    Over filled oil - best fix

    Toyota dipstick are difficult to read and often can mislead yourself. You need to double check on cold engine without wiping off the dipstick. Park the car on level ground, next morning lift up bonnet, pull out your dipstick and hold on horizontal position, read your oil level. If within 3-5mm below or above max level mark you are ok. Anyone less or more you need to adjust accordingly. If you are way above you can buy large syringe from Amazon with tube and suck some oil out. Max OD of the tube should be 9mm.

  8. No risk in ready mode. Only if you in acc or ON mode, these are respectively no foot on brake one push of start button sets the car in acc mode and double push sets in ON mode. When the car is in acc mode you can listen radio, or charge your phone , if you leave the car like that for 30 min there will be warning message on screen and the car will turn off itself to preserve your 12v battery. Same if you leave interior lights on for longer. But if you repeat that you may run into trouble.

    Estima fuel economy

    thanks. even better i also have to change the timing belt…. when i bought it the dealer had a 2007 estima he had to take the whole front end off to change the alternator i think. i have a camry with 1mzfe i might practice on first, it needs a belt as well. i did find a youtube video for that at least

    Come on bostik pockets, cough up. All that money you save on ulez.
  12. Yeah I had kind of figured this out but was just really making the point there is no risk of the 12V battery becoming flat while the car is in Ready mode even with the accessories all turned on.
  13. Not really related to any specific Toyota model, it applies to most. The photo is my daughter’s 108 which of course is a badge engineered Aygo. It’s had its MOT and annual wash (I discovered daughters don’t wash cars soon after they acquired them). It’s a 2017 with 15000 miles on the clock. It’s had an oil change, air and cabin filter as I try to do a rolling program of maintenance. Anyway, I thought I’d show you my tip for avoiding an irritating oil spill. The thread on a 1 litre oil tub is exactly the same as virtually every Toyota engine so cut the bottom off and use it as a funnel. Save the bottom as it stops dust going in when you store it.

    Yes, it’s an Excel not a Premiere 👍 Don’t let the battery influence your decision alone Mike. It’s such an easy thing to sort out, just choose the car you like best.

    2022 RAV4 stolen

    Not sure if it has been mentioned here before but Toyota web page says they will offer "enhanced security upgrade" for canbus attack. No idea what it means but it won't be free.... https://mag.toyota.co.uk/toyota-gb-statement-on-vehicle-theft/
  18. That's easy, the engine fires up and turns the motor generators (with or without moving the car...)
  19. Like Andrue says, the 12V system runs the same way as a conventional ICE but you have power being fed in via the invertor rather than an alternator. When the engine is running ("on" for the hybrid) the supplied power is sufficient to keep everything working and charge the 12V battery. The 12V battery stays connected to the circuit all of the time whilst the alternator/inverter is connected across its terminals. Yes, you could argue that the 12V battery has stopped supplying power. Sorry if I confused things by oversimplifying them. A fully correct description of what goes on would be a) more complicated (I should probably be saying 'voltage' rather than 'power' for instance) b) beyond what I'm sure I know (the way that the inverter supplies 12V power may be a lot smarter than an alternator)
  20. But then what if the traction battery needs charging 😉.

    No matter which political party/parties are in power, it's the same old story, and will continue to be so.

    Most definitely! And ..... they should do what the people who elected them want, not what they themselves want.

    I know it's old, but it proves a point.

    And yet nothing's changed... None of them deserve that kind of money. None of them work as hard as public sector workers earning less than half that!
