Nicebiscuit 655 Report post Posted July 20, 2015 Why though? Never had it on any other car... The stuff stinks as well for the first couple of hundred miles... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jamie_GRMN 177 Report post Posted July 20, 2015 It's corrosion protection, these cars spend 6 weeks on a boat from Japan... would rather have it stinking for 200 miles than not have it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

keelerad 256 Report post Posted July 22, 2015 And to think all those supermarkets charge a premium for Sea Salt I presume this is a Subaru thing, anyone had a new Scoobie to confirm? On 3 other new Toyotas I've never seen it Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Varelco 211 Report post Posted July 23, 2015 Going back to the subject of registration, is your car not already registered then? I'm waiting on my car for the same reason as yourself but mine was already assigned registration, apparently they do this to save time? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm waiting on my car for the same reason as yourself but mine was already assigned registration, apparently they do this to save time? Nope. Our plate is on retention but the dealer has the certificate. It's all done online so in instantly registered in a couple of minutes. 1 Varelco reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted July 26, 2015 Update. Could be at the dealers for Thursday so fingers crossed we could take delivery on Friday! We've been in France this week but I twittered (very new to that) Toyota GB about their new car parts supply issue. Instant response offering to look in to it but not sure I want to drop the dealer in anything...... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Varelco 211 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Lets hope its true! If its anything to go by mine arrived at the dealers yesterday Finally! However I won't get mine until early next week as the dealer is fitting the JBL sound pack for me as a goodwill gesture for the month delay. 2 Keethos and Squadrone Rosso reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 My wife set up the drive away Toyota insurance today. Needed by the dealer to register / tax it. They tried to sell her the full product but it's twice as much as our existing Chris Knott policy! Likewise. Return to invoice price GAP. £151 with CKI, almost £400 through the dealer:( Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted July 29, 2015 Well, what a shower Toyota are turning out to be Car is delayed again due to problem they won't disclose so that's very worrying. I was expecting efficiency from a Japanese company, especially with a £29k+ car but they're just stringing us along. Not at all happy just now! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted July 31, 2015 Ours has been dented on the door at Portbury That's why it's being delayed. Described as a small dent that will be rectified before being sent out to the dealer. We obviously won't accept it unless it's perfect. Dealer have been superb. We now have a Black Aero demo to keep until ours is ready. Very happy with how they are dealing with it. Less happy with Toyota & it seems that my Portbury fears were well founded. 2 Lauren and Keethos reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rob275 1817 Report post Posted July 31, 2015 Thats a bit of a pain! But I guess these things do happen. Hopefully they rectify it quickly, I wouldn't worry about it too much though. It's only a car 2 Keethos and Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squadrone Rosso 82 Report post Posted July 31, 2015 No such thing as only a car...lol It does need to be perfect on delivery. Fingers crossed then. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lauren 2259 Report post Posted July 31, 2015 Keyless entry is standard, shouldn't be any key flashing on the rev counter at all. That's an issue with the key fob. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
