  1. Hi Garry, Is you battery in tip top condition, and fully charged. I suggest you charge your battery and try again.

    I have a different unit, but mine does not have a code. With a much lower crime rate in Japan, I think you will find you won't need one. But you are wise to check with members first.
  3. Distance Selling Regulations. Cancel the order and request your bank to refund your payment if the seller won't. They can do that, but may need a little persuading. Same with Paypal if you paid that way. And..... Don't forget to update Trust Pilot !
  4. Toyota Direct may be a quicker source if your local Toyota dealer doesn't have one.
  5. Your vehicle type has been corrected. I do not have a Hybrid so can no longer offer useful help. But I will mention that batteries do not respond well to cold weather; their charge level needs to be maintained throughout the winter months.
  6. Hello again Vivian, We are all making slow progress. As Chris.ac says, we need as much info as possible, PLEASE. As DVLA has your vehicle recorded as a Hybrid; I assume it is. Please confirm that, and I will change your listing. Otherwise, it is misleading, and members will not, necessarily, provide relevant advice. As your vehicle was imported a while ago, when did the issue arise ? Was it overnight or over a period of time? What were the symptoms prior to the dead battery ? What is the location of the battery ? I would get your new battery fully charged before the auto electrician arrives. He probably won't need it, but you will when sorts the problem. I'd charge the old one too, if you still have it. Good Luck.
  7. Hello Vivian. I am not an auto electrician. Hopefully one of our more learned members will answer your question better than I. Trying to fit a battery, incorrectly, could lead to accidents. The terminals are different sizes. The positive is larger than the negative. The leads in the car are similarly different sizes. So they cannot be properly fitted incorrectly, the wrong way round. Unfortunately, this does not prevent them being temporarily (touch connected) incorrectly. Did you do fit the battery at home, or have a done at a garage ? If you believe the battery has been fitted incorrectly, even for seconds, you may need to check all the fuses individually for any blown ones. Generally, any sparking when fitting a battery is not a good sign either, as it means a least one circuit is live. If you are desperate, contact Cuttothechase on ebay as he is close to you and may be able to help in some way.
  8. Hello Vivian, Welcome to the Forum. Please ensure the new battery is fully charged. May be better to disconnect it it and remove it your garage or shed and charge it overnight. What were the symptoms before the new battery ? I have a different model, but if the vehicle is allowed to stand without use the result can be an apparently dead car. I keep a spare battery, fully charged, for when this happens, and I use it to start the car with jump leads. When you do get it started, you need to run for 30 to 45 minutes to allow the alternator to fully charge the battery! Hope this helps.
  9. Hello Gary, Welcome to the Forum.
  10. Hello Greg, Welcome to the Forum. Hopefully you will see more in summer as owners explore the Gower Coast; quite special.
  11. I have a MZ G of the same year (2006) fitted with a different OEM HDD head unit which definitely supports blue tooth !
  12. They did not need mine; but I do not have a Hybrid. Prompt excellent service, well sealed and packed.
  13. Hello Syed, Welcome to the Forum Yours is a common problem among new owners. Assuming you have the correct 4D67 chip in your key; you need an Auto Electrician and 80 to 120 pounds ! You could try Halfords or Timpsons, but they won't do it; neither will an official Toyota dealer. I cannot remember whether TechStream (Toyota software) allows you to do this or not. As I said, this is a common issue; try searching this Forum to improve your awareness.
  14. Hello Dominic, Welcome to the Forum. Your images don't open at a readable size, for me anyway !
  15. But Saleash doesn't want to wait to import them !
  16. Hello Saleash, Welcome to the Forum.
  17. Hello Tony, Welcome to the Forum. Are you referring to High Beam or Low Beam ? Can you add a photo, as there are more than one type of bulb fitted. High Beam Halogen (H4, 60w/55w) or Discharge (HB3, 60w). Low Beam With AFS D2R, 35W Without AFS D2S, 51W I hope this is a helpful starting point.
  18. Hello Alphy, Welcome to the Forum. So sorry to read your 'Tale of Woe'. Hopefully, you will get some quick and helpful replies. If not, within a few days, I will refer this to one of our learned members who may be able to help you
  19. No surprise to me. Their quotes seem to vary enormously ! There is a thread on this Forum for Insurance, where many owners disclose their Insurers and Premiums Search for it. Generally, you should be looking at 300 to 400 pounds.
  20. Hello Monty, Welcome to the Forum
  21. Hello Yuma, Welcome to the Forum. As MonsterS says, in this thread, you can't.
  22. Hello Martin, Welcome to the Forum
  23. Moved to Sales Section
  24. I have a Gen 1 facelift; not the same as yours. On the Gen 1 the seat rails are different between the 7 and 8 seaters. I cannot tell from you photos. If the distance between the rails is exactly equal on both seats, you should be OK. If they are different, you will need to change the seat rail of the inner one under the 'bench' seat. My guess is you have five seats rails. The 7 seater has only four. These four rails are shared with the rearmost seats too. I suggest you examine a 7 seater first. It is doable; but not quite as straight forward as might appear at first. Good Luck
  25. Hi Kate, Did you ensure the battery was fully charged before you fitted it ? Did you fit the battery personally, or have a garage do it ? Any sparking of the battery leads when it was connected ?
