Hi, you very likely have low 12v battery and most like you will need to fully charge it with smart charger or replace with new one. Hybrid battery will be ok on a 5 years old car. If you don’t drive regularly or not long enough each time you start the car 30 min + your 12v battery is likely dead. Buy new battery and your faults will most likely disappear and after 500 miles book your hybrid battery health check for your future warranty .

The car looks very good underneath. No rust, no problems.

Hi, you can use this side to find your model and parts numbers. https://japancars.ru/index.php?route=catalog/toyota

Had anything changed prior to the key stopping starting e.g. new key case or battery change had the key been opened for any reason?

If we use AC in any car we should keep it on all the time and preferably in auto mode. It’s absolutely not necessary to turn AC off few minutes before we arrive at our destination and we park the car, it’s actually totally wrong. Every time AC is turned ON after a period of inactivity it will introduce bad odour to the interior. If we play with AC and turn it off before we switch off the car will be the same affect and also we may get foggy windows. The reason is simple, once the AC is off the already cold evaporator will very quickly become warm and wet and the air from dry will become ultra moisturised and the fan will send this damp air straight into the interior. Turn AC on, set your preferred temperature and forget are the best settings in any car with climate control. Play with ac on or off and you will have ba d smell. For those who doesn’t like ac in cars all year around and only use them through the summer months there is no problems at all. No need to run it to keep it working. Now from my car re gas today update. For 4 years and over 120 000 miles the AC systems has only lost 90gr of gas out of 470 and 3gr of oil. Vacuum test pass ok and they refilled the systems with gas and oil again. This is my third time doing ac regas, first was in 2016, then 2020 and now 2024. I am using ac on all the time since last summer, all previous years I had only used ac during hot weather and sometimes ac been off for over 5-6 months, and when turned on always been working fine. Cabin filter change 3-5 times a year with every oil change. 👍

I didn't see that. I've used them twice in the last year with no problems but something's changed. No reply to 2 emails, phoned 5 times on 2 different numbers nobody answering. Maybe they've gone bust. Hopefully eBay/PayPal will refund my money.

Which model Aygo do you have? It may make a difference as to the advice you need. What is a glass tear window?

Oh that's a lovely one - Don't seen one in that colour very often! It sounds like you've changed almost everything except the actual engine

That's one thing I love about the Mk4 - I can follow the dawdler down the on-ramp at 30-40mph at a safe distance, sighting for nice big gap - If there is one, as soon as I hit the dashed lines I can launch hard, sweep into the middle lane and burn past them doing 70mph before the dawdler has even moved out into lane 1 It's extremely obnoxious as the engine will be well past 5000rpm and that 3-pot ain't quiet at full chat, but man it feels awesome And if there isn't a big safe gap I just follow them out real slow on electrics-only... until there is one It's something about the hybrid 'CVT' that I don't think reviewers really appreciate - I don't think any other car can react that quickly without needing any pre-planning or pre-setup. Even my old Mk1 D4D, although it had significantly more torque than the Mk4 does, would need a bit of a wind up to get the turbo going before I could even think about doing something like that and you'd have to commit to following or overtaking a lot earlier, couldn't make a last-minute snap decision like you can in the Mk4. (And I didn't even attempt anything like that in the Mk2 as I knew that petrol engine just wouldn't have coped )

Worth considering but probably wouldn't help since everyone would still post everywhere There were early threads discussing specifically the Yaris or Yaris Cross and those still had a lot of cross-pollination and subsequent confusion. Even the Corolla and RAV4 forums aren't safe! I don't think it's a limited/special edition - I've not noticed anything saying it was a limited run like the original 'Launch Edition' trim (Which was basically a fully loaded Excel with puddle/footwell lights and red+black two-tone paint but weirdly missing the parking sensors)

Yes 2.61

I can see these

1997 Toyota Hiace KZH138 with the 1KZ-TE engine. Van will intermittently stall while driving (on the highway). Most often it will start back up after coasting to the side of the road. On occassion it will take some time before it will start again. When it won't start I notice the CEL and Glow plug lights are not illuminated. Now it won't start at all, again all lighs on dash illuminate when key is ON or ACC but not the CEL or glow plug. It won't crank, no clicking from starter. When it stalled on highway there was no sputtering, engine just shuts off without any symptoms or warning. Altenator is new, voltage at battery is 12+ when off and 14.4 when running. ECU was swapped and no change. Replaced 2 relays (spill valve and diesel main engine) and no change. Starter was rebuilt a year ago and no issues since, again it won't even click likes electricity is getting to the starter. Any ideas on where to start?

Pleased to hear that it works! There's quite a lot of detail in the manual, for my car anyway, about when the system will switch to high beam and when it won't; I didn't copy and paste all of it above. In a nutshell, it isn't designed to switch to high beam on roads with streetlights, so it looks as though it is working as intended.

Blueprint, Febi, First line. These three brands are high quality aftermarket for Japanese cars.

Oh it’ll pick you up for less than that!!!

Topic moved to the Yaris forum.

I hate the folk that mimse down the slip road to dual carriageways/motorways. I give it the beans in third, to join at around 60MPH, so I can merge with the HGVs, then bulk change up to sixth when i'm up to 70. I was once given a driving assessment by an ex-plod who asked when I joined a dual carriageway via an uphill slip road in a non-turbo diesel, if I could have accelerated any faster. I honestly replied "I don't think so". Neither could I, he agreed!

If anyone could upload or give me links for USB 1 and 2 i would be thankful. I have USB3
