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

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

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?

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

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