Hi Paul, thanks for doing this. I will definitely have a key for my 2003 Hybrid, it has just 2 buttons.

Thanks Jordan, that's good to know. It's the fact that when the AC is off it idles perfectly and gives the charging/engine running display but no displays & poor idle when AC selected. It normally runs on LPG so I'll try it on petrol & also mention it at the next service.

Many thanks John31, I hadn't realised quite how local he was to me & the recommendation is very helpful. Ill give him a call independently unless anyone else thinks its a good idea to sound him out for attending the meet.

Hi, just wondering if anyone has noticed that when the aircon is selected, the engine runs when the car is stationary. The graphic display shows that the engine is stopped but it is running very erratically/lumpy sometimes almost stalling. Do we think this is normal, I appreciate that the aircon compressor is electrically driven so presents a significant battery load and in turn a need for the engine to start periodically but I'm concerned that this running is not displayed on the graphic and that it is so erratic. Without the aircon selected normal idle/ engine start/stop is fine. Thanks

Hi, Somebody recommended "a garage in Exeter" to me recently, I've had a look and think it may be this one https://www.hybridrepairservices.co.uk/contact , however I haven't had a need to check them out yet. Regards Chris, (2003 Hybrid)

Hi, I was wondering whether we should sound out someone who does duplicate remote keys to come along. I'm guessing, like me some people only have the one key. I have a non remote key with immobiliser chip that opens and starts the vehicle but would feel more secure if I had a spare remote key. I imagine if you don't have a remote key it could be very expensive to start from scratch. I did once get hold of someone who produced keys but he wanted to set up a meet in a service station & so far I haven't got around to it. [This is the Guy I was thinking of & he just happens to be very local - https://www.autolockmaster.co.uk/toyota-alphard/]

Great idea, would poss join a convoy but really good to meet other owners & find out how they are getting on etc. Ours is a camper so also interested in staying over. Cheers Chris & Jane
