If you want a nice red cable that I can confirm works (and is USB-C), then take a look at the OnePlus cables.

Are you looking for alternative app suggestions or do you need help getting the phone working with your car better? Is Waze just broken currently? I just use Google Maps for everything, works fine. If your phone doesn't reliably connect with the car, then the prime cause is the phone's usb...

It has worked fine for me. The only challenge is getting the damn wire wrapped up neat enough to fit it back in its space! Pressure shown on the gauge matches the tire monitoring screen too.

On Toyotas if you hold the lock button and press unlock twice on the key, it turns off the key broadcasting. Pressing a button wakes the key back up. This means you can protect your car from relay attacks every night without fully disabling it. Also remember, you only need the hardest car to...

Fewer ignition attempts per rotation too on a 3cyl. More cylinders are more willing to start as there are more chances of one of the cylinders firing per crank rotation. I am surprised that a modern DI engine isn't a guaranteed ignition on the first attempt these days, but it appears not...

For what it is worth, my local RRG had noted on the service sheet in big letters that the oil was a specific type, and that it could be found on the shelf of 'special order parts', and DO NOT USE BULK OIL. So I'm hoping the tech could read!

Madness, isn't it? If there was indeed a hazard that I needed to brake for and I had yet to respond to, surely the last thing I should do is look at the dashboard and not the road ahead??? Unless the lawmakers expect us to train ourselves to instinctively slam on the brakes any time a car beeps...

The letter i received today says "there is a chance your car is fitted with an uninitialised PCS sensor, so may not be able to detect obstacles." I can confirm mine was initialised, as it beeps at nearly every parked car....

Hey @Viisos, I'm glad you made it here from Reddit, this forum is much more active than the subreddit. My suggestion is still boost cut, given the boost gauge barely moves above zero after your shift, but maybe someone else has an idea!

The body crease along the door is perfectly positioned to be hit by other car doors in car parks, and the aluminium doors love to dent!

Fitting the LSD is a bit of a job, as you have to split the gearbox case with all the fun that entails when it comes to aligning the gears for reassembly. Buying an assembled LSD box, fitting it, and selling your open diff one isn't a terrible plan, but it does require having the funds to have...

I have just spent ages looking at the parts catalogue. The diff is definitely in the gearbox case. It is hard to read as they are on very different pages, but I think there are concentric shafts (one slipped inside the other), with the outer one driving the transfer case and the inner one...

It is definitely the greener option!

I don't really see how you can ever have a connection with a soulless machine. Much better to have a living, breathing horse, with it's own moods and emotions, that requires training from birth to follow your command. These ICE vehicles will never catch on. We have far too many stables...

I have noticed the brakes do squeal if they are only being used lightly for a long time. This usually manifests as I am making my way back home through suburbia . The brakes are so strong you barely need to press them to stop in traffic, and this means they make noise at every set of traffic...

I believe the key is the same size and shape as the current Hilux key, so maybe look at options marketed for that? Does the 2 button version from the link below fit? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/303609941072

Worth noting that if you took a service plan out when you bought the car you may have the cost of the health checks already bundled in, so it is definitely worth getting it done to get your money's worth! I do with my service plan from RRG.

Can you guys stop polluting both the air and the forum please? This is devolving to personal insults now.

But each manufacturer gets their own limit based on the type of vehicles they make. If you only make small cars then you have a much lower fleet limit than if you only make HGVs, otherwise it wouldn't be fair. Toyota might have the lowest actual average, but also a cripplingly low limit too...

EU fleet emissions perhaps? Maybe 3 pure ICE cars is already too much. Toyota do not have the large commercial vehicle offering in the EU to get a higher limit, and with no BEV yet to offset. I would have though the huge hybrid range would help them though.
