    What sort of MPG are you seeing now?
  2. Mine didn't get regassed. It had no gas in it before the recall so they refused to do it for free.

    Worst Car Ever Driven

    Dacia Duster... I once got one as a hire car. If you ever want the feeling of being completely disconnected from the road then get one of these. I never understood what they're actually for. It takes up an entire car park, too big for comfortable city driving, the interior is made of papier mache, and a 3 cylinder engine useless at anything sporty or off road.
  4. It's corroded since breaking. It was clean when it first happened I just hadn't got round to taking a pic of it and posting. When I first looked at it, the top of the nut without the cap was pretty flush with the stud and there was no way I could remove it with hand tools. I suspect that some grit or water/oil got in between the stud and the cap when the tyres were changed. Coupled with the over tightening is what made it pop.
  5. Everything on my car is stock and oem. The only time I've not used Toyota has been for new tyres which is where I've had issues. The car did have a previous owner but I checked stud lengths were correct when the first one was stripped and had to get a new one.
  6. Sorry Church, I should clarify. These were tyre garages and not official Toyota dealerships..
  7. Apparently it was well over tightened and caused the head to pop off. It took Toyota a while to get it off! This is the second issue I've had with garages gunning wheel nuts on. The fist time (different garage) they didn't tread it properly and chewed the whole stud up. Has anyone else experienced this?

    GT86 AVO Turbo

    Would love the Tom's if youre willing to split them?
  9. Thanks for the advice, I thought that would be the case. I'm still not sold on the V2's 🤔 I guess I'll have to hunt around a bit for second hand.
  10. Are these still knocking about? I'd wouldn't mind getting my hands on some. Anyone have a link or some for sale?

    Oxygen Sensors

    So my number two oxygen sensor has packed up. I've been quoted £250 by toyota for a new one. Is this right or is someone pulling my leg? TIA
  12. Dropped mine off on Friday. Even the mechanic had a little chuckle while handing me the keys to this beast..
  13. Had the same issue with my local (Westover Salisbury) rang them twice now.. "oh yeah yeah we'll give you a call back when someone's available to talk to you about it"

    Where Did You Buy?

    Got mine from Steven Eagell Aylesbury. Think it was on 21k miles. They replaced the front bumper for me as the previous owner dished it on the kerbs...

    Do you still have the window switches from the drivers door or did you get rid of the lot??
