I suggest everyone who feels aggrieved raise a dispute with the motor ombudsman as soon as they get the standard response from Toyota. Precedent has been set with the cases that they have adjudicated, and even if every single one of us is unsuccessful it will send a message to Toyota that their...

I think finance buyer can still raise a dispute with the motoring ombudsmand, so consider doing that instead or as well. I've just lodged my complaint with the motoring ombudsman as I didn't take Toyota finance, and I expect that form was more suitable for this type of case as it asks the the...

Toyota got back to me from my email in late December. Offer to reimburse up to £500 if I show them evidence of having an alarm fitted. I’m not interested in a third party alarm for a number of reasons, and I said as much. They won’t budge, so I will be raising a dispute with the ombudsman.

Someone who enquired about one posted that only four buttons can be used, reducing the number of possible codes. Probably not a huge concern, as the idea is nobody knows it’s there, the specific buttons is not public information, and even the shortest code length (4) has 256 combinations. I...

I’m going for lunch, won’t arrive until about 12:30 though then straight to The Arnage. Hope to see a few of you still there after we’ve fueled up.

This was me, took my daughter there for lunch. Fully expected to be parked on the grass for not being on theme.

My wife swears she saw a red GR86 in Barton on Humber today, heading towards the big roundabout above the A15. I’m in Barrow and I’ve never seen another apart from at the dealership and Jap car meets, would be funny to find someone so local.

I've just had my insurance renew, and the question of modifications obviously came up while doing comparisons. Ended up staying with Quotemehappy, but the question of declaring the mod was lingering. Has anyone declared this? I looked through the entire list and the only things that could apply...

This was bothering me, so I took the door card off on my lunch break. It may have been my imagination, but I think I could see a very small amount of corrosion on one pin in the module. I’ve remounted it upside down and re-routed the cables. While I was in there I also pushed the membrane tight...

I’m very tempted to pop the door card off and have a look at mine. I’d rather catch any ingress now before either the module or the car itself gets damaged. Does anyone have any suggestions to stop ingress? Current thought is insulating tape to try to create a weatherproof “boot” from the...

Saw these two parked creatively next to the marina in Hull. Anyone here?

I’ve just fitted the Mods Society kit and very happy with it. Works perfectly, and the instructions on the video linked by wilster888 made it very simple to fit. With a bit of perseverance and a long prodding tool, the harness can be fitted behind the clear plastic without removing it. Didn’t...

Interesting that Toyota state the lack of an alarm doesn’t impact insurance, yet at the end of October Toyota Insurance Services withdrew the 3 day drive away cover as an offering 🤔

I have some ideas, but I’m not going to speculate publicly, and I won’t be giving them my odometer reading in order to find out. Regarding a formal complaint, I don’t really have the time or energy for it. I’m going to try and focus on the positives (about the car and my life in general) rather...

Toyota have just responded again with this following: “With reference to our previous email our conclusion is this model does not have an alarm unit fitted. Sadly, we are not able to advise on a retrospective fitment or a compatible third-party unit. we are unable to offer a contribution to...

Toyota consider this matter closed. I responded to their copy/paste email saying “Thank you for the update. Please keep me updated as you work towards a resolution. When do you expect the next communication might be?”. Their response this morning is: “Thank you for your response regarding your...

I’m really liking the it, and my kids (3 year old twins) like it too. I can fit both of them in the back for nursery runs before I head on to work, so it ticks the “just about practical enough” box. Recently I ask them to “get into the black car” because we were all going out for the day, and my...

This was us the day after we picked up the car. Your Sapphire Blue was prepped behind ours at John Roe Toyota when we were collecting - the blue looks lovely in real life. How are you finding it? We're still running it in as per the US owner's manual, 1000 miles without going over 4000rpm. About...

Fairly sure Toyota GB are monitoring this thread. In my post I said “to get my name on the list”, but in my email I made no mention of any theoretical list of people who have raised this, I just asked to be kept “apprised of any developments”. Well their response says “We do not have a list...

Signed up to GR Zoo to weigh in on this. I have emailed Toyota to get my name on the list. Staying polite but showing receipts (I recommend others print their spec sheet). Here’s a template if anyone wants to use it: “Good afternoon, I took delivery of my GR86 (registration XX73 XXX) in...
