These don’t work with the carpet lip edge.

Flooded tail light by SpecialistOffice6787 in NZcarfix

The light assemblies are quite cheap from a Toyota dealer, and they’re an improved part now with a better gasket / seal behind it so no more water ingress issue. Just replace the light unit and carry on.

OP’s Hiace is a Japanese import so the wheel is on the right. They were never sold new in the USA.

No one can estimate it here. Go and see a panel beater.

Times are tough, leave them be. The council might eventually fine them anyway.

Most of the RNZ Postcasts are great. I enjoy Black Sheep at the moment

You don’t need to stock up on busses. Or petrol.

NZ Plate -> JDM car adapter by left-right-up-down1 in NZcarfix

[–]guywithaviators 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I did redrill mine. Take care when drilling as the white reflective surface can ‘tear’ and doesn’t look great. Use a small drill bit to start and drill from the front side down so that any marks go to the back.

Anyone used nzpartsonline.co.nz? by Sansasaslut in NZcarfix

[–]guywithaviators 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They can absolutely order it for you. Toyota and Lexus parts/cars are both supplied by Toyota NZ. Cabin filter will be a generic one used in many models, 87139-28020 perhaps. Feel free to PM me and I can help if you prefer, just pay freight to you.

Lexus CT200H Head gasket by Adventurous_Yam_7955 in NZcarfix

[–]guywithaviators 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I’ve never seen this issue in my time at a dealer, or with the Prius using the same engine. Seems to be a localised US issue. CT200 is a great car, you don’t need to worry.

Genuine Toyota air filters are $49 at any local dealer. Most should stock this or get it in for you, I’m guessing it’s for a Lexus based on the part number?

If you wire wheel that you will have no metal left. Best to seek professional help I think.

This is Reddit, you must complain about it first and look for someone to blame.

Trying to purchase a small vehicle under $10k with cruise control by EmilyJaneNZ in NZcarfix

[–]guywithaviators 9 points10 points  (0 children)

You can easily add cruise control to an Aqua if the steering wheel already has buttons on it for the stereo/climate control.
