Sounds great, as it should be! I had the same experience with Mazda seats: set and forget. Thanks for all the answers (got some DMs as well). This was my last doubt, and I am now waiting for my Corolla Hatchback to be delivered! Yay!

So, thank you everyone that got back to me, went to Toyota waterlooville and picked up my touch up paint, 8b6 bright blue metallic, that’s what it says on the tin! Lol, perfect base blue with a clear coat as well, £11 all in, very happy now 🙂

Hi You will need to make sure you are logged in to see the forum. @Cyker I also noticed you were not in the right rank group for the amount of posts you have, Not sure why that was so i placed you in the "Established member" rank which should give you a better experience when logged in. The forums work on a "more contributions, less ads" basis, so you are in the highest rank now. Hope this helps. As for the block not attracting members, this is not the case, we have actually seen 5 fold increase in member sign ups and also more posts and topics created daily now. So even though as harsh as it is, by them registering they get a better experience (less ads) and as now part of the club actually start to participate, which is what the club is all about.

While Frosty's point about GPS speeds is true, on straight, level roads the speed integrated by the system will be pretty accurate. Think a line of circular positions about 10 feet radius. At the same time, with the cruise control set at 65 (not ACC) the GPS speed varied between 59 and 60. To Frosty's last point, it is very satisfying going for the burn. A track day at your nearest speedway can get that out of your system. I took a Lamborghini to a blistering 55 mph 😁 For real speed go to Germany but do pick a quieter autobahn, check your tyres and brakes, and remember 105 is 50% faster than the UK max and the stopping distance is huge.

Can't imagine it would be different to any other combustion engine, as VVTi is just variable valve timing. You want to vary your engine speed and load, but without taking the rpm too high or using full throttle - everything in moderation. Above all else, avoid long periods at a constant engine speed. Keep a close eye on the oil level as consumption can sometimes be a bit higher during break-in.

I'd forgotten you could change the lumbar support! I set it to be comfortable when the car was delivered 21 months ago and it's still comfortable now. Truly a set and forget feature!

OK, I'll keep checking in. When I first joined I was aware this was a UK based forum, I joined, partially, so I wouldn't forget how to write in English (I'm from the UK, but have been gone so long). I realise that there among quite a few expats, a significant smattering of non-UK members.

@Dexter290 I presume you mean the Yaris Cross with a manual gearbox, some people just can't adjust to change, and I suppose it's what the local market will bear. After all, Dacia (the Roman name for Romania) was originally touted as purely for low cost markets.

Cannot say for sure, but pretty sure mechanical - you hear a motor running when activated in either direction...no sensation of releasing air as you move in and it certainly holds position once set.

The same point applies to the Prius - as it has always been hybrid, is there a continuing need to identify it as hybrid? The same scenario applies to the other UK models which are now only available as hybrids - Yaris, Yaris Cross, C-HR, Rav4, Camry, Highlander, etc. Deleting the hybrid badge will reduce costs by a small amount per car, but when viewed from a production viewpoint savings will be greater.

I believe all but the base model in the UK have parking sensors front and rear

In the UK, legally the speedometer must never show an indicated speed less than the actual speed. For all actual speeds between 25 mph and 70 mph (or the vehicles' maximum speed if it is lower than this), the indicated speed must not exceed 110% of the actual speed, plus 6.25 mph. For speeds either side of 25 mph and 70 mph, the indicated speed must not exceed 110% of the actual speed. Eg, if the vehicle is actually traveling at 50 mph, the speedometer must not show more than 61.25 mph or less than 50 mph. The above differs from the EU, where the speedometer must not exceed 110% of the actual speed. GPS readings, although generally more accurate than speedometer readings, are an average over a given number of points, so not totally accurate as regards speed at a given point in time. Note that the forum rules state: Don't post about things that break the law, or that might encourage others to break the law. Posts that break the above rule, whether reported by members or otherwise, may be subject to moderator action

That's really good. Plus the fact you don't give up. Ask away, there will always be someone to help. Flash22 is something of an encyclopaedia here!

Is it an abs fault ?

If it's any consolation to all you guys in the UK, I ordered mine, a LHD Yaris Cross Style here in Spain, doesn't seem to have an exact equivalent to the UK models, but 3rd up from base out of 4 if you see what I mean, no extras and Oliva Bronce colour, ie no premium paint job. Was told 6-8 weeks for delivery and currently at 8.5 weeks and not a sign and yes I am checking MyT about every 2 hours.

Hi Jon, couldn't put a picture in on a PM but this what I have.

