Has your Satnav DVD spent pretty much it's entire life inside the head unit? I have seen cases before of a perfect new disc being scratched over time just from being in the disc mechanism under normal use. How old is the disc as well just so we can get a better idea.

I'm not sure what Toyota is like in dealing with this, but I would imagine that if the disc has never really been removed from the unit, I'm sure there could be some way into talking them into replacing it for you with minimal to no charge. If you are returning the damaged disc, you aren't essentially getting a second copy to use elsewhere.

But I've never had a factory nav unit, so I don't know whether damage like that, despite the use, is classified as normal wear and tear.

been in there since 2007 presumably. It has a fair few swirl marks and moderate scratches - nothing that looks like it hit the mechanisim, more like from polishing with a slightly scratchy cloth when it got dusty.

It works until it gets to a "scratched" part of the disc - and then the screen comes up with an error "check disc".

      ST-162 front door-glass seal availability

      Hi all, my wife has a 1988 ST-162 Celica which I have been lovingly caring for since we met 25 years ago. It is in VGC, but of late the wind noise at freeway speeds has become much louder, and with the current wet weather the front doors are leaking rain through the 'seal' point between the window glass and the door seals. The doors are hanging in the proper position and the windows do not seem to be unduly loose in their carriers. I am trying to find a new set of door seals to try to fix the problem, but have had no success anywhere. Any ideas or suggestions would be most appreciated! My mobile is 0427 478874, or reply here!

      Took the dust cover off, heart skipped a beat

      Not sure how many of the old guard are still around… fluids drained, fuel tank cleaned and lines purged, might be time to throw it into gear again.

      Need Advice please

      Suggest that you look at an online catalogue for struts/shock absorbers specifically for the Year and Model specification for your Camry. Easiest way to clean fuel injectors is to use a fuel additive together with decent quality fuel.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      For starters, you are referring to the BRAKE calipers. Missing bolts is highly probable that whoever last worked on the braking system did not properly tighten the bolts to the correct torque specification. Presumably, the brake pads were replaced approximately 6 months ago.

      What can cause 2x bolts Missing on break calipers?

      Hi All, I have sent my car to a local mechanism shop as I heard a big scary clunk noise from the front left wheel part recently. And a huge surprise came back to me is, they told me that my break calipers has two bolts missing. I don’t think it is a common problem caused by daily routine driving. So really need to find out what was happened to that 2 bolts?! How lucky I was for driving nearly half a year without a tight break!! I even have kids on my car… can’t think more now. It’s terrifying 😱

      Engine Immobiliser

      Hi Chris, I would suggest getting a code scan as well mate as it could be something locking out the security starting process, and it may make tracking it down faster for you maybe worth the fee for a mobile mechanic who can do that for you as I doubt it will be a fuse or relay causing it sounds,like something in the security side of the process. I am sure if any others have ideas they will post it, these are just guesses on my part so I hope you get it sorted fast mate KAA

      Fuse boxes info

      I have a Toyota tarago 2002 acr30. I'm trying to find out where I can get the contents list of all the items in the fuse boxes. I think it has 4. I only have one cover in the engine bay fuse box. The other three have no information anywhere. Need to know what the items ( fuses, relays ) are for ?? If anyone can help would be a nights sleep for me..

      Rav4 Nightmare After Dodgy Mechanic

      Hey everyone, hope you're doing well! Unlike me and my Toyota, which is currently in a bit of a mess, haha. I'm reaching out for some help, feeling pretty desperate, to be honest. My 2013 Rav4 2AD-FTV Turbo Diesel is on the verge of being a total loss thanks to a dodgy mechanic who really messed things up. My car's was pristine, but then it blew the head gasket. I acted quickly, called up a mechanic recommended by a friend, and he towed my car away promising to assess the damage. He later reported that the engine was still in great shape but needed the head gasket reshaped to fix the issue. Weeks turned into months, and despite numerous promises and missed deadlines, my car remained in the shop. The mechanic stopped answering my calls or messages, and when I finally tracked down my car, it was sitting outside another workshop, unable to start. Cut to now, after seeking help from a reputable diesel specialist, they've replaced seals, checked compression, swapped injectors, and pretty much everything possible. But my car still struggles to idle, and they suspect the previous mechanic may have messed up something electronic or electrical. I'm at my wit's end. No auto electrician seems willing to touch it, fearing it's a money pit with no guarantee of success. It's incredibly frustrating, especially considering I may lose the car. Any advice or suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance!
