  1. Just checked. 17 J7 So I can have the 225 45 R17. So all I have to do is decide the rainsport or cross climate tyres now. Hopefully the tyres will be still good enough for my trip to Germany in 3 months time., otherwise no spending money ;-) Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

  2. Depends what your priorities are... if you want the car to look better in many peoples eyes, then go with the 18" wheels and accept the increased costs and possibly poorer ride. If on the other hand you prioritise ride and reducing costs, then the 17" wheels are the ones to choose. Personally I prefer the 17" wheels as I don't care what others think and prefer a more comfortable ride at a lower price.

  4. Gents, the machine is now fixed! :) The gearbox came off really difficult but apart from this the rest of exercise went pretty smoothly... The problem as you can see on the photos was in the friction disk itself or whatever it was left from it! Also there were couple of bent fingers on the pressure disk! Fortunately the flywheel was OK :) Anyway I replaced the lot (clutch plate, pressure disk and trust bearing) together with the master and the slave cylinders (i did this first) and the clutch now is spot on - hopefully it wouldn't cause any issues in the near future! Just couple of points if anyone is interested or needs to change the clutch on his Rav 4 and doesn't have an access to a vehicle hoist (and doesn't want to pay stupid amount of labour money!!!): 1) You CAN change the clutch with the car only supported on axle stands 2) You DON NOT need to take any of the exhaust off neither the driveshafts - just slide them off the hubs... (obviously you need to remove the prop shaft for the four wheel drive models - very easy to do - only six bolts) 3) You do NOT need to lower the engine at all 4) The gearbox and the transfer box can be moved to the right (looking from the front) enough so that it gives you access to the clutch! The only tricky bit is manipulating the lot out as it is heavy but I managed so you WILL! 5) No pilot bearing so you would need to align the clutch plate to the pressure plate (or at least this is what I did and it worked fine) you can buy an alignment tool (see photos) for less than £15! Thanks again for the help! :) I hope that this topic might be useful to other people too as I was trying to find all of this info on the net before and I couldn't!

  5. If it is a UK spec car, sold new in the UK by a Toyota GB dealer, it will have a five year/100,000 mile new car warranty - so the warranty will run through to either 2018 or 100,000 miles, whichever occurs first. If it is a European spec car sold new outside of the UK (eg Ireland), it will have a three year/100,000km new car warranty. Presumably the services have been carried out either on the time basis (every 12 months) or on the mileage basis, whichever occurred first.

  7. Here's a positive video review of the new hybrid RAV4 from Robert Llewellyn. He drives a Tesla normally so is very keen on EVs - something which he does cover in this video. As he says it's a pity that Toyota aren't pushing forward with EVs given their experience with hybrids. I guess the hydrogen powered car is something to do with that although I would not be surprised if that is quietly dropped soon to be replaced with Toyota EVs.
