  1. They are where puddle lights go. You can easily buy replacements on line such as eBay and Ali express for about £8 a pair. You can get light projected designs too . The wiring is probably in the hole and the units are often plug and play
  2. Anyone in East Anglia needing a Japanese import worked on by a trustworthy excellent mechanic should use Mikes Car Room, near Tiptree Essex. mikescarroom.co.uk He replaced the CVT unit in my 2015 vellfire, sorted out a loud rattling noise in the steering and cured my sliding door issues. He also worked on my Ford Freda most effectively and at very reasonable cost. Having nearly given up on Japanese imports because of the difficulties of finding people who know and understand them, Mike has restored my enthusiasm and enjoyment of my cars again. I am not being paid or receiving any benefits in kind for posting this message but want other members in the area to know where to go if they are unfortunate enough to need problems with their Japanese import vehicles. A visit to his workshop leaves you in no doubt of his engineering skills. I hope members find this post helpful.
  3. I know this is obvious but have you checked the window lock switch hasn’t accidentally been pressed?
  4. You could also try it along the roof under the rubber roof strips. Also check the door rubber seals are not damaged especially at the top. If they are repair or replace them
  5. Hi Along with cleaning roof drains I ran some Captain Tolley’s creaking crack cure around the windscreen edges a couple of times. That seemed to sort it. Good luck
  6. Hello Please can anyone suggest where I might get my gear box replaced? It’s a 2.4 2AZ-FE FWD petrol with a K112-02A CVT unit? I am in Colchester Thanks
  7. Have you checked that you haven’t accidentally hit the moon roof lock button
  8. Can you recommend where to buy Toyota CVT fluid TC please? I am having difficulty finding a uk source for 4L or less
  9. Is that something I could see from underneath the car?
  10. I have just crawled under the car and see that there is oil o fluid on underneath of cvt area. I have tried to photograph it and will attach. I cannot see where it has come from. Do these units leak from and specific areas? Is it likely to still need replacing? Videos is not great as hard to get light and camera focus at same spotIMG_4525.mov IMG_4525.mov IMG_4525.mov
  11. It all looked dry underneath. Thanks for responding
  12. Hi My 2015 2.4 petrol vellfire died on me yesterday! Engine runs but no drive so I suspect the gear box has gone. Had been running very smoothly but then noticed a slight roughness at slower speed going up slight incline a mile or so before it completely lost power. Does anyone know of a garage near Colchester Essex who might be able to do a proper diagnostic check and repair or replacement. From the chassis number and vin plate I think it is a K112-02A trans axle CVT Any idea if ball park cost? Thanks for any advice suggestions.
  13. Hi If it once had a sun roof and water can get to that area I would check the roof drains. Not too difficult to check from inside by moving down the roof lining above front doors. I would also check carefully for tears and splits in the rubber seals around the doors
