When I had new tires fitted the chap said you need a special tool to change the disks which they don't keep. Is that true? and does that mean they have to be done by a toyota specialist.

Last year I upgraded my dash cam in my daily to an ultra 4k so it cought all of the detail of speeding cars driving dangerously. The police have now improved their footage upload website. I only send in when the car is driving stupidly dangerous and putting lives at risk. Here in bradford there...

On the other site some are warning about this new site that has popped up selling at silly low prices: https://fensportcheap.shop/product/hks-super-turbo-muffler-exhaust-urban-matte-edition-gr-yaris-hks/ Pretending to be Fensport? I wouldn't touch it.

Got my ticket and plan to arrive at close to 9:00am so would be nice if we can park near if we don't get our own spot.

Yes, I have been looking out for this. I will be there and taking my great nephew with me so I hope we can get our own area. When can we book and will the GR Zoo option be available to choose if I book next week. Come on everyone, lets get ten of us again - TR1 will buy everyone a drink - hopefully!

It is being reported on many press platforms but I have made a small copy of just one section. "South Korea has asked automakers to identify the suppliers of batteries used in their electric vehicles, a government statement said on Tuesday, as authorities seek to calm public safety concerns...

Korea are now getting worried about EV fires after a Merc spontaniously set on fire in an underground garage in an apartment block taking out 140 cars. A secons fire happened a few days later which made them have an emergency meeting to discuss EV dangers in public buildings. Another poster says...

Thanks for that Ojcrow. I will now take these in when I book it in for its year 4 service.

Yes Markku, you are correct. Watched it this morning and then washed my lovely red GRY in the sunshine (sun always shines in Yorkshire by the way!) and had a cold beer while staring at it. What an absolute delight to own this car and I didn't even drive it. That comes tomorrow when I am setting...

Ojcrow, can you please list those correct part numbers for the oil. I say this as up to now mine is used just for steady road use but next year I plan to do scotland a couple of times including the NC500 and would like to make sure my local Toyota dealer puts the correct parts and oil in for the...

The MK1 lots of different people could afford it and did buy it which was good to see. alx describes it as an "up price of 25k" to exchange into the MK2. That does look about right. I think that will move the GRY from the "most" petrol heads car to a new higher bracket of the "few". Those that...

When I was at the Goodwood weekend I spoke to the person who went and got me the keys for the new GRY 2024 which was locked but she opened it for me to look at. I mentioned I had a Yaris Cross as daily and love it but might upgrade to pretend GR Sport version. She smiled and said - just wait a...

I have been buying new Toyotas for 20 years and have had regular warranty issues. They have always been fixed without a problem. My cousin was a Toyota mechanic then the workshop manager in a large Toyota dealership and I once asked him should I be concerned about my 9 year old RAV4 getting...

Oh no, just when I was about to order the Gemera to replace my Yaris Cross so I get to the shops quicker. Bummer!

I am over cautious with tyres. I have a full size spare in the GRY - a bola wheel and nuts with a dunlop tyre on when from when I put the new PS5 tyres on. When I do the NC500 I will buy a new PS5 tyre and place that on top of the full size wheel. I expect to do many more long trips in the...

Thanks for that. I have started to think about a Lexus next and am aware of the link with the Yaris Cross but didn't know about the GR link. So Toyota won't be building a new car, just adapting the new Lexux to suite Toyota customers and its pricing range. It should happen I think. In my early...

While at the Toyota MK2 stand I mentioned that I drive a Yaris Cross as a daily and she smiled and said Toyota are well down the road to producing a propper sports SUV like other manufacturers have and not just a sport version as in the Corolla and Yaris Cross sport. It will use the Y.C. as a...

I looked at the two special edition GRY at the GR racing stand. When I spoke to the chap and asked how many of them were coming here he didn't know but he did say that the two I was looking at were the actual cars owned by the two namesakes - their own cars and they had been asked to move them...

I saw it at the F.O.S at the weekend. I like Toyotas but also have a soft spot for Honda and thought it looked lovely up close. The chap said it will be here in a couple of years as a 2.0L hybrid. The comments about the Capri were fairly unanimous - looks like a standard boring electric SUV. I...

It was always going to be risky selling a Mk1 in readiness for buying the Mk2 especially when they said "current" owners. Hopefully they will find something else quickly. What's the saying --------It's better to have loved and lost than never loved at all.
