Not come across them, looks to be a JDM part

I am not asking about range and refuelling issues as that is hugely dependent on location and usage. Assuming you had decided to switch from HEV, would you go to PHEV or straight to EV? Now the $64,000 question, would that car be a BZ4X? The base model is £42,650 but 0% interest and £2,000 contribution. Using typical salesman's maths I could massage the figures to bring the monthly repayments to 50% more than a top spec Yaris Cross. Assuming you could afford it, and were willing to pay it, would you buy the BZ4X or look elsewhere, a second hand Mercedes GLQ for instance?

Sounds like clutch slip but if the Rev Counter stays low ? Check underside of car could be a loose heat shield around exhaust.

Life was easy back then and thankfully they have not changed that - is the engine more or less than 1549cc? They just hike the fee. The mk2 Golf is 1.8 i.e. more than 1549cc thus it's £345. Get a Vespa too - keeps you young.

The master reservoir is tiny on these and hold about 1dl / 100ml. With a litre you can do the brakes as well. Which is a good thing! 🙂

The hydraulic clutch system on the Toyota 4AF engine typically requires around 0.5 to 1 liter of clutch fluid (usually brake fluid). However, it's always best to consult the owner's manual for your specific vehicle.Hope this helps.

Last sentence should read it does illustrate what little interest Toyota UK have in the issue. Apologies!

Interesting to read these posts re 2021 Yaris input transmission damper issues . My saga ended on Saturday 20th April after a period of 14 weeks. The part has a “lifetime” guarantee and my vehicle has a residual 2 years Toyota warranty ( I had it 10 days before Toyota reduced warranties from 5 years to 3)..Enterprise cars Lichfield were fair with me and provided a Citroen 3 Aircross which although a low spec did the job for over 3 months. No complaint there. They even delivered it to me with a full tank of fuel after providing 2 lesser vehicles during my first week without my Yaris. My vehicle is good now but I empathise with those in the same position. There are in fact 2 separate components needed to complete the task of damper replacement. I did make contact via website with Toyota UK and within 36 hours they batted the response to the dealer who phoned me with update on parts delivery. At national level Toyota showed zero interest. The dealer Steven Eagell Tamworth were very supportive throughout but the solution was out of there in hands. I have driven Toyotas for over 12 years without any issue whatsoever until January 8th this year and acknowledge their undoubted reliability in the motoring world overall. I intended to change my vehicle post MOT and final bubble payment but my confidence in the brand is severely dented. It has only recorded 12500 miles so I will hang onto it for the time being. I wish other Yaris owners in the same position all the best with getting their vehicles sorted but it dies illustrate have little interest Toyota UK have in the issue.

Hi Raymond,No the 2021 RAV4 Hybrid with a production date of October 14, 2020, likely does not have Remote Climate functionality. This feature is only available on the 2022 and newer RAV4 models, or the RAV4 Prime XLE and Limited trims.Toyota restricts Remote Climate Control to specific trims and model years.The Information from Toyota's support website confirms that the Remote Climate Control feature is only available on 2022 and later models. There are discussions on forums where other 2021 RAV4 Hybrid owners have inquired about Remote Climate and found out it wasn't available for their model RAV4.5 Remote Climate. Although your RAV4 Hybrid can be remotely started, it won't allow you to adjust the climate control settings beforehand. The climate control will likely default to the last setting.Hope this helps.

Not much. But it's cheap and half a litre should be more than enough and allow you to flush through the master as well.

The world is very small, in Greek Dacia free forum there is a good Samaritan how works at an official dealer. This good Samaritan does the exact same job as @Parts-King. Indeed, according to FROSTYBALLS, toyotaownersclub.com is independent.

I have installed the cruise control buttons, at the moment it does not work, maybe you need to register these buttons in an electronic control unit in some program?

Like you I do not charge away from home. Tried that with my previous PHEV and the costs were ridiculous. Given I have a 400 mile journey ahead (split in two) and the second half takes in some long climbs on the A9 upto Inverness, I am not expecting great economy, 25-28 at a guess. I also drive to ‘get there’ so will be driving as fast as the law and conditions allow. We did the same journey 2 years ago however I cannot recall the mpg. Best I had was in Germany 2 years ago with 32mpg on a long run from Rudesheim to Tittisee in temperatures in the mid/high 30’s, closely followed by a run from home to near cleethorpes last summer. With a following wind and temperatures around 22C I got just over 30.

Was only kidding, £27.61

What did I say? I was being serious!

Does anyone know where I can get hold of just the sticker without buying a new belt? Very parts related query, @Parts-King or @flash22 let me know if I should ping you directly.

Not on new cars, but plenty of used get taken around the country

Yes, UGREEN makes the best cables and chargers I've come across over the years. Solid and reliable. Behind that, I would go with Amazon basics cables, which are surprisingly reliable also.

Is this going to be a Marathon ?

I'm sure I remember it as an option on UK cars some years back. Was pretty pricey from what I recall.

Derek, I think a properly installed solar panel is a 'good' solution if you avoid the obvious pitfalls: Park in the open. Park with a Southern aspect. Don't rely on it in winter with less daylight and potentially heavy cloud cover.

Yo do know parts king is one of the most prolific and helpful posters on this forum, works for a dealer and is regularly providing assistance to members? He's neither posted a link, affiliate or otherwise, or a Web address. Think you need to delete or adjust your comment as it's unnecessary and misleading.

Does that still go on? Eyres at Coningsby did that for me. I wanted a Silver Mondeo Ghia with boot spoiler, I thought it needed a spoiler for the style. He sent a trailer to the West Country and did a swap. There must have been some profit in it.

Thank you for that 'D'. I'll double check that my phone is fully paired though I do get a welcome by name following the blue screen.

Toyota already did this for Prius on JDM So it's definitely doable and not by a crazy DIYer with an angle grinder 😄
