  1. Hi there Golom696!! I can second the scenario Gamith said, but I didn't even have reset the window auto function, I was possibly lucky! I think the head units are not "coded" as it would not seem to be not such a problem in their home market, far less theiving toe rags in Japan!!
  2. Is the original poster still here / interested? Or have you sorted it?
  3. Have you had it long? What were the symptoms leading up to this point?
  4. Also, ours doesn't pick up the satellites on this side of the world, we just get a plain blue screen with an arrow on it looking lost and forlorn 😀 Maybe I've just not bothered enough to figure it out, but it would be years out of date, and not at all likely to have UK maps if I did! Cheers, Nev
  5. It'll depend on just how fastidious you are, for the few chips on ours, I wasn't too bothered for the roof, only VERY tall people see that 🤣
  6. Hi there! The colour code is on the door pillar name plate, passenger side. I got a touch up bottle kit, paint and lacquer, from ebay. Then later I got aerosol paint too, primer / base / pearl / lacquer. Lots of suppliers out there for paint thankfully! Cheers, Nev
  7. Hiya Martyn! I got a Lexus 17" space saver for ours, we've got an LPG tank underneath as you have! The bolt PCD is 114.3 x 5, very common Toyota and Lexus, and a good many others too. If you went for an alloy wheel, the design will affect what offset, the ET number, will fit, to clear the caliper. Cheers! Nev
  8. Yep that's right, 20 series spare is underneath!
  9. Definitely no space below the floor carpet on ours. Flat floor. Our LPG tank is underslung below it. There is a small pocket area at the bottom left when looking into the boot, and it is small. Above this is the pocket where the jack and wheel brace hide. Cheers, Nev
  10. 🤔 A picture paints a thousand words!!!
  11. Yeah the pump is knackered.
  12. It's not a busted drive shaft CV joint is it? Happened to my brother in law a few years ago, no drive in any gear! That's barely anything in the way of an oil leak!!!!
  13. Hi there! It's certainly worth the effort to clean the throttle body, if only to eliminate it from the enquiries! I did ours when I took it apart to change the plugs, it was quite mucky. If it's bad enough, I can see it may stick coming off idle. Ours is on lpg too! Cheers, Nev
  14. Personally I'd speak to them, and absolutely clarify the model. If there's room to wriggle, they will!
  15. Indeed!! My point on plugs as an example! But, yes the V6 is far more difficult to change plugs, but I did mine myself in a couple of leisurely hours. Depends on what year yours is now!
  16. Hi Mark! Whilst not totally conclusive, on top of what you've done by using some injector cleaner, it's probably, not definitely, not fuel realted. Guessing at bits now, but how old are the plugs? And as it's the 2.4 litre, 4 cylinder, if in any doubt it's easy to put some new ones in there! I don't know what yours takes, mine were Denso, I went originals, nowadays cars can be very fussy on electronics! Cheers, Nev
  17. Hi Mark! As an experiment, before going for crank, turn the key to the ON position for a couple of seconds, twice, so the fuel pump fully pressurises the lines, then go for the start up. See if it helps at all! Cheers, Nev
  18. Hi there Carolyn! Yes you can fit it, it's a doddle for anyone remotely handy. Also, check your local autofactors, you will be able to get them from there, and should be a good price. But then I got a pair of D4S from Aliexpress for £15, by Sukioto from Japan, and they've been in and working since September, all through winter, every early morning on my wife's drive to work. PLEASE do not go to ANY garage for that job!!! Cheers, Nev
  19. I guess @Nicol forgot to update this thread sadly.
  20. Yes ours has the footwell lights, but just one colour, kind of amber, and the door mounted puddle lights. But not the door cubby ones! As you say, get the company who you bought it from to sort those fog lights!
  21. Was there a lid for the fuse box, as normal practice is the circuits are identified on that.
  22. A very cheap plugin one is available on ebay, or similar, under a tenner. I have one and it does read our Vellfire. Search for Obd2 WiFi reader Mine is an ELM327, but there's lots quite similar.
