Did anyonr actually get their globes via toyota for the cheaper values mentioned? As i popped past two dealerships today (Adelaide) and both quoted identicsl $339.00 prices per globe. Still blows me mind that high volume manufacturer would use such ridiculous priced items (or attempt to rip their customers off)

Does anyone require some replacement clips for locking rods? I had one fail in the rear seat latch of my ZRE hatch - Toyota do not sell them separately (so I was told by CMI) but could buy a whole lock assembly for $250. So I got a pack of Lefts and Rights off ebay, waited a few weeks for snail mail and now i have lots more than I have a use for. Free just have to pay postage. If you are local: pick up will work fine (Local = Adelaide) if you are interstate: I'd just want you to mail me a stamped and self-addressed envelope and i'll send some back. What are stamps now, $0.70? so it'll cost you $1.40 all up. PM me - I don't get on here often but should get alerted to a PM via email. Qty available - 8 Lefts, 8 Rights. Please don't be greedy and want them all.

Got a pic? These arn't wireless are they

Get in an American vehicle, like a jeep grant Cherokee for example. Fk me, it's does.at least 3 to 4 different beep sequences when you first start it up. Now that's annoying, I'm not fussed about the beeps reminding me to belt up or shut the door :) Btw I have the Levin ZR, doesn't beep that much.

Mate if you do end up parting out please do get in touch... Have an 08 levin ZR same colour in Adelaide.

SOLD!

up till now, Toyota. But as we have a family mechanic (works for a leading Holden dealership) who works for peanuts on weekendds, he'll be taking over duties as he has already done for our commonwhore dog kennel. And grade of oil no idea - they fail to print that on the windscreen label

not really... but its the daily driver. M orning Commute is a pretty cruisy 45minute drive with little start/stop action. Drive home is a different story - hour and bit of start/stop, heavy (for adelaide) congestion around the edge of the city. Also pulling up south road or cement hill (brighton road), and the odd nob accel. off the line. The commodore sits in the driveway all week as its alot thristier on petrol and also has a few little issues needing to be resolved... so the corolla gets used alot. I think we've put on 30k in 12 months - very rough guestimate as I cant remember when I bought it. Prob similar time to myself joining this lovely place.

I think it used 1l in 8,000km's... and i thought that was crazy seeing that its not dropping anything at all, and i do not ever notice blue clouds on my rear horizon. Agreed: 1l per 1000km's is mental. That is an oil filter

Are you flippin serious??? I might have to have a read of it :) Ok... well with that helpful information I am now less worried, but ****** that does seem excessive even if its all normal.

Manual, out of warranty (of course)

At work so cant check plugs but quickly checked the air filter and air-box - no residue. Will get our family mechanic to give it a proper look over as its due for a service within 1500 km's... if its rings, it may get traded in.

Howdy! I have a curious issue, wondering if its a common one &/or something to be seriously worried about. The last two times the car is coming up towards being due for a service, at the 8-9k mark, I get my engine 'low oil' warning when I brake to a stop, check it and yep, not even reading on the dipstick. WTF? Happened again this morning and it took near 1.5ltrs of oil to make it read on the dipstick. Do these ZRE corollas eat oil? Does the genuine Toyota oil magically vanish? I'm very sure I'm not leaving a single drop of oil on the ground when parked, and dont notice and blue clouds as I accelerate off the lights. The rolla is only upto 78,000km's, and I and the mrs dont drive it like maniacs as its the daily driver.

WTB set of shock absorbers to suit 08 ZRE corolla. In SA if possible but postage can be done

So popped into Whilshire Motor Trimmers in Friday, with the main purpose of having a seat in a sample recaro seat, they have a fair few in their showroom. Spoke to them that the lack of lumbar support on the zre seats makes them very uncomfortable after a while. Firstly they mentioned that if the stock seats have airbags in them, no go on changing seats. And secondly they showed me a small hand-pump air-bag unit they can install into the seat to create adjustable lumber support. $250 installed. So I have the rolla booked in this Tuesday... Will let y'all know the result.

back to life!!! 591km's on the tank, 46.16 ltrs to fill. City driving. 7.8ltrs/100km

are there rails to suit ZRE?

Car is just out of warranty (by a few months). I've dumped girls for having the wrong headlights before... dont think I want do it for a car! lulz

unbelieveable! I was just quoted $430.60 for a replacement globe from Toyota. This car is going bye bye!

Can it be done? Can I (or an auto-elec. for a reasonalble price) change these stupid fkn HID headlamps back to normal H4 type bulbs? I could swap the headlamp assembly over for non HID i suspect but the wiring would require attention. I like the HID effect, but the buls are fkn ridiculously expensive, and I just priced a replacement ballast from Toyota @ $387.00. This morning I walk out to the car as its warming up and the passenger side is out. I say fk! i turn the lights off... wait a sec and turn them back on, both sides light up... not 30 seconds later the passenger side if off again. I repeated that once again to make sure I wasn't crazy. So its not the bulb... it must be the ballast. right?! Standard lights are simple... they work. When they dont, blown bulb > replace > they work again. /Rant

So the minister of finance (aka that woman) has advised to keep the rolla. No worries. & have approval to spend a few $$$ to make it more comfy. First upgrade will be a set of recaro ergomed seats (currently chasing prices), then a dutchie spec stereo, and will talk with Toyota about getting the rear view camera fitted (If it works with the new stereo).
