NO my friend has worked for a large Nissan dealer in the North West for 20 years. His advice is NEVER buy an electric car new with your own money...lease one if you must...they are not buying any second hand ones in at the moment. Coming back to the question a big fat NO. An example again from Motorfinity who many people can buy from,if they are knocking off £8000 then how much is it going to lose in value over the next few years. They cannot give them away...

Hi Paul, Welcome to our forum. I owned years ago the 2.2 TD, was amazing car indeed. Now I bought the Estima hybrid 2010 last 1st February, and will be driving it to North Africa in the summer, as I did years ago with the old shape one..... Reliability is key .... Enjoy your Estima!

Beautiful. The whole car looks much sharper and the seats look very comfy. 👍

did you replace the crank sprocket ? iirc there are 2 types edit. did you put the key back in the crank for the sprocket ?

I like my C-HR as it suits my needs perfectly. Missus has a new Yaris Cross on order as the one she tested out suited her needs much better then a C-HR would. She needs easy access for front passenger due to transporting an elderly parent & room in the boot for a wheel chair, Yaris Cross much more suitable out of the two vehicles for her. Try both & pick the vehicle that suits your needs the best.

E12 ZZE121 Hatchback Coilovers/Shocks
APS replied to Cottondell's topic in Corolla & Corolla Cross Club
Good question. Coilovers will give you hours of 'fun' adjusting and tweaking your suspension while standard fit dampers and springs will be more set and forget, less faff. The way coilovers are designed with smaller diameter springs they may also give you a bit more space for wider tyres, more negative rim offset, and/or negative camber. The other positive with coilovers is that they offer a wide range of adjustability of damping and it is usually easy to go back to the manufacturer to get softer or harder springs. Too firm damping can really make a car very jittery and bouncy. in a nutshell, coilovers are more flexible and give you more choice in the future. That said, the Corolla as a platform is quite limited in terms of wheel alignment, in the rear in particular. I'd say a set of KYB or adjustable Koni with lowering springs will be fine. It is very easy, and tempting, to make a car too stiff. But, for weekend B-road blasts, you don't want the car to be too low or too stiff or you will loose grip as the car bounces on bumps and bashes the underside (of course, this is assuming the backroads around you are as poor and uneven as they are here). Coilovers are worth it if you are a tinkerer who likes to try new setups and combinations. They are by no means essential for having fun or even doing the odd track day here and there. -
To simplify the question, if you were buying an EV, would you buy a BZ4X?

Not something Toyota has control of, it is an EU directive, that's how it has to be despite what people "want"

I have a tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to ascertain information on all the fuse boxes and their items legends..the only one I have the information on is the one inside the engine bay, it has a cover and the item legend behind it. The rest I cannot find any information anywhere online. Would anyone know where I can view this information?? Thanks. George

Our caravan is approximately 100kg less than you caravan, there is only just the two of us plus I set my speed to 55mph max. Definitely prefer the sports mode towing.

OK so I connected the Ctek charger and the problem went away. I'll leave it connected for a few hours until I get a green LED and keep my fingers crossed. Thanks for all the feedback.

