    Activity button changed

    The Activity button at top and bottom of page used to link to unread content but changed to All Activity. Is this something I've changed by mistake or a policy change. Makes it very unfriendly, esp. on phone.

    Grover's ginger jap

    As it's apart, I'm having new clutch and replacing spark plugs - will save labour in the long run, for either me or next owner. Trying to decide whether to keep or sell. I'll think on it for a few weeks before deciding.

    Grover's ginger jap

    Sorry, not sure how you can draw such a definitive conclusion from that. We all know people who smoke for decades with no obvious ill effects, until they die of lung cancer. Doesn't mean smoking's okay. FTR mine's been serviced on schedule with Toyota fluids. It was even at Toyota Platinum Bath on the Monday having coilpacks replaced - they gave it a Winter check including fluids. Four days later developed death rattle and went bang a few miles later.

    Engine went bang. Oops! Engine's been stripped down and main bearings went. Steven Eagell Toyota Northampton have been excellent and sorted the warranty claim - half engine being fitted, hopefully before Christmas.

    Fault codes P0351 & P0352

    Is it only (or primarily) those with maps with increased rev-limiter?

    Fault codes P0351 & P0352

    All well and good if you're adept with a spanner. Most aren't these days.
  7. Local guy on PH called petrolpat has a similar, spotless example. Love it.
  8. Alfa Tipo 33 Stradale - can't see it happening anytime soon though.

    Wiper Blades

    Odd. Mine are a little over a year old and 13,000 miles and still great. I'm pretty anal about keeping screen and blades clean though, perhaps that's the difference.

    Platinum Toyota's replaced both coil packs. Collecting it lunchtime. Under warranty again this time, but how much do we think this'll cost next time once the warranty's run out?

    Gutted header cat

    Probably not. Secondary cat should see you through. ETA - Just noticed in link they're removed that too, so you're probably right.

    Fault codes P0351 & P0352

    Mine's only 50-odd thousand but an early one - I took delivery 1 September 2012. Only other warranty issue I can remember was condensation in rear lights, so not too bad for over four years.

    Fault codes P0351 & P0352

    They suggested it may be the engine control module throwing the error, not coilpacks. Guess I'll know next week.

    Fault codes P0351 & P0352

    They say it may be engine control module and want to take a look to confirm. Booked in for Monday 28 November.

    Have you seen this: ETA - I see you have.

    Takeda afe intake

    Sorry, I wasn't clear. It's a straight swap for the OEM unit - i.e. same fittings and fasteners?

    GT86 Cracked Windscreen

    Not heard of this before. I'm north of 50,000 miles and no issue. ETA. *Touches wood*

    High pitched whine when idling

    That's the noise I have - not often, but sometimes. Never taken it in as I'm pretty sure that it'll behave when I get there.

    High pitched whine when idling

    Is this the infamous chirp? I think I may get it, but it's never been a big issue for me. More character building.

    Help! Can't get V-Power...

    ECU will soon adjust itself. I wouldn't sweat it.

    Tyre pressures - fully laden?

    Are you running on tyres with a stiffer sidewall then? Ooer missus!

    Wheels

    Don't know about that style, but I bought my OZ from Rimstyle. Pleasure to deal with.

    DAB Aerial

    FYI After speaking with a car audio specialist, he asked if I have a dashcam fitted, which I have. He suggested that the power cable for the dashcam may interfere with the windscreen aerial - and he was right. Reception is much better with the dashcam powered off. So much better I could probably live with it as-is now - but I'm going to upgrade to a proper aerial anyway as I don't like the cheapo shark fin I have currently.

    DAB Aerial

    I've fitted a nice new head unit but the stick on aerial in the windscreen is a bit pants. Any recommendations for a DAB aerial please? I may be making this up, but did I see somewhere that a mag-mount aerial inverted in the boot is a 'stealth' option?
