Hi morphski, yes it was replaced free of charge. I've submitted a claim for the tow in - this should hopefully be refunded too. Good luck - I know how much it sucks to have these car problems :-)

My dash seems fine at the moment - should I still take it in to Toyota to replace?

I had the oil cooler hose go recently and it was fixed under recall with a metal hose, however the VVTi line was just replaced with another rubber hose. Toyota claimed that it only needed a rubber replacement hose because the oil through the VVTi line is not pressurised. Was just wondering if this is true?

Hi everyone

I was hoping to get some advice doing my first detail of a white 2007 Aurion. I have owned it for a year and only wash it about once a month. I would like to add an extra step or two to keep the car better looking and protected. Basically I'm looking for a simple and budget friendly process, with products I can pick up and use easily, e.g. from Super Cheap.

After the wash, maybe just the following:

1. Clay - maybe using Meg's clay bar kit that comes with the quick detailer
2. Wax - maybe using Meg's Quick Wax or Meg's Cleaner Wax and some microfibre cloths?

Ideally the wax would last a while so that if I only get a chance to do it twice a year, it would still be okay.

Thanks for your help
