how did your goodyear tyre go...Are they good compared to OEM bridgestones

Hi All, Please let me know the best replacement for original OEM bridgestone(245/55/R19) based on your experience.It only confuses me when looking through different brands.looking for higher performance interms of wear,wet and dry grip.

How did you go with the seat covers,are they came with self adhesive straps or ties made in clothes..Please let us know your experience,

Hi Mate, I need your opinion on Bridgestone Ecopia H/T EP850 and Goodyear efficient grip SUV tyres(245/55/R19).Is there any other tyres available for 70% city and 30% offroad pattern.Your advise would be appreciated.

is that works?sure!!!!!

Hi Dan, I checked Everest website and i could n't find a side step(similar to the one toyota offers) that suitable to current model on their website.One of them which is similar shape to the toyota model says suitable for 2007-2011 model and price is $320.Could you please send me a link of the same side steps which you purchased from Everest which i could use to place an order. Your advise would be appreciated, Kind Regards

some one should develop a solution to protect spare tyre on Kluger that all of us can adopt...

Hi All, where could i find a long range fuel tank for kluger,did someone already try a long range fuel tank/multi tank on your kluger.Does this have any effect on car insurance policy or MVR legislations. Your advice would be highly appreciated Ratheesh

Hi Mate, Welcome to Kluger family and enjoy driving your new Kluger, I have been driving an AWD Grande for the last 12 months and I have been using U95 in my Kluger with 41PSi on tyres and the feeling is really good. I have tried both U91 and U98 and I felt U 95 is the way to go. (I believe all Klugers are factory tuned for U91 and will get better economy if we use U91) Also I preferred rubber floor mats over the carpet mat which assists me to easily clean the mats with water always. Most of the time we use automatic no-contact premium car wash from our dealer and the results are amazing. Further i put extra seat covers to protect my leather seats from scratches and it’s really good if you have kids. Please update us about your Kluger, Cheers

Is that Bridgestone.....

Go home, you're drunk!

I didn't say take legal action,get a legal opinion thats it ,better than seeking comments and suggestion from friends if he thinks dealesr are responsible. Some one can advise me what happens during test drive if they end up in a vehicle break down due to tyre puncture or an accident ,do we responsible for towing the vehicle back to their centre?

Driving Track means nearby road or Round ab't.My dealer has enough space here for a drive test even round ab't behind their service yard....So ignore my comments if this is not the case with most of the dealers...What i meant is dealer could look the issue in detail before they make blind steps...in this case they broke the drive shaft which could have been avoided and repaired if they checked it first instance and saved few dollars....

"it started making a grating noise 5 days ago, when turning right (full turn)." You are right, but my opinion was merely based on the above statement, the client already informed them about the complaint and what they actually need to do is first carefully listen client’s concern and act on it.In this instance they should have checked the vehicle by taking a full right turn with the car on their driving track/parking space... I have a similar bad experience with dealer representative's attitude. When I approached them with my brand new Kluger for a rear DVD rattle noise which felt to me like a loose fixing issue with the actual DVD mounting panel came from factory and that causing the noise issues. When I informed the same to the dealer rep ,they asked me to book my vehicle for a test drive. They took several test drive of my vehicle and informed its fixed .But soon after I drive past their centre I started hearing the same noise from DVD panel. After this incident I took my vehicle at least 4- 5 times for the same complaint and each time they did the same test and advised me they cannot do anything further. When I questioned about the mounting panel they even started arguing with me by saying that they are experienced engineers. At last I managed to make a complaint to Toyota Australia and through the complaint service the Toyota representative came and fixed the issue after his second attempts .At 1st attempt he advised my dealer to change the DVD player but that also failed to fix the exact issue and in the second attempt he advised them to remove the actual mounting panel and put some more inserts to the mounting face which actually resolved the issue to 99%.( This was the same thing which I informed them at the beginning).

Take it to get a legal opinion as the problem was already reported by you to the dealer and with out inspecting it at the first instance they took it for a test drive far away from the work shop .They should have done this test drive with in their premises.Also check whether any recall on this issue or something related to this issue from Toyota during the past.

I used unleaded 98 for last couple of weeks and i noted a huge increase in fuel consumption. From this experience i believe that there is not much benefit in going for U98 instead of U95 in klugers.Does any one have a different opinion. Kind Regards

Please post some photos of your installation and i appreciate if you could provide the link of supplier from ebay ... KInd Regards
