It should be a warranty fix. Mine is "designated" a creak rather than rattle and for the 4th time is going in this week. They need it for a few days, so it's obviously not an easy fix and the previous post on here about the origin being up near the windscreen and most of the dash needing to be pulled out rings true. We will see how we go. If mines not sorted this time, I'm selling it.

been awhile guys. had an accident christmas eve. will post some pics when i get a chance. ours are at 38 and wearing slightly more in the middle. if you want even wear, 35 sounds about right. for a kxr anyway.

thanks for the tip. think i was 14 when I did my first wheel alignment.

its only a wheel alignment Taka, its not rocket science.

No, they like to check wheel alignment on the first service to make sure things are all good. I don't think it's a high priority from the factory.

Wheel alignment won't be covered under the 150 deal. Unless you complain well.

you won't be disappoinnted.

Exactly like my car with half the Kms sound coming from the middle right section of the dash but I don't drive it that much like you no offence, but aside from the bloke here with the oil leak, the customer service from Toyota (the few times you need it) they are night and day in comparison. I'm sure there are good and bad dealers but I think on the whole the customer satisfaction from Toyota ownership is brilliant. Other car makers call Toyota bland (Ford Forumers in particular seem to delight in this), but I think this is a backhanded compliment because you don't have to think about them. I love buying Australian, but when it comes to cars, nobody puts them together like the Japanese!

cheers Ric. its up for its 30K service so I'll log it with them. its the wifes car, so I only notice it when i infrequently drive it.

mines a KXR and the horrible rattle comes from directly above the reverse camera display. anybody have this same rattle??

the old man has both these issues. the clunk was reduced around 90% (his claim) on its first service) by greasing and the oil use was around 1/2 litre per 1000k's I believe. the clunk he can live with, the oil use he ain't impressed with at all. same with a few things like missing power outlets etc.

Dealer said to put 1 premium tank in every 4 fills purely as a cleaning agent. We have pretty much followed this advice and to be perfectly honest have noticed ZERO difference in fuel economy. Thats using E10, normal unleaded and Premiums from all suppliers. No need paying for fuel that makes no difference. Whatever small margins you MAY increase economy and power by using higher rated octane DO NOT justify the LARGE increase in cost.

interesting. i'll shoot off an email to my dealer. see what reply i get.

nice pickup.

Is that a 5 or 7 seater? Cheers. only 5 seater. we are a family of five 2 adults 2dogs and 1 cat.
