Has any one tried to source a set of mud spats front and rear, Toyota don't list any as an accessory, would like to fit a set as Im sic of cleaning tar off the front doors due to road works,

simple, shiity battery earth , by a battery reamer tool and do both terminals

head light stalk switch contacts are burnt, usually caused by starting and stopping the engine with the lights or parkers on, strip out the combo switch and identify and clean the contacts at the back of the switch assy

I have had the same issue with my daughters Yaris, the fix is very easy, The contact in the stalk have pitting and electrical arc burn on the contact face ,if you remove the steering shrouds you will see a clear plastic cover over a line of contacts on the back face of the indicator/headlight assy. disconnect the battery for 5 min gently pry off the cover and slide 1200 wet and dry paper over the contacts while switching to parkers and headlight to force the contacts closed, make shore you do both. refit cover and shroud and reconnect battery and test. I would only recommend you do this if you have good mechanical skills, I am a retired mechanic so I was fine with this, otherwise you are up for a combo switch

Bloody ledged Thanks Sportivo 2007

Has any one fitted a usb extension into the back of the stock sat nav unit, I have the fujitsu 10 unit and it has a grey usb port but Im having a hard time getting a cable, Toyota tell me its not possible yet the new sedan has the same head unit and an extension in the lower dash, I wish to fit a usb socket into the bottom of the console and have a 16gb drive to keep my music on, don't like the drive hanging out of the unit in the dash.

Two week old Levin zr manual average for both tanks has been @550 k til light on 6.8 L/100 on the dash 91e10 used mostly 70 to 80 city traffic

Guys E10 is ethol alchole, which is hydroscopic, which means it will absorb moisture. here in lies the problem, when to moisture combines with the ethanol it becomes corrosive, it will eat out the fuel system, unless the tank lines and injectors are synthetic or dont contain aluminium or glavinised steal. e10 also has less energy the normal fuels, so you use a little more than normal 91ulp, but because it burns SLOWER it raises the RON of the fuel ie, 91 ulp + 10% ethanole = @ 93.5 RON and this will (if you engine is able to via ecu adaptive learning) give you more torque and therefore technicaly more performance. so if it is cheaper gives you more bang and the car is designed to use it, go ahead, BUT i will never put it in my car. as it should in effect cost 3 to 4 cents per litre less than 91ulp due to the increases fuel consumption. do some research to who makes ethanol and political donations to parties, and who is in power and the legislation of that state in regard to renewable fuels, YOU may be suprised.
