranty, then is that work and part also under a warranty of its own? Do you know when it was done? Was done in October 2008. Thing is it has been fine for the last 18 months!

OK so I checked with my dealer and apparently (showed me the entry on their computer) has already fitted the dash pad/rattle kit. So given it has already been done under warranty they are pretty much saying tough luck. I asked if there was a way that perhaps the kit could have come loose or moved and they suggested not. So I am left with perhaps trying to have a go at this myself I think. Has anyone got any experience with how to get the speedo area of the dash out or the whole dash so I can at least get in there and see what it might be? Appreciate any help. Cheers.

Unfortunate timing :( Toyota dealers should have some experience with this one, so if you speak with your dealer they should be able to tell you if the noise is a known one from the front dash pad clips. If it is, then they can quote you on the retail repair. It's a big job, so expect a price with too many numbers before the decimal point! Be nice and ask if there is anything they could do about the high price. If they can't and you're the hands-on type, the dealer might be able to help you out in ordering the parts and you can track down a repair manual ... Any idea if they would be likely to fix still only being 5 weeks out of warranty? Worth a try i guess??

Hi. New to the Toyota forum. I have a 2007 Aurion Sportivo ZR6 with 45,000 Kms on it. It has just come out of it's 3 year factory warranty in May. In the last few weeks it has developed a really annoying rattle in the dash area when driving on bumpy or uneven surfaces. The rattle seems to be coming from either the middle or the drivers side of the dash. Does anyone have any ideas? Appreciate any help.
