[Danny_TTE_compressor]

Well as has become tradition its time for the monthly trip to the toyota dealers...................flickering Battery light, round 3.

was told originally it was a dodgy cable, that failed, then the alternator, thats failed, now what..........anyone had this happen?

what was it etc etc etc.

charging relay , dodgy earth any fault codes on ECU

[Danny_TTE_compressor]

dunno mate, i just leave it all to toyota. but it wont be long before i have to start problem solving......again!

[stoneyfordni]

maybe find a new dealer ?

phone customer care and give em hell :) ?

[Danny_TTE_compressor]

not a chance, york have stuck by the car when inchcape nottingham couldn wait to get rid. york have fitted 3 sets of discs, 6 exhausts and a ecu....amongst many other bits

[stoneyfordni]

jesus H *****

what happened to the exhsuats and the ecu

[Danny_TTE_compressor]

in the exhaust downpipe there is a divider for no real reason (makes the exhaust note meatier) but when the exhaust gets hots/cold hot/cold etc etc it snaps the welds, hey kept sending new ones (5 off) but they all failed after a month (each one) so there final solution was to fit a 2007 spec ecu, exhaust and lambner sensors (im told im the only one with this mod...)

[stoneyfordni]

am shocked

il just keep mine hot ;)

[Danny_TTE_compressor]

its a dead cert to go if you keep thrashing it like i tend to do.

[stoneyfordni]

i dont intend on keeping my stock manifold for long tbh

if it goes pete tong il remove the divider and be done with it

[Danny_TTE_compressor]

its not the manifold its the big section with the cat and everything built in (£1200 fitted by toyota) that ha the divider in. i told them to take in out and it sounds like the exhaust is blowing. they even took it to a fabricator and welded it (mig/tig) and that lasted 6 wks. so you are pretty stuffed unless you push for the '07 mod
