Possibly easier than explaining to their loved ones why they went through your windscreen. Or indeed easier than explaining to your loved ones why you were flattened when your passengers went through the windscreen. To be fair I can understand the request if the alarms are being triggered by luggage as mine have been once or twice but seat belts exist for a reason and I refuse to move the vehicle until everyone is wearing theirs.

Propably not

Is this affecting the warranty?

Any good ? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Toyota-celica-mk7-lotus-1-8-petrol-2zz-2z-ge-cylinder-head-needs-2-valves/324208761318?hash=item4b7c5919e6%3Ag%3AVAAAAOSwvhte858W&LH_ItemCondition=4

I making this update for the benefit of novices who might be interested on working on their brake hoses & need to know the spanner & washer sizes. The flare nut spanner needed to undo the metal pipe nut is 10mm. Advice on the web was to buy a 6 point one so I bought a 'Sealey VS0348 Brake Pipe Spanner 10 x 11mm'.It felt very secure in operation. The banjo nuts each require 2 x M10mm copper crush washers. These were not included with the Pagid hoses I bought. Very oddly there were none in place on the one I dismantled! The bleed screw needs an 8 mm ring spanner. I used Plus gas several times in advance of the work & had no issues when dismantling. The other other comment to make is what pain it is having single piston brake calipers with sliding guide pins which stick. I now use an adjustable blade hand reamer (size 10mm - 10.75mm) which I find just the job to clean up the holes without enlarging them. I use this with brake cleaning fluid.

I disabled them myself, downloaded techstream (you can pay for time limited license) and bought cable from ebay., Worked great.

The Toyota tilt alarm was already available before the quote above as given, but the exhaust manifold bolt anti-tamper fitment was only just about to be delivered to dealers at that time. The quote was for a 2013 model, so should be the same as yours. HTH.

Led lights for UK Corolla Verso were standard equipment from what date/version ?

The current Prius, Corolla saloon and Corolla Touring Sport have the same size wheelbase as the Avensis, and these three plus the Camry are Toyota's replacements covering the gap left by the Avensis.

In my area there are lots of Corolla estates used as PHV in my area of Greater London/Kent. I saw one of the first in the show room last year -

According to another member, @Louie you can disable the rear seat alarm by buying a carista obd dongle that costs 25 pounds, you can scroll down and find his post were he explains everything in more detail.

Oh now, hang on. Maintaining a database of the locations of potholes which after all don't move and using it to warn drivers is trivial. It's a minor extension of the basic feature set of any navigation system (potholes are just features of roads the same as junctions are). Being able to warn someone that they previously came into close contact with someone who has subsequently discovered they are infectious is a whole other undertaking. It requires telephones to do something they were never designed to do (measuring the distance between each other). It requires them to maintain a list of telephones that that they have come into 'close' contact with (something they'd never normally do). It requires some system to notify telephones of their historic close proximity to a suspect telephone. There are plenty of legitimate reasons for calling our government stupid (not just over track and trace and covering every government I've ever known which is all of them for the last forty years). But holding Waze up as an example is simply not valid. Waze isn't doing anything nearly as complicated as track and trace and is using your telephone exactly as it was always intended. Waze is basically a trivial application, that uses long established techniques. Track and trace apps are non-trivial and are on the cutting edge (probably beyond the cutting edge) of what current mobile telephones are capable of.

Looks great 👍

I am delighted to say that I have today taken delivery of my new RAV-4, ordered in June last year, it came into the country late March, it's been in lockdown but arrived today. It looks great, i have only taken it around the block but so far its seems well worth the wait. I am very pleased.

I didn't realise the EGR system changed with the facelift, mine is a Plug-in so post-facelift but it's only done about 76k miles so far so I haven't taken a look inside yet. I also use Dipetane, an additive that's supposed to help reduce carbon build-up but I honestly have no idea if it works. I'm planning on checking out the EGR once it gets to 100k, might be a few more years at this rate :)

Again, a fascinating selection of views, thought and knowledge. For reference, my EGR pipe was at 80k miles and the engine is not using any oil at all: TonyHSD - you could start offering an EGR cleaning service to TOC members! The Workshop Controller at a Toyota main agent confirmed the Gen2 was 'over engineered' and that Toyota made little profit from making it. The Gen 3 was less expensive to produce. The same Workshop Controller told me the EGR on the Gen3 was modified (because of soot issues) at the time the car was given a facelift in 2012/13. Interesting as this is, we must remember there are thousands of Gen3s out there that have well over 100k under their wheels with no faults or error codes!

SOLVED I still can't believe this. I had searched the Internet, asked Toyota, and tried all sorts of things. I had eventually given up. Then one day about a month ago I noticed that both main brake lights were not working. (A secondary light in the rear window was still working.) It turned out that the bulbs were blown, so I duly replaced them. The next day I noticed that the ABS light was no longer coming on. It has not reappeared since. The only way I can understand this is that the ABS system somehow monitors the brake pedal position through the brake light switch. Somehow the fact that two bulbs were blown was affecting the monitoring of the brake switch. I really don't know, but I hope that this info may help others.
