Borneo have CNY servicing promo?

There was some free nano air-con clean thing... not sure if it's any good, but it left my car smelling like lemon pledge.

Oooh, so that's what was in the box. Thanks for the picture! I was there yesterday too... had to reject the box for the sake of my waistline. I knew that once I looked inside, I'd eat the whole thing myself! Hehe...

Oh, I have a question: does anyone know where I can get replacement wiper rubber inserts (i.e. not the entire wiper blade, just the rubber part)? 
This is the all I could find so far, but I don't know if it fits or if it's any good... and which type to get for my 2011 GS300:

Can I get this from a stockist? Or even Autobacs or something?

Thanks!

Just go any Toyota stockist. I have bought a few sets of rubber from TransGlober for my ride and change a few times (quite simple). The original wiper body (plastic/metal part) is indestructible and very high quality. Don't waste money to buy replacement cheapo 3rd party wipers.

Thanks! I've just emailed Transglober to enquire.

I didn't hear back from them... Perhaps I should just call them instead of using the online form. 😅

Anyway, I found what I needed at Autobacs, in case anyone comes to this forum looking for the same thing in future. $18.95 per side.

Thanks, everyone!

Yeah 😞

I reckon if I were to drive on normal mode instead of eco I’ll be getting maybe 7+km/l

Asked about my FC at BM they told me normal.

Bro, you cannot depend on all the new-gen communication methods. Most of the stockist are all old school shops.

You either call them direct, or you visit them physical. Do not try to email/IG/FB them and expect them to behave like your hippie cafe in replying.

I have visited TransGlober, but recently got most of my stuff from RicTat or GS auto which are situated side by side at Owen road.

It is a bit overpriced now at around 280k real pricing.

Nice car but many elements are still below X3 and GLC (new model coming soon)
