  1. Do you have the start up rattle as well as this issue?
  2. There is no point cross posting as this can be seen when viewing latest posts. The sensor should be in the sump. Once you find it, unplug the connector and see if the light goes out or stays on. A very crude way of testing the wiring will be to use a small piece of wire or paper clip in either of the (should be)two pins. Check the light again. If the light is switching on and off, the wiring should be ok and the sensor will be an issue. It is relatively common for oil level sensors to fail due to the environment they work in.
  3. Road and Track have closed down and Terry has retired. He may still be doing a little side work though. A box out and bearing repair can easily fall in the $2000-$3000 range.
  4. Are you sure it's grease? It may be anti squeal paste.
  5. Just remember that when you accelerate in a FWD car, the front wheels are naturally trying to toe in. If there are any worn steering/suspension components or a poor alignment, the symptoms can become amplified.
  6. I would assume you are over the gap or the range then?
  7. I may be able to somewhat, with two of those many questions. First: Steering rack, I work wih a guy who builds hot rods in his spare time and where he can, he prefers to use Holden Camira racks due to the positioning of the input shaft. Second: There are guides found via Google on how to read the VIN and chassis numbers. It is fairly generic.
  8. The carrier bearings do. But they have no impact on the diff centre.
  9. Many timing belts have moved to 150,000km now. I would personally still do it at 100,000km though.
  10. Throw some Kluger front calipers and rotors in. Direct bolt on, big brake upgrade.
  11. Sadly no. I was speaking generally, as you were. It's a clutch type setup and a poor example at that.
  12. This is incorrect, there are muliple different types of LSD. The torsen LSD is nearly perfect for FWD vehicles due to the way it biases torque.
  13. That is probably the dodgiest "LSD conversion" I have ever seen. A bench grinder, seriously?
  14. It probably isn't a common issue for an engine this new that has been maintained correctly; however, this one has not. I personally have an Aurion with similar kms and I do not have this issue, but it has always been maintained correctly.
  15. Have you checked your oil level? If the level is correct, have the oil pressure tested. Avoid driving it until this has been done as you may cause catastrophic damage to the engine. If all of this is fine; only then, look to see if the sensor is functioning correctly.
  16. That's what the VIN number is for. If you need parts, give that to the person at the Toyota parts department. You could also use the month and year along with the chassis code(MCV20)like everyone else does. This is especially helpful at Repco, etc. I am in the industry and noone uses the extended model code.
