    @James-UK That was my guess, (or the extended roadside assistance), would have hoped signing up to a plan like that would give you a bit of a discount. Seen some have locked in a 10 year service plan which is very impressive and that would be worth it if the monthly payments do not have RPI...

    GR86 New GR Parts for the GR86 *Coming Mar23*

    Aftermarket sunroof were really common, 205 GTi I bought in 1997 had one, it was good, just a pop up one not a slide back. Wont lie, any chance of buying a car with a sunroof I do! Quite like the fact our old Disco 2 has 2x sunroof's, one for front and one for rear people :) Think they died...

    GR86 New GR Parts for the GR86 *Coming Mar23*

    GR Rear Window Louver It gives the vehicle a sporty appearance and improves the comfort of the rear seat occupants. I like that it improves the comfort of the rear passengers - some plastic slats from the 1960s will take their mind off losing all circulation to their feet and having their...

    GR86 LHD headunit on early batches?

    I know, it all looks nice and tidy on the designers CAD, sitting in a show room Im sure its very 'smart' looking, but I dont get it! Im presuming they just employ people who dont really drive to make it look pretty.

    Me again - quick question for those who've taken out the service plan, as details are not that clear: Cost of 3 year plan £1296 - I've asked my dealer this includes the Brake Fluid Change at year 2 and the Air Filter change at year 3 as per the service book schedule. Cost of 3 services...

    I've had slightly mixed experience with Gtechniq, some of the stuff is absolutely amazing, others I feel is not the best for the price, not tried C2V3 but in all fairness for a quick wash I love Gyeon Wet Coat, spray on, rinse off, water beads for weeks and shine is good too. Amazing low effort...

    I had the 86 done with Toyota's 'Ceramic' coating, its obvious it was a spray on when speaking to them but managed to get it for free for other reasons. Anyway, I washed mine and used snow foam, you could see where the Toyota 'detailer' had done a good and poor job, the bonnet/roof the snow foam...

    GR86 LHD headunit on early batches?

    Yeah, the indicators operate in almost the same way as my e92 BMW which I really like, BUT the BMW you can cancel them pushing up or down no matter which indicator is on, the 86 only cancels in the opposite direction which is just fiddly I think (and not helped with 9 years of muscle memory from...

    GR86 GR86 Confessions

    I actually got the PPF down the sills last week for that reason, even me being really careful its not that easy to step over them, passengers wont have a clue! This is the bit I got done for £350 which is very neat and tidy. The rear area covers the vulnerable section from chips too as the...

    GR86 GR86 Confessions

    I actually thought that might be mandatory in Europe, my confession is I didnt know it didnt have it and wondered why it wasnt kicking in! 🤦‍♂️ To be fair idling in traffic I dont mind it given it saves some petrol and its not as if the tank is big enough to waste fuel at lights and jams...

    GR86 Anyone managed to get any insurance quotes for the GR86?

    So they'll cover the car with mods but not the modifications themselves?

    Why do you even need to be notified? If it senses someone sitting there and activates, then should only get any sort of info if there is an error with it! Same with bings and bongs, if my door is open, I opened it, if the ignition is still on I know, if my seat belt isnt on, Im aware of that! FFS

    What I'd go for is a water purifier like this. I didnt think it would work but you do all the washing, and then as a final rinse put the hose through this and the water is purified, therefore nothing is left behind, not even a slight water mark or evidence of water. Ive some black / dark cars...

    Hi Andy Just looking for service info now I have the car and came across this. There doesnt look to be any dealer discounts anymore, do you have visibility of any. Know your post was last May, just wondered, at the moment the only benefit looks to be 8% off at Halfords. cheers

    GR86 Service intervals

    Hi, I didnt get offered the service plan when I bought my 86, given the handover I felt I did well to come away with 2 keys and a car! Does the service plan include the additional interval items e.g. Covers Oil/Filters, but what about spark plugs, brake fluid and fuel filter? Are those on top...

    Ive been the same, picked it up last monday, it sat on the drive all week while things were sub zero, thought I'll take it out at the weekend and still it was sub zero and I didnt want to cover it in filth, had PPF booked in for Monday night so had a 50 min drive and loved it. Got it back...

    GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

    How do you do this? I hate bongs and warning sounds. I KNOW if the seatbelt isnt on, or I've opened the door with the ignition on, or left lights on, etc etc!

    GR86 Poll - Will you be getting rear parking sensors retrofitted?

    That looks like the best job Ive seen of the install. Im worried letting Toyota dealer do anything to the car but am having sensors added
