Icarsoft Toyota is a good code reader.

nice camper, and agree with roger, those front seat covers are ace! Enjoy many happy camping trips

I posted aout this in the guides section

Wouldn't have a dealer touch my car. i proved twice by 2 different dealers that they did not even do the service and skipped items on the service. Massive embarrassment to them and publicly announced it. Find a decent garage as get their advice on skipped changes. If i bought a car with skipped changes then i would probably consider a oil flush (as long as seals are safe) and flush it out.

you would need to check for sludging. Toyotas generally do not like having oil skips... unlike german brands that do 20k, Toyota prefer 8-10k service intervals. I found Toyota engines get tappy on cold starts, I have own 15 Lexus/Toyota and do notice when they need a change. I recently changed the oil on my Alphard as even though i only did 2000 miles since last change, i reckon the dealer used Mazola grade oil.. added proper sythentic if you have not bought then i wouldnt buy.. thats my brutal opinion.

Paintwork looks great. More pics of the interior would be great

thought when you were in reverse there is a small button on bottom of the screen

if these are making a noise when braking then I would check to see you are not getting earthing issue or some kind of electrical fault. Not saying this is the issue but worth checking. Ask someone to press the brake to see if all the lights work properly and that no other lights come on when braking.

drove an evora around castle coombe for a day and did not realise it was a 2GR, yes it was amazing engine.

As these are not standard to the car then its tricky. Try this link to a pressure guide, i set it to your tyre size. Maybe a guide for you. https://tirepressure.com/245-40r19-tire-pressure Seek professional advice if unsure.

Never heard of calibration needed. are you having issues with them?

I dont have the car with me but if I remember later I will try and measure the boot load area

I believe all tow bars can be fabricated for any car, if you go to a good tow bar shop they should be able to take a look underneath and fabricate exactly what you want. I had one where i could remove it but simply undoing one bolt and then it was hidden away. This was on my old Lexus.
