  1. Same thing this morning but revving v high on the drive start. Went to trusted transmission bloke who said could be oil down or could be seals. Getting the transmission serviced Monday. $360. He suggested that the forward happening in a hill could indicate more that the oil is low because its draining out when I’m uphill when it’s cold. He suggested warm it up in drive, then reverse out of driveway and head downhill first to see if it still happens. Rebuilt transmission around $5K! I’m not a DIY. I do about 1,000km/week. Car is income. Fingers crossed. I’ll check out the error code tomorrow. TB said he’s argued with Toyota about the so called car life transmission, in a heated manner. He’s seeing Toyota transmissions go down between 70-150,000km. He says the only thing factory sealed is where the dipstick refill used to be. 🤬
  2. 4am this morning I reversed ok out of the drive but when I shifted to drive I had no acceleration until I went flat to the floor, then I got very minor movement. Tried again got same result, pushed through it and the drive kicked in and it’s been fine all day - 8 hours straight driving, all conditions, wet, dry, traffic stops starts freeway runs. It felt like the transmission was just on the drive side of neutral. It didn’t rev high to move. Car’s just been through 170,000km service. Replaced a front wheel bearing and other side front drive shaft seal. All good. Engine great. It’s never had a transmission service due to owner (me) not knowing about that. Any ideas?
  3. Hi. I have a 2011 Aurion Sportive 6x. Like I said - I love my car! My friend found this car for me and from the moment I test drove it I loved it. I still love it. My first car was a 1970 Toyota Crown and I loved that car too. I went over to Nissen for a few years and seriously do not know what I was thinking. The only car that could induce me to change would be a new Tesla. My question. I am wondering the safest means of powering any 5V 1A device (phone, camera, iPad etc) in the car. The car has 12V sockets. I think that means the central console power outlet and the cigarette lighter, not sure what the dash USB is. There's no info on amps. I'm guessing There are three options for USB. 1. A USB port direct into the media dash that powers the phone but it has no labelling at all. 2. A cigarette lighter plughole. 3. A power outlet in the shift console that fits a cigarette lighter style USB outlet - it receives a lighter plug charger. I have two dual USB output plugs. One of them has a 1A and a 2.1A USB output. The other has two outputs that are not marked. Any information on the amp or voltage output through these ports would be greatly appreciated.
