So I've been playing more and more with my car.... So far I've; tinted the lights, hid dipped, led main, side lights( my own stock ), interior lights, number plate lights, Our own tuning box, Panel filter, De-restricted the air intake egr blank fitted, alloy gators fitted ( my own stock ), started doing all the bolts under bonnet are in the process of being changed for colour coded, started setting up silicone hoses, Bluetooth and aux fitted as well now, upgraded brakes ( black diamond pads, MTec sports discs, Plus a couple of other bits. And some major polish and wax sessions.

I should have mentioned that I cap my speed to 60 mph on the clock (56 true) except where it causes too much bunching of other traffic, but as it's mostly dual carriageway, not often a problem. There are lots of roundabouts on his route, so I lift off very early on the approach, try to time my arrival so I don't stop (keeping a good gap from the car in front helps), try to brake without going past the end of the CHG area on the ECO gauge and try not to enter the PWR area as I accelerate out. On trips where I cruise at 70 where allowed my mpg drops by 7-10, as it does on wet days, or in the winter. I change to winter tyres in a week and that seems to slightly harm the mpg too. When I did the trip last January on a cold, wet, windy day, on winter tyres and cruising up to 70 mph, I got only just over 61 mpg on the computer (so probably about 57 in reality).

You need a very delicate right foot to achieve any decent mpg unless you are happy to drive soo slowly that arriving before you expire is not a problem. I don't use eco mode and this new Auris averages upper 50's generally. If you have the mk 1 I think it does less generally as the shape is not so wind resistance friendly.

Congrats! Deffo bargain for the new owner!

If you are talking about the Toyota to ISO harness adapter, then yes. Autoleads PC2-17-4 is the reference, and covers all Toyotas from the 80's to present, with the exception of cars with active head units.
