  1. I’ve just been sitting on this rust conversion primer solution to make sure it was decent. Tested on a rusty rear metal on the subframe. It performed superbly with just a layer of Matt black paint - 2 months on, enough confidence to underseal over it. The product is from carbusonic. Treating rust on rear subframe . Easy with Carbusonic rust converter primer.

  3. Hi all. Sorry for the late reply. I have fitted this unit. I had the phones in the holder before and found that cumbersome. Uncoupling it every time I left the car and vice versa. Also it was too small to operate safely in the fly. This unit is a godsend. In originally had it mounted on the drivers side dashboard. It’s an accident waiting to happen. I’ve moved it away from the screen to near the passengers right knee is. Easy to access but not tempting to look at. Voice commands are easy to listen to. I use bbc sounds for my radio. There is no delay on the unit itself. It reacts fast. Pretty sure this has an aux output. Car stereo wheel controls work. Hope this helps.
  4. You can easily check if the Inverter cooling pump is working by running the engine, remove the filler cap which is the one on the right side top of the radiator. Look in the neck and if you see movement of the coolant, usually a slight up and down movement, then it should be ok. If you can't see coolant then try topping up with Toyota Pink. If the system is actually full then a cap full should overflow. If this is working then you can look elsewhere. I would advise changing the pump any way as pre-emptive servicing because they do fail.
  5. Brilliant, thanks very much Ted - perfect advice. I searched and it turned out to be this part: https://www.amayama.com/en/part/toyota/5859558020a0 I then searched that part number on Google Images and it corresponds with what I was looking for: Thanks again!
  6. Ah, in that case, they are Princess Engineering Autos, 161 Barlow Road, Levenshulme, Manchester. They've been around a long time, father then son. My garage man, more of a friend, sadly now retired, who I've known for 26 years, knew them from their early days, and used them. They do have a website. I used them on my Renault Master van, when the plastic cam cover cracked and spewed oil, (used to be a common Renault problem). I was nervous about the injectors coming out, but they said "why wouldn't they come out?" Obviously gave me a bit of confidence! They did the job on the day and with no mither. Cheers!
