Welcome from another Surrey 86 owner, enjoy

65 Carver, but I like the sound of 50ish 😊

No worries 👍

😁👍

After having some ar$hole scrape mine in a car park, I contacted my Smart insurance, and they contacted a company called "Shine", the guy done a fantastic job on the paintwork. Definitely recommend them: https://shinerepair.com/ Kev

Finally got the car back 5th June, after a few hick-ups with parts not arriving when they should have. All works fine now and can have Air Con on with blowing hot air.I was staggered to see what they had to do on the pics they showed me of my car, Front seats out, Steering wheel off, the whole of the dash taken out to replace Heater Box and other parts. 15hrs Labour @ £100 PH Parts @ £859 Total £2359 all done under warranty. Car booked in for the Recall job on 8th July

Took it back to Dealer and booked in for Friday, apparently it's the control console that has gone on the left hand side.

Worst cars iv'e had in order, 70's & 80's: Citroen Dyane (sea sick) Austin 1100 MG Midget Jag Mk10 Best cars iv'e had: Mini Cooper 1969 Ford Cortina 2000 GXL MGB GT Ford Cortina 1600E Vauxhall Firenza 1.8 VW Beetle 1.6 (old style) And loads inbetween

Taken out radio/Sat Nav to see if any tubes/pipes are disconnected but cant see anything, so it may be other side in bulk head !!!

Thanks James, appreciate that 👍

I'm still happy with the 86, one thing is bugging me and can't seem to sort it out. even when both temp knobs are turned fully to LOW and air con on, the center (left) Air vent (louvre) is always warm !!!, whilst all the others are cold as they should be. Screen, all other vents including footwell are cool as it should be. Can't seem to work out why 😟

Thanks Knightryder, that gives me some encouragement to get one then😉

They have some nice roads for a test drive round that area as well 😉

Gray When I got mine a few weeks back from Gatwick Toyota, they had the new Red one in there, it did look a bit lighter but it was in the showroom so may be the lights above in there giving it that appearance !

Update on the DAB adapter, it's going back to Halfrouds for a refund (nothing wrong with it) but as I payed £99 for it, I saw on Fleabay this morning the exact same item for £20 (some guy had 70 odd for sale, so I ordered 2, 1 for me & 1 for my son, total £40, so in the end I get around £60 back "Which is Nice"😉
