Lauren's GT86 100K miles and onwards

Whining diff (was actually a wheel bearing)
Test Drives Unlimited replied to Lauren's topic in Mechanical
I was probably quite luckily Lauren because the guy from Toyota GB who is in charge of authorizing Warranty work was spending the day at Motorline Gatwick so apparently he looked at my car in the Service Bay when it was up in the air and immediately authorized the work on the car despite 25mm Spacers on the Hubs and Whiteline Wheel Braces on the back of the car Now the car sounds much better and they also carried out a visual check on my request, so now know what's left on the Tyre's plus they also said I need to change my Rear Pads before the next Track Day next Month Also need to sort out a New Windscreen in due course........................... -

Test Drives Unlimited replied to Lauren's topic in Mechanical
Just to give you all a quick update. My car is still at Toyota and will be ready to pick up sometime tomorrow after they given the car a test drive, as they had run out of time today !! It was the Wheel Bearings that had gone on the car and have been all replaced under Warranty. The guy from Toyota GB in charge of authorizing Warranty work was at the Dealership today -

Test Drives Unlimited replied to Lauren's topic in Mechanical
My car has covered 86,106 miles so far, although by Wednesday it will be nearer 87k on the clock. Also done 43 Track Days in the car plus a few Autosolos and Car Limit Days [emoji41] They said it was the Diff yesterday, but there again they have no experience of any other high mileage GT86's coming into the Dealership apart from mine !! I mentioned what Richard at RRG had said about your car, regarding the whining sound coming from the Diff and that your car had covered 110k....... Arron was day off yesterday which was a pity because he said to me that he suspects it is a Bearing that has gone in my car after reading the paperwork from yesterday [emoji2] Anyway the Warranty will cover the bill at least.........

Test Drives Unlimited replied to Lauren's topic in Mechanical
Well the noise came back and had the Diff Oil changed yesterday but still hasn't solved the issue !! Will let them know it's more likely a Rear Wheel Bearing that has started to wear out -

Thought my noise was the Diff but turned out to be Brake Pad ware on the Front Wheels....... Sent from my ASUS_A001 using Tapatalk -

Watches in the GT86
Test Drives Unlimited replied to Gringosteve's topic in Non GT86/BRZ General Chat
Here are some of my Watches and I have about 25 at the moment [emoji14] Two of my Watches have Real Diamonds on them, the White Ceramic Bolova has 8 Diamonds instead of Numbers on the watch face and the Gold Plated Citizen has 36 Diamonds around the Bezel with Mother of Pearl watch face [emoji41] The Two in the single Watch Boxes are my latest ones and couldn't make my mind up, so I bought both of them [emoji3] I only buy if I like the look of the watch and prefer quality over cheap looking Watches.......

The 25mm ones I have are well worth it though and changes the appearance of the car [emoji2] Sent from my ASUS_A001 using Tapatalk

New 'Online' Service History and non main dealer servicing?
Test Drives Unlimited replied to infernouk's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
I have no issues with Motorline Gatwick and also My Toyota Porta all works fine for me [emoji41] They also Stamp the Service Book too [emoji108] They are also happy to fit Aftermarket Options to my car when required [emoji2] By the way I don't go to Motorline Horsham since I told them what to do with their Dealership back in 2014 [emoji34] Sent from my ASUS_A001 using Tapatalk -

Car going in 2018 before or after it's 5th Birthday !!
Test Drives Unlimited replied to Test Drives Unlimited's topic in GT86/BRZ General Chat
So glad I didn't have to pay for the Service as it's on a Contract ! Wasn't far off £700 !!!! They have reconfigured the Smart Alarm System as possibly something to do with the time it took me to change the battery for the first time. Anyway if it happens again they will get it sorted one way on the other [emoji106] Sent from my ASUS_A001 using Tapatalk
