Cheers for the information. Weirdly, it felt slightly less weak tonight, although I had to have it turned to Max AC for it to eventually feel coldish. It's nowhere near as strong as I remember the AC being on the test drive car though, I remember that blowing nice and cold in a heat wave in...

I make sure it's run regularly, but not all the time, even in winter when I don't use the car as much as I've heard about keeping the seals lubricated. I have sometimes gone a few weeks between drives though. Even then, it seems far too soon for it to fail. I was told it was considered normal...

Hello all. My GR86 is 21 months old now, but the Air Conditioning has been feeling very weak in the warmer weather we've had, and taking a while to blow cold. Toyota dealer has told me this is normal for it to have lost its refrigerant by now, and are going to charge for a gas recharge despite...

Looks lovely NickC, didn't expect to see one in the UK. I've always liked seeing the pics of the orange ones, would love to see one in person, but I hardly see any in real life of any colour!

I tend to barely use it in winter due to salt (despite having protection applied to the underside), I may be a bit over the top in this, but I do try to take out occasionally when there's no salt to keep things moving. Cars that don't move for prolonged periods can suffer.

In four again today. Okay, today's has annoyed me...

Late to today's party. Got it in four. Knew I'd seen those design features somewhere but it wasn't until pic four that it hit me.

Rowan Atkinson piled the miles onto his McLaren F1, considered one of the most used examples, and he managed to crash it a few times too. He sold it for £8m.

Always worth a lot of ringing around, including train lines, otherwise, new key time I'm afraid! I wonder, can they effectively disable the old key, and recode the new ones?

Ooo, got brand in four, car in five. Not my era of cars so I'm quite happy with that.

High mileage GR86s will be the best ones! 😁

That's not bad at all, I was considering buying yours to have a play with, but as I didn't have the car yet, I held back. I'll see how it is over time.

They said that Toyota don't do it from the factory therefore they don't think it's needed. Surface rust is normal. Also mentioned that coatings can cause water to be trapped under (I think this refers more to the rubbery coatings of the past, not liquid film/wax style) and that they make it...

I'll comment more on it when I get it back as the value is relative to the work done, it could be good or bad and I may be crying... The film is going to be Suntek Reaction which is meant to have good clarity, is self-healing and is precoated in ceramic. It has a 12 year warranty but we'll see...

You went for the silver in the end didn't you? Both great colours with their own benefits. I've stumped up for a full PPF as I hope it's going to be a keeper. 😅
