I noticed last Saturday (I took it in on Monday) that it blew some white smoke. Glad I had that bit of info so they could record it down as an issue for later (potentially). As I get it serviced from non-Toyota I don't get to see them very often. But they were quick.

Guys this might sound stupid, but those of you getting poor economy when doing highway/freeway travelling, is your box engaging 6th gear? My box needs to really be coaxed into 6th gear by really pulling back on the throttle when reaching the desired 100/110/120km speed, and drops back to 5th at the mere suggestion of an incline, which then results in another coax into 6th once on flat surface again. I usually get around 9-10l per 100 around Perth metro, and when on open road can get 7.5-8.0l per 100 when on the highway at 120. I don't drive it like I do my V8 Commodore, but I don't putt around either.
Re the ECU update, Ill get this done when my next service is due in 2000km.

At 100kmh, if you see about 2000rpm on the tach, then you are probably in 6th, but the torque converter is not locked. There was a gearbox firmware update earlier this year, but I didn't notice any change in the behaviour at highway cruise speeds.2016 Crystal Pearl Auto VX 2.8, TJM Bar, Safari Snorkel, Cooper AT/3, OME 50mm lift, Dual batts
