  3. Remove the mechanical key from the fob. Stick a flat bladed screwdriver in the hole that the mechanical key came out of and twist to separate the two halves. Replace the CR2032 battery. Push the two halves back together. Insert the mechanical key. Done. This was on page 568 of my manual in the Electronic Key Battery section.

  4. Should be detailed in the full owners manual, which one can download from https://www.toyota.co.uk/tme#/my-toyota/eManual NB: do a generic search

  6. As regards depreciation, if one had bought a new Auris in the past few months and were looking to change it now, then depreciation may be an issue. However, as yours is 3 years old any effect due to the replacement will be minimal, if noticeable at all. The other cars mentioned have been on sale for longer than the Corolla, so the finance incentives may well be more attractive as the period of initial demand has passed. The other cars also have a shorter new car warranty. As regards VED, the same will apply to any car bought from April 2017. Really only you can decide whether your best move would be to wait, sell your existing car privately or part exchange, use a car buying website or whatever. Yes, some people will advise to sell privately, but that can involve a fair degree of time and hassle. Can you afford to be without a car should there be a gap between selling your car and getting the new one. You need to do some investigation as to what is best for you rather than rely on advice which may not be fully au fait with your situation.

  7. Japanese sprint series: 1st in class πŸ† Toyota sprint series : 1st in class πŸ† Driver No2: Steve Allison. Also the maiden win for our MK3 Yaris Sr the teams project car. Brilliant day sprinting much laughter with everyone as always πŸ˜‚ Great results for the Team and great competition from our guest driver Jaik Dean as it was very very close! The final time and on the final run was won by only 3 hundredths of a second. Had to push so so hard to win the class. Many thanks for the javelin team and our drivers for today also our Team Ya'race photographer too πŸ‘

  8. Maybe get a second opinion and diagnosis somewhere else. Looks like you've used someone who wants to fire the parts cannon and hope for the best - at your expense.

  11. Toyota require the coolant is first changed at 100,000 miles or 10 years, and then every 60,000 miles or 6 years, whichever occurs first. So realistically your car's first coolant change should be in 2020 on the time based change (ie. 10 years), assuming it hasn't reached 100,000 miles already. Regardless of Prestone's claimed life, I would stick with the car manufacturer's coolant change requirement - the manufacturer should know best. Yes, Prestone should be OK for the present need to top up, and you could consider it when the full coolant change is due.

  12. Pleased to hear you have sorted the problem. As to the 0.5 amp drain... well I'll bet there isn't a real issue there and that its something like a courtesy light remaining on while you were testing. It would be very unusual to have another unrelated issue. Excellent, well done.

  13. No need to worry about that, you can literally press any buttons even P or R and nothing will happen, it’s all been taught by the engineers. Only worry if you drive under 5mph and hit the P or Start button then the car will shut down and goes into P mode and stop immediately so can get rear ended, hit yourself in the wheel or even break your transmission p lock .

  14. there are so many interconected systems/sensors that a fault on one can have knock-on effects onto others causing apparently unconnected warning lights/messages
