Jonny2TG: Thanks heaps for your very detailed replies!!
No wonder why they didn't find the "engine noise" problem, coz I told them it comes from the engine.... I will have to live with that...
For the drive shaft..
If I get you correctly, it means that there is a rubber drivershaft boots over each of the 4 CV joints...right?
And aftermarket CV boot for $35 only?  You reckon they are asking me to pay $300 for one genuine CV boot? + labour extra
And I suppose Toyota don't sell anything apart from genuine, right?
I will take your advice and pay Repco a visit..and c if I could find those shaft boots and probably get Kmart Auto to fix it..
What do u think?
For the brake noise, nah, you could hear the noise when u drive down the driveway early in the morning... so i suppose others are having the same problem by design....not just mine
I will forward your suggestions on how to make the brakes quieter to my mate... hope he could do some tweak to it..
For the battery, I reckon RACQ must have intenationally put a 440CCA in instead of the correct 510CCA, they have done it three times in three years...which makes the engine starp-up slower and less smooth...I will try and get them to put a 510CCA in..
I will certainly go to Repco and get my own battery next time.. I doubt the one RACQ put in is anything near new...
Yup, i understand the service is a regular maintanence...it wouldn't make the car any better than the orginial one..
Once again, thank you so much for your replies...
And to all others who have helped... a big Thank you!
