GR86 What did you do with your GR86 today

Trip to the dealer today. Got the recall done, keyless enabled to open both doors and remote window unlocking enabled.

Been thinking more and more about exhausts. Tempted to just get an axle back for now for a bit more noise, then wait to see what else gets developed for a full system which I'll get with a map once out of warranty.

Maybe me, have you seen their ridiculous service pricing?

I have but... even with the £400 a year pricing the warranty is worth it. I think I'm just going to view it as £100 warranty and £300 service. Shit but, that's how it is. Funny enough I just made a topic on this!

GR86 - Service Plan Cost Vs Individual Services?

I've been quoted 3 years service + MOT For £1296 or £36 Per month... What have you been offered? This seems a lot... an average of £400 per year? Are services really that expensive? First service is oil and filter.... how is that more than £150-200 (including stealer charges) and so is...

I'm another that has hardly done any miles - only 200 after 3 week of ownership.

Maybe I'm being precious but this car won't be a daily driver so I'm not taking it out on its first long journeys in sub-zero temperatures and salty roads. I've seen the damage that salty roads can do and Japanese cars (well MX5s at least) seem to suffer more than most.

I'd also like to know what the recall is for. This seems to have passed me by.

The recall is for enabling the DCM (Data Communicaton System), apparently used to make an emergency call in the event of an accident and is likely to be a general data logger on the car.

They'll wiggle out of all sorts if it's anything like other manufacturers. Then every year costs will go up to the point it's not worth going to them. After 3 yrs I can service myself for £65. Need to think about it
 
I turned off my seat belt chime. Was annoying at work have to get out to open gate then ding ding ding while finding a place to park

How do you do this? I hate bongs and warning sounds.
I KNOW if the seatbelt isnt on, or I've opened the door with the ignition on, or left lights on, etc etc!
 
Got a letter from Toyota today
