    GR86 "That's a fresh whip bruv"; or the Toyota GR86 collated feedback thread

    just had a cheeky thumbs up from a chap in a white GR Yaris coming the other way on a spirited drive on the back roads. i must admit i did have to squint to see if it was a GR when i first saw it as they do all look the same to me, the thumbs up was the biggest clue. (sorry to GR yaris owners if...

    GR86 Who will be getting an alarm fitted?

    exactly. If they have to take the car apart to fit it then although the email reads as 'the alarm' not being covered , i'm not sure i'd trust them with warranty claim if something did happen to a different part of the car. Same as you , i'm not either .

    i'm not going to do it . not fair on the vendor of the alarm knowing if you might not actually go ahead with it. if we get it , we get it . Im not that bothered.

    GR86 Who will be getting an alarm fitted?

    Unfortunately, we do not have a Toyota genuine accessory/alarm which can be fitted to the GR86, and our approved centres would not be able to fit a non-genuine part. We are unable to advise or recommend a third-party company which can install this item for you. Please note any third-party...

    also had my response from Toyota - obv now with the number of us emailing they have now the generic response of basically - 'no alarm, 3rd party, not covered by warranty, provide invoice and they will pay out' . They have stopped the £500 payment so we'll likely all have to go through ombudsman...

    GR86 Who will be getting an alarm fitted?

    Just to provide some extra info on this you maybe unaware of. There is currently a FB post where a buyer has successfully received £500 from Toyota due to the missing alarm (Ombudsman). Quite a few buyers have now emailed Toyota online and the new response from them is that they will review...
