I realised my original plugs were missing a few weeks after getting my car & seeing a post on the other forum. I got them replaced when I had a 1k mile oil change & have had no issues since. Did your ones drop out again & what are the replacement ones on the left, are they for another car?

I had the plugs in from new, remembered to check when I took delivery. Took it for the 6k service and one had gone missing, I later found it had been pushed inside the car. They are a bit soft, not sure whether maybe a pressure washer pushed it inside? No idea how long I’d been driving round in the rain like that!
Not sure which car they are from, it was a post on here somewhere I saw them mentioned as improved replacements. The original ones are listed as the same as a C-HR interior blanking plug so seem to be multi-purpose, rather than specifically designed for the exterior of the GR:
The new ones have a much wider overlap with the body which should stop them pushing in, and they click and grip into place.

Not that exciting but got my 12 month service done. Spent the extra cash & had all the fluids replaced & had the radar recall done at the same time.
Met a fellow GR owner at RRG Macclesfield (Matthew from Leeds with his pearl white GR) & we had a good chin wag

Handbrake turn.
The handbrake may be rubbish at holding a car when it's stopped, but it does a good job of stopping the back wheels when it's rolling.
I really need to work at un-learning dipping the clutch at the same time. Muscle memory I guess.
Or, of course, simply do 3 point turns.

How fast does MyT say you went?
Likely faster than my dawdling
At vmax it likely claims it's a Veyron beater!
Ah, sorry, it's on the driving analytics tab (then page 2 of 2) when you log in on the Toyota web pages.
As you'll discover it doesn't know the difference between kph and mph
It's a web site error rather than a GPS glitch as it should read 147 kph

It'll come. We've all waited, even the early collectors.
