Here is my contribution to making UK cars a little bit rarer for everyone 😔 Happened a few weeks ago (was hospitalised for a while). Stay safe out there everyone. Might give a full post once insurance is sorted out (not that I remember much about the accident).

Picked up mine from service yesterday and all good. Fortunate that another sister dealership had the filter in stock (he said the sister dealership had 4 on the shelf!). They said they had ordered it from Toyota in advance of my service but had been given no indication it wasn’t arriving...

Dropped mine off this morning and didn’t hear anything about filters until this afternoon. Apparently they ordered one from Toyota which didn’t turn up and now been advised its on back order till January. Fortunately they managed to locate one at a sister branch which is arriving tomorrow...

Thanks Conscript. That’s annoying, guess i might have to go back to the old fashioned way of turning lights on and off myself. If nothing else, you’ve at least confirmed its not me going mad in my middle age!

Posting as a bit of a sanity check - but does anyone else get quite irritated by the way the auto lights decide to come on and off on the GR86? Never had this issue on any of my previous cars but I just find the auto lights way too sensitive to coming on, and then flicking back off again...

My car has suddenly starting doing this today mid-drive. Previously has always sat dead on 14 and not moved. Hope its not a sign that my battery is on the way out…. Car is used fairly regularly, typically 3 times a week for at least 15 miles each time so dont think its down to limited use.

Its from Billetworkz. Its the fusion gearknob they have on their site. Its quite pricey but doesn’t require a lockout adapter. Quality seems excellent, no concerns over longevity to be honest. Have had alcantara wheels and gearknobs before on Porsches, and as long as you keep them clean, i...

Finally arrived - my Fusion alcantara gearknob from Billetworkz. I know its not as colourful as others on here but as I said before, I’m a sucker for alcantara. Plus i really like how it looks like something that could be OEM. Really pleased with quality. Must resist temptation to get...

Looks nice. Mine has only just made it to the local delivery depot and have been stung for another £46 custom charge on mine 🤦‍♂️

Yeah the range calculator is way off i have found too. I’be had it drop down to supposedly only 28 miles left in the tank - but the fuel tank warning light still doesn’t light up (i assume there is one). When filling it up, then only got 30 something litres in. All literature i’ve seen...

Same status for me only its been at that status since 17 Feb….

thanks. Oh yours seemed to pass through UK customs very quickly. Mine is above… not looking too promising. I just read Billetworkz’s FAQ page and they claim they provide no refund if lost?!? (If you send via standard USPS service) Surely that can’t be enforceable?!

May I ask, for those who ordered from Billetworkz, how long did your orders take to arrive? Mine was despatched on 10 Feb, but it seems to be stuck at Heathrow since 17 Feb according to the US postal tracking with no movement since. I’ve had things I’ve ordered from China after the 17th...

Mine has been stuck in New Jersey since Friday. I went and ordered on a bit of a whim after w jealous seeing everyone’s knobs on here. Starting to wonder if spending $200 on a gearknob was actually that sensible given current cost of living pressures 😂 Am sure it will be worth the wait when...

Incidentally, had an email from Billetworkz earlier today to say that thanks to a slight redesign, the lockout adaptor is no longer required for the fusion knob. So saved $30 which is nice. Apparently despatched already so hopefully will be here soon.