Hi there, New here and thought I'd share my experience on how I removed the offside (drivers) rear wheel bearing assembley from an old 2006 Peugeot 107! Had watched several Utube video's, not sure I can mention that name directly here, showing several means to remove the bearing. Raising the car and removed the road wheel and brake drum first, then had problems undoing the 4 x 12mm blots holding the bearing onto the rear axle and brake drum back plate. All heavily corroded and the 12mm socket/spanners just turned, an 11mm wouldn't fit. After a good rumage in the bottom of my tool box found a very old 1/4BS 3/16W socket that fitted well, after plenty of pentrating oil the bolts released relatively easily. Very lucky that socket hadn't been binned long ago! Set to work with a slide hammer and a hub puller as shown in one video, as I had these already. Lots of penetrating oil but no sign of anything moving at all. Cleaned back all the corrosion I could find around the back of the bearing where it's exposed to all the elements but made no difference. Then read an article on this form suggesting a makeshift hub puller or pusher using M10 threaded bar with 6 nuts. Two lengths of 15cm of M10 bar passed through two opposing wheel bolt holes with a washer and nut placed behind the outer bearing flange and then two nuts on the very end locked together so the make shift pusher could be held whilst turning the 3rd nut to force the bearing from it's housing pushing against brake backplate. Two days trying these in varying combinations and the most the bearing moved was well under 1mm, even after the application of a heavy club hammer! A wrecked slide hammer and stripped thread repeatedly on most of the M10 bar I'd bought. Gave up after the second night and had a rethink. Third time, after a day off, I decided on a different approach! Found an old heavy duty metal drift about 25cm long and just the right diametre to fit between the bearing outer flange and the forward brake shoe resting the end against the top righthand lobe of the wheel bearing mounting and with the trusty lump hammer pounded until the mounting plate started to rotate anti clockwise, did the same on the bottom righthand lobe of the bearing mounting and watched as the mounting rotated back clockwise. More penetrating oil and repeated the process until the bearing mounting plate began to rotate more easily. Now I thought why use a hub puller/pusher when I could use the four bearing mounting bolts. Replaced them, having realigned the holes, but leaving each bolt undone by about 3 to 6mm. Placed the 3/16W socket with a long extension bar attached so I could work around the rear spring on the corroded blots and hit each in turn with the club hammer. To my relief the gap between the back plate and the mounting flange increased quickly and the bearing was nearly out. Removed all four mounting bolts and with a good tug the whole bearing came straight out like a "good Un"! No need for a slide hammer, hub puller or improvised tools. Dare say the penetratiing oil having had three days to work and all the failed attempts to remove the bearing may have made some difference towards the bearing finally coming free with my own take on removal. This seemed to work so much better than all the other ways I'd seen or had read about. Driving the bearing mounting to rotate in alternate directions until it turned fairly freely made a huge difference and also allowed to me to leave the brake shoes in place and left the old bearing relatively unscathed in the event I needed to refit it. Hope someone else here might find this a good alternative approach to removing these rear wheel bearings, they're a real nightmare.

Whoops!

I'd give the spark plugs a miss though being as it's a diesel

Hello, Did not find so far in my docs the fuse for fuel pump, but apparently R4 the relay part of the hidden "fuse box BF01 with soldered 4 relays module" under the engine compartment fuse box. ( https://fuse-box.info/toyota/toyota-aygo-ab10-2005-2014-fuses-and-relay ) May be surfing on the parts catalog (with your VIN) may help locating parts : http://europe.toylexparts.com/aygo/101510/kgb10l-agggkw/526w/001/4/8401 Also i found in my archives this thread without warranty having a diagram discussing BF01 and content (while mismatch with assignment R3 or R4 ...) this may give some clues to test few checkpoints ?

Trek model I liked as lighter interior seats. If read right all black leather? Oh I wish Toyota had more interior colour/leather, headliner options. 16 inch alloys as Icon Tech is what I would choose. Ride comfort more important than huge alloys and everything black! James👍

'over the air' updates sound good. 'Hybrid badges removed for all models' .. hmm, cost saving or to deter cat thieves? My Corolla already has this feature, courtesy of some dental floss! 😁

There are few people previously mentioned especially for the 18” wheels that going from falkens to Michelin or Goodyear made a big difference in noise and comfort. The post called best tyres for Corolla if I remember correctly 👍

I would double-check that oil spec, I have the tech sheet somewhere, Crack the fill plug loose before you drain it A 24 mm socket rings a bell

Wooo! Extra hour of sleep! And for the first time ever I have a Yaris I can just press a button to go back and hour instead of advancing the hour all the way around!

Useful to see all that in one place. Dimensions are a critical part of any prospective purchase and I've found this to be useful: Automobile Dimensions There is a 'garage simulator at the bottom of the pages where you can try any vehicle for size in your own parking space. Edit... you can also compare new and older versions.

hi mate do you have the oil recommendations for the 2010 2.2d 4wd 2010 model, i wanna do a full transmission oil service including diffs, i just can't seem to find out exactly what oil goes where Transmission 2.5lt API GL-4 SAE75 Transfer box .45lt API GL-5 SAE 85W-90 Rear diff .55lt Hypoid gear oil SX API GL-5 SAE 85W-90

Oh sorry, I think you asked me about this before. The transfer box and the rear diff is done every second service or intervals of 20k miles. There is no requirement to change the oil in the box, one of these sealed for life jobbies. However, I will do mine about every 4th year. Use only the proper 75 grade oil and sit down before paying for it. I always take off the undershield to do the transmission oil. Take the plug out of the transfer box and let it drain (green circle). Don't bother with the level plug, there is a filler plug high up (blue arrow) which is easier to get at; 0.45 litres of GL5 80W/90 You might find one of these useful; http://www.toolbox.c...se-15887-110762 OK, if you do choose to change the gearbox oil you need to remove the drain plug; Then the filler plug; But don't try to fill it through the front unless you have the above pump as you can't tip normal oil bottles up. Instead, take off the small access panel under the wing (2 clips) and fill from under there. It only takes 2.1 litres; OK now round the back of the vehicle and take out the drain plug (green circle - passenger side). Because of the internal clutch this will come out filthy; Now round to the drivers side and take out the level plug (blue circle). Fill with 0.55 litres of GL5 80W/90 and you will see why one of those pumps is a good investment - it is very awkward with an oil bottle!; PLEASE NOTE:- 2009 on models should use SX API GL5 85W/90 for the transfer box and diff' according to the data sheets. The only place I've managed to find this is from Toyota themselves.
