Interesting there's a post (6 days ago) on the facebook page of the Caterham & Lotus 7 Owners Group where a Rob Holmes is wanting to part exchange his GR Yaris for a Caterham. Maybe worth pursuing?!

Interesting you should post this as I generally do all my own home servicing. Just returned from having a service done at the local Toyota garage. Car is three years old with a mileage of c 8000 and its had its third intermediate service. This basically is a safety check, oil and filter change...

Good to see they appear to be stainless steel screws.

Fair point Gibbo, as over time consumerable items will deteriorate. Frustrating that to maintain the 12 month annual service interval I'd have to tax it to take it there (unless I trailered it!).

After three responses from TUK I finally got a meaningful (I think) answer to my initial request. I'd Sorned my car from December through to March trying to avoid the local Authority's obsession locally with salting to road at the merest hint of the temperature hovering around freezing...

Any way of having this permanently activated/enabled? I like to know the name of the band and track of songs currently playing on the radio. It's a pain to avert your eyes form the road every time to touch the 'i' on the screen to find out this information when a new song plays.

Are there any Subaru technicians on here? Unfortunately I don't get to use my 86 as regularly as I would like, consequently it lies dormant for a couple of weeks. On start up, being on choke, the engine will race to ~1200rpm then settle down to ~1000rpm and then finally after a few minutes...

Just succumbed to this on my 86. I've only done a couple of thousand miles but fear as it's close to the tyre wall it'll mean a new tyre even though there's only a slight loss of air. It makes me remember many eons ago I was chatting to the local garage owner in the village as he was taking a...

Sound advice, thanks Matt!

PS. can anyone post a photo shopped example of a black car with this done, my IT skills are too rudimentary to allow me to do this!

I'm considering running a red line linking the rear two light clusters under the boot lid. To me its crying out for a red accent here for the sake of completeness instead of the black standard piece of trim that exists. Has anyone else done it or considering doing it? If so, how do you obtain a...

Those going for the main dealer initial service, it's worth haggling . Two in my neck of the woods, Scarborough & Hull were prepared to do it for £295 instead of the listed £315. I believe £295 is the price if booked on line but the functionality wasn't working so they were prepared to do it...

The time is fast approaching for my first official service (changed oil & filter myself at ~1000 miles) Since I've only covered 4K in the first year I'm keen to leave it as late as possible but not to invalidate the warranty. Anyone know what the cut off point is when the warranty becomes...

Yes I'd definitely be interested in the non OEM guards. Please post if a UK manufacturer/supplier is located.

Yes same as you, have a 5 digit plate to install. Have ordered the Jap Spec front mount for a 330mm plate. It's the back I'm undecided on, whether to go standard length or 330mm. Has anyone pictures of a rear small plate attached?

Interesting comments - thank you. Apologies, as the post should have gone on the GR86 site.

Slightly concerned but sure Toyota have it covered. When starting from cold, the engine revs to almost 2000rpm instantaneously. My concern is poor lubrication whist the oil is still cold leading to engine wear. The engine soon settles down to a more acceptable tickover. I remember a post some...

Wow! fabulous photographs - is it the North Yorkshire Moors? If so which road in your first picture?

Maybe late to the party but one of the most comprehensive reviews of the GR86, albeit a bit repetitive in places. UK content as well.

86 FUN..... yes I requested this be entered into the DVLA Auction over 6 months ago. Have been waiting ever since in eager anticipation of the auction yesterday! Gulp....my derisory max bid was a country mile off what it sold for. Here's hoping it does appear on a GR somewhere out there!
