GR86 GR86 Delivery Tracking and Collection thread

£648 for both including VAT and fitting. Was expecting more to be honest
Do you mind me asking how much Toyota are charging for the Ducktail & Mudflaps fitting?
It depends on the dealership. I was quoted over £900 for both by my dealer - Jemca Bromley. A fellow owner posted here sometime ago that he got it done for £648 from Hendy Salisbury. I told my dealer that Id be happy to get it fitted at Hendy, and they gave a revised quote of £698. I didn't fuss over extra £50. Try asking for price match in case your dealer quotes an absurd price too.
 
I have chosen my reg and will be collecting my sliver GR asap hopefully in the next week ish as I asked them not to unwrap or clean it and not to drill the plate holes.
Just got a quote for ppf also which I will be doing as soon as I can after collecting it.

Online are talking to the dealer to see who will do the PX on my GT, I expect the dealer will take it as it’s in good nick and only just gone over 10k.
 
Mine is at Toyota Leeds. Not taking delivery for 4 weeks, they are installing the Rear sensors & sorting the Doors & Windows out.
Also probably going for the Ducktail which I was quoted £350 plus install (3M)

They has just completed a 1million upgrade to the Showroom as the biggest GR dealer in the North. Very impressive.

What's needing sorting out with the doors and windows?

How long was your car in Derby? I’m trying to get a rough date for PPF.

Opening the Drivers door using the handle doesn't open the passenger door & auto windows up & down with the Fob. Both can be rectified in the menu somewhere I am reliably told.
No idea how long my car was in Derby, I went from Order processing to here in one jump. I changed my Colour so maybe I got a cancellation. The car has 5.5 miles on it.

Vantage Wakefield.

Can you ask your dealer to take photo of the menu option to fix passer door open along with driver side please? My dealer promised he'll fix it in the menu, but could not find any option to do so. It is a very annoying feature as I almost always end up needing to take the key fob out again and double click to open the other door to let my wife in.

Also interested, couldn’t find it in the menu
 
Collected mine today, 9miles on the clock and 1/4 tank…not entirely sure they filled the screen wash, will check tomo.

Was a bit underwhelming on the dealer front…salesman hadn’t handed over a GR product before but he was a nice guy so I cut him some slack. Went through the stuff on his phone, two keys and a service manual then I was on my own and free to go, took about 30mins. No cuddly toy or bamboo box…

Vehicle prep instructions followed to the tee, thankfully not cleaned because the car was quite heavily contaminated.

Haven’t managed to sort apple car play or connect to MyT yet and couldn’t see anything in the menus to configure the doors to all unlock…

Love the car, looks great and can get little one in the back and a big case on the boot.

Has anyone noticed some serious road noise from the front tyres? Maybe they just need scrubbing in but I’m tempted to get the alignment and wheel balancing checked (not by the dealer).

Also, worst plate ever! 20yrs a go I worked in Halfords…it’s not hard to line it up and trim the backing! Any recommendations for best online plate supplier?

Looking like I'm in for collection next Tuesday.

Can't believe it's been 10 months already

I've a feeling ill need to fix the number plates on myself, is that straight forward enough to do with double sided foam? Anything I need to know about that?
 
Yeah on certain roads it seems particularly loud, I noticed it on my test drive as well so assuming "they all do that, sir".

I actually noticed it in the recent top gear video as well having done quiet a bit of research now my best guess its a resonant at 220hz which is caused by the wings being aluminium panels combined with low profile tyres with 18 inch wheels. I found a lot posts about the Audi A6 having exactly the same issue. They changed to 17 inch wheels and went up a tyre wall size and it disappeared.

I got my (yet to be fitted) private plates from here (PFC), they are good quality and arrived quickly. Kudos to @doogle83 for the original recommendation on the private plate poll thread.

And we all do have the dimples. They are cute, and add character. Like Cindy Crawford's mole, or some such.
 
Where on earth is the insurance thread

Sorry mods (love you lots)

Last week insurance was about £700

Insurance now coming out at £419, or £430 with windscreen. Both with Admiral, and additionally insured for business and the wife as a named driver being the two differences.

34, 16yrs driving and 15ncd. Clean, no claims.
Wife 31.

As we are both with admiral I've got cover till Sept for £134. Not bad, but can't buy it till I have a reg.

So maybe double check the quotes you've all had? Hth

Just tried Admiral and it was £550 or so (driving over 30 yrs, 16 ncd no claims, same for wife). Looks like I'm going with Aviva as they were £100 cheaper
