GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

Be thankful it wasn’t a Porsche - the combined Cat/GPF has been declared a ‘wear and tear’ filter and is no longer covered under Warranty. I’m reading about multiple 718 owners being billed £7k - £10k for new parts!

And the real kicker here is that it doesn’t solve the problem and owners are back where they started after a short time.

Grateful to have my car back today and more grateful still for having warranty cover. (Replacement of the catalyst £3192 !!)

That is an insane amount of money. You could get the best quality aftermarket catted manifold and have it heatshielded in inconel and installed for less than that.

Window crack has been fixed by fitting a washer, cold weather wheels fitted, and my Autel TPMS tool arrived so I've added the sensors in as a second set too.
 
Summer wheels swapped out this lunchtime by my local trusted tyre place - FOC

Bought a new camera today, so used the GR as a test subject for the first few shots.

My old camera (Canon 450D DSLR) went missing from my hold luggage one the way home from South Africa earlier this year. I'd been meaning to upgrade it anyway, but it was still a PITA as I lost the SD card within it. But the new one (Canon R7, mirrorless) is a noticeable improvement in image quality. Pleased. Will make sure to bring it with me for any sunrise drives :)

EML came on but there was no physical sign of fault anywhere, car running flawless, so they determined it must be the oxygen sensor, they replaced that and a week later the EML reappeared. Back in and they said it must be an internal fault with the catalyst. Replacement approved by Toyota and I got car back today.

For anyone coming across this issue in future/online search, Error code was;
P0420 (Catalyst System Efficiency Below Threshold Bank 1)

Oh!
I’m not sure if it was the first sensor or the second that they replaced however it clearly wasn’t what was required. Nor does it seem to have required a full catalyst replacement, because the EML is back with the same fault code 🤦‍♂️

Oh FFS! That’s annoying. I can’t imagine it’s an air filter problem or dirty fuel, so I wonder if there is a leak in the system somewhere or a crack in the manifold? I’d be tempted to reset the code with an OBD tool, throw in some octane booster/fuel cleaner and give the car an ‘enthusiastic’ drive in the first instance.
Here’s hoping Toyota will sort it out properly next time 🤞🏻
 
Have just emailed the dealer I use for servicing to ask if the rear diff oil can be changed on my 3rd year/30k service in January. Hoping this doesn't end up being too much of a faff.

No mention of the diff oil on the 2nd year service invoice so can only assume it wasn't done. Anyone have an example of what the diff oil does look like on the service invoice, please?

Edit: this is what my second year invoice looks like:

Nothing to add, but from the price, that looks very light. 2nd year service is a fixed £500-odd job and there is no mention of the diff oil on that invoice.

I had a discount from the Toyota Owner’s Club, and this was fixed at the previous year’s pricing due to when I’d booked it.

Not sure how it works with the discount as it doesn’t look like one is applied in the final calculation, but rather the cost of the items is adjusted to get to the figure they want?
