Like FROSTYBALLS says, lubricate the check strap, it's the piece located midway between the two door hinges, to stop the doors over-opening and damaging the bodywork. It's unlikely to have failed on a 3 year old car...

Will be up-grading my Aygo 15 plate with 22,000 , with FSH , to a Sept 18 plate with 5k miles..No Road Tax to £140.00? and £7,900..Am I MAD...?

Result! Well done...

Aye Up Kev..I'm a new driver, 3 years, and all the up-dates I wanted put my already high ££ Insurance premium up to astronomical amount..Alloy wheels is the next mod..Or maybe winter tyres, if I'm sensible..??

Built the car around it? I'm guessing the fuel filter is not easy to replace either, as it has a service life of 120,000 miles..I believe..

Did it work, Ian? I'm going to have to get one after all the hassle of my Insurance claim..

Well, just got the Insurance sorted out. The driver of the Audi had a change of mind after the accident, and claimed I had run into her! After much correspondence, I was asked if I would be willing to go to Court, although I am in my final year at Uni, I agreed to. Then last week I was asked if I would accept 50/50 responsibility, sort of Knock for Knock agreement. I refused. Yesterday I got an email from my Insurance saying that the other driver had now admitted Liability....What a stressful few months.

It's great, isn't it David..?

Thanks for the replies, I'll have a word with my local dealer for the mouldings, my car has 3 doors too,

I quite like the new style wheel trims, and the black stripe on the doors, is this available for old cars like mine?....Groan............

Probably have to remove the engine to reset the tappets on these cars, Steve. I quite like the idea of hill climbs in our great little cars. I am going to do Staxton Hill, near Scarborough, Lythe Bank near Whitby, and Garrowby Hill, near Stamford Bridge. Littlebeck Hill, I've been told is near impossible to climb, and you will stall first time you try. For a Town car, they are a real fun drive..

Did you manage to fix the starting problem, Emma?

Great.. everyone should should have to drive up Sutton Bank as part of their test. The Sat Nav gets confused at the top and takes you on an interesting drive past Rievaulx Abbey, on a single track road to Helmsley..! Most people on here haven't a clue what I'm on about..

Did you replace the pads and discs with genuine Toyota parts, or others makes?

The problem is the bend before the Bank, can't get a run at it..Interesting and testing drive..
