Mine came packaged individually as per the picture in post #42

I wasn't there when they did the work. The report afterwards was that there was little difference, but since I’d bought 4 washers they might as well use them as give me back spares that would be more awkward to install after they’d done the sound proofing. To be honest, I’d only bought 4 as a...

Problem solved. Having read something on the US(?) site about using two washers on each side the audio chaps tried it with one and two per side and ended up going with two to totally eliminate the clicking. With a bit of soundproofing added, the doors almost feel like they belong to a premium...

Shouldn’t be much longer - I ordered some via my local Toyota dealer in mid-late August and they arrived less than three weeks later. I would’ve joined the group buy but needed them in advance of some audio work on Wed 24th and didn’t want to take the risk - thought it made sense to get the...

I had exactly the same thing just after I first collected the car in December 2022. I eventually found the same thing about sticking my finger in the trim between the vent and the A-pillar, which identified the source after quite a while of thinking the vent was the cause, and the proposed...

I put Bosch Aerotwin (AR22U/AR20U) on mine at 20000 miles, as I did regularly on my GT86 beforehand. Easy to fit, even for someone as technically incompetent as me, and much better than OEM (if arguably not as neat looking). They must sit lower on the screen than on the GT86 though, as...

Are you sure it’s the vent? I had the same sort of creak when I first bought the car and suspected it was the vent for a long time - it turned out it was the A-pillar (the creaking stopped if I jammed a finger in there!). I’ve got the same clicking from the driver’s window, but nothing from...

As I stated, there was no requirement in my case to submit a receipt to Toyota for their ‘goodwill contribution’ - they offered the full amount (after I’d queried why there had been no response after a month other than an out-of-office reply to my initial email) should I wish to use a...

I appear to have got very lucky in getting the £500 payout without the requirement to provide a receipt for whatever solution I chose (possibly my naive email expressing surprise at the lack of an alarm as specified helped?). As it happens, even before realising anything about there not being...

Using a Faraday pouch is fine, but ‘switching off’ the key signal is also worthwhile. When pressing the ‘lock’ key and holding down, pressing the ‘open’ key twice at the same time switches the signal off, to the point of being unable to open the car with key in hand without pressing ‘open’...

I sat in stationary traffic on the M18 for two hours yesterday afternoon; still not entirely sure why (Police “concern for safety” is a bit vague, but the most detail available at this point…) Other people did this...

I had the same message about a six monthly service in the summer. Queried it when booking in, and got a call later to say they’d honour the appointment and do a complimentary ‘summer check’ instead, which was apparently part of the 5 year service plan I’d signed up to.

My head unit had been dropping out occasionally and messages such as “your device cannot be recognised” or comments about needing to sync the phone time were appearing when using wired Android Auto; frustratingly this continued after installing a Carsifi unit a fortnight ago, though it always...

215/40R18 Sorry; should’ve either put that in the ad or taken a photo that showed it!

£500 ono, buyer collects, South Yorkshire area Delivery mileage only (12 miles); swapped for Cross Climates prior to delivery of GR86 in the winter.

Not sure whether the age of the car makes a significant difference, but last year my 10yo GT86 was £250 to insure; when the GR86 arrived I paid an extra £100 for the remainder of the year, equating to £410 annually (I'm mid/late 50s). Renewal next month subject to the seemingly universal...

Nod of appreciation and thumbs up from an East Asian lad in a Type R as his mate slowed then sped past on the M180 eastbound near the highly lucrative speed trap just before the River Trent. Thankfully for them no police van there today.. (beware though if a matchday at Grimsby or Scunthorpe...

More Supra confusion as I parked up to visit my Mum at her nursing home. Bloke who works there (former Celica 5th gen owner, as it turned out) saw the car, speculated about how fast it must be and commented that he thought I must be his new boss with a car like that! I explained what it was...

I rang to cancel earlier and was told that as I had a service plan, I could have a free ‘summer health check’ instead free of charge instead at the time I’d booked. Apparently this is a standard feature of service plans (see attachment), though I’m not completely sure whether this is a Burrows...

I had the same from my dealer; when I phoned to query I was told it was for a 6 month health check. This hadn’t been mentioned when I booked my service plan, but despite expressing surprise I booked it in for June. Today I’ve checked it out, and this only applies to the GR Yaris (see screenshot...
