  1. Hello Luke, Welcome to the Forum.
  2. We refuel too, as soon as the light comes on, whatever vehicle we are in. Better we all be safe rather than sorry. I don't believe E10 damages the fuel system, but I am no expert (on anything ! ).
  3. Hello Phil, Welcome to the Forum. This topic is covered within the forum; tends to be on old vehicles with a 4 speed gearbox. Lot's of reading for you to do ! Use the search box on your home page. Availability of fuel (especially the further you travel into the south west), and lack of a spare wheel, seem to be the main issues.
  4. The problem with this method is, if there is any 'debris' in the tank it will get pumped through the fuel system. Not what I would want on my van. If using E10, and your vehicle is unused throughout winter, you may experience fuel separation where some water separates from the fuel; also not good for the fuel system. This is one of the main reasons for the E5/E10 debate; covered elsewhere in this forum. 9 litres is the volume Toyota published in the Owners Manual.
  5. Do you have the symbol on your steering wheel ? The camera, if you have one is in the middle of the grill, just under the bonnet opening. A slight pointed, but rounded, projection. Only about a cubic inch.
  6. Have the rear axle mounts/links been replaced lately ?
  7. Check out the photos; there's lots on here
  8. The symbol is for your side looking (peep and creep) front camera. It is switchable from the steering wheel and the head unit. However, I don't recall ever seeing mine light up ! Is it green or yellow ? I suggest you clean the front lenses.
  9. Nine litres is two gallons, which is more than many cars have low fuel notification for.
  10. When you have about 9 litres left.
  11. Have you tried Northstar Conversations on the Isle of Wight ? They are the only company I know that produce/use swivels that I know, and that's for Gen 1 vehicles, and they don't fit the middle row. My guess is Gen 3 is a little too young for them; but worth a phone call.
  12. You could fit a battery isolation switch; will kill any current; even the cooler if you have one ! Silly idea perhaps. or, have a larger battery fitted.
  13. The size and thread should be easy to find. Any decent auto shop should be able to give you one. The only issue I would consider is the strain that the bolt needs to endure. Depends on what you intend to fit to your roof rack.
  14. On your model ? Yes.
  15. It's there to warn pedestrians you are reversing
  16. Who supplied the roof bars ? Ask them. Otherwise you will be left guessing
  17. Just to add a little:- A typical Japanese male weight is 70kgs A typical Japanese female weight is 62.5kgs. I put Y rated tyres on my Jaguar XJR, and, try as I might, I just cannot get the Wild Cat to 186mph ! Seriously, I think this table is very helpful for members. IMHO, weighbridges are OK, but I think vehicle manufacturers use a (four wheel) rolling road with strain gauges (at each corner) to confirm front to rear, and side to side, weight distribution. And, of course, towing changes all the readings. Please consult other threads for towing !
  18. Ensure your starter battery is fully charged. Check the integrity of the battery terminals and leads.
  19. Hello Adrian, Welcome to the Forum. Have you checked the Buy and Sell section ?
  20. Hello Stephen, Welcome to the Forum.
  21. Check the obstruction sensor for cleanliness.
  22. Behind the passenger lower glove box. Glove box needs to be removed; easy, but there's a knack to it ! Filter very easy to change.
