Don't waste your money mate. Put it towards some new suspension bits. Money better spent.

Wow, campbeam, I would have never thought this possible. Glass should never 'just shatter' on its own. I wonder if this also happens on other models. Shame on O'brien glass for that ridiculously over priced quote too. It does pay to shop around. Good luck with everything.

You mentioned that you recently purchased the car. I'm guessing a private purchase yes ? Otherwise you could take it back to the dealer for a warranty repair. When I mentioned someone could have been fiddling around behind the console, I didn't suggest it was you. Could have been already fiddled with before you purchased. Was the A/C tested by you prior to buying the car ?

I'm pretty sure it is electro servo controlled. The climate control is touch button so, I think you are correct there Trent. Could be a loose wire on the controller or what I mentioned previously. I can't imagine the damper motor could be faulty, more than likely the signal isn't reaching it. If someone has been frigging around in that center dash area, may have not coupled the molex plugs properly. All it takes is for one pin to not make contact and all hell breaks loose.. Maybe I'm exaggerating, but you get my drift.

Could be a control damper in that line of ductwork. Seems like it's bleeding air off the heater coil. You need to get under the dash and trace out that line of ductwork and check .

These modern cars are so tekky.. Unlike the old school days. Like driving an ipad on wheels.

Well given that information, the O.P. must have a faulty park brake switch then. Probably a coincidence it played up just after having the brake fluid flushed. I dont see how the fluid sensor has anything to do with the park brake system. As mentioned by that dodgy mechanic. "Sensor got blocked", wow ! This should be independant of the hydraulics. The fluid sensor should only warn you if your brake fluid is low. Correct ?

I thought all handbrakes are mechanical, hence a micro switch on the foot lever/hand brake. Are they hydraulically actuated then with electronic sensors signalling the dash cluster ? I don't know for sure as I've never sussed it out. Interesting though.

I'm with Krig on this one. Get the newer and improved version for few extra bills.

Those mats are a good idea Krigeroz. Me personally, I prefer the carpet mats mainly for the appearance but I can see where you are coming from with these. The maintenance is easier and they can contain liquid spillage, ( if you have kids in the car). Good for if you are planning long trip too. I also like how the drivers mat has the original type fixtures too. Nice one there mate !

Yep. Oil threads are like waving a red rag to a bull. I never participate in oil threads. You'll just be asking for trouble

He purchased it second hand so dealer related invoices etc he wouldn't have. If he has the original log books, the service booklets will have what he wants. Guaranteed.

I'm pretty sure there's more to it than just swapping out the head unit. I have a non GPS model 2012 and have seen on ebay the gps conversion kit. The setup for my car included several other bits plus the head unit. The price the seller was asking didn't turn me on so I Left it. I just use google maps and I reckon it's better than the car sat nav. Don't waste your money.

I use the 98 sometimes when it's not at RIP OFF levels. It does make a difference to standard 91 (Fly Spray) And there's nothing wrong with E10 either. The car is optimised for E10 so don't let the scare mongers scare you off E10. I think E10 is better than the rubbish 91 offers.

Open your warranty and service booklet. You will see a paper stuck on the inside of the front cover. All service booklets will have this unless someone has torn it out. If you do, look at the very bottom the left. You will see "Batch No". Next to this is "Key No"

I can't see the 300K service should warrant some wildly expensive over the top servicing. If the car has been maintained correctly thus far, and it shows having clocked 300K kays, just follow the usual items that one would normally check. Regular oil and filter service is crucial.

For sounds like dodgy pin connections. If someone has been in there and had unplugged anything, You can easily force a single pin out slightly so it makes minimal contact. This would explain the fan turning off when cornering. Like Trent said, vibration and inertia can affect this. Make sure when you unplug and re plug any of those sockets that all pins mate correctly.

Is the 40 keyless system the same as the 50 ? Or, has Toyota upgraded it ?

I recall the replacement fuel filter is around $200. (parts only) Correct me if I'm wrong.

Hahaha.. Whoever "they" are must not like mother in law too much.. Like Trent mentioned, I'd never do that. Give it a spirited run but not hard rev to 6 grand for a whole 60 seconds !! Wow !

1500 + from Toyota, WOW ! And you know they'll just farm it out... Don't you have any smash repair shops nearby just to see what the norm would be ?

How much did you get quoted for the respray ?

CRC make a MAF spray cleaner. I have one somewhere....

You'll have a world more trouble buying a Tesla. Just get a 50 series for trouble motoring

It's good you are here asking the questions krigeroz, because you may do something inadvertently and stuff it up. We all learn no matter how small the problem and it's always good to ask first before attempting anything.
