Thanks Stephen for the excellent report mate, Yes Tyres are always a subject that will garnish so many differing reviews as everyone has their own opinions. We each have loevs and dislikes about tyre brands, and mi9ne is safety grip wet and dry and endurance as like you fuel economy isn't my number one go too. My last set was the Bridgstone Primacy 4 and so far they are doing brilliant in all of my go too areas especially quiet and wet weather driving grip and wear so I am happy to say they are doing great expensive but what price can be put on the tiny bit of contact we have on the tarmac. Look after yourself mate KAA

Hi Peter, From my reseach that indicates Pre Collision Safety System,The PCS system, uses radar or cameras to alert the driver of potential frontal collisions. So sounds like its a fault being detected in that system which could be a sensor of possibly an obstruction of one of them. Hope that helps mate or at least gives you an avenue to look at. KAA

Thank You Angela for the heads up, yes wiht tech these days you would think once it is off it automatically goes into a security mode that disables the vehicle and can not be started wihtout the keyfob being in the vehicle. Glad you got it back fast and undamaged and I am sure you will be ultra careful now after that experience. KAA

Hi Brendan, These days 100% will have bluetooth Android or Apple auto connections etc The main issue will be a harness to connect everything built in standard in the Aurion (depending on what your model is ATX..Sportivo..Presara etc) to the new unit, I would read all you can about that headunit online and I also woul be extra careful before doing anything like doing it yourself if your unsure of the approach. It may be worthwhile reaching out to a specialist car audio store like Monster or someone similar and it may even be best to dig deep into your pockets and pay someone to do the install as they will also have the right coloured plastic surround for the head unit you have to make the job look professional. I used Monster here for my install in our Presara as I was not going to play with wiring for the steering controls to work and they did a brilliant job, I have Pics in my profile of the unit I went with and years later it is still performing perfectly.

Welcome to the forum Jose, I am sure if any know of a great mechanic they will reach out too you, my only advise is maybe go online check out any decent mechanics and read any reviews on their sites..or ask them if they cant help to recommend someone in your area and whatever the issue is also read up online as maybe someone already has a post that may help you.

Welcome to the forum and Congrats on your choice Maurice, a great unit for sure and I would agree with my mate Tony, I do my oil changes much earlier and follow our awesome Car Care Nut on YT he is a Master Tech specializing on Toyota and Lexus and is a wealth of knowledge. That colour is awesome too well done enjoy the open road and many many years of smooth motoring mate KAA

Hi Reece, no I have never had an issue with my Aurion AC but from what i have read it could be a slight leak in the AC system. It can build up enough pressure over time to work then may leak to the point it wont. I would get a good AC man to run a leak test on it to make sure that isn't the issue other than that maybe a faulty relay? it is worth checking into. Let us know how you get on mate. KAA

Welcome to the forum Basil and of cause Horus. Enjoy Mate KAA

Hi Anthony, I found this picture hope it helps you KAA

Hi Glen. wow that is a freaky issue..To me it sounds like an electrical issue the random sort are the worst but as your high-beams are now out it should be easier to diagnose..So if it was me my next stop would be an auto electrician I would make a few calls and also check them out online for reviews etc first then visit.. Let us know how it turns out mate KAA

Welcome to the forum Kevin, I am sure if any can help with your inquires they will KAA

Welcome to the forum and Congrat's on the new baby, I am sure anyone who can help with any questions will reply KAA

Hi Janine, I am sorry to hear of your dilemma..Yes I would suggest a second opinion either at Toyota or another reliable mechanic. It is rare to have a CVT failure at such low mileage but it can happen. As you said it had not had a good service history it could be that the transmission had a tough life either towing or driven hard. Please update us on what the outcome of the second opinion turns out too be, if it requires a replacement transmission someone may have a source or advise where to locate one for a good quality replacement unit.

Welcome to the forum Lou, any questions or tips and advise are always welcomed mate. Enjoy KAA

Welcome to the forum John, Depending on where you are your best option may be to get your existing alternator checked first to be totally sure that is the issue.The next if unable to find one suitable even on the aftermarket you may have to have that one rebuilt ..That may be your only option..I am sure somewhere there is one suitable but finding it is always the issue. I would get good advice from an AUTO ELECTRICIAN as they will have the inside knowledge of any sources that may able able to help you mate. KAA
