Toyota Owners Club

Hi Marlon Thanks for letting us know the conclusion. Rather annoying that it just failed while you weren't using the car, almost a red herring to think that it was related to being laid up and not just a unit failure. Glad its resolved for you now and hopefully not too expensive. Cheers, Trevor

Thanks for the YouTube links Regina...very useful as I am also thinking of wrapping some interior trim panels and wouldn't have known how to go about it

Good idea Valdy Dreimanis....hadn't thought of that one, plenty of different finishes as well

Hi Regina...welcome to the Forum I would be tempted to either buy some used parts in better condition or as you say, respray them with plasticote, but not sure you will get an exact colour match.

Hi I think I would consult Drivetime as to their warranty policy and who is allowed to carry out this work without invalidating the cover

Hi Mark...welcome to the Forum It certainly looks in great condition for the year and the mileage....I think you got a good deal there! Probably worth checking the EVAP system for the fuel tank breather side of things if the tank is gassing then it may be blocked. Good to have you onboard Cheers . Trevor

Lisa Durgin . How's life with the Camry? Is it as you expected and how does it compare to the Ford?

Don Shore . Hows the restoration coming along Would love to see some more photos of it as its progressing Cheers, Trevor

Hi Jeff Teague ...welcome to the club Good to have you onboard! Feel free to post up any Toyota videos on here and they will also go into the video section on the forum. Cheers, Trevor

Hi Jan Didawick ....welcome to you, and Graycee Good to have you onboard, and have to say....great to see an older Toyota still looking good and going strong! Cheers, Trevor

Hi....and welcome!

Hi Mixalis Tsar and welcome to the club. good to have you onboard

Hi Debbie133...welcome to the Forums I would probably entrust the installation to an authorised installer as the system would need to be wired correctly to work with the CanBus system. If it is wired incorrectly for the vehicle then it can interfere with the onboard electronics with disastrous effect.

can only think that the radar is contaminated with dirt or dust which may be inhibiting the readings or alternatively, there could be some Radio frequency interference affecting it (if it occurs on the same stretch of road each time?)

I assume if the base plate fittings are the same dimension then they should fit

Sounds like the Coolant Temperature Sensor/ThermoSwitch is faulty or the wiring leading to one of the fans. I would bridge the connectors on the plug going into the sensor and if the fans run with the ignition on then it has to be the sensor at fault

it sounds very similar to the issue I have with my 2007 Honda CRV which has the opposite problem. To make calls, I have to dial the number on the phone, hang up and then press the phone button on the wheel and announce 'redial' for it to then go through the cars' audio system. When an incoming call comes in then I can answer that straightaway through the cars' controls. The reason is that the call has to come through the cars' audio system and I think in your case it is not when you receive a call. You may be able to alter the settings but I don't think that will work. Maybe the only way is to hang up and dial the number so you end up making the call....a complete pain but 2007 was at the start of voice control and phone connectivity and as such the technology is quite primitive by today's standards. Let us know if you do find an alternative method to get it working sensibly.

Can you upload the image so we can see which components you are referring to, thanks

Hi blakehanna welcome to the Club Glad you're enjoying your Camry and feel free to ask any questions on here. Good to have you onboard

Sounds like the indicator relay at fault....maybe worth checking that before condemning the stalk.

Hi Szergei...welcome to the Forum You may find that if you drive on the right hand side of the road the same as the Americans do then there should be no difference whatsoever and I would try to find an alternative garage that can realign your steering/suspension for you

Hi Jamie....welcome to the Forums

Hi both....welcome to the Forums

lol...you don't want to know what I call mine...but it does change on an almost daily basis...depending upon how reliable it is on the day

Hi Robbie...welcome to the Forum The Camry is a superb car and should give you plenty of years great service Good to have you onboard
