Sounds like there's not enough refrigerant to allow the compressor to kick in. Needs a system check and refill...as Mike say..you may have leaks.

MY21 2.0 GR Sports come with 18’s as standard, the 1.8 still comes with 17’s. Comfort is fine but I’m used to 18/19” wheels on previous cars. Road noise is certainly there, not too intrusive yet but time will tell, only done 80 miles so far!

Hi all, will be collecting my new TS GR Sport in a week, looking forward to my first hybrid, was really impressed with the drive. Any other GR Sport owners here, how are you finding yours?

Picked up the new car today, over the moon just trying to come to grips with the Toyota app and settings. Controls very similar to the Subaru, not surprising really as Toyota part own Subaru.

This is the replacement for Toyota's 5+ Club. Extracted from a UK dealer's website in advance of Toyota's embargo: Toyota Relax Toyota Relax is a service activated warranty, which is available to Toyota drivers of vehicles under 10 years old* from 1st June 2021. With Toyota Relax, customers who bring their Toyota vehicle to their participating dealer for a service will benefit from an additional 12-month (10,000 miles) warranty, included in the price of their service. Have you been servicing your car elsewhere? You can still get a warranty with every service! Everyone gets a 12 month warranty, no matter who they are, or what they've been up to! Toyota Relax unlocks the true unique value of Toyota quality, durability and reliability for the benefit of our owners. It’s a really simple, no-catch proposition. Fixed price servicing ~Genuine Toyota parts ~Fully Qualified Toyota Technicians ~Hybrid Health Check Toyota Relax ~Comprehensive 12 month / 10k mile Toyota Warranty ~Covers 100% parts and labour ~Includes Hybrid components Toyota Relax applies to all Toyota vehicles outside of manufacturer warranty cover and under 10 years old / 100k miles. It is activated on the completion of an interim or full service. Any Toyota vehicle – less than 10 years old and covering less than 100k miles – that receives a service where it has less than 12 months of Manufacturer warranty remaining will benefit from a Toyota Relax 12 month warranty extension. There is no impact for customers with an existing service plan agreement. They can continue to come in for a service and claim against their plan, with the added benefit of a Toyota Relax contract if their vehicle is eligible

Well done...hope it all works out for you and that it's another Toyota that's been saved.!

That s great, just another reason to buy Toyota cars and products. Well done. If you buy a new Toyota now in 2021 which actually is the most sensible choice for most drivers you are covered by the manufacturer for 5 years and another 5 on top if you continue to service with them and drive normally, not excessively. , what more can you ask for!? 👍👌🚗

I'd suggest your first port of call would be an A/C specialist. If the gas has been gone for some time, then there's a likelihood of water vapour being in the system and then a new dryer would be necessary. A specialist will suck out any existing gas and oil, weigh it and leave a vacuum on the system to check for leaks. If there's a leak, there's no point in re-filling the system. If the system tests OK, they can then re-fill it with the correct amount of gas and oil. I've heard some places can charge as little as forty quid. I've recently had mine done, it lost around a third of the gas over seven years, which seems to be an acceptable rate of loss. It cost seventy quid at an independant and the A/C's still crap. It works, but nowhere near as well as other cars I've had.

Did you look on the underside of the bonnet, too?

No need to apologise, we were all new sometime or other. Any other questions - just fire away, plenty people on here who can answer.

That's how the hybrids are, a slight lip on the disk but nothing major, the rears don't get much use - if you're doing local runs and short journeys they never get the heat in to them

It is common with Toyota hybrids that the brake discs show up rust. Due to the nature of braking on a Toyota hybrid, the actual brakes are used less then in a non hybrid car. The hybrid part of the car uses itself to slow the car down initially, more pressure on the brake pedal will bring the actual disc brakes into operation. This means the pads should last longer, but the actual discs will show rust signs and can actually prematurely end the life of a disc if it gets really bad. Best thing you can do, but only when its safe and no other vehicles about, is to brake very hard with continued pressure, This will help to keep the discs free of rust. Likewise, after a downfall of rain and your car been standing for a time, when you drive off you may hear a grinding sound, again this is the light surface rust that has been formed being rubbed off.

It might be worth spending a little time reading the owners manual - long-winded and complex though it is. The really simple headline guidance states: and in more specific detail later on: There's a lot more than I have quoted ... 😉

I would say guffer tape something as a temporary fix and wait for a reply from one of the guru's. The smoke could oil splattered on hot surface? I think this might be the part number but best confirm it, message @Parts-King , he's very helpful.

Collected mine today, had a nice drive home, so smooth compared to my diesel Focus. Need to go through the menus and see what’s what..

Well if we are showing our GR sports, here's mine. Had it from end of March, just over 1000 miles so far.

First trip out today as the sun was shining

The car will have TPMS but doesn't have a menu. I suspect you are looking for a display of the pressures. The TPMS just puts on a warning light when pressure drops out of tolerance - it doesn't tell you which wheel, just warns you to go and check. Hope this helps.

Hello! Any particular problem with your car? Perhaps someone there can help you. Good luck!

It is better to be straight with insurance companies. Far less hassle. They will always look for any possibility to not pay out or reduce the claim, ignorance is no excuse. If you knew of the modification, that will make you feel even sicker than a pig if you get caught out. Bad enough if you didn't know. Peace of mind is worth more. More often than not, the premium is not affected, or not by much. But if they think you are deceiving them, it can be in the future.
