After I started using a battery tender I noticed the voltage jumping between 14 volts and 12.5ish volts during driving. It’s the smart alternator doing its job exercising the battery after it’s fully charged, it is nothing to worry about.

Rare sight this morning, I passed a green GR86 with what I think were Vland headlights near Barton on Humber Cricket Club. Not sure if it was wrapped or an import Ridge Green, but I know a crash damaged one was sold with aftermarket headlights a few months ago so leaning towards a wrap. Got a...

Had you left your internal light on (the dome light/map light)? That’s caught a few of us out.

I got one of these just for a bit of fun, but it does fit well enough.

Taking it for its first long drive of the year this weekend and the weather forecast couldnt be better, so I gave it a quick wash on Wednesday evening for the first time since before the SCITP washout. Still lots of beading action from the Turtle Wax Seal N Shine that I use, so managed to bring...

It’s a five digit code, and the car loudly beeps after each digit. The entire car then unlocks with no way of re-locking it unless you have a key with you. So it’s useful for getting a key stored in the boot, not so useful for grabbing something from the car if you’ve left your key somewhere...

Yes that was mine, it’s a Hobby Japan 1:64 model, I think I got it from AliExpress. https://a.aliexpress.com/_EQ3EeAa

We went in the hall after lunch and the weather picked up. Ended up having a ride on the train , grabbing another coffee, and letting the kids loose in the adventure playground. My car looked a bit lonely when I went back to it. Photo credit goes to Gary Ward, who posted it to Facebook.

I managed to get a photo showing the condensation in the camera. John Roe Toyota in Hull replaced the camera under warranty when the car was in for diff oil replacement, no fuss at all.

With the cars, no cover other than a few trees and maybe some gazebos. Newby Hall has the manor, cafe, and one or two more buildings to look around.

So much time went into getting it clean 😭 I refuse to be rained off though!

That will go down by one next time it gets reported, written off sapphire blue one seen on a recovery vehicle heading out of Hull today 😔

There are 11 of us on the GR Zoo stand at the moment. Fingers crossed for good weather!

The lights do come on when you approach it, but they also stay on indefinitely if you turn them on manually. Worth remembering, because it will drain the battery in a single night!

I expect it would depend on what shows up when Toyota scan it, and where you bought it from. If it was Toyota approved used I would think they’d have to honour the warranty as long as you’ve not done anything abusive since you took ownership. If it was from an independent dealership I expect...
