Looking at these photos can anyone advise why the tensioners are fitted around different ways. RH side has warning shown, LH side shows silver foil. Any reason?

Well don't then Obviously another Toyota "person" who sounds arrogant. Sorry if I had a typo in your name, but you're the one bragging that you had contacts. We don't want to know their names and addresses just their email addresses or work numbers to try and get some action. better luck next time I guess.

That's GR8. If you have contacts post them here so others don't have to go through all the trouble I have. I may still need them myself if the meeting doesn't resolve my problem.

Hi trentmyer. I'm dealing with service manager at moment but emails worked and have a meeting with Dealer Principal and Development Manager this week. Stir enough "s--t" and things seem to happen. Will post outcome here later. Stay safe.

Hi people. Am having the same or similar probs here in Brisbane. My intention now is to find as many email addresses as possible of senior management and send an email outlining my problems with the dealer (new vehicle) and CC to all other addresses. MAYBE I'll get a reply from someone.

Thanks Alex. Dealer has now replaced the gasket around the light and says that was the problem. Have had the vehicle inspected by RACQ and although I purchased it NEW I have been told that the left rear has been repaired so now we have a bun fight with the dealer. Thanks for your help.

No. Probably 20km inland. What I don't understand is the "spare" nuts and bolts? Strange.

Hi Alex. can you clarify please. Was the water in the tail lights or on the floor in the boot? Just came acroos your post after joining and have similar problem with water in boot area.

I purchased a NEW 2008 Corolla Auto Hatch. After five years the paint on the roof started lifting. Toyota refused warranty due to time lapse. Took back to dealer who checked history of vehicle and said it had "transit damage" and repaired the roof at no cost to me. I then had suspicions about the vehicle as I have had a musty smell for years that has become worse with time. Checked all the obvious places, spare tyre well, air con over flow drain front left carpet. Took back seats out and found underlay left rear area damp and musty. Dried out with hair dryer and used deodorant spray. Smell returned after a while. Finally removed lining covering the wheel arch and found water laying in the area between the tail light and wheel arch and this had obviously been flowing down into left rear floor area. Also found 10mm bolt with nut attached and a spare nut in the area. These were the same size as the bolts holding the tail light unit into the body. Dealer says this "could have been from the production line". I think not. Are there any people out there that would support me in thinking that this NEW vehicle was "pranged" before being delivered to me. Would appreciate any comments.
