Yeah, it's an *awful* lot of cash to drop on a turbo.

I don't feel like this needs a lot of introduction, so let's get into it.

Cheers, Foxy. Despite being unhappy at having to sell, I'm pretty happy with the way it went down. I meant to mention that the guy who bought it is 77 years old. You would *never* guess it to look at him or speak to him. He is off to Blyton airfield this weekend for a track day in his GBS...

Sold now - thanks again for all the help and words of support! I case it's of any interest to you, "the trade" seemed to value the car at a maximum of £26k - I had three offers at that amount or slightly below that, from two car buying groups and one semi-local performance car dealer, who just...

I'm regretfully having to put my glorious GR up for sale. The nuts and bolts of it are in the title - I've priced it hoping for a reasonably swift sale, and am grateful to several of the forum members for their advice. There's a comprehensive listing up on AutoTrader, which is linked below. In...

Thanks for the ongoing help and ideas, all. I've tried both CarWow and Motorway previously when I sold my Yaris GRMN, and found them both long-winded and unreasonably pessimistic in their values (yeah, I do know a dealer needs to make a profit). I went with Cazoo back then, and they were so...

Genuinely really helpful replies, thanks a million. I'd hoped the rarity (and now unavailability) of the colour would help, and the future value of that easily-maintained Toyota 10-year warranty is a great selling point. Thanks again.

A change of work situation means I am looking to sell my beloved GR. I'd like to harvest data from the Zoo hive mind (or 'ask your opinions') on what it's worth. It's a year and two weeks old, had its first service last week and has done just under 5,500 miles. It's in arguably the best colour...

What did I do with my GR86 today? Left it safe at home, and took the CR-V instead!

Only just spotted this thread, and think your solution is a little bit of very elegant genius, @PVGR! Cash on the way now - many thanks!

Thanks all, for the reassuring replies. 👍

I had a long, quick run from Newcastle to Huddersfield this afternoon, and wondered if the indicated temperatures for oil and water struck anyone else as a bit high? It was all A1 and M62, and fairly clear, so - unless you're Babylon - I was sitting at an indicated 77mph for roughly two hours...

Thanks, man - I'm really pleased with it. The sensors are an utter Godsend - I reverse in at home, and have a tight, unlit parking space with a low wall at the back. The reverse camera is actually surprisingly good, but the sensors really do let me be way more precise, especially if it's...

Thanks to a delayed delivery from Toyota (what, really? 😂), I missed my originally-planned detailer 'slot', so had to wait five weeks for another convenient appointment to have it ceramic coated. I'd put 1,000 miles on it by then (including two unavoidable 250-mile motorway trips with work) so...

Interesting stuff - I'll definitely give that a try this evening. Nice find - cheers!

It's a relief to find that it isn't just me that finds it a challenge to make smooth progress for the first half-minute. In the initial 30 metres from my house, I have two very tight turns, both on steep inclines (probably both 1 in 5s, in old money), coupled with a fairly loose and bumpy road...

Big thanks to you, and to @PaulT, for the clear responses. Told me just what I needed to know. 👍

I don't usually think of myself as a total idiot, but I'm struggling to decipher the manual's table that shows me which driver aids are on/off according to which of the two buttons I've pressed, and for how long. Can anyone offer a description in plain English of what impact each button has on...

No, I definitely haven't taken my beloved 86 out today! Little bit of snow overnight here in West Yorkshire, to say the least!

Now I've had mine out in the daylight, I'm sharing a couple of obligatory pics. As requested, RRG removed the wraps but didn't wash it. My detailer asked me to leave it untouched - I can rinse and snow foam it, but just not have any mitt/brush/sponge contact for four weeks until it's in for...
