Water pump bearings on my my 2007 Aurion has gone and needed replacing. Only done 75k! Cost me ~$990

That's the aerial for the radio that's built into the rear window. You'll notice it's separate to the demisters..

Agree.. I had the same experience with Grand Toyota

Peter Garden - Mobile: 0439 877 978 - He's done all mine, my friends and my relatives cars. Any % you want (at your own risk of course). He may be a few dollars more, but you get a top quality job. http://www.realtint.com.au/

I had similar symptoms - ie. when taking off a couple of clunks which seemed to come from the steering area but was actually from the front right strut.. It ended up being a faulty strut bearing (my '07 prodigy has only done 30k km's ) - Toyota replaced it and the noise has gone..

That's where my original dash creaks started coming from.. between the dash and windscreen on the passenger side. It disappeared, after they did the dash kit fix.... On a side note, I was also getting a knocking noise from the front drivers side of the car when taking off....Took it into Toyota, and they ended up replacing the front right strut bearing.

Yeah, had mine done today, its got a faint/fading yellow stripe near the edge.

not convinced with the aurion badge on the side above the front wheel arch nr the rear view mirrors? kinda looks untidy to me

Could be the 2nd one :-) . Yep, Bondie inspired me, so I picked mine up on ebay about 6 months ago. The seller was http://stores.shop.ebay.com.au/SWIFTBITZ__W0QQ_armrsZ1

Yeah I get that too, and also thought it was normal. Let us know how you go mate.

hey mate, what's the feedback so far (i know it's only been a couple of days) and which dealer in WA did you take it too? I had the "noise kit" fitted back in September 2008. It was ok for a few months but now a different rattle occurs!! - like some clips have come loose near the driver side nr the windscreen.

Sorry mate, I mainly use my towbar for a bike rack and a small trailer. I don't really have the experience to help answer your question. Some info here - http://www.etrailer.com/faq_weightdistribution.aspx

Toyota genuine headlight & bonnet protectors are available. For a good idea of price, have a look at http://www.castlehilltoyota.com.au/chtmode...;ImgName=aurion

Yep, I've noticed my driver door a bit clunky lately too. Thanks Danos, I thought I was imagining things :-) I'll get 'em to fix it next service..

I got quoted $625 for a removable hitch type towbar 50mmx50mm from Parkside Towbars in WA and $840 for a Hayman Reese 40mmx40mm from Auto Extra. Both use the genuine Toyota wiring loom. Ended up going with one from Parkside
