funny that u mention it sr06, i have really felt that in the last month the steering has been getting really bad.
Sometimes it feels like there is nothing assisting, other times its ok.

don't know if its just me going crazy or not.

did you have any pre-cursors to yours going?

sr06

Mine goes in next Wednesday to have my steering pump repaired going to be off the road for the length of a piece of string, better than the transfer case that I first thought was the noise.

Just had the 5000km service.

Got them to check:-
noisy engine - within spec
virtually no hand brake - adjusted , MUCH better now
poor brakes - prob the rears after drum brake adjustment.

apart from that all good.

I did notice that the radio had been changed and a cd was put in, not that I mind, in fact quite the reverse - I've had $1800.00 worth of noise 'stuff' fitted, glad to see others enjoy it!

All up it cost $145.00

cheers

wombat,
how come you paid for the 5000 service, it should be for free, even if they did adjust all those things?

i would be furious if someone had been playing around with my new $1800 stereo!!! i bet if they blew a speaker they would deny touching it!!!!

Only the first service at 1000ks is free because they don`t do stuff all.
Next one is not due til 10,000ks

$161 for 10000km service in Ballarat.

Bought to the top for still-lurking and others. Keep it going.

i got my 10,000km service done today for $150. Also, as Stu-k said, the 1000k service should be free.

Wow, that's all so cheap !

Looks like there's a difference in price depending on what dealer you go to as well.

My last service on the Volvo (XC70 -70K) was over $900 and the cheapest one was $380. :x

Just had the 50 000k service done @ $241.... but that is through the new leasing agency fleet maintenance orgainisation. Aparently I get better discounts through them...THe service was carried out by the Local Toyota dealership... CHeers TOMUCH

I just had my 30 000K service for $201 at Toyota in Broome I'm happy with that

Who pays 70 odd bucks for 6.5L of oil? Toyota recommends Castrol RX Super which you can pick up for $90 from supercheap for 20 litres! I would be taking my own! We are changing fuel filters regularly too, as there have been several reports of injector pumps dying, and at around $8000 they aren't being covered by warranty. I did the 10k service on our SR5 last week and the fuel filter was filthy.

toyota's own oil i'm pretty sure is blended by caltex 20w/50 but still not 10 bucks a litre .
we only have to use the right grade with a cf4 rating.
i pay about 63 dollars for 10 litres of penrite hpr 15 diesel.
most of sr5's prices seem to be highly inflated really except the brake fluid where i think to change the brake fluid completely and the clutch cos they are the same resiviour would be more than 500 mls

Im getting my 10k done on 28th at Seymore Toyota IN VIC ,I will let u no price after job done
Cheers Garry

190,000 service was $338 including changing front brake pads at Goulburn City Toyota

Can you believe that Toyota Malaysia uses monograde SAE 40 oil for our Hilux?

Over here we use the Toyota's own brand for lubricants.

I actually use Toyota's 15w/50 multigrade mineral oil instead of the SAE40 monograde.

Those sissy idiots asked me why am I using a petrol engine oil when it is actually suitable for diesels too with a rating of CF for diesels and SL for petrol.

Cheers
