ToyotaManuals.com.au is a clunky, quite useless site that requires you to have a PC from the 90's for access (hello, SVG viewer??)
Not only that but when I asked support for help accessing the workshop manula for the car I purchased, this was the reply:

"Some Toyota Repair Manuals contain information regarding both internal combustion engines (ICE) as well as Hybrid or Electric Vehicle powertrains. Under the new ‘Motor Vehicle Service and Repair Information Sharing Scheme’ (effective 1st July 2022), information relating to Hybrid or Electric Vehicle powertrains is considered 'safety information' and access must be restricted."

What a joke. Does anyone have a copy of the workshop manual?

Cheers,
Andy

Not sure if this is the best place to ask, but might as well.

Anybody in the know can shed a light on what resources we have? I had a quick look at https://www.toyota-tech.eu and clunky interface aside and difficult PDF printing, that seem to be worth the while. Subscription for an hour is under €5 with VAT. Almost worth it to grab the build sheet for your VIN?

Now are other Toyota sites available? Would one find an EU VIN on say a US site or in AU? What about an official online parts catalogue?

Sorry for the slight thread hijack and the noob questions. My first Toyota in the digital age ;).

Good idea... maybe I'll try log into EU through a VPN and see what I can access. Such a shite system. Ridiculous.

Can't hurt to try. And let us know what you can see if you have a minute. I'll try similar on the AU site just for giggles.

Thanks P@shencia! Found it and *very* useful. Do you or anyone else know the source of the catalogue? With previous VAG and Benz cars I really liked how you could get an online parts catalogue (for a small sub fee). Helps when parts get updated etc.

I used the European version. The Australian version I couldn’t use either. I took photos of my computer screen to save the information. Not the best but it was all I could do in 3 hours of access

I am still confused why they won't give you a GR Yaris manual, it's not electric or hybrid? Or have they combined the standard Yaris and GR in the same manual?

Exactly..... Too dangerous to give me information about an electric car, that I don't own.
