  1. https://www.ebay.co.uk/sch/i.html?_nkw=fog light&campid=5338181132&customid=2518X1570512X40651e66f5166e91f75c7870e1cd262e&mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&subId2=15&toolid=10001
  2. There should be a rear fog light, right? Beloved vintage bus šŸ˜
  3. All seems good, but has anybody used the 10 day money back guarantee? Companies typically begin to change their tone at this point.
  4. Thank you. Is the sole method to eliminate that possibility to replace it?
  5. I do perceive smoke, but it appears ordinary to me. Nothing superfluous? I have not rescanned it for codes. If the coolant were at full capacity, the tank would likely be entirely depleted by approximately one month after covering around 150 miles.
  6. I possess a 330D M Sport E90 and believe I have maintained it rather diligently. It has 140,000 miles and has undergone numerous preventative maintenance procedures in recent years. I observed a decrease in my engine coolant level, although there were no discernible leaks on the driveway. I had it pressure tested, and they verified that there were no exterior leaks. I presume this likely indicates a head gasket issue. If that is the case, then I am profoundly disheartened! What actions may I undertake to verify whether it is the head gasket?
  7. Recently replaced the 12v battery on my device without seeing any issues during disconnection. I had to re-enter my phone and Toyota account information on the main page, but the vehicle retained most other settings.
  8. I encountered the identical issue with my ALFA 156 V6 Veloce 2.5 Busso. It required some time for me to comprehend it. Under typical driving conditions and loads, it functioned adequately; but, at elevated RPMs and loads, when attempting to circulate the water more rapidly, it overheated until I reduced speed, contrary to expectations given the airflow through the radiator at high speeds. The issue was identified as the water pump. The plastic impeller of the water pump was slipping on the shaft under load, obstructing the water flow. Upon replacing the pump, I was able to manipulate the impeller on the shaft using merely firm finger pressure. It appears to be a prevalent problem, as the new ALFA authentic replacement pump had a metal impeller affixed to the shaft by soldering. While it may not apply to your situation, I felt compelled to mention it because of the same symptoms. Have you attempted to bleed it to ascertain the presence of an airlock? Have you disassembled any components of the cooling system recently?
  9. I possess the PHEV and regret not selecting the inline 6 instead. I have encountered no problems, except for a recall, but I do not consider the fuel efficiency to justify the trade-off regarding price and resale value. Prior to the expiration of the tax advantage, they offered absurd lease options for anyone wishing to experience the product before making a purchase. I am pleased to be merely leasing my. I appreciate the vehicle but would prefer to forgo the powerplant.
  10. Indeed, that is my apprehension. I am unaware of what they towed. If they were towing an inappropriate load, it could have exerted additional strain on the gearbox. Do you believe that the fluid change is warranted?
  11. I understand. I am apprehensive about potential issues arising later, similar to my previous vehicle, however I have received positive feedback regarding the ECVT. I observe others suggesting that the fluid ought to be replaced, leaving me uncertain on the appropriate course of action. My primary worry is that I was unaware, until I arrived at the store to purchase the vehicle, that it was equipped with a tow bar. This suggests that the car may have been utilised for towing a caravan at some point, which I recognise is not optimal for this particular model. Consequently, I felt there was an increased justification for changing the fluid. You are correct; the Uber and taxi services in my vicinity predominantly utilise Toyota vehicles. I may endeavour to alleviate my concerns and derive greater enjoyment from the car. I am pleased with my final decision to get this car. I was unprepared for the elevated revolutions produced by the hybrid, as I have never owned one before. Aside from that, I adore the vehicle.
  12. Greetings everyone, I have lately purchased a CHR. This is kind of a narrative, but I believe it is important to elucidate my circumstances. I transitioned from a Mercedes to a C-HR, where the gearbox was designated as "sealed for life." Upon consulting Mercedes regarding fluid replacement at 85,000 miles, I was informed that it was effectively sealed for life, and changing it may potentially lead to complications. We will not alter anything and recommend that you refrain from making any modifications as well. If the gearbox malfunctions, it will not be due to the fluid not being replaced. Shortly thereafter, after 7,000 miles, I began to observe gear slippage and irregular gear transitions. I conversed with several individuals, and it became evident that despite the makers' claim of "sealed for life," one must disregard this assertion and nonetheless perform replacements; had this been done, it is likely that the current issue would not exist. The fluid has deteriorated and adversely affected the internal materials, thus replacing the fluid at this stage—while symptoms are evident—has a 30% likelihood of exacerbating the situation. Possibly engaging the gearbox into limp mode. Nevertheless, even if it addresses the sliding issue, it is quite probable that it will recur within one to two years. Particularly if yours is experiencing tremors, like mine did intermittently. Although infrequent, it did occur. I now possess a 2018 C-HR and am thoroughly enjoying it! To save a recurrence of history, I reached out to Day One today, and, disappointingly, they are reiterating the same information. The fluid will not be changed as it is designed to remain sealed for life. I contested this and expressed my desire to pay for a modification, despite its permanent sealing due to the aforementioned issue and my wish to prevent recurrence. May I request a modification? Their reply was: Good morning, I appreciate your reply. I have consulted with our service team regarding this matter, and they have indicated that it is not within their capabilities to execute. This is a sealed unit, preventing access for execution of this task. Please inform me if there is anything further with which I can assist you. I find myself in a predicament once more. I have extensively researched these particular gearboxes and 'ECVT'; yet, it appears that there remains fluid within this "sealed" unit, leaving me uncertain about the next steps. I lack the technical aptitude to undertake this task alone, particularly one as critical as the gearbox. I have a tenuous faith in mechanics, as they might commit errors that may not become apparent until three months later, leading to a situation where they assert, "It cannot be a result of our work, or it would have manifested immediately." I am enquiring about the activities of others. The vehicle has reached 59,000 miles. Is there a reputable ECVT/CVT Toyota specialist in the Kent area who is proficient in performing fluid changes correctly? Thank you for your perseverance in reading this narrative of a post. Amusing.
  13. I was not enquiring primarily about the premium versus normal distinction; rather, I was curious if you are utilising unleaded 88/E15 fuel. I suggest tactfully introducing the concept of the significant recall over a defective fuel tank sending unit to the dealer and observing the direction of the ensuing dialogue.
