After clearing code it’s not giving any code at the moment

Yes and the same types of safety systems are on cars from the majority of other manufacturers, and whatever new car you buy nowadays will be similar, whether that is Toyota, VW, or any other. Back to the topic subject, please.

it's not that simple for cars, one hand, doesn't know what the other is doing, getting a CoC out of Japan on a car is difficult Emissions have to be done by a lab, last time I looked that was £2k+, but there are models that have had a profile made on import effectively batch approval

@Mojo1010 I have no idea. The service advisor I dealt with last week wasn't present today, so I was handed over to someone else. They said the extra charge was ludicrous and that Toyota would never charge on warranty repairs. So I genuinely have no idea where the advisor got this figure from, but I'm just glad it's all sorted now 🙂

Hi Frostyballs yes i know all that. I have driven/ridden car/motorcycles for the past 55 years succesfully with few mishaps. Today i tried to park in a busy Lidl carpark and quite frankly it drove me nuts. I am now beginning to hate my CHR why ? tasks which were previously simple to perform have now become complex with these myriad of alarms going off which quite frankly i need like a hole in the head. In fact i think they are distracting and dangerous simply because it causes you to loose your concentration. Todays modern vehicles are vastly over engineered and i look forward to time when totally autonamous vehicles are the norm and I will no longer have to interpret stupid distracting warning signals. Not a day goes by when my CHR emmits warning beeps/boops/dongs/dings which are simply stress inducing and I used to enjoy driving. Rant over.

Good as it should be, what was the excuse of £270 strip down cost? The thing is many people may not ask for advice from others and would need to pay up if they wanted it fix. Some dealers are just like scammers.

Yes, cleaned everything from the first days - IACV, throttle body, PCV, vapor solenoid etc.

Was planning to replace the power steering fluid given I'm at 203,000km, with dexron III - I can't find the volume required, anyone?

Not quite, I replaced the battery on my Corolla a while ago with a slightly larger capacity one. I still have the old one in the garage 😊

Wow! you took your battery out to help answer my question 😇 Huge thanks, I would buy you a pint . . . but . . . 🤗

Just a quick update: Thank you for all of your replies. The light was replaced today free of charge, under the warranty 🙂

For God's sake. All vehicle manufacturers have safety recalls on their cars, and the issues often don't materialise until they are with customers. Toyota are no different in this respect to other manufacturers such as VW, Stellantis, Audi, Ford, JLR, Mazda, Renault, Nissan, Dacia, MG, BYD, Skoda, Seat, Honda, etc, etc.

Frostballs regardless of that why are Toyota with their vast resources releasing vehicles to the general public with safety issues dont they test these vehicles ? I am beginning to regret my expensive purchase.

Excellent, thanks Ralph! 👍 I've been trying a lot of settings, but clearly missed that one. Thanks, again!

That would be strange they are good mats, mine still look good and do a great job after over 3 years use. I especially like the rear tunnel flap over.

👍 Love the place - my wife is from there

By taking the battery out and shaking it 😉😂 OK, not quite shaking it, but my Corolla had that same part number battery and when I removed it I noticed that if I tilted the battery carefully from side to side I could hear it was clearly full of liquid electrolyte inside. If it had been an AGM that wouldn't have been the case.

One is a safety recall as per the first letter you posted, the second isn't a recall but a customer service campaign which isn't safety related.

From the Toyota configurator for the RAV4 PHEV including GRS... So they must have the part and do the fitting.

Yeh unless you're driving in silence in EV mode at low speed and then it's loud. But normal driving with the stereo on and I can only just hear it. Just leave it on now. Was expecting it to be a nightmare but it's easy to switch off at any stage and tóo quiet to be annoying. For me and thee anyways.

I just been through the configurator for the PHEV on Toyota's website and there is no option in amongst all the accessories for the rubber floor mats or any mats. I am wondering if they've withdrawn them.