The all-new Toyota Land Cruiser: UK model range and pricing announced
Toyota Owners Club posted a record in Toyota News & Articles
Toyota has announced the UK model range and pricing for the all-new Land Cruiser. The latest generation of the legendary SUV will become available from July, with first deliveries to customers expected from September this year. Due to strictly limited supply and high customer demand, it is expected that the initial allocation of vehicles will be accounted for immediately. Backed by a heritage spanning more than 70 years, the all-new Land Cruiser is faithful to its origins as a vehicle that delivers supreme quality, durability and reliability. Building on the achievements of its predecessors, the all-new model has even greater capabilities for dealing with the harshest environments, while providing comfort, poise and specifications that meet all the requirements of modern day-to-day driving The line-up offers two versions of the first all-new Land Cruiser generation since 2009: Invincible and First Edition, both in five-door body styles. They are powered by an updated 2.8-litre turbodiesel engine and feature a new eight-speed automatic transmission. A 48V mild hybrid powertrain will debut in the range in 2025. The First Edition is exclusively available during the Land Cruiser’s 2024 launch period and is being built in limited numbers. Its design references the styling of the classic Land Cruiser 40 model of the 1960s with round headlights and a bi-tone paintwork that matches Smoky Blue or Light Sand bodywork with a Light Grey roof. It also features First Edition badging and 18-inch black alloy wheels. Inside, styling details of the upholstery, instrument panel and door trims are all exclusive to the model. Both the First Edition and Invincible have seven seats with black leather upholstery. Equipment features include air conditioning with separate front and rear cabin controls and the Toyota Smart Connect+ multimedia system with 12.3-inch touchscreen and both cloud-based and embedded navigation. A head-up display, fully digital driver’s instrument combimeter, 14-speaker JBL audio system, Panoramic View Monitor, roof rails and a sunroof are also included. The Invincible has 20-inch black alloy wheels. Features that support its off-road performance include the Multi Terrain Select system, which automatically adjusts vehicle settings to suit different driving conditions, and the world-first Stabiliser Disconnect Mechanism, which allows the driver to disengage the front anti-roll bar (stabiliser) to help maintain front-wheel contact with the ground on very uneven surfaces. The new GA-F platform and classic body-on-frame construction further contribute to off-road strength, while the introduction of electric power steering for the first time in a Land Cruiser helps make for more comfortable and responsive performance. On-the-road prices are £74,995 for the Land Cruiser Invincible and £79,995 for the First Edition. -
Personally, I find Lane Keep Assist to be a danger feature, not a safety one. Most of my driving is done on rural and narrow roads. My car defaults to LKA being on. So, unless I remember to switch it off every time I drive, it will try to nudge me back towards parked cars, cyclists, potholes, whatever I have tried to pull out to avoid. Only on the rarest of occasions might I want LKA to be on - when I am making a long journey on a fast multi-lane road. There are very few roads like that near where I live, so I almost never want the feature. Yet the car forces it to be on every time I start up. Why can't the setting to have it active or not be "sticky"? Those who want it on can leave it on by default, those who don't want it can leave it off by default. Both can reverse the setting while driving. I've had cars like that in the past. It just makes sense IMO. I get that Mr T probably regards it as a safety feature and doesn't want to be seen to allow it to be off by default, but it is only a safety aid under certain road conditions. Given that nearly all my driving is not done under the conditions where the feature might help safety, my car is defaulting to a less safe mode every time I drive. Very silly.

The battery issue is just a suggestion. See how it is, before adventuring into more expensive endeavours. If you see that your battery is low, try to charge it properly and see if the issue is solved. In my case, even the button on the handle did not work. I had to use the hidden key on the fob to open the door to get inside. The car did start up, but the first tries failed. This happened on three more occasions, until I realized that the front right headlight leveling motor was dislodged from its place, by a past bump on a garbage bin. The motor was always trying to correct its position, and that was draining the battery. After getting it in place, the problem ended, the car always started right up and the keyless system was back on again. This was my case. Yours might have another cause. But before spending money, start with the simple stuff.

New RAV4 coming around September or GR Sport spec change
ernieb replied to Nick72's topic in Rav 4 Club
No insight Nick, but you need to keep an eye on what might be going on. We do know that a number of manufacturers a couple of years ago just deleted lots of items from the spec, Volvo was one of them. Let’s hope it’s an upgrade rather than a spec degradation.- 1 reply

Steering wheel crook lock device for Aygo X
Pumatron replied to Yve1961's topic in Aygo & Aygo X Club
I’m finding the best and fool proof method of tackling car theft is to not own a car. 🤣 Seriously it’s liberating and less stressful 🤷♂️ Obviously I know that not everyone can live without a car, but for me, for now, I’m happy to not have the responsibility and cost of a car. I’ve had a few new cars in the last few years then worry about leaving them in public car parks and have had work colleagues use it as a door stop with their own car door. 🤬 The wife has hers, but I barely use it, and that’s her own preference to own one. Glad I’m off the wagon 😂 To add, the Stoplock will fit an Aygo X, you need one with the pronounced bend, called Elite Pro, as I had one on my Aygo X. Good luck with the new car. 😎 -
