Trouble is he thinks he's a bat.

Has always been like that, but hey everyone who stay alive after all those bad times is lucky and should be thankful. Some time in the future the things will stabilise and so the car market, for now everything is F up.

Hi all. Thought I'd drop in and say hello! I'm currently a Nissan owner but I'm looking into getting either a Estima or a Alphard in the future. Cheers everyone, Clarkie. 😀

Remembered I had a bag of assorted LED bulbs in the garage and just had enough of the right types to swap out my interior bulbs. Nice white light now instead of the yellow.

What this means for most of us in the working class category, as always suffer the most, is a deep long recession worst than year 2008. This generation which I am in suffered greatly already, and will continued to suffer in the aftermath of this virus 😞 As always the rich will breeze through this.

New car prices have risen substantially since the Brexit referendum due to the sharp fall in the value of the pound. Imported cars and car parts (used to build cars in the UK) increased by about 25% on ex-factory prices. Coupled with Brexit uncertainty this reduced new car sales. Fewer new car sales means fewer part-ex cars. During last autumn/winter good used stock was very difficult to find. Auction prices were close to retail! Couple of times I came away from auctions empty handed. Franchise dealers were hanging on to stock they would normally send through acution. Used prices have been very high. Once we are through the virus crisis the economy is going to be very weak with probably an even weaker pound. I would expect a glut of used prestige vehicles and a shortage of clean bread and butter cars.

Denso manufacture wiper blades for Toyota. I ordered spares for my 2019 RAV4. The new blades are exactly the same as the original fitted blades, and a lot cheaper than Toyota dealer blades. i purchased the blades from CarParts4Less and these are their part numbers and prices for the RAV4 1 485778266 Denso Hybrid Blade 26 Inch Toyota Rav-4 2.5 2019 SR19FEF £17.37 1 485778166 Denso Hybris Blade 16 Inch Toyota Rav-4 2.5 2019 SR19FEF £7.27

Ac pulley cover

It's the outer part of aircon compressor pulley. The one below is similar, although not identical: https://www.hexautoparts.com/product/ac-compressor-clutch-replacement-kits-for-2007-2012-toyota-yaris-1700.html Does the aircon still work? I have heard of these falling off before, but can't remember whether or not it's essential to the operation of the air conditioning.

I think it will hit the luxury market first people with £500-1000 a month payments it will be the first thing to go, people handing back lease and company cars will flood the market too on the other hand older smaller cars will rise in value as repositions climb due to non-payment and people living beyond their means

Thanks PaulinhoT. I'm sure I recognise your name from another forum??

Hello Russell - welcome to Toyota Owners Club.

I would have thought the main difference between Corolla hatch and the Corolla sports tourer was rear of the drivers door, not the front. If that assumption is correct the front wiper blades should be no different. Parts King will clarify no doubt.
