  1. Hi Jeff, That is awesome news mate, as Ash said 90% of any comments about Toyota are positive ones, like any company it can come down to who you deal with for service, they make or break your outlook on the company. Mostly my dealings with Toyota have been with Parts (as I have a wonderful mechanic I have used for many years so only he touches the car) and I have always found them to be very helpful, so I am very pleased to hear they went above and beyond for you.

    Glad your back in your Kluger and enjoying the road again, look after yourself

  2. Hi Coby, I think your only hope is someone who is not your mainstream company as the age of the head unit and parts will be the biggest obstacle. If it was me I would be looking at a replacement head unit, you get the latest upgrades and Sat/Nav as well as a quality sound.

    Maybe dig around on Facebook for a wrecker who has a unit undamaged for plug and play or look around or advertise on Facebook in your area.

    Let us know how things go for you

  3. LOL those beads on mine will have to wait till the cyclonic winds we have had here go away, hopefully tomorrow as my wife and I finally get to have anniversary date. Today was bloody horrible and mini cyclonic winds came out of nowhere for a few hours.

    Now if I had bead porn on the car and watch those sexy beads of water fly away LOL

  4. Hi Jeff, like Ashely I am sorry to hear of that news, had never heard of fan issues for the hybrids so let us know how things progress and what they believed caused the malfunction of the fan to begin with. Glad the dealership is doing all they can to help but the delay would certainly be annoying. I many many years ago worked for Toyota and the spares issue was always just that an issue for anything that required import from Japan, I am sure COVID has made it even tougher but at least they are on it and I hope all is resolved soon mate, just keep us updated

  5. Yes I am a fairly gentle driver and only on occasions when "She Who Must Be Obeyed" is not in the car do I let the young lead foot out in me LOL

    Usually I must admit I just like to cruise gently and enjoy the knowledge that if I press my right foot down I can leave many behind LOL

    Checked again today and it was 9.2L/100 so I am due to get out now and give it a really good run, well at least as far as we are allowed right now so family visits that are way too long overdue so at least on a freeway for about 1/2 hour

  6. Hi Muhammad, I can't assist with the rattle/grind sound but I am sure others will help with that as many good minds on here. The fuel consumption really has a lot to do with your driving style, tyres also pay a big part and most of all maintenance of the beast under the bonnet and transmission. I personally wont use full unleaded at any time unless really stuck with no choice, I use E91 and if the price is right E95, lately most petrol stations are not budging on price wars so all are expensive so E91 it is, when I check the economy read out my normal usage for short (COVID restricted) trips I am getting around 9.7L/100 this is pretty much the normal for me, as always there are days I just want to enjoy the power and the who cares about fuel consumption part of me kicks in and like Ashley said enjoy that power feeling. We have debates before about using the E98 verses E95 E91 so there will be some threads I am sure in the Aurion section to read, but if I recall most thought it really a waste of money for what you gain, I am sure when we can do some long drives a few more comments will be coming regarding fuel economy

  7. Hi Steve, yes I believe from memory you do have blue tooth on the head unit. I had nothing but issues with using the blue tooth on our Presara as it would work then not on my phone and same with my wife's phone so we replaced the head unit all together. If you have a owners manual it should say there how to activated it I recall something about having to pair your phone to the unit first. I am sure others will help if they can mate.
