Funny intermittent smell when air con is on
gazza82 replied to matrixprotein's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
You might have bacteria building up in the a/c system. You can get a smoke device you let off in the car, with the a/c running, to neutralise it. Plus a new cabin filter. -

First a GT86 followed my BRZ from 8/9 (DAZnnnx) then I passed a TRD (xnnTRD) around 10pm near j10 heading East. Anyone here?

Toyota advertising standard specification which is not fitted to their car
gazza82 replied to Unhappy Owner's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
Happened to me years ago. Alfa 75 Limited Edition .. brochure said electric rears windows .. came with manual ... but there they covered themselves with E&OE which basically means "we could make a mistake in this and there is no come-back". My dealer had a very long standing relationship with Alfa and knew a couple of directors. Apparently they simply had lots of manual winding rear doors and so changed the production line to use them up. 75 was about to be discontinued. Didn't bother me too much as that car was a hoot to drive and I rarely had rear passengers ... the last front engined, rwd Alfa until the recent Giulia. -
Pump nozzle wouldn't fit filler. In UK diesels are larger diameter.

There is a small hole in the key through the metal part so I put a thin allen key through it to get a better grip.

Stock MY17 BRZ unit plays usb mp3 tracks. Also has aux port. Upgrade (Alpine) plays usb but aux is disabled but then you get bluetooth, DAB+ & satnav ... and yes .. expensive upgrade!

Think you need usb and audio jack with an iphone ... check the manual ... My daughter had same problem with her Bini and a cable with both connections solved it ... (then the radio packed up!)

Recall issued on cars to have valve springs replaced 2012-2013

You should still get it serviced ... that could affect the warranty. The actual recall for the work could still be months away ... -
Will: noticed you have 225/45R17 tyres. Are these on standard width rims?

Goodwood Breakfast Club - Japanese Sunday - October 7, 2018
gazza82 replied to VAD17's topic in Social Meets
BRZ is snowfoamed, polished and waxed, and hiding from rain in my garage until very early tomorrow morning. Hoping the roads dry out overnight or it will look like a field by the time I get to Goodwood :-( -
My alarm light is in top right corner of the headunit surround ... that's why I couldn't work it out ...

Not warning you your fob battery is failing? A pic of the red warning light might help

Toyota Aygo ... they forgot one cylinder ... bit of a problem on the hills of Kefalonia ... But then I should have guessed as my first hire car in California was a Geo Metro .. 3 cyl and auto ... got chased in SF by the cable car and up hill ... it was quicker than the Metro! I even turned the a/c off :-)
