Blackkluger

Hey that link, its exactly whats going wrong with my tires. Although i caught it early, there is some damage to the wear. If they align it properly i'll be happy and if they rotate as well. Toyota said they rotate them at 10k, and i would do it myself but its so much time wasted without the right tools. If i leave it till 10k, i reackon these tires will have had it, and i havent been driving hard at all, not like in the sv6! which can take corners with "enthusiasm". Especially with a newborn in it, im grandpa driving at the moment.

yes mines april or may 08.

update Well i thought this gearbox had tiptronic, so that i can change up the gears when i want, well not so. Once i shift from D to S4, its auto or S5 the same, but unlike the fords and holdens, which start at s1 and you change the gears when you want, i can leave this in S3 for example and it will upchange itself, not what i was expecting... with the sv6 holden with the 5 speed paddle shift, as with the ford i had before, i could change gears myself, all the S is doing i guess is choosing how many gears you want the car to use and it will change itself. whats the point of anything other than S5? unless im towing. very dissapointed in this feature(or lack of) but in S mode it does seem to kick down more willingly, but i dont think as much as i would like.

THEY ARE DEFINITELY DOUBLE SIDED TAKE AS the min KX was coming off, they had to replace the whole KXS as it comes as a set. Yes it is very hard to clean, try my black one, the dirt shows there like a sore thumb!

Yes, 240kw would give it that little extra umph! it needs especially when i find it doesnt change down a gear.

Would they really need a different bonnet? Theres plenty of space between the bonnet and the top of the engine, more than in the aurion?

Maybe they are like printers, the inks always a smaller capacity LOL

when u get news , please keep us informed, im very unimpressed with these SPORTS tyres in regards to their wear rate, i might as well tape $100 notes to it and it might last longer than the tyres.

I have 3 kids in seats from rear facing to two mai riders, they fit...just... very difficult with seat belts. My question is, anyone know of a c****at that uses the anchors for the 2nd row, which are between the flat part of the seat the the vertical back? They are also in my parents mercedes too,m which indicates these seats woudl be anchored not only from the back of the chair, but also on both sides on the seats as well, thats 3 anchors! Slide your fingers in there and see. Currently we cant use the 3rd row as once the 3 seats are in, rear facing prevents us to move it forward and also my wife needs a bit of space up front lol

I dont drive it like a sports car, always have them on 40psi, the dealer told me to check the alignment, its only 2.5mths old, come on, i shouldnt have to align it every 2 mths?? I better complaint, im good at it...

Ive only covered less than 7000ks and the front outside of these $500 rubber are looking very worn, i have the AWD, anyone else notice heavy wear? I dont go fast around corners, dont brake hard, i dont get it. It looks like 15000 wear!

Ive seen the T10 wedge around, about $4.00 each. I think they were $10! I was also thinking of the rear number plate light? Anyone know what type these are?

I did tell the sales rep and the service manager, they said they will get their pre delivery person to repolish the whole car, but i feared this would cause more problems in the duco. I will use cut and polish but as it is still new, i will do it when it is older. Just make sure no one else washes the car.

H4 for headlight, H11 for fog lights, does anyone know of the other lights in the car? Im looking at those LED lights as replacements.

Happened to us too, the dealer HAND WASHED it, as you do, missed a few spots, and the "professional" used what seems to be a dry shammy to clean the missed bits, half our car he had done has marks on it, back and right hand side. It had only less than 1000ks! I have not let anyone touch the car, and then my wife bumps the door into the carvan and chips the edge of the door...divorce papers are ready....LOL just kidding.

LOL same with my wife, she keeps it up at 14L while it seems to drop for me. Our avg for 6000kms is 13.4L since new, not too bad as it is 75% short slow trips and only 25% hwy. Going to adelaid so I will see how we go, i think this avg will drop into 12's, with AWD.

Yes the pedal was press firmly to the carpet. In fact, with age it might get faster as the carpet wears out...lol IF it has AI then im stuffed, my wife drives it and then me, so its trying to get a combo of both i guess?

maybe you got a few more wasps under your bonnet? lol I dont know, saving fuel as opposed to being in a situation where i expect it to change but doesnt, can put me in a bad spot. I dont like the manual changes, its 'backwards' to what i am use to so im more likely to make the situation worse!

Has anyone noticed that when you need more power, and you plant your foot, it wont change down gears, i have noticed a huge difference between this and the Commodore SV6 which would ALWAYS change down 1 or 2 gears, whereas im constantly finding the kluger wont change down at all. Anyone else noticed this? or maybe not? Its got good power, but it aint good power if it is in a gear too high...

I woudlnt think it would be comfy, well, not after getting out of the front seats lol I did find the back row quite good, even for a 6footer.

BLACK but its high maintenance...it will shine once summer comes around!

They might offer better protection in a rollover? I've got some generic ones which i tried it when i got the car, that is, cross bars, they fit perfectly. I got it for just $20 new but they are normally $100

I;d be very concerned with the leak, which is the main issue. The 'what seems to be poor service' is totally unacceptable. Good luck with it mate. I;ve only got dust in the engine bay.

LOL they will. Unless there is an override built in when trailer plug is in. I would doubt it...aint as good as x5 technology

Yes that hill descent is only on awd, so if thats there, it must be awd. Im sure no one would fake a fwd for an awd.
