My Prius is now just over a year old and I still love it. Living in North Wales it still maintains an exclusivity, locally I have only seen another two. I get a buzz each time I drive it and still just go out for the pleasure of driving. Over the year I have added a few bits, fog light surrounds number, plate trim, scuff plates and at last a stone and bug deflector for the bonnet. I had to bring that back from Canada as could not find one here. see pics. Stone chips have been a bug bear of both my GEN 2, GEN 3 and Auris TS and within a month I had a nasty one on the front of the bonnet and one in the centre of the roof. A badge hid the bonnet one prior to the deflector the roof one still bugs me but nothing can be done to hide it. That brings me to a warning about the body work. A few months ago I noticed a series of dents in the roof rails above where the centre pillars joined the roof. Both sides so at first I put it down to internal welds. I have a friend who does dent repair so got him to look at them. He got them out ok but can not work out what caused them. My theory is that when I leaned across the roof to get to the chip I must have leaned on the roof rails. Br warned do not put pressure on the sides of the roof, the metal is very soft. Since the deflector I have not had more chips behind it but the bumper still gets them.

All cars and definitely lorries should have this, it really is magic. Touch the cruise, adjust how far you want to be to the car in front, set your speed and relax in the knowledge that if he does something stupid you will stop. The sensors, tell you if there is cross traffic brake warnings stop you hitting the end wall of the garage, and anything else, self parking, have not tried it yet even on my old Auris, but I am assured it works. This must be the most advanced generation of vehicles yet. Not sure I would want self drive, but this is very, very good. When I read about cars and lorries tail ending each other on motorways I wonder it's is not compulsory.

Hi, if it helps, the Toyota iQ power-fold mirrors are the same as those on the Prius from 2009-2015 and I believe also the Verso, probably more likely to find one from a Prius and mirror caps are interchangeable too, simply unclips :) Regards, Ben

Shouting removed. We've had 21 new cars from a variety of marques (Honda, Hyundai, Mazda, Nissan, and Toyota), kept each one for between 3 and 4.5 years, all serviced by main dealers and never had anything like this scenario.

My T3. Full T-Sport exterior conversion, lowered 40mm on Apex springs, and has an eBay short shifter.

Hi, You need to buy one that clearly state is reads ABS and SRS codes, the one you link does not, as do most cheap ones. Though there are lots advertised stating ABS/SRS but cannot say which ones are best, never used the high end ones. Seems to remember folk mentioning the Autel and Foxwell are ok, looking around this looks like it MAY be suitable, but am no expert. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Autel-Diaglink-OBD2-Auto-Diagnostic-Scanner-DTC-Code-Reader-ABS-SRS-EPB-for-DIY/172833626154?epid=8010935922&hash=item283dafd82a:g:L2AAAOSw94taBCrV
