They said they will contact them and made no mention of additional charges, but they have offered to fit my new clutch FoC, I will supply part. There won't be additional charges for your car being modified, don't worry. There is an agreement to fit clutches and plugs with no labour charges. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

As paying full whack for a service that others are offering so much cheaper is ridiculous. I was informed that the tools required to carry out the work are going from dealer to dealer. Not sure whether that has any truth behind it or not however. 1 Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rocket Panda 175 Report post Posted May 24, 2019 Car was finished yesterday. Fantastic service from the team at Motorline Horsham. I was very well looked after and special thanks to John for going that extra mile!! 😉 Brand new courtesy car, aircon re gas, spark plugs fitted free, spotlessly clean and car feels great = happy customer The only downside in all of this is I had to say a teary-eyed goodbye to the red beauty.............. 2 Gray and Test Drives Unlimited reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeterG 4 Report post Posted May 25, 2019 I’ve just collected my 15 Reg GT 86 (17,000 miles) from Westover Toyota Bournemouth after the recall work. I left the car for 6 days because it was easier. They gave me the impression they were trying as hard as they could to keep me happy - for example one of ‘the two GT86 specialists’ was happy to talk to me for as long as I wanted about the work involved and the training he had received specifically for the recall itself. He said they had done 8 already, there were two more to finish before mine and they were expecting about 24 more eventually. He also said he would make sure he used 5w30 oil as he remembered I had asked for this on my last service. I just paid £85 for new plugs. I had to make the decision whether to book in before, or wait till after, the track day I had booked for this Bank Holiday Monday (May 27th) at Anglesey - watch this space! I’m relieved my car is still within the manufacturer’s original warranty period and will absolutely make sure I extend this when it expires next year. Interestingly our friendly local family workshop owner/mechanic says he always takes out the dealer’s extended warranty on his own cars, when I asked him whether we should take one out on my wife’s CRV after the 3 year warranty expired. Fingers crossed for Monday’s track day when my son and brother-in-law are driving as well... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lowe 191 Report post Posted May 29, 2019 Had these pics through from the work being done yesterday. Didn't get an 86 as a courtesy car, ended up with a new Corolla. Wasn't best pleased with that but I'm surprisingly taken with it. Lane assist and active cruise is a hoot on the motorway, it pretty much does everything for you! 1 Lauren reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeterG 4 Report post Posted May 30, 2019 The track day at Anglesey was great thanks! I found it more challenging than Castle Coombe and Thruxton. The car travelled 350 miles to get there over 2 days, the only thing I noticed after the recall was that I had to top up the coolant level a couple of times, but it settled down before the track day. Three of us thrashed the car non-stop all day, nearly running out of fuel twice, so we certainly tested the recall work as far as we could. So far so good... 3 spikyone, Rocket Panda and MangoNo5 reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
