I've just checked, you can still look up the spec of your car (based on VIN) on: https://www.toyota-tech.eu/Menu/Repair then vehicle specification. Still has it listed for mine as Alarm/immobiliser

Thanks for that, I’ve printed out the spec for my car. When the ombudsman finally looks into the missing alarm I’m sure they will ask for those details.
 
Nice work, much appreciated. On the toyota tech website, do you have to register there separately as it doesn't recognise my "mytoyota" login details??
 
I notice on the spec sheet for my car it says it comes with mud guards, is that something else that’s missing that should have been fitted? What do other people’s specs say?
 
Many thanks. Downloaded both the general spec sheet and my VIN based one (y) (y)

Mud guards - with.

Thanks for this. I eventually found it and have screenshot all the screens (I viewed on smartphone) plus downloaded the pdf which is also available. More invaluable info - what a great forum this is, with v helpful members.

Mine says comes with mud guards - but I did pay to have these fitted,

Odd things on my spec sheet:
Seat material - Leather
Mud guards - With
Owners manual - Without

I wonder whether all these discrepancies strengthens or weakens any claim against TOL. They will probably try to argue that different markets had different specs, which make it difficult to ensure the spec lists correctly matched cars. But that would be a problem for them to resolve/remedy. Be interesting to see how the alarm issue plays out 🤔

The VIN specific spec list should be spot on shoudn't it? Just sloppy IMO. Whether they can rely on "sloppy" as their defence is another matter though.
 
Didn’t quite a few people have rear parking sensors fitted FOC courtesy of TGB because the spec list mentioned them, but they weren’t fitted to UK cars? Another arrow in the quiver perhaps.

I guess the seats are partially leather, but why it says without an owners manual is a bit bizarre, unless it’s referring to one you can access from the touchscreen. My spec sheet says the same as yours.

Toyota subsequently removed the parking sensors from the spec sheet for the second batch of cars. But yes, having agreed to correct that discrepancy I was surprised the response from Toyota was so poor regarding the alarm.

Thanks for the reminder, will stick that in my reply to the FO. Thrown in a comment about the mud guards too, might as well pile on while I have the chance :p

Parking sensors were just an add-on though, not integrated into the headunit or anything like that.
Installing a 'factory' alarm system is a different proposition altogether.

I had forgotten about that aswell! BUT do we have anything firm that I can send to the FO about it? Has anyone got any promo material that included it? TIA.

Aside from the parking sensor issue, I wonder if it might be a good idea to keep all this other ‘stuff’ in your back pocket for now?
