just go back to the dealer and drive the car into the nearest multi/storey car park .with the mechanic .. mine switch on as soon as you hit the dimmer lighting inside..simple.

Wot oldcodger said. SGS did me proud for my Focus. Not necessarily the cheapest, but good quick service ,and quality was perfect. https://www.sgs-engineering.com/car-boot-tailgate WRT the tailgate, the broom should be okay as long as it's long enough to lift it high enough. I have my doubts. 🙄 A couple of lengths of two by four, one at each side, would be a better idea because then you've got a backup in case one slips. Can you get a mate to standby in case of need? Even with one strut working, I wouldn't have wanted to cop the weight of that tailgate crashing down on my bonce.

Delighted to at last be able to drive away my 2WD Excel w Prem. Pack today that was also ordered in May. No Android auto etc so assume it is MY19. I have been told that the software upgrade will be available in May. Interestingly "My Toyota" sent me an email this morning at 4:30 am to tell me that my car has "Left The factory". Did not realise that I had a 'Buy One - Get one Free' deal!

It's no different from any petrol car - just don't exceed the height of the engine's air intake. I suspect in the case of the Volvo, the engine did ingest water, and it was probably a diesel which are much less tolerant of this than petrol engines due to higher compression. If you do suspect water has got in through the intake, *do not* try and start the car, not until you've at least removed the spark plugs.

Firstly brand new car never been owned by anyone before. Itsbtge first-time I have ever had a new car delivered this way normally dealers bytvtgey car in an indoor delivery area. It was the day we had bad floods sontgerevwas no way I was standing outside The vehicle has been fully checked for others nest the are non and Toyota UK have sorted the car. Via another dealer. The supplying dealer have lost my custom and all future servicing and two more new car order because of it attitude towards me. The rodent people wrote a report and the dealer themselves emailed picture when the car came to them and where they parked it up. My point is you pay £38k for a car you should not have be checking under the bonnet on a brand new car. They not even filled the service book out. It just poor service. My car before this was a Volvo xc60 I never had an issue in fact they made me spend 2hrs with a vehicle orientations person and sign a document at every stage we completed the introduction. Toyota I got the cars out side go and have a play there your keys. Any problems cone back . No introduction to after sales service, nothing it was poor I have experienced pick up a new car in that way between means my partner we both have new cars ever 3 years As I said I had Volvo, before that Peugeot hybrid 3008, Skoda superb, Vauxhall vectra, Rover 75, all these delivers have been done indoors the cars been cover in a sheet presented to me walk around shown the basics etc. Non off this from Toyota oh they left a cuddley Toy the back seat and the keys cone in a bamboo box, Every where else we had flower or wine with the lexus we had a Japanese tea ceremony with a bottle of champagne wrapped in silknwith a Japanese blessing hand painted, and flower and a handover inspection, our Mercedes flowers and and two Mercedes travel mugs. Volvo potted plant chocolates a card and £30 voucher for fuel Skoda flowers Czech crystal paper weight with Skoda sign on it Peugeot flowers and champagne truffles Vauxhall flower and a car care kit. Rover 75 flowers sparkling British wine This hand over was slap dash ibwas left feeling under valued as a customer I never expect anything yes we got a cuddley you butbitvwas left on the back seat. Customer service does not take much effort but they loose out on sales Any way the car has been sprayed with thus anti rodent stuff and it will be dobevagain in 6 months our Lexus hybrids sitting inbyhevsane garage at home has also been checked no rodent damage and has not been sprayed . Bioplastic I understand but they should be building in anti rodent chemical or telling customers. I have noticed Honda will sell you the anti rodent spray and tape.

Almost 12 months in with our Prius PHV and still more than happy with it. Maybe a full EV in the future, but currently we are achieving an average of 110+ mpg with home charging (30+ miles on EV then hybrid at 75+ mpg) and grabbing top-ups as practical - mainly shopping centres with free charge points. No range issues and low running costs. (Plus an affordable vehicle when bought at 12 months/10000 miles old when compared to a new EV). Cheers

I am having an issue with the auto headlights on my 2016 Toyota avensis estate,they have stopped working auto work perfectly on manual, been to dealer they say it's all working ok ,I know they are controlled by the camera that is mounted in the windscreen, this camera controls other things too,the lane change warning,the speed signs,crash controlled auto wipers these all work fine except the auto headlights. Has anyone experienced this problem.
