That blue Auris has got an Edinburgh plate on it, what's the dealer's name on the plate?

It has been changed as bought from Inchcape Burton On Trent as they have added their business name on the bottom of the plate.

I believe the car was registered in Nottingham initially on a google search. Could have lived in Edinburgh at some point.

I spent many hours punching out blank number plates in a car dealership in Edinburgh when I was a lad so I clocked it immediately.

Does it say Western on the plate?  It could be Eastern but probably Western.

Nope, Nottingham  

 

But, only James can confirm that 

[Stivino]

It's an Edinburgh number so it was first registered here.

Beautiful colour from the online pic, James 😍

Thanks. It was the colour that drew me to it and that it had done 26,000 miles. I wasn't keen initially on the wheels colour but have grown on me and don't show the brake dust.

[Stivino]

My mistake, I read it the wrong (old) way.

[Auris James]

That's resolved that.

Eh? Anything from Scotland would start with an S...

I think I already said that I had made a mistake.

[TonyHSD]

That’s why I was wondering, my car has similar number plate and comes from Nottingham .

Lost in translation 

[FROSTYBALLS]

Of the first two letters of the current number plate system (known as the memory tag) the first letter is an area identifier used by DVLA, and the second letter is the postal area. 

So in the case of James' Auris, the 'F' is 'Forest and the Fens', and 'P' is the postal area of Nottingham.

Any one of the above it’s fine without staying on summer tyres. You can change the size too or stick with the same size, new wheels and tyres for the winter, as mentioned choose a size that is recommended as oem by the manufacturer even though it’s not for your trim level or equipment. Don’t go for 175 tyres on 15” wheels, 185 maybe ok but 175 it’s too narrow and your Yaris is heavier than 1.0 or 1.3 , it’s a hybrid, plus your car maybe equipped with larger discs and not able to fit, like is the case with auris gen 1 and 2. If you buy genuine wheels and comply with sizes correctly you don’t need to worry about insurance as it’s classed like accessories, no change to policy. You can play with tyre calculator and see what fits your car try to be as close as possible to the original size.

But, according to EUDM 16" should be 16J??? 

[TonyHSD]

Hi, 

you may ask the seller to check what is shown on the inside of the wheel, and meanwhile you can check yours plus manual book. The seller may have advertised them wrongly, 5 and 6 are easily mistaken. If they are 5J for sure they might come from Aygo  and not suitable for your car. I don’t know much about Yaris and Aygo, I am more to the Auris /Prius side as I had many of those but non of the smaller Toyotas. 
Regards

Thanks Tony   

My user manual does state 16x6J 😎

 

I will ask seller just to make sure 

[flash22]

Thats a 15" being 5J - HL 4607

16" 6J is HL 4697 that should be 42611-0D650

Seller came back and confirmed it's 16J  

So, I bought it now 

Will be use this (full size) to replace my space saver  

Question now, shall I spend more on a NEW tyre for the spare (or just get a part worn one) now?

I was referring to the pic in that ad i posted for reference, hay ho you purchased it

[Wayne2015]

It's here!  

 

But, ain't touching it for 72 hours (covid-19) 

[Wayne2015]

Another 3 weeks lockdown! 

 

Even supermarket queues grown today ONLY  

Never seen a queue before at my local Aldi, but this afternoon - HUGE queue outside

 

So, decided to go to local Asda - HUGE queue 

 

Ok, Morrison ought to be ok? 

HUGE queue at 3:30pm 

[Wayne2015]

Drove my Yaris

But, compared to my old Auris, the petrol engine sounds rather loud and shaky?  

 

Surely, NOT a rattling cam chain? 

 

Surely, NOT something loose in engine? 

 

Need, another same year Yaris Hybrid to compare.....

[flash22]

They can be a bit gruff when they have been sitting, it takes a while to get up to temp and get the oil flowing, turn the radio up ? Or add some sound deadening

shopping this morning an hour and 5 in the queue hour and 15 shopping

That's re-assuring to know ref Yaris 

[Wayne2015]

At £50 a rim, would love to buy these as my SUMMER wheels (and keep my original ones as WINTER wheels)

Shame, they don't fit my Yaris
