Harlia contacted me yesterday to say she has booked her car into her Toyota dealer.

The higher the number and letter the better the tyre in terms of load and speed rating. I know nothing about your particular model, the factory fit for my 2010 Tourer is 215-55 R17. 94W. I replaced my tyres a short time ago and as there was a shortage of what I wanted at the time I opted to have tyres with a 98 load rating as the 94's were not available the size and speed ratings are the same though. The correct size and rating is on a sticker fixed to the drivers door pillar, if not it will be in the handbook. If you don't have either then contact you local friendly Toyota dealer. I would strongly advise not to go lower than the recommended factory fit ratings. Going higher is not a problem but a higher load rating may mean slightly less give in the sidewall so they may feel a little harder on the ride.

No, it's the way I walk...

The flat-spots are easy to see whilst the wheels are on the car. If you jack the car up - spin the wheels and look through the spokes focusing on the inner rim against a fixed suspension bracket. Any bumps/flats become immediately visible. You might find that some of the rims are fine.

I am wondering if his rear calipers are the wind in type for the h'brake mechanism and he has mistaken them as being seized so i feel Christian should pay now to get the brakes put on professionally

If you are going for a lower priced tyre then you won't go wrong with Kumho Ecsta LE Sport LE39 and these are Y rated (186mph) tyres, I have them and they are good in the wet and dry also wearing well. Pete.

I did two years with a Toyota Verso S 1.33 with CVT and am just coming up to one year (May) with my Yaris Trend with CVT Must say that the CVT is the smoothest and best auto that I have ever owned with no problems at all

There is now...

Some information about the Tns 510. When the car battery is connected to the car the 510 receives a memory back-up voltage. When the ignition is turned on, the 510 looks at the SD card and looks at a file called loading.kiwi. This is the units application software and boots up the unit and starts a progress bar along the bottom of the screen. When its finished, it looks at the SD card again for map information. When the ignition is turned off, the memory live feed keeps the application in memory. When the ignition is switched on again, the application runs and checks the map in the SD card and it all works. I suspect that you either have a faulty Tns 510 or maybe the SD card is corrupt. I have a loading.kiwi file for the 510. All you have to do is drop it on a spare SD card and put it in the 510 and take the battery off fot 10mins then re-connect it. Turn the ignition on and the 510 should boot up. When it gets to asking for the map you take out the kiwi SD card and put in the original card that came with the unit. If it doesnt work then i suggest you have a faulty tns 510. I have tested the file in my 510 and it works fine. If you want to try it pm me and i will give you a link to the file David
