Hello, and welcome.

It is very unusual for battery to just fail. But it has happened before. I would recondition/replace battery first, before diving into gr86 charging circuit and measuring drain. Quick google shows similar issue with one person on Pistonheads, but treads stop before resolution.

I see on all professional car videos use of impact guns for undoing any bolts. Due to limited space in the 86, probably would be good option to crack nut with. Bracing the wheel is not necessary, I had both of my hands on the wrench.

Hi, You got all points well covered. It is a straightforward job as described. Use the biggest wrench you got with drive extension to undo 17 mm nut. This minimises force applied by you and possible accidental movement of wheel to engage steering lock. The clock spring has plastic housing and...

It is OEM+ look I am going for, it has changed “feel” of the car, with slightly softer and thicker leather.

One with dashboard as promised

Not able to send straight on pictures now, if still interested I can send them in about weeks time.

It cost me just above $500 delivered to UK. No customs from Taiwan to UK.

I watched same video for reference. To change the wheel I would say is very easy with basic tool skills. Only difference from above video, our cars have one plug going to back of airbag assembly. Everything is straight forward with very little chance of damage to anything. A few clips, one bolt...

Flat bottom, it takes seconds to get use to. Slightly more sporty sensation in my opinion.

Installed new steering wheel from Rexpeed. Custom made, 2 weeks to arrive from Taiwan. Easy enough job, watched couple of videos before. Took me an hour to fit from start to finish. Car now easier to get in and out. Wheel is just slightly thicker than original which makes it much more...

Are we talking about wired Apple CarPlay connection as OP?😃

Q2. Touch screen in Apple CarPlay works if car is stationary and voice commands once on the move.

If going for windscreen replacement you need to get moulding trim Toyota p/n SU003-08621. Some service centres are not aware as it comes sepetatly from glass.

Filled up my old CRV with Esso Supreme+ diesel. I do it once a month to clean injectors and try to keep DPF filter from clogging. £2.09 per litre and £95.59 for full pleasure. Next day filled up my 86 with Esso Supreme+ 99, felt like a bargain at £70.
