    It's absolutely fine, using the bolt that goes through the rear seat belt reel.

    Welcome aboard. Not many of the Primo about. I knew Helen (Angelina) would be pleased!
  5. They have to, it's Toyota. Maybe book a few days off and watch them do it?
  6. Yeah sorry getting you confused with someone else. It's a Toyota recall, they have to fit OEM parts. Do what you want I guess.
  7. A years warranty for the recall and a years warranty anyway on any parts fitted. Though obviously his boot problem isn't under warranty, though they can at least have a look and see what is going on and give a cost to fix.
  8. He's got a TRD, so it is 2013, built in 2012 or early 2013, so it will definitely fall within the recall range.
  9. It's a Toyota dealer they will use genuine parts and OEM oil. I'm not sure where you get this notion that they will put cheap parts in? One a week is what most dealers are doing, it's quite enough with the other service work they have to do.

    Optimism

    Pretty much the same as a top spec non yellow car. I.e., a car with the leather/heated seats option. Around £27.5K.
  11. Edited for you, but as others have said you can do it yourself. Stuck it at the same price you have on the other forum.
  12. Not meaning to be pedantic, but the tax won't transfer. You'll be refunded on complete months remaining, but the new owner will have to tax the car as soon as ownership transfers.
  13. Great pics as always, Will. Thanks for sharing.

  15. You seem to have priced them at £299 on the OC. Change your price to £299, or I will remove your post. https://www.gt86ownersclub.co.uk/forum/62-sale-gt86-brz-parts-upgrades/17277-toyota-gt86-subaru-brz-17-inch-alloys-michelin-tyres.html Just posted this up so members don't get misled, not that you've got a chance in hell of selling them at that price anyway.

    The standard warranty replacement for those of us that did is 65Ah.

    Welcome. If the battery is a black top, white body then it will be the 45Ah one. It should say it on it though. Also check your VIN on the Toyota recall checker to see if you're affected by the valve spring recall.

    I've just got back from RRG and had a good old natter about the recall. Richard said that he is booked till November and is not taking any more bookings yet, but has a waiting list that you can be added to. There is no cut off date to get the recall done by, there won't be as there will always be cars that years down the line will not have had it for one reason or another. The problem for RRG is that, if say they do the recall on a car which will likely be modded all the way from say Essex or something and there is a problem post recall, how will it be recovered and all that. It makes it quite complicated. Obviously he has had to prioritise customers who bought their car from RRG and those that are regular customers for service. That alone has taken the list to November! For those with stock cars the advice is, use your local dealer.

    Big brake kit time?

    I've had my AP four pots on with Reyland grooved discs and DS2500 pads on for over a year and a half now. Done nearly 30K miles on them, about five or six track days, about ten sprints. The pads still have a good amount of meat on them and the discs look hardly worn. Amazing really. Feels like they'll last forever, but reckon I'll get another 10K miles out of them pretty easily. I should add though that my pads tend to last a lot longer than average as I am pretty easy on the brakes. Obviously on track I do use them to their full capacity, especially so on sprints where every hundredth of a second counts, so there's no early braking at all. On the road I brake as little as possible, which probably helps me get great mileage out of them. On stock pads and discs I would get around 37K miles out of them.

    If this dealer isn't confident in doing the work, then it may get referred to RRG Macc' but they have to then agree to do it. I'm fairly sure they will. There is a fairly long wait though because everyone wants to go to RRG Macc', so it will be dealt with on an individual basis. I'm back to RRG Macc' this morning to pick my car up after a fueling issue yesterday, so will catch up with Richard there this morning and see where they are up to with the recall waiting list.

    Bonnet struts / bonnet alarm

    The alarm is a UK fitment installed when the cars arrive at Portbury Docks, so other markets will not have it.
  23. I've done over 7000 miles now with no issues. Odometer is halfway through 133K miles.
  24. If you don't drive your car much get a trickle charger. Also try giving your battery a proper recharge.
  25. I had a problem with an oil control valve causing the car to stall on occasion and making it sound like a Subaru, but not in a good way below 3K rpm. That threw up an error code relating to cam timing/sensor. It also affected the idle, hence the stalling issue. That was done under warranty post recall, it's a really easy fix. So yes they should fix it.
