Can’t see why you started new thread........ the continuity is now lost, unless others just continue on the previous thread.

Excellent! Thanks all. Fuse replaced and all working. And now I know there are more fuses under the bonnet 🙂

Toyota needs the dealers as much as the dealers need Toyota, when I ordered mine, there was a lot of phone calls since I was insistent on Car Play, without it I was going to walk, so was the wife with her CH-R order, I need the ability to use Webex ( a Phone conferencing facility ) whilst driving, its a App on Android or Apple, otherwise I would have to stop the car and dial in, use conference access codes etc etc, Over the 2 hours of back and fore calls it was finally agreed that March would have it as standard, its in writing, and this was before any announcements, Toyota are lucky in that they sell all they make but once the 2020 is out, no one would want a 2019 without a decent discount.

Hi, you cannot update it yourself, because Toyota did not make it public. I think your dealer is wrong. If you are upgrading to the v 1530 (from 1520 or 1510), this is a fault fix and should be done under warranty, this was confirmed by several users from different dealer groups, including me last week. Try another dealer group, or call Toyota helpline and ask them for confirmation, and send you an e-mail or speak to your dealer.

Back in March this year I had the cat stolen from my 2008 Prius. It took a month to get the parts from Japan and installed. I also paid for a Catloc to be fitted which cost £200. Some time during last night/this morning the cat was stolen again while parked in my front garden. So I have wasted £200 on the Catloc. It's for you to decide if it's worth having one fitted. I'm waiting to hear from my insurance company. The car has been driven less than 70.000 miles and is in great condition. It's a pleasure to drive, but now, once repaired it will have to go as I can no longer trust it. Sad.

This explains - some nuts break off leaving a cone-shaped cap which will be very hard to undo.

"The fear of getting caught" my old history teacher said, was one of the fundamental deterrents of Sir Robert Peel's original force. If I see a policeman near where I live, then it's a special day. Although to contradict myself, I do see high-speed-pursuit convoys up from the training school at Hendon, but they're just passing through.... But a beat bobby? Or a patrol car slowly drifting around the town, having a nose about? Not for many years. Even the few PCSOs that were based in this area were taken away years ago. The police role is mostly reactive now, it would seem. That's not to criticise the police themselves at all, they are just hopelessly understaffed!

I added an LED lamp in armrest compartment. It is very cheap and easy to do.

Absolutely. I've though that for a very long time, as other manufactures have been doing. Happily (for me), the latest RAV4 does this, plus a couple of other long overdue features such as doors that lock as you start driving and a rear wiper that gives a single sweep if you select reverse while the front wipers are on. Oddly though, despite the modern automatic, electronic parking brake with hold feature, if you manually apply the parking brake whilst in drive, it doesn't cut the electric creep power to the wheels! [although when brake hold-operated or (like previous Hybrids) holding the service brake pedal on does kill the power. This is odd, since cheaper cars with Multi-Mode Transmission (like the Aygo) do kill power to the driven wheels (in this case by keeping the clutch disengaged) when the handbrake is on. Weird!.]
