during the day, when the running lights are on, whichever side indicator you turn on, the same side running light turns off during the time the indicator is blinking.

you could not of waited long-enough for your car:lol:
Us that waited 6 months+ read every page and post in these forums
Jumping into the WK2 was like putting on an old well worn shoe, knew were everything is (almost) no surprises, took some of the edge of of getting a new car.
But have to laugh the sales women repeated several times the jeep logo in the headlight.
We are doing our first family road trip to Dubbo Zoo and a farm in Bathurst next week.
I will be keen to see the fuel figures as we are doing 14's currently with only short trips.
I will also get to do some off roading, but only basic stuff, nothing hard core.
that us great fuel economy towing.
The floor mats do come with the GC's, but are the carpet ones.
If you want slush mates, you will need to either get the generic ones from the auto store or ask Jeep Oz if they have any yet.
After 4500k in my crd, about 50 50 city country, 10l per 100 , never really looked at the economy till now, just wondering if it resets itself every 1000k?
What a car!, unbelievable price for the car. I got out of a Mercedes E350 and I am not missing any comfort or luxury. Its quiet as a mouse, QL suspension is awesome, and the uconnect is the best phone syste I have ever used - it smokes the COMAND merc system. Rear seats are great, tons of room when they are down, love the keyless entry and start and just cant belive it cost so little. The guys at my office all drive Toyo Playdos's and call it my H(j)eep but i can tell they are shocked at paying double the price for their rides...
Things I want but cant find - AEV wheels and the right size offroad tyres (MTZ/ATZ or SCII maybe), Mopar Rock Rails in AUstralia, a Trail rated badge not available form my dealer and neoprene or canvas seat covers. Also dead keen on front bar with winch.
Cheers
Oh and I am geeting 10.6L/100K and I commute every day 60Ks each way highway+city. Wow!
Yer Rolfe motors in phillip. I ordered back in mid-may. I was first promised end of august, but then was told I missed out on the allocation and it would be November.
I have ordered the white gold with the new saddle interior, which has been confirmed several times. The dealers also confirmed that it will be an MY2012 v8 with the 6spd auto
Noticed some thing today.
The power steering pump brand "Toyoda".
What I can find is Toyoda was the family name of the founder of Toyota.
Toyoda is a subsidiary of Toyota.
Not sure is Japan made, may be is USA made http://www.toyodagosei.com/
By the way, I think by today more than 50% of the car parts come from "all over world" market.
A heritage of innovation, a legacy of leadership
Founded in 1949, Toyoda Gosei is a customer-driven, global company that researches, develops and manufactures products of exceptional quality for a variety of industries, from automotive to agriculture to telecommunications.
We take pride in our:
Historical foundation in the Toyota Production System.
Global leadership that establishes best practices for quality standards.
Cost-effective products, delivered right the first time.
Culture of continuous improvement that establishes manufacturing benchmarks.
Hehehe yes understand
By the way the producers of car parts are not so many all over world.
So if You look into each car component, You can find big surprises.
And not just small pieces but also platforms.
Well the ship docks in Melbourne tonight, now the real wait begins...I was told turn around time would be about 10 days but boy I hope its sooner
You may hope so???
My WK2 took longer to go from the Port of Melb to finally in my garage than it took from Curtis Bay to the Port of Melb ...remember dealer 10 days may really be 20 to 30 days.
Anyway I hope that 10 days is right you will enjoy when it finally comes.
Mine was one week from when the ship docked in Brisbane to delivery. So far very happy when I get a chance I'll post some pics. Putting the roof cross bars on this weekend (Low profile Thule). So far 800Klms in two weeks and averaged 9.5L around Brisbane (CRD)
Came across this website today really cool I have been tracking the ship all day and watching its progress as it sails in through the heads. I think Ive got to much time on my hands today but it has kept me amused. http://www.switchbanks.com.au/shiptracking.html
