No worries. Great to hear this has helped you out. I had to persistently search for it based on what I had left on my mind, so I would never have expected anyone to be able to find that post easily.

There was something I remember reading some time ago which may or may not be of use here. It doesn't hurt to check though. After about 10 minutes of searching the forum, I have managed to track it down: Dual Aircon Problem

In that case: P/N: P7398 http://catalog.baldwinfilter.com/PartSpecification.asp?URL=LoadParts.asp&VehicleRef=1&partnumber=P7398&Appln_No=53893&Year=2007&Make=TOYOTA&Model=Camry&Desc=V6%2D211+%283%2E5L%29+FI&DisplayBackButton=0

I always use genuine mainly because I have had no issues with it and the cost isn't that bad. If I was to use another brand, I would probably go for a Ryco (R2648P). You could get a K&N (PS-7020) if you want as they are a reliable brand, but I personally don't like the look of the filter compared to the genuine one. I know those plastic ends probably don't affect the flow at all, but I'm picky like that. On that note though, if you look at the filter material on the K&N and compare it to the genuine filter, there probably isn't all that much difference.

Don't have the money to take on the challenge. Plus it would never be approved for road use in Queensland: http://www.tmr.qld.gov.au/~/media/4885d177-931d-48a8-8844-0594087988e8/vsil10lightvehiclereplacementsuspensionmodifications.pdf

Only one way to find out.

Good that it is at Hoppy's too because: 1) The car needs a scrub it looks filthy from the kicked up road grime and, 2) Hoppy's is in close vicinity to BP in case I need to get some ice cream to cool the burn if it messes me up beyond what I can handle.

It would appear so.

Doesn't simply work like that unless you build a specific bypass module to do so. That involves messing with your wiring to the ABS actuator.

Yes. Definitely there tomorrow. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0APBemFGUdU

I would be guessing the one next to the high beam adjusts the high beam. Because they are set to go distance, you probably need to increase you test distance to start to see what you have done.

Whilst the GoPro is a good camera, there are limitations which do not make it ideal for a car "black box" style recorder as per the OP. What you primarily must have in a car "black box" style recorder (which the GoPro does not have I believe) is the ability to automatically start recording when you drive. Most of them do this by starting recording the moment power is applied from the power adaptor such as when the car is turned on. This combined with recycle recording means you never need to physically touch the camera until you need to take the memory card out to get the video of a recent event.

Heaps of places sell them, they are copy of an AD100 and a very poor copy at that, I would be very hesitant connecting one to my car because they have been known to do damage... but what do you expect for a cheap crappy counterfeit tool :) And as long as you have a master key you don't need any OBD tools for most Toyotas. Not sure if you got my drift but I was trying to get him to promote a particular website so I can confirm he is a spambot. I thought the Terminator reference would have given away the fact I'm onto him. I'm not into crap like this.

So "byaninek"... ever head of a banstick? Is it compatible with and OBD programmer?

Out of curiosity, where would one get this "T300" you speak of. Not the T-300 tough. I want to live.

Follow the procedures in the service manual to determine how much oil you need: U660E_Automatic_Transaxle.pdf

I think you fail to factor in the engine size and/or power curve of the engine. Just because your Camry sits at a lower rev at a given speed, it doesn't mean the 86 is "definitely too high".

I'll definitely be trying this one; it certainly makes sense. My Aurion is starting to do this now (9,000km since last oil change... like clockwork) so it would be a good time to test it. Strangely enough, I only get it when I park outside when I'm out and about. I have never had it once do so when I am at home parked in the garage. Can't explain that one.

Probably late to chime in on this, but there is some discussion that can be found over on the Aurion board too. Is this kinda the sound you were referring to? If so, here's a post I prepared earlier from a while ago before it was really defined as to what the cause really was. It gives a bit of insight of how the noise is produced however: That's what I'm thinking. It seems to be coming from the upper part of the block. It's similar to the sound of that intake control valve closing, but more metallic. It just has me stumped. Maybe it really is the VVT-i mechanism. When you see a video animation of it working, you can kind of picture how it can generate a knock/rattle sound if it doesn't have appropriate oil pressure in it. The mechanism is like this for those that don't know: Having a quick look at the service manual, maybe it ties in with the so called 'lock pin':

Yeah. Awesome like this guy: http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/sunnybank/cars/the-best-looking-aurion-you-can-found-big-money-on-it-/1002786833

Welcome. FYI. There is some information in the first thread of this sub-forum you posted in:

Please go back a page and look again.

I think what Ozzcaddy is referring to is your typical comprehensive/fire, theft & third party insurance from someone like AAMI, etc. Should you hit some wildlife or another car, even if it's their fault, no insurance means you will have to cover all repairs.

Yep.
