Well you should be able to get them here for less, or maybe you guys could organize a bulk buy?

(I wish I had when I was getting hold of the ARB polybushes! Superflex sell them for £46.50 but Energy Suspension in the US sell them for $25.99 which is like, £15! However, Energy charge like, twice what it's worth for delivery to the UK! It would have been worth buying a job lot and saving on the delivery charges...!)

I suspect you could get a similar Battery or similar too...

One interesting note on the site was that you can disable the smart key system via a switch; Have any of you who have the Battery discharge problem tried switching that off? That would also make the silly "Your key is too close" thing a non-issue!

It's a Techstream option to disable the smart start/ entry, so easy enough to do...

But! The point is, I wanted, and paid for this facility, if the car will only work properly ( or at all ) with this disabled,

Then Toyota are selling faulty goods, knowingly, not fit for the purpose they were sold for.
