Hi Guys,

Could you please suggest a good place in and around Sydney for getting my Estima serviced, without getting ripped off? :-)

Hey Guys,

I am looking for Estima 2004 8 seater floor mats..would prefer original Toyota mats, but am also open for after market ones. I seem to have lost one part of the mat in the middle row :-(

Any suggestions where I could look for these mats here in Aus?

Thanks!

Hey Guys,

I have finally got my Estima!! It's a White G-Edition Type II 2004 Estima L with 3L V6 engine, and a few other bells and whistles such as Dual Sun roofs, auto doors, curtains etc. Its a 8 seater with about 60K kms on it .

One thing missing though is the rear camera, which is a must for me!! I am just wondering if you guys have come across a package which includes the rear camera, screen, and a DVD player with FM here in Sydney? I am not very handy, would prefer getting the whole thing professionally installed.

The other thing ofcourse is the Insurance! I tried Shannons, they say I am not a motor enthusist :-( .. tried NRMA, and their quote for a comprehensive insurance is about 1600$ with 800$ excess.. any other 'reliable but not too expensive' companies that you guys know of?

Will keep you guys posted with my Estima experience!! Wohooo!

Hi Everyone,

Looking for advise...

I've got a 2008 Tarago Ultima with factory sat nav installed. I'm just about to purchase the original Toyota reverse camera & was appalled that the Toyota installation fee is as much as the camera!

On to plan B. Find a 3rd party installer or DYI. I'm not very mechanical but can follow instructions extremely well.. Is there an installation guide/manual for the reverse camera?

Or would I be better off finding someone to do it for me? Any recommendations? I live around Hornsby, NSW

Or *shudders* bite the bullet & pay Toyota to do it?

Hey mate, Just curious, whats the quote like for the camera and installation?

That's great to hear, looking forward to hearing you experience, I am pretty sure it's gonna be awesome!! :-)

Hi xchex, I am interested in more details, have left you a message, kindly respond when you find some time. Thanks!

Hi xchex I am still looking around. I always thought self importing was bit of a hassle. Yes, please let me know how you went about your import.. I guess you do end up saving some money by self importing...

Hey guys

I am looking at purchasing a 2003 Estima V6 grey import soon from a car yard. I am not well versed with Mechanics.. Could you help me with a few mandatory things that I need to check before purchasing one? One thing that I could gather from the forums is the timing belt, any other suggestions ?

Also, does 18k sound reasonable for a 2003 import which has run about 60k Kms?

Thanks!

Thanks Steve and Ronnyboy!
