Is that not too much blue for you? (rhyming not intended)

Dept of Fair Trading? Don't waste your time, go to another mechanic who can offer log-book servicing and get them to have a look. Chances are they are going to be cheaper. The name UltraTune comes to mind.

It is listed on the Toyota website.

Dude. That looks bloody awful.

I may also possibly attend.

Before they slash the trade value to include their share.

As much as I didn't appreciate the sarcastic notes which flowed throughout your initial post, especially as you were asking for help. More of a harsh-truth than abusive.

oh, I see.

what does it mean?

It's not a Toyota term, it's a financing term. ALL lenders since 2003, are required to state a comparison rate to help identify the true cost of the loan (per annum). A loan isn't based solely around the interest rate alone; other factors such as the amount loaned, term, repayment frequency, interest rate and other fees/charges applied by the lender all need to be factored it. It doesn't factor in everything though (e.g - early payment fees, govt charges etc) so you should never enter into a loan solely based on the comparison rate. You shouldn't be such a smart**** RE: not knowing what a comparison rate is; if you don't know what a comparison rate is (and even too lazy too google it), you shouldn't be looking to finance your next purchase.

What warranty work have you had done?

No it isn't. What a ridiculous thought process you must possess if that is the lesson you got out of it.

In the car somewhere.

If a dealer can put it on, I'd put some money down on someone being able to read instructions being able to apply it.

Let's try to remain calm my little sweetpea. Just letting nix19 know this paint protection that is so highly regarded probably won't be available for him to use, as he is quite enthusiastic regarding his car care. He (like myself) would be interested in giving it a go at least once.

Of course you would. Part of the job requirements. Unlikely any of the stuff you've listed Pete and I can't help but fathom that it's something that isn't available to the public.

I will also be there.

You will probably do the same.

If you are replacing the rocker cover/valve cover gaskets you should replace: - air-surge tank to intake manifold gasket - throttle body gasket If you plan on keeping the car for a while longer you should also replace: - spark plugs - spark leads - spark tube gaskets Caise everytime the air surge tank comes off (unless you've done very little mileage), you should replace the air-surge tank to intake manifold gasket and TB gaskets every time.

What do you want from the tyre? Economy? Wet handling/braking? Dry handling/braking? Noise? Wheel feedback? Wear life? Hard to recommend what tyre without knowing this. Given the ones you listed, I would say it sounds like you want a performance tyre, which may fall-out of your price range. What is your price range?

Not too difficult, especiallyl if you aren't boosted.

ecu - no point doing an ecu upgrade as gains will be minimal at a rather large cost (ECU cost plus tune) exhaust - Unless you get a full system (header back) gains are low. Headers are expensive as well. intake - Cold air induction/Short Ram Intake will yield you little to no power.
