That sounds like RIP to me. A replacement engine should sort it but is it worth the time, effort and cost - if one is available?

This story about petrol not being right enough for the engine : are we really buying that ?

Why does the rear of these 2 Prius from the same generation look different? Is it because 1 is plugin hybrid? The grey prius rear looks better than the rear of the blue Prius

Am I correct in saying after your car mileage goes over 100K Toyota extends the hybrid battery cover to 15 years if you carry out a hybrid battery check every 12 months until your car is 15 years old? And you can service your car oil filter etc at independent garage too https://www.toyota.co.uk/own

Ok, i think your previous owner fitted an aftermarket led light bar across the front bottom. Does it help? Is it road/mot legal? Do include a pic if you can showing where its fitted on the Auris.

👌👍👍

Cheers Louie - I’ve just messaged Toyota CS about this, I’m happy to have it fitted FOC 👍

I think what Rab meant was, is the vehicle still registered to the previous owner on toyota.co.uk? The dealer/previous owner should have deleted it from their profile on the website.

Not in the UK. Available in Italy, France, Spain, etc.

is the highlander still available to order in europe/uk?

Yes

But still smaller than the current Highlander.

the rav4 has grown in size compared to earlier models.

i am thinking of getting the GR sport 2 next year, how does the GR sport model drive compared to the standard model?

Indy used some device to connect yo car to read codes, then removed the bsvk seat and showed me the mesh like filter near the fan it was totally covered in dirt blocked fully. Garage cleaned that up, put it back and seats and took the readings again and reset everything. Turned car off then back on and all the errors on the dash disappeared. Told me to drive the car around and if lights come back to bring thr car back, touch wood everything ok

might give an indication of possible styling for a new rav4 model.

But having a rumoured 3 rows of seats, will probably be similar to the Highlander.

Looks interesting.

the bz5x looks very similar size to the rav4.

bear in mind that if you break the £40k list price threshold on any of them that you will be paying an extra £410 VED per year for 5 years (of course, if your employer is paying for it all you needn't worry about that)

You should be bale to get your dealer to do ProTect for substantially less e.g. £300 Some dealers do a "Gold" package which is dashcam install & ProTect for £599/699 (can't remember which atm). As per Cyker if you decide that you want it but they won't budge for £500 I would definitely take it to a professional detailer for Gtechniq or similar ceramic.

ill add pics of the car part once i get home but this is the light I'm referring to. https://www.amazon.com/DREAMOTOR-Car-Hood-Strip-Light/dp/B0CLZPTP5T/ref=asc_df_B0CLZPTP5T?mcid=ac1afb4f963b38f39c45d3e195a12c7c&tag=hyprod-20&linkCode=df0&hvadid=693623322218&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=5457370383988413912&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9004356&hvtargid=pla-2275392226695&th=1 Thank you for any help.

I have had Goodyear Vectors on one of my cars, very good tyres.

I have similar issues with the 12V battery widely reported on this forum and fitted a BM2 battery monitor to keep an eye on the battery state from my phone so I could charge up when <12.2V. I noticed over the last 3 months when driving, the car the car holds 12.8V steady which does little to charge the battery. Today I did a 60 mile journey and checked the BM2 battery state and for the whole journey time the car was holding 14.4V which charged the battery pretty well to full. I am just curious why it did this today and can only assume it was due to the cold air temperature (3 deg C) or that I had the heated seats on, any ideas? If the car always did this I think the battery would stay fully charged much longer based on my weekly usage.

Hi & welcome to TOC. A photo or link to one of what you want to install would help others to help you. 😉
