LED headlights like the ones posted above are terrible, the output is worse than halogen. Do your headlights have factory projectors? If so, a 35W HID kit with 4500k bulbs will give decent output. If your headlights are just a halogen reflector housing then get some of these: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Philips-Xtreme-Vision-130-More-Light-H7-Headlight-Globes-Twin-Pack-of-Bulbs-/271866779766?hash=item3f4c85d876:g:tScAAOSwuxFYx8PA

TLDR; stay way from LED

Battery.

He said he can hear the car trying to start (cranking?) so it isn't battery related, it's either fuel or ignition.

To rule out fuel, remove the air intake and spray some Start Ya Bast*rd into the throttle body to see if it will start. If it does it means your fuel pump is gone and if not then it's ignition related; plugs, coil packs, crank position sensor etc

Now I feel that there was no use in servicing in an authorized service center. 

I hope you realize you don't need to service the vehicle at a Toyota Service Center to keep warranty valid?

As long as services are carried out with genuine Toyota parts and filters (with proof and to schedule), warranty is valid. You don't even need to use Toyota motor oil. Any branded motor oil is fine as long as it meets OEM specs listed in the manual

Go and see David @ Bell Auto Electrical on Bell Street in Heidelberg

I use the thinnest oil possible that's still listed as recommended. For my 2.4L '03 Camry that's 5W30. It's not necessary to use a thicker 40 or 50 weight oil unless there's a specific need ie. excessive oil consumption or bad seals. Plus, your engine is going to run much more efficiently on a thinner oil.

Full synthetic oil is damn cheap these days due to sales every other week. I picked up 6x 5L bottles of Castrol Magnatec Full Synthetic 5W30 a few months back for $28 each when Supercheap had 50% off. Late last year Repco had 60% off 10L bottles of Castrol Edge 5W30 for $49.95, and that's one of the best oils you can get your hands on.

If you know, would you know what size speaker would fit thanks.

Measure the distance between those 2 screw holes

I'm not too familiar with this setup, what is the front speaker arrangement? I own a Lexus IS with the 14 speaker Mark Levinson system. Great system however I did find the top end a little harsh on 70%+ volume so I corrected it by tuning the EQ. You could possibly do the same if you have EQ adjustment

Hi all,

Just wondering if anyone has any insight into what parts would be needed to install cruise control into my 2003 Camry and whether it's a hard or timely process to install? I will be sourcing the required parts from local wreckers in the area

Thanks

Use more force - pull up and towards you

The type of fuel filter which is recommended for my car is the Ryco Z424. However there is a Ryco multifit fuel filter which is the Z441 which says it replaces the Z424 along with a few other filters. Apparently they're the same filter with different brackets but I'm not sure if it will work or not because I've never changed a fuel filter before.

Here are the 2 filters:

Z424 (recommended): http://www.allpartsautomotive.com.au/COBOL/PICS/Z424.JPG

Z441 (multifit): http://www.allpartsautomotive.com.au/COBOL/PICS/Z441.JPG

Will the multifit work?

I guess I'll get the 20W-50 because it's for high kilometer engines? Would there be much difference between semi synthetic and fully synthetic?

Thanks jeffy, I can get Iridiums for $10/each so I'll throw them in for that extra life span.

While we're on topic, what motor oil would be best for me? She's about to hit 200k odo. I was thinking 5w-30 fully synthetic..

I love how you bother to get that link when it would have been quicker to type an actual response. I also love how you assume cause I ask such question, that I haven't researched or done my own reading but I have, and I'm still left asking the same question.

Taken from the first hit in Google: "Copper spark plugs are generally considered to have the best performance of any spark plug type. This is potentially different from what advertising companies suggest, but the other metals are, unfortunately, not as conductive in general as copper is. Platinum and iridium plugs are more likely to overheat, which causes damage to the plug components and can compromise the delivery of the spark to the engine block."

^This suggests that copper plugs are the way to go..

But then, taken from NGK: "The motive behind tipping spark plug electrodes with precious metals was purely performance driven. The smaller the centre electrode, the better the spark plug performs. Reducing the centre electrode diameter of a standard nickel alloy spark plug, although easily done, would result in a very poor and unacceptable service life. Using precious metals, NGK were able to decrease the electrode size whilst actually increasing service life. In doing so the spark plug was able to achieve performance benefits previously not possible."

So believe it or not, even after you posting your very helpful link, I am still left asking the same question.

Is there any advantage running an NGK Iridium plug over an NGK copper other than the Iridium lasting longer?

According to NGK, Iridium's will spark better although some say copper plugs spark better..?

Hi all,

I'm really confused as to which spark plugs to get for my
Camry. Toyota and NGK recommend 'BKR6EP-11' which from my understanding
is a platinum tipped NGK plug.

Would I be able to run the equivalent NGK Iridium plug (BKR6EIX-11)? I don't mind paying extra for a longer lasting plug..

I ended up removing the stock 4" mounting bracket and replaced it with a 6.5" mdf spacer

Hi guys,



I currently have aftermarket 4" front speakers and 6" rear speakers. My
question is; does anyone know if it is possible to install 6" speakers
into the front with a bracket? Or is there not enough room?



Thanks

i personally installed projectors to avoid defect.

Was that a custom job mate or did you purchase those headlights?

If you want a HID kit to suit your GEN3 SXV10 Camry then get the DS2 H4 kit but you will need a pair of projectors and buy the US GEN3 front headlights with the clear lens, custom fit the projectors into it and install your HID kit. It looks really nice. I had them in my old GEN3 Camry but I've sold it the car.

Do you have a pic of it done? Or any other Gen 3 retrofit?

Unless you have projector lenses I would recommend that the only HID kit you buy is none.

Are they a good brand?

Hey all,

I want to get a HID kit but I'm not sure which bulb type to get. Some have said I need HB4 and some have said I can use H4-3 bi-xenon.

Any help would be great

Thanks for the reply mate.

How much oil would the 5S take?

hi guys

just wanting to know which engine oil i should put in my 2.2L XV10 camry. i should add that i leave the house at 6am every morning so it's quite old outside when she starts

thanks

Yep turned out to be a very worn distributor cap
