Yes the HSI CHG zone indicates how much of the available regen braking capacity you are using up. When you press the brake pedal, you are requesting that the system provide braking power. Having worked out how much braking power you are requesting, the system then finds out how much braking power can be supplied by the various braking systems (regen, friction and engine). It then decides which braking system does what with regen having priorty. Most of the time, the regen braking system can provide all of the braking power requested. But there are times when it cant. Such as HV battery too full, HV battery too hot, not going fast enough, etc. At these times, you will shoot through the CHG zone very quickly.

I am getting fed up of the number of posts where people are bragging about driving at speeds well in excess of the speed limit. None of this "private road/race track nudge nudge wink wink" crap either. The next person to make a post of this nature will be banned. No warning, no message to ask you not to post things like that just straight to a ban. If you want to post about your exploits breaking the law then please also include your full name, address, car reg and where/when you broke the speed limit so that TOC can pass it on to your local Police so that you can be removed from our roads as well as our forums!

so there you have it Darren, Wayne and I just held a wee fake rammy so's to move the thread along a wee bit. Don't be pecting this treatment every time you come on here wiv the petted lip tho, we're not always this generous. Now quit being such a tightwad and get aw ignition switch in that car of yours. ,

Mate U starting to worry me......u need help....

So Tom s the poo-stirrer then .... Who - moi? Naaaaaahhhh, i i'd been a poo stirrer i'd have made some comments about the tattie crisp detritus on yer seats ower on that Auris board. Oh and I meant to say, Darren, don't be put off by that yin Pharts King, he's a wind-up merchant of the first order. My best advice to you would be just go ahead and get tore in!!! Oi! U leave my little Auris out of this!

Oh yes. Smug factor 9 in snow!

also that list doesn't cover hybrids like the regular Prius & Auris.

Then again, Germany will always favour their own manufacturers.

Toyota oem steels & alloys have different seats so if swapping genuine Toyota alloys & steels, yes as they are different. Oem wheels don't need spigot ring adaptors as they are made to the correct centre size for the car, aftermarket have them so that they can cover many cars with 1 wheel & adjust with spigot ring adaptors. If you are talking in general then as I said you shouldn't really run alloy wheels with steel bolts/nuts & obviously you should also check that the shape/size of the seats is the same. but I thought that you were running CrossClimates on the oem wheels?

The estate leather fits the hatchback with no modifications whatsoever. the fronts still have to go in, picture to prove, it still needs a good clean but I'm happy with it beats the seat covers look. door cars are still not in, at the end of this I will have hatchback cloth interior for sale 2 front seats (manual) back seats and 4 door cloth door cards, its in good condition as its had seat covers on since we got the car. it will fit the estate too, not not saloon.

Hi there just rang a big garage they never heard of fault in ther e lifes lol this is so funny , any way he said not mot failure as long as lights all go off when start car which means there is no faults then this is mot pass , the car has to be started and all light cleared thats should be not the other way around. He recons gremlins in there . oh welll

Anyway my Yaris HSD is now gone. I did 50,000 in it over three years. Would I buy another one...absolutely, loved that car. Gave it to my wife who hated it and swapped it in for a new Aygo X-Cite Blue. Whilst I now loathe the Aygo. Uncomfortable, noisy slow and uneconomical compared to the Yaris. I was getting 57 to 62 ish day in day out with little effort. With a best of 69 (brim to brim real world not dash display). I'll seriously look at another Yaris HSD when I buy our next car.

The EPB is normally reliable. Just slow compared to old fashion handbrake. The worst thing about the Mk3 is no hatchback. The other bad thing is the motoring journalist call the car boring, as there is no real criticism of the car. Reliability is good. Scott mentioned the diesel head gasket issue, not heard much about transmission problems. It all depends how it was cared for and driven.

Drop link by sound of your discription, small ball joint either end with rod in middle, cheap enough around £15.00 easy to fit but a bit harder to remove, normally need cutting to get old one off as will probably just turn and not undo. Hopefully shown in picture.

Hi, HonestJohn's RealMPG says 49mpg for the saloon & 47 mpg for the Tourer. As a rule, very. Cracking of the front doors at the checkstrap. The potential for failure of the EPB actuator (to be fair this seems very rare but out of warranty is a £1000 fix). If built before the end of February 2009 the possibility of head/head gasket issues (again very rare but very expensive out of warranty) - supposedly after that fixed by changes.

Eeek! I hope they change the fuel filter too then! A tip:One cause of gunge in the fuel tank is due to half-filling: Don't half-fill a car that runs on diesel; Always fill the tank when you refuel. Half-filled tanks have moist air in them which condenses on the tank walls and forms a layer of water on the surface of the diesel which stuff can grow in and feed off the diesel. It doesn't affect petrol so much because petrol is much more corrosive and toxic to micro-organisms, but diesel is like cooking oil so it's more prone to certain types of microbe
