  1. Passenger Ejector seat... never know with the Japanese aftermarket gadgets, certainly a 'power symbol' maybe it has been disconnected I have a similar but smaller button which was for ETC (electronic toll collection) device.
  2. Very happy with mine, was unsure at first about ordering one looking at the online pictures, shipping costs the same as the cost of the protector. Mine was £82.24 delivered.
  3. Where in Neston, my local mechanic also in Neston happily works on my vellfire, appreciate though its a bit of a way if your in hoylake, I've always sourced the parts (genuine toyota ones mainly for servicing). Have you tried any local garages near you most reputable ones I'm sure will advise you.
  4. Been using a pioneer da160 dab for just over a year now with a pioneer sub ts wx130ea, very happy with it
  5. As Smurf and Rojie mentioned, mine does this after replacing the the reversing lamp bulb to led, replaced the camera now as well it wasn't great, still the same, May try and put some sort of shade around the camera but have too see how much of the vision it may loose, lighter days are coming so not too bothered at the moment.
  6. No not fitted yet, there still in the box.... I have replaced the fog lamp bulbs and at the moment just use them with the side lights during the day.
  7. Thanks Guys. The Vellfire is gen2 2011, couple of responses from toyota: ‐----------- Thanks for your message. We no longer offer Dot 3 brake fluid. Dot 4 is the improved version an is fully interchangeable. Dot 4 is fully compatible with DOT 2 and 3 and will not cause any issues. To prevent reduced braking performance the brake fluid should be replaced every 2 -3 years.
  8. I'm looking to change the brake fluid, cap says dot3 but I can't find any toyota branded dot3, can dot4 or dot5.1 be used, has dot3 been used because of the Japanese climate just briefly reading about it dot3 has a longer life, lower boiling point, doesn't absorb as much moisture. Any thoughts. thanks
  9. You could try these http://www.towbarsdirect.co.uk/home.htm Steve Bell motors in Newton le Willows fitted mine (20 series) when I purchased my car from them.
  10. Recently changed my tyres to xl, feels so much better for me now, had previously Autogreen tyres (not xl), usually only me in the car 80% of the time, we also tow a caravan , maybe my personal preference but would always go for the xl.
  11. After a few months of thought bought the Bosch S4 E41, EFB 72ah, 760cca. Fits the battery tray nice. Thanks to all you guys as well from this post, very useful info.
  12. Looking to find out what bulbs are in the front fog lamps, any recommendations where too buy. Took these out, one of them not working properly. Think there HB4 bit maybe wrong though. Cheers Guys.
  13. Just found it after all this time😅
  14. As kev1839 has already covered, just make sure you advise your insurance as a towbar is a modification, and there aware what your using it for , there was no change in price for me.
