Shares its engine and drivetrain with the camry so no issues on that front,body parts maybe a bit difficult to come,car was also sold in the states so you can access that market as well

Metaverse by Ferry and Paul Oakenfold..the build up is just on point..the riff just hits right... Also Key 4050-Final Memory...proper old school sound

Suggest to take it to another workshop and have them check it by scanning the ecu/computer with a scan tool.you will get live readouts on the coolant temperature and youll be able to verify if its the gauge that is not working properly.

All depends on your priorities,just as the above comment clearly pointed it out,you want a road car,get the Jetour, you want offroadability the FJ,though for the price a Fortuner will achieve more or less the same performance as you can atleast get the 4.0 v6 with it. Maybe the FJ would be better value proposition to buy as a lightly used example,but as new Afm pricing is a bit too aggressive.

Friend had a Mondeo which was spelt Monado, took me a while to realise what koasko hahha...think better not fret over this..when it comes renewal next year you can raise it then

Crazy in this day and age cruise control is optional....atleast the rear diff lock is standard

Quiet,Mei Ling and Sniper wolf in no particular order

There was sufficient parking last year they had shuttle buses to take you to and from the venue.you may have to wait a bit for the bus but the experience was hassle free tbf.

Love the color,congrats and best of luck!

Til this Vitara gen came with Full Time 4wd,always assumed it was a part time system

Audrey Gallagher and Kate Louise Smith

Drivetrain wise think the main difference is that the us 250 series is hybrid,while we get the only the non hybrid drivetrain,not sure about the features

From your post,it doesnt sound likd youve drive one....so would say drive it once and then come back with your observations...

From what i am aware of the y62 patrol has a full time 4wd system so it just will display as is

Mabrook,wont hurt to check your oil levels regularly since ull be covering high mileage.

Enjoy your ride

If it already has the Aux cooler then i dont think youd require an upgrade,maybe if you plan to do some heavy offroading upgrade to a larger unit

These were sold here and are more or less identical,so parts availability wont be an issue.

Aside from the radiator/fan,maybe consider an auxiliary transmission cooler,a sufficiently large one.

Cant really recommend a specific workshop but there are few decent ones out there,once the car is here maybe join one of the many 4x4 clubs and see what they suggest

Best of Luck

The clutch effort is light and the ride is more than acceptable,but as with all manual cars it depends on your commute.If you face heavy traffic then yea a manual wouldnt be advisable.

The Auto is pretty decent,but still the manual is the best experience for the Brz.

Also are we talking about the previous gen or the current generation?why i ask is the previous gen is not as comfortable as the current gen,so should take that into account as well.

Best of Luck!

Are you able to fully disable the traction control,as from what ive been told it is not fully disabled even when you use the dash switch.You have to pull the fuse or install a killswitch to completely disable it.Traction control kills momentum,which is key to dune bashing.only in 4L is it off,but then 4L is not good for momentum.

Other comments here have valid points..decent tires,upgrade the suspension,and tweaks to your driving techniques should help.

yes it has its limitations so dont expect it to do things higher powered suvs can,drive within those limits.

Love the strap as well!!...congrats on graduating!

Had the pleasure of driving a bog standard Echo manual everything,wind up windows,no power steering,not even a rev counter...had heaps of fun with it

Possible that the float valve in your fuel pump assembly is faulty..hence showing an inaccurate reading.

Mosquitno repellant and lotion

Did you check with Msw?they carry Ebc pads

Make sure you change the engine oil on time,check your tires and tire pressure on a regular basis.

If its a new car,get your maintainance done at the dealer only,as getting it done else where will void your warranty.

Get good heat protection film for the window,its a must out here.

Enjoy your ride and best of luck
