Great news Dominic, will make a note of the procedure in case anything happens in the future..I always find the advantage of the AFS on a very dark night in a low ilight area useful..makes taking a corner so much easier and on a highway even better

Keep Well and Thanks for the information I am sure others will also benefit and that is why we are here..for each other.

KAA

Same reply from me, did it work?..I have never had that issue with my Presara..I have replaced the battery and still had AFS working..so let us know if that procedure worked as it is a handy fix if it worked for you

KAA

Welcome to the forum Shane,

I am sure others have had that issue and will help if they can

KAA

Hi Jayson yes the Presara has it all as far as extras..I went with a nice  Clarion VX506AU head unit..cost a little but was well worth it, also had Monster fit the unit as they had the trim surround that fitted perfectly to make it look like it was always there..plus the harness so all steering wheel controls functioned.

I took some pic's that are on my profile..enjoy your upgrading and let us see what you decide on

KAA

Welcome to the forum Jayson, I am sure many will be able to throw ideas at you..like anything it tends to be a personal choice as to what you do and how far you're prepared to go with any custom work, and mostly costs involved..My personal choice is to leave my Presara as stock as I can..all I went with was a awesome head unit, some de badging and a grill change and basically that is it..I am sure you will get ideas from our awesome people on here

Keep Well

Well like most cars i think if you floor it from stand still yes get the slight bunny hopping as the traction control kicks in..I never floor it from stand still..I have no need to do that as my days of being a boy racer are long gone now..if I still had my mach 1 mustang however well that's a different and old story..i do find if i apply decent amount of lead foot I get great traction and braking ability on these tyres even in wet conditions..so depending on your driving style from the stand still position I would suggest good quality touring tyres..its the old story you get what you pay for and how you take care of them

How do you find the grip if you give it the beans ?

I find they are very responsive to flooring it..I don't tend to do that often but have done to get past trucks etc on long stretches of road..usually I am just the patient take my time kinda driver, but on very wet days excellent at cornering and around roundabouts

Hope that helps Tom

Currently running Michelin Primacy 4...225/50R17 98V on my Presara..have done only close to 5,000 KLM on them but wearing very well and are excellent in wet weather also found them very quiet on highway conditions..we don't travel great distances but looking forward now to doing a country trip to escape the 4 walls we have been in for months now

so I can recommend them, not the cheapest around but worth the extra peace of mind

KAA

Thanks Ash I have ordered one today..and as I don't have the guns in the arms to manually do the wheel nuts with the normal cross brace anymore I decided to treat myself and the price was great..

What Socket are you using now days for the gun?..and what torque setting do you set your gun at?..

Thanks mate for the post it is appreciated

Keep Well

Welcome to the forum John, yes the Kluger is a very reliable vehicle, and sounds like you have found a nice one..you will find a great following on here

Keep Well

Hi all, I am looking into replacing the bulbs in my Presara's driving lights, has anyone got any good suggestions and details as to what is worth looking at...mostly I am after a nice white light that is legal and provides good brightness..I have looked online but have not looked at how easy they are to replace yet so any hints and tips welcomed

Thanks in advance

KAA

Ahh Ash the good old days, you and Tony have brought back memories of the joyful days of ultra cheap petrol and parts..

I also saw the battery specials advertised at Supercheap but as I only bought a new battery a year ago I decided to wait and see what comes up in the future, I can never see the justification for battery's to be around $200 you would think they would be lifetime warranties for that sort of price

Keep Well Guys

Welcome to the forum Howard, yes we are all missing the long trips interstate for holidays and visiting family, hopefully soon all will reopen and we can once again be out and about.

When the time arrives enjoy that great outdoor experince safely

Hi Jack, another option (depending on how your butt feels in the seat ) is a seat insert, there are a lot at your local supercheap/autobarn stores, let us know the outcome

KAA

Basically the same comment as Ash, the less mileage is worth considering on the SX6, make sure the service history is well up too date and they have all the paperwork

As both are about the same age it thens comes down to which you really find drives the best feels the tightest and smooth on the road and what you think will need changing soon..as Ash said make sure there has been that oil line fix on the rear VVTI as it was a huge issue.

Let us know what you end up deciding on and maybe some Pic's as well and never be afraid to ask for advise or help

Good Luck

KAA

A great question Tony i hope we get some to reply as it is an interesting  idea..as most know already the Aurion series seems to pull to the left a bit even a while after a good alignment..I am used too it now after years of driving our Presara ,but I do notice it every now and then the slight pull to the left..if the Nolathane bushings do help i would invest in some for future work that will be required

Keep Safe All

KAA

Well worth the wait i would agree Tony, They do look very nice quality..i can imagine the gun coming out very soon for a trial run with them..let us know how that went as I have made a note of the name and sizes from the first pic you posted today and added them to the santa list

Keep Safe Mate

OMG Tony...you got my heart racing with these tools and the prices  WOW is right..dam the credit card is screaming let me loose..awesome deal is right..as i told Ash the other day I am cleaning out the garage which was long overdue..and keeping the tools i do regularly use and ditching the ones that were made when Jesus wore short pants..now you have me itching to fill the tool boxes and cabinet..thanks for the pics..they look great sets mate well done.

Now just give me your credit card details so i can unleash on trade tools website LOL

Thanks Mate Keep Safe

KAA

Yes I would get into Toyota about it..nothing to lose..certainly looks like a manufacturing issue and hope they will organize a fix,there is always a way of getting it sorted by an interior specialist just means money from your pocket

Welcome to the forum Matt thanks for the Pic's looks nice

KAA

Same advice as Ashley for you Robert..allow the broker to do all the hard yards plus they know the contacts to get you the best possible deal

KAA

Welcome to the forum Tom, sounds like you found a real gem so congratulations..a family member had a 2004 Avalon and loved it so I am sure there are others out there like-minded who will welcome you to the forum

Stay Safe

KAA

Welcome to the forum Robert, Let us know when you get your beast and maybe a few Pic's of it as well..Hope you enjoy it and let us know if you need any advise or can add to our bank of knowledge on here already, as we all try to help each other on here as much as possible

KAA

LOL Tony, many years ago we lived in Lane Cove and after 8 months i one day said to the lady I have had enough of this place way too busy way too loud beautiful but time to leave and get away from the rat race world. Moved up here to The Central Coast and have never looked back..so much beauty here and quiet..there are Morons but I tend to have a sixth sense or maybe it is a unknown feature built into Aurions they know when the idiots are coming LOL

Keep Well Mate

KAA  

Exactly Ash morons will always be with us, I am hoping here on the Central Coast most will stay in Sydney for a while longer..
