I think it also links wih a metal key. Contact Toyota dealer, they can do it for you BH

A lot in this thread: http://au.toyotaownersclub.com/forums/inde...showtopic=12464 BH

Hi, My wife drives her car with her foot on the break pedal most of the time and on many short trips, she can only manage 12.2l/100km (best) for her 2l BMW which I used to drive everyday and never got over 9.2l/100km. My Presara first service was at around 1,600k mark and they did a good job - including oil change, car wash & vaccum ..... The only thing they did not do: I asked them to disconnect the back centre stop light but they did not do because they did not see it (my wife covered it with a black material - their service card says: "Already disconnected") I will ask them do again next time because I don't need 2 centre stop lights at the back (one is with the spoiler). BH

I know it will hold gears. The Aurion's manual mode works just like an old auto with the L, 2, 3, D etc. In 1, it will only use 1st In 2, it will use 1st and 2nd, in 3, it will use 1st, 2nd and 3rd. etc In other semi automatics (I've only driven the mazda 6 auto), if you choose 3, it will only be in 3rd. When you slow down to a traffic light in 3, and leave it there, you'll be pulling off in 3rd. The Aurion will automatically choose 1st, 2nd and 3rd for you as you go up from the traffic light. I think Blinky is talking about Sport mode, not Mnual mode - In Manual mode you can change gears a lot faster than the old L, 2, 3 , D .... In sport mode, it works like normal Auto except it changes gears at higher rev. BH

The above number is from AS which means the test ran on a very ideal condition. Normally we have to add 10 - 15% on the top of their numbers. Yours is over 16l/100, a bit too high I have posted few numbers of my Presara, (just over 10,000 this week) using 4 types of petrol and average about 30km/h most of the time (home to work & back). I get around 10.7l/100km. Moving to the CBD, I have to ride public transport from this week that means a lot weekends running around to cover 25,000k/year. BH

JRC, Thanks fo the info - definitely "heat" problem - I drove the car from work back home (it's Friday) the light was red but after running air cond for 30mins or so, it changed back to green. Again, many thanhks and hope they will find out something. BH

Good evening all, Just having a stupid question: My light was red last night - back to green this morning and then red again on the way home today - Have you got any idea why ? I may to call ToyotaLink. (Note: The car was sitting/standing under the sun for the whole day). Thanks, BH

A bit confusion - the book says 7500 and 15000 - my sticker (after the first free service) says 10000 and my fleet manager also say 10000. Anyway I will book mine for 10000 to see the "real world". BH

Been there, seen that - as soon as you driving the car out of the car yard, they don't even remember your name after zillion of phone calls a week before. All of them BH

Thanks for the info - I will try the one at Tulla one day, just for testing. As mentioned in one of my post before, my Shell card can't pay for V-Power Racing, must come out from my pocket. Regards, BH No way I could get less than 10 with my Presara as shown, I give up now: My daily 33 km from home to work in the morning, around 55 mins to 1 hour. Same route on the way back takes longer, best time 1 hour 13 minites. Other trips: shopping trips on weekends and few long trips as mentioned above and 2 trips to Ballarat. I may run with V_Power from now on. I'm happy with 10-11 with rating for Aurion is 9.9. BH

Hi Wixy, Totally agree - as mentioned elsewhere in this forum and even in this thread. My current Presara is not perfect but I've made my choice over other cars including Peugeot, VW, BMW and Merc. I am still owing a BMW but just to please my wife. Please don't tell me "Euro" cars are more "reliable". BH

I've got this sometimes but actually the seat belt, not the seat - I just pull the seat belt lock up and ok. BH

I believe we have discussed this - From my memory: No point to have HID on the high beam because HID takes time to get full "power" which is no good, the life would be very short. BH

As I've posted: just get few numbers and then shopping around but don't tell the sales person. BH

I can show you all my papers/invoices for my BMW318i (a) After 23 months, one cyl failed (could not use the car for 3 days), (B) After 45 months, the engine failed (2 nights slept away from home), © After 60,000k brakes failed and failed again just after 90,000k other small items not listed BH

I believe this is a common problem with all Aurions - My Presara has same noise but only sometimes - Many owners in this forum say the same thing and the dealer keeps saying can't hear it - This may be true because they may test my car only a short distance. My old Toyotas (still keep one) have not had any problem. BH

I should not post the numbers here but you have posted this therefore I'd like to add: For normal customers, get the above number + GST + 2,000/2,500. (Quote thru work normally w/o GST, if GST included in the quote your mum will get it less than 30K). BH

Talk this way - My car is a leased car (salary sacrified). Shell card allows me to buy petrol, oil from any Shell services station (not other companies) in the country. They check the card and the car any time I fill up (it is illigal to use card for other car). BH

Thanks for the info - I will try the one at Tulla one day, just for testing. As mentioned in one of my post before, my Shell card can't pay for V-Power Racing, must come out from my pocket. Regards, BH

Fleet Manager such as FleetPartners, FleetCare, Custom Fleet ... BH

Could be "privacy" thing, BH

Left hand site speaker (rear): I think something to do with Toyota Link - It should have backup battery but check with them, you may have to re-activate this facility. BH

1. Floor sales staff don't look after fleet customers 2. You get a quote from your Fleet manager first, this quote will show you how much then go to few dealers, they will stop somewhere but normally not much, only few hundred $ because all of them have to follow a book from Toyota. BH

Does anyone know we have V-Power Racing in Victoria ? I may try with my pocket money (because my Shell card can only use up to V-Power and can not use at any other service stations). BH

Probably that is my case - I have to use 100% Shell Optimax/V-Power for my other car, nothing I can get out from that. BH
