Cheers Mark! I will book it in with them. Might source my own oil for this one too. I think there are a few of us in the Swansea area, we should arrange a coffee meet at some point.

My friend had the Mk IV Golf V6 4Motion back in 2006 when I had a Clio Trophy. It had the lovely 2.8 VR6 engine which sounded so good. It didn’t have the handling and chassis dynamics of the Trophy, a fair chunk heavier with most of that weight in the nose, but it could certainly cover ground...

Why is it so hard to get hold of the correct spec OEM oil? The car has been out for 2 years now! I understand the chip shortage, but this is just bizarre. It’s the sort of service I would expect from Renault or Ford, but not Toyota. Anyway…can anyone recommend a service centre dealership in...

Yeah I thought that as the dash icon shows both pedals. Try starting the car with just the clutch depressed next time.

I believe that particular cacophony was achieved by removing the exhaust completely and stuffing a squirrel into the intake. Could be wrong.

Considering they’re almost half the price they do seem like a good alternative, the F1s: I’ll probably be sticking with the OE tyres though. Unless they come out with a 5S of course.

Put 4 Pilot Sport 4Ss on there and enjoy 95% of the circuit pack’s ‘improvement’ over standard! Seriously, they are incredible tyres for road use. Most of the dry grip of a track oriented tyre but with great all weather handling and decent durability.

I’ve changed my mind on EVs. As long as I can get Icon to build mine I’ll be happy to own one.

It’s a pain. Some recommend checking the level with the engine warm too. But then more of it is deposited around the engine and not in the sump. My 20 year old Clio, that cost around a fiver new, tells me the oil level digitally when I start the car. In 2022 I would expect the MyT app to tell...

I think you’re onto something here. I loved my Integra (UKDM so 187 bhp and around 1,100 kg) but it felt a little slow on track, where it would be overtaken by everything on the straights. The RS Clios, and in fact many other hot hatches, are nearly all around the same 165/170 bhp/tonne mark...

I remember thinking when I first read about the GR Yaris that it had a very similar output to a Clio V6 255, from half the engine! Then realised it weighed a good 120 kg less despite having four seats and 4WD. It can also go around a wet roundabout without exiting at the wrong junction. In...

Aye. And the one on the left still needs straightening up.

My first spot since moving to Wales, a black one driving through the town centre at 12:00.

This is a f***ing outrage. Despite liking peanuts and not particularly liking hazelnuts, and the larger size of the Marathon ‘Snickers’ bar, the Topic was always a superior confection. There is literally nothing good about the way the world is going…

There is nothing whatsoever on that forum that can’t be reanswered here, probably by the same people. For example, @MagnusT copy/pasted all of his very useful content, such as the mirror mod*, to here when this forum started. *I literally picked this as an example as I did the mirror mod very...

I’m not logging in to the new one. Deleting the bookmark. It did its job when I was waiting for my car, but that was down to the other owners, and they’re mostly on here now.

‘Welcome to Toyota Yaris GR Forum’. Let everyone know straight off you don’t know anything about the subject of the forum or give two f**ks either way. Pure $$$ harvesting shite.

That’s insanely shiny! Sticky should do some hexagonal pinstripe decals. Get that fresh from the detailers look with zero effort/expense. 😁

Glad you enjoyed Cefyn Bryn. Gower is very busy these days (esp. in summer) and all 40mph now, so won’t be going for drives there much. I’ve been in Wales two weeks now. I tried to reply to this thread back then but internet was playing up as 4G mast was down from a storm (country life eh?)...

I wonder if anyone has put an Odyssey or similar gel battery under the bonnet and freed up the boot area completely? I guess these are no good with the stop/start system so that would need deactivating.
