How much is this car?

If you leave it on trickle charge all the time while we have this virus am sure it will start no problem

Seems odd started then cannot now do so would it be worth disconnecting leaving fir few minutes then reattaching lead and charging again and see if then is ok if get working again would take to local car shop or garage and get them to check battery and if faulty contact manufacturer of the battery if still under warranty

The adapter lead will only work if it is a ctek 5.0 charger I think. It is available on amazon. I goes from battery outside the bonnet and is permanently attached to battery terminals and is a little plug that I leave sitting on the area just below windscreen outside the bonnet. It is not obtrusive .I can recommend this ctek 5.0 charger available on amazon so search for the attachment which is cheap and also the charger

Hi am glad you finally got into car. as I said it is a sudden freeing although i never had need to resort to allen key to aid movement although it would probably have helped me.I said before I got a CTEK charger along with this from amazon. well worth it as now can charge car anytime without need to get into car as this lead is always attached and jus need plug in to CTEK 5.0 charge unit. if your car is still under warranty I would get in contact with toyota head office- hopefully they can still reply and tell them failed battery and hopefully gain a second one replaced under warranty. but if not get it checked out by local garage and if faulty there is usually a 3 ,4 or even 5 year warranty from the battery manufacturers and contact them to get their response. -worth doing a check on battery even if seems to be holding charge CTEK Indicator eyelet M8: practical LED indicator for immediate indication of battery charge levels by CTEK

As a last resort you may find one of your local small garages may come -assuming still working as believe some are but all main dealers closed and for a price of course . Could try with mole grips or similar to hold key but think you could end up using too much force. Hopefully leaving WD40 overnight in lock will help- go out and add some more! Also as a final try see if after leaving for overnight try the fob again in case there is just enough power left in battery

I mean wiggle very very small amount clockwise then anti-clockwise you hardly think it’s worth it but it then came free or at least did for me . Gentle rocking as fast as you can but not forceful put plenty of wd40 down before you start . Your problem seems harder than mine but I’d did come free and when it did it was sudden not sure can give any more help am afraid . Warm the key first? Or gently warm wd40 but take care don’t want to set it alight. Do not want to heat bodywork as may damage paintwork. Call out aa or rac? Assuming they are still working phone tonight and hope they can come by tomorrow that’s my only other suggestion although might find they cannot get open either. Do not use you much force as if break key in lock would make it even harder to get into. Don't know any burglars!!! They would get in no problem

I found that you just have to keep persevering lubricate by squirting wd40 into lock by letting it dribble down from the key and then keep on wiggling key fractionally clockwise and anti-clockwise it may take 15 or twenty minutes and you think you are getting nowhere but then it suddenly releases. It’s very odd but do not stop keep on trying as described and am sure it will unlock then charge car. i have a ctek 5.0 trickle charger along with attached cable available as accessory that Is permanently connect to battery and the end is sat outside bonnet next to glass and then no need to get into car if battery fails let us know how you get on

Thanks for info and hope your battery is ok dealer should change to 65 amp if you have a problem

What made them think it was power drain from the alarm i have been trying to find out why battery failing and wondered about power drain from somewhere did they measure the alarm outputs let me know outcome

Keep on turning moving gently for ten minutes or so and it should work. I had this happen and it will suddenly free. Seems strange but it can take this long continuously moving ever slow slightly left and right then if under warranty get free replacement battery preferably 68ah or higher

Hi Move the key in the lock turning it few mm a bit at a time for around 10 minutes continuously and it will probably then suddenly turn and open at least thats what happenened to me. it seems very strange you think nothing is happening but then it suddenly works . keep on trying but careful so as not to bust so even almost nothing turning keep on trying clockwise and anti clockwise back and forth and see what happnes after 10 minutes

My giallo is number 86! So am very happy to have the last one. i have since found out that I will need to purchase if want over roof so probably not bother as it was only if I should have got it then I would have for a time when might want them

Hi I have gt86 giallo and wonder should I have been given the decals for over bonnet etc when purchased as believe they are free? Any comments welcome

I would ask them to replace under warranty and state that you consider battery “not fit for purpose “ as can be demonstrated by number of replacements carried out and indicated on the web forums. They can only say no

Where in the rear is the camera fitted and where more importantly is the wiring into the car? Pictures would be great to see as considering this option to my giallo

I would try face wet wipes as have used them in the past .when I used for first time did not believe they would work,cannot recall make of wipes boots perhaps. They certainly should not be too harsh to at least see if works. Hope this helps you

Why not send email to head office and ask about warranty situation if take to independent. They can only say no. Really nothing to lose. I use RRG Macclesfield but they are only half a mile away so am lucky with that for my gt86 giallo

I had problem getting in to car when battery died . Fob would not work and so I resorted to using key which as you know is very small . It has very little movement and after searching on web to other gt86 forums found info that it takes about 10 minutes wiggling to get the door to open using the key so I went back to car and kept moving it as much as I could without much pressure and low and behold after about 10 minutes the lock suddenly opened. Do not understand why this happens but is worth remembering. I was all prepared to leave it to breakdown service ,who ,I then had to get out anyway as car would not start and this despite car battery changed less than year previously from the Panasonic 48amp to the toyota 64amp. The battery checked out ok and am unsure about the car reliability especially in colder conditions
