btw if anyone wants to get some custom ones built (its about £80 from SGS Engineering) then the standard struts are around 950N. I got led up the garden path by gemini that got 650N from somewhere so i initially had them made for 750N .. but this was weaker than what was there. I sent them back and they up rated them for £18 and so I have just fitted a pair of 1200N struts and they are now holiding my boot and bike rack with ease. Jobs-a-goodun ➗ I'm posting it here because i could not find this info anywhere ... which was really infuriating and is what led me down the gemini fail! Hope it saves someone else an extra £18 regas!

I run a 100Ah LiFePO battery in my 2012 hybrid. Taped the temperature sensor from the old battery to the side. Been running over a year now., works a beauty and so handy for things like running my fridge!

I had a look at doing this myself but never got round to it. Have you popped the little try of at the back? Could there be more screws under there near the battery isolator plug?

Toyota uses high end galvanisation on the body work. It really is unecessary to underseal them. My mechanic has been servicing Alphards for 10 years or more and even the oldest ones show no signs of corrosion underneath. Unlke the bongos which rust like an LDV ;) I should add my Bongo needed rewelding underneath within 5 years of undersealing ...

"Press and hold DISP, then look for the beep or buzzer icon to change the volume of the alarm ‘chirp’". On what "screen" do you do this? I have never found this on my hybrid . I know I can turn off the EV indeicator from one screen and when looking at the fuel efficiency (not the since last refill one) doing this resets the count ...

hold hte key to the door handle ... and then open the door ...

Its there on a japanese import ... I think the ECU changes the language when it fires up ... if you can block that ... it will stay in English.

Badum tish ... petrol stations always quote it in pennies or cents ...

I twice ran it for 50 miles or so past the 0km left on a rnu down and back up through France in the past week. Both times refilled to 58L and no signs it wsa dangerously low on fuel ... Not sure I want to push it any further mind 😄 Slightly annoying only managed to get 55L in while I was in Andorra ... Only paid €124.2 per litre as well!

Filled up 58L today ... saved 5p a litre carrying on to the sainsburys near home! 🤣

I've taken mine down to 57L a few times ... generally shows empty at 52L ... Have driven it from Sevenoaks to High Wycombe with the fuel guage on empty 😄

I don't have any other good pics handy will have to try and remember to get you some over the weekend. The straps over the spoiler may well push the spoiler down a little but its not noticeable. I've had a good 40kg of bikes hanging off them as well.

I've got a thule 973-24 I picked up for £40. I've modified it with some straps on the sides and across the top of the spoiler and it works beautifully. Really wish I could get a 4th bike adapter for it ... but its so old you can't get them anymore

I dunno ... that sounds awesome
