Interesting call from my dealer. Now that one or 2 insurers are quoting on the car then it is no longer deemed uninsurable and I have to come and collect the car as they can only hold it so long. Told them I wasn't going to be paying for overly expensive insurance because so few insurers recognise it They're not phased that the prices are overly expensive as it's a limited edition car and I should expect to pay more. 😃 So essentially it's just me being awkward now and I have to decide what I'm doing later today. Thinking that I'm just going to tell them to shove it

Maybe a cancelled order that sat unregistered and was last of the previous production.

@Bperthanks very much for the reply. However, I think your reply is the wrong way around! The March 2023 car I saw had the digital dash and no volume control on the multimedia screen. The June 2023 car I own has the volume knob on the screen and partial digital dash. Looking further into this, on my Toyota account for the VIN number it says under model "Corolla Hybrid MY22". I think I have been sold a car which was made in 2022 but for some reason, not registered until June 2023, but under the guise of a 2023 model.

A bit more news. I took this to an independent injection specialist in Exeter, who were recommended to me by some main dealer types as a good alternative. They are unable to find a fault with their denso branded diagnostics, and have said they can't interrogate the injectors like toyota can. If I take the Toyota diagnoses as correct, I thought to just get the independent to fit new injectors, but they have also said they cannot source the injectors right now. That cliff is looking more and more tempting for my Rav 4... Can anyone source injectors? Or shed any light on this?

Of course mr Bob, but I'm upset that my 4ZZ engine doesn't accept CC. 😞. Sorry for my addition.

Back in the car, AA setup and running wirelessly. I have yet to disconnect or power off. However I have introduced one quirk. My WiFi shows up as Toyota Smart Connect via Android Auto. If I now try and connect to Nextbase Wi-Fi it connects and immediately reverts to Toyota.

Hello, I was wondering if anyone can advise further, I have a Auris 2014 Hybrid, it passed its last hybrid battery health check last year which the result was "Good", however this year the battery drains out really quick and charges up fast and its only been a matter of months since the check, it doesnt seem to hold battery for more than 5 mins so I dont understand how it passed the health check. Would the hybrid battery be eligible under the battery warranty to get replaced for free by toyota or would the battery have to totally fail (not start up) to which then it would be covered under the warranty? To which if neither of these would they charge me if I wanted to get it replaced now as its still charging up and down. Thanks,

Toyota made some mid year updates to the 2023 Corolla Hybrid, including both interior design and engine options. Earlier 2023 March registration.This likely has the previous generation dashboard layout you saw, with physical volume buttons and a partially digital instrument cluster. Later 2023 June registration and yours falls into this category with the newer design featuring touch controls for volume on the multimedia screen and a fully digital instrument cluster. New 1.8L Hybrid System and this engine option became available in mid 2023, boasting improved fuel efficiency leading to the 106g CO2 emissions you saw. Previous Hybrid System your June 2023 Corolla Hybrid might have the earlier hybrid system, which explains the 111g CO2 emissions. Toyota introduced a new dashboard design and more efficient engine option around the mid-point of the 2023 Corolla Hybrid production year and it's possible your June 2023 model still has the earlier setup. Hope this helps.

Petrol Rav’s of that age are bullet proof , I had one for several years with only one o2 sensor to replace , don’t think it will be a major issue .
-
kosta's picture is of a 4.3; I'm guessing that your 2013 is a 4.4? (So different model and different accessories required.)
-
The problem is until the vast majority of vulnerable RAVs are protected and the thieves become aware of the added protection / model vulnerability visible deterrents will still need to be used. Car might be harder to steal but it can still be damaged when they try to steal it.
-
If you can't afford spending ~30€ for new sensor (or set of 4 from China ~40€) and don't afraid hard work you can replace battery with ~3€.

If you update your profile to show full details of your car - year, model grade and engine (as appropriate) - it will help forum members give better advice ... 😉

It's a gen 2, taking it to a friend's garage tonight and scanning it see if that sheds any light
-
incorrect oil or a bad pressure release, is that a gen2 or 3 rav4
-
I should state that is just the 1ndtv that didn't get CC

Thanks for your feedback. I am purchasing the rails for one specific journey, so I think I will go the cheapskate route ! Can you tell me if the rails were branded at all and what was the brand? TIA Les

Probably a one word answer

I watched a video the other day of an RAC Patrol man who turned up at a motorway service station to a customer who ran out of charge altogether. The customer knew he was low on charge, checked his app, and directed him to a service station with a bank of chargers. The only trouble was the chargers had not actually been installed but were "live" on the app 🤦♂️ The Patrol man was able to put 30 mins charge in it for him, he only lived a few miles away. Good to know they can get you going again, bet he felt a bit of a t1t

...and 4ZZ FE (1.4 petrol) as well.

I would check the app there are many reasons a charger will derate the most common on is the use of other chargers on that supply https://www.zap-map.com/live/ click on the charger then click on the pop up for full details

Hi everyone I've recently bought a 2023 (reg June) 1.8 Corolla Hybrid. I've noticed recently that other models in the 2023 range seem to have a different dashboard. Mine has the volume control on the multimedia screen, and digital dash in the middle with fuel/temp/rev dial either side. I've noticed an earlier registered car (Mar 2023) with the newer dashboard, with the volume buttons on the screen and the fully digital dashboard. I was under the impression the 2023 Toyota Corolla had the 5th Generation engine fitted, however, checking the GOV website, mine says its CO2 emissions are 111g and the one registered in March is 106g, which makes me think mine doesnt have the newer engine fitted. Did Toyota change the engines during the year, or the interior designs? I'm really confused!

Firstly, many thanks to you all for posting some interesting if somewhat concerning information. As a new owner of a second hand car I want to protect it so this forum is brilliant. Having read this thread I found myself a little uncertain as to the position with my car, a 2021 PHEV. I wasn't too sure if the different architecture was for later models only. So I contacted Toyota CR (again thanks for pointing out this avenue) with my reg to confirm the position, and here is the reply - Thank you for your email regarding your RAV4 Plug-in. While no car can be considered 100% immune to criminal intent, the RAV4 Plug-in is not susceptible to CAN bus attack. I hope this helps, please let me know if you have any further questions. So I hope that helps if there is anyone like me who hadn't quite managed to join the dots. And many thanks to Toyota CR for the quick response.
