Thank you Mark for your assistance.

Hi Everyone. Has anybody got any info on what customisation might be achieved on my Auris Hybrid Business Edition 2016 when using a Carista unit. Thank you.

May I ask why you would want to disable a safety device, as once the belt is engaged the warning sound stops.

Hi. As we all know a battery is also a power storage device. Even when fully charged and not doing anything there will be natural drainage from the battery. When fully charged the Toyota system might show that it is still charging the hybrid system. This of course is correct but the input would be greatly reduced to a trickle charge until a larger input is required.cheers

Hi Keith. I think you are right. A fully charged battery should be showing 12.80 volts. If it has been left for a while, say a couple of weeks it should not drop below 12.64 volts. Any readings below this would cause a on going problem especially during any cold weather if and when it arrives. Get your dealer to carry out a voltage resistance drop test, if they cannot do it there are lots of battery sales companies that carry out a free check. Cheers.

Hi. I to purchased a nextbase from eBay brand new complete with a hard wire fitting kit. I fitted myself into the fuse box behind the glove box and concealed the wiring behind the doortrim rubber. It was a really easy straight forward job taking approx 15 to 20 minutes. Total cost £59.99.

Hi Steve. Would it be possible to borrow your dog.🤣🤣🤣😂

You are right Dave. I am soooooo embarrassed that I now actually put my head out of the drivers window and shout beep beep.🤣

Give the dealership three strikes to repair. If these symptoms persist I would be inclined to return the car as not fit for purpose.

Hi. I think that you will find that they just pressure wash the outside and vac the interior.

I think you will find your fuses behind the glove box. Very easy to get at.

Some cars still use a pressure regulating valve on the rear brakes. This allows for different weight scenarios in the back of the car. If this is fitted you need to have at least two adults sat in the back when bleeding the rear brakes, this opens up the valve more. Worth a check. Good luck mate

If I am in a long queue of traffic I will put the car into N then apply the handbrake. If the traffic is stop start I will just keep my foot on the footbrake.

Have you màde sure your battery connections on the car are secure.??

Hi. If it is a wheel bearing you will get a deeper louder noise when cornering.
