Just wondering if anyone else has had issues with squeaky brakes? I bought my car from my local dealership (it was first registered in 2011) in January this year and have so far had it at the dealership approximately 10 times to try and rectify the issue. It has started squeaking again and I am at a loss with what to do next as apart from this my car is perfect for me. So far all the pads and discs have been changed (some more than once), the caliper holders have been changed and they have cleaned and greased them several times so I simply cannot think where we go from here.

Thx ! I wanted this car because it offers a decent amount of luxury unusual for it's class. And after placing my rear end in the driver's seat of this Tardis box on wheels, I was sold on it"s concept ! It's an amazing feat of engineering which I can appreciate.

Thanks mate, that's awesome. No need for the other link, this should do it! Thanks again.

The black keys will be the 'master' keys, and the grey key will be a 'valet' key. Depending on the model the valet key will have limited functionality - eg it will open the doors and start the car, but probably won't open the boot or glovebox (if this is lockable). New keys can only be made from the master keys.

not really - the wholesale price had fallen below petrol several weeks ago & there was some (not good for them) publicity about that not being passed on & service stations profiteering ... Mind you apparently Iran is sitting with 50 billion barrels of oil in storage & now that sanctions are coming down if that all goes into the market prices should fall further. :)

Autoleads are the go to for integration. http://www.autoleads.co.uk/news/play-control-charge http://www.armourauto.com/sites/armourauto.com/files/AUTOLEADS_CATALOGUE_FullDocument%28Low%29.pdf PC2-17-4 harness adaptors, PC99-209 stalk control adaptors. http://productfinder.autoleads.co.uk/browseModel.aspx?m=toyota http://productfinder.autoleads.co.uk/products.aspx?tier1=Stalk%2fSteering+Interfaces&tier2=TOYOTA&tier3=AVENSIS I have Nexxia who sell Autoleads products. Connects2 are another company who may have solutions. http://www.connects2.co.uk/VehicleProducts.aspx?Manufacturer_ID=59&Model_ID=183 http://www.connects2.co.uk/VehicleProducts.aspx?Manufacturer_ID=59&Model_ID=183 Is your car T25 which is covered or T27 which may be the same. I hope you find the info you are after.

I'd get the OEM setup checked, its faultless in our Yaris and Prius tbh, certainly light years a head of Fiat's Blue and Me system (awful system imo!).

Or you could use one of these http://www.halfords.com/motoring-travel/cleaning-body-repair/detailing-products/farecla-g3-body-prep-clay-mitt Plenty of YouTube videos available on how to use the clay to get an excellent finish to your car. Basic rules are Wash, Clay, Wash, Wax. You don't have to do the whole car at once, in the past I've done a couple of panels each day over the period of a week when time is limiting. It is also great at shifting those pesky bugs that attach themselves to the windscreen and bumpers at this time of year.

I went for the parrot 9000 with no screen...brilliant and very discreet. Sophie and fitted for £200

Driving at an indicated 80-85mph won't actually be 80-85 due to the speedometer being optimistic. The IQ should be capable of this, but economy won't be at its best, and having plenty of short breaks will be advantageous for both the car and the driver/passenger.

Hi I got mine through lindop for £21.23

Damnit you two, you're shattering my dreams! A £30 Tesla!

And in 1910 they probably said the same about petrol cars. I mean, you'd need a petrol station or five in every town, filling up with billions upon billions of litres of prehistoric and finite fuel. That could never happen, imagine the infrastructure required. And electric cars are mainly only for local trips at the moment with 100 mile ranges. Once it gets to 200 miles (2017 Nissan Leaf), they'd barely need to visit a public charge point unless petrol cars which HAVE to fill up at a petrol station. It's just getting your head round it. There are always hundreds of cars filling up at any one time in every town as that's the only place they can get their fuel. With an EV you fill up at home every night for pennies, but should you be likely to exceed the 200 miles range then you have a need to fill up publically. Few cars need to travel those distances. A 200 mile range also falls nicely into the sort of distance you can manage before you need a toilet break. One benefit of a petrol car is it can be filled in 5 minutes, assuming you don't include the actual time driving out of your way there and back out. The down side is it costs £45-£90 a time. A 200 mile EV would cost £4-£5 but would take about 30 minutes. Just look at the speed of the Tesla superchargers. They get it. Horses for courses. You want the perceived speed and long distance flexibility of petrol/diesel, then fine, but you will pay a couple thousand of £'s a year to travel 15,000 miles a year. If your trips are within 70-80 miles between charging or you don't mind a small inconvenience of waiting to fast charge on the few occassions you need it, and the 20 seconds it takes every evening to connect your car. It also costs you a could hundred £ a year for 15,000 miles a year. And that's before we get onto the subject of where the oil we use comes from. The UK is 60% self sufficient in oil. The remaining oil comes from some nice countries like Norway, but much comes from crappo countries that hate our way of life. There's room for everyone.
