Yes stick with Toyota young Bev have you got a friendly Toyota dealer near by like I have ? Have a trip to the showroom have coffee and hob nob and have a good look at the new Yaris

Short journeys, don't see a problem with over 50mpg especially the weather only just starting to creep up in temp. Would say the car is perfectly normal.

I found that , as the mileage increases so does the fuel economy, winter takes a hit, mine was down to as low as mid fifties but that’s still good…

Hi Shaun, Welcome to the Toyota owners club.

Another thing... When is the tank filled up? 1. click or full to the very brim? It's a 2 liter difference. Some pumps are extremly sensitive, and cuts off from the very start, only allowing fuel to go in very slow. My old 2004 Corolla was a true pain to fill, and allmost impossible to fill properly. Local pumps can vary in the amount measured. I mostly fill up with 0 mile left and my local Shell pumps is 38,5 liters. Other pumps can be as high as 40 liters with the same 0 mile left indication.

Mainly round t own.. Semi rural type driving.... 200 miles a day so only 1 cold start which makes a big difference.

I’ve read a bit more about the new Honda Jazz and it seems to be giving owners some problems None of these Jazz can be older than 4 years and most have low mileage but the list of failures are: Brake failure, folding door mirror failure, seat base sides cracking and windscreen delaminating It’s really put me off a Jazz. I wouldn’t mind if Honda gave a 10 year warranty like Toyota but you only get 5 years It is such a shame because I really love the design of the Jazz I think I will have to stick to Toyota

A photo of the part you're talking about would be welcome. 🙂

Mine is booked in for oil change next Monday. It was last changed in December 2021 at 27000 miles, and topped up to the full mark on the dipstick. The car has now done just over 33000 miles, and in the last 6000 miles the oil level has not moved off the full mark on the dipstick. It has used pretty much no oil at all. I always make a point of checking the oil level once a month, but it just doesnt use any.

If you have a multimeter handy, I would measure the residual current draw. This should help identify any obvious parasitic draws, before delving any further into the cause. Put multimeter in 10 amp mode in series between a battery terminal and take a reading once it stabilises (with ignition off). Once you have your reading then connect the battery as normal. Anything more than 100mA (0.1A) parasitic draw would be a cause for concern.

The fix on the Yaris Cross was - BE-00734T-TME it might be worth checking with your dealer if this will work on the Aygo X.

Very very rough and dodgy area of Birmingham that is, and probably about the worst place he could have left it - right at the end of a quiet road where it would be an easy target (marked red on the photo from Google maps) Right round the corner is a car breakers yard (pic shown) - I'll bet they had something to do with it, although it could never be proven. Always park somewhere safe. Back in the 90s I used to drive into Birmingham regularly and park in the city centre - I had a my car stolen from a street similar to that where the doctor had his car stripped. The problem is that these crimes put up everyone's insurance premiums and the doctor will find his own insurance will rocket now this has happened to him.

I've been looking at the Lexus 450h+ PHEV thinking perhaps that may have a better implementation of the speed limit warning but alas not. You got to disable the beeping each time you switch the car on. 🤷 Reviewer mentions it towards the end. Horrific colour btw.

Anyone in the UK have a spare threaded brake caliper insert that might fit the rear caliper on my ST205 Celica GT-4? This one had a bolt break off inside it. Tried to drill it out but its stuck real good. Probably better at this point just being replaced. Tried the parts stores and Toyota but they don't assign it a parts number. I don't know if these are the same on other Celicas but I know the ST205 GT-4 uses the equivalent of Supra calipers and rotors. I would love to find a replacement insert or an old caliper I could remove one from or whatever other option y'all might have.

Hello this is a shot in the dark but I’m trying to locate my dads (Stuart smith) 1989 yellow Toyota Hilux 4x4 that he owned from new and regrettably sold a few years ago, the registration number is G744WWK, we’ve noticed it’s now sorn, and would like to try and find the owner and buy it back, please share this post to try and get it back for him, thank you in advance regards his daughter sarah smith

This isn't going to help: Maersk says Red Sea disruption could cut Asia-Europe capacity by 20%

Lol that is actually very bad noise. It sounds to me like a broken clutch damper plate, the springs has gone. Gain access under the car , make sure car is off and there is small plastic cap on the bottom of the transmission, opposite the engine side open and see if any metal parts are laying at the bottom of he transition housing. This small inspection window is where the flywheel is.

My Dashcam seems to be recording ok now. It maybe threw a wobbly before as I deleted some videos ? I still can't connect by phone to the cam to get into the settings though. The chap at the dealers is going to sort it out for me tomorrow. To turn down the G sensitivity and possibly the Park mode. It records anytime I go near the car or open the garage door. Is there a way of changing the settings other than connecting to a phone ?

Yes I did as well, it needs to be flashing fast

Never hit 70 mpg on any measurable trip yet, be it around town or just A roads and lanes. And I'm a very, very efficient hybrid driver in terms of rarely accelerate quickly and anticipate breaking. DOn't use eco mode though, just thee comfort one so far. Maybe it likes agreesive driving on the odd occasion I have floored it the mpg average drops markedly.

No worse than other manufacturers. Parts supplies are still being affected by Covid, the situation in Ukraine (one of Europe's biggest suppliers of wiring harnesses as well as other parts), etc, etc.

I am happy with the brightness they deliver and what I am more about is the long life. These are by far the longest lasting bulbs of all halogen bulbs. I only drive the car at night and I drive a lot.

How well does it handle traffic information in the UK? For me it was useless because that data was very inaccurate and in my area taking the wrong turn might cause you 30 minutes delay 😞 in this case Android Auto running Google maps is undefeated duo

I am thinking that the symptoms may be oil on the clutch plate. If the clutch is dragging but the clutch arm seems to be moving OK then it can be oil making the clutch plate stick. If it is harder to push in gear than in neutral then I would try slipping the clutch quite hard for a few seconds and see if it improves. Don't bugger the clutch overheating it or wearing it out. Just try pushing it in and out of gear first and see if there is a difference.
