    To DO:

    1. Wheel Locking Nut: Toyota charges £58 to remove and replace  :clap:  :thumbup:

        - Apparently there is a second glove compartment (we looked in the boot and main glove compartment and couldn't find it) - but now found it when I got home :)

    2. Need new tyres all round

    3. Gave car a quick jet wash and glass clean...

    TOTALLY agree!

    Just looking after my pennies for now (so sacrificing £££ for va-va-vroom)...

     

     

    Can't wait til my retirement to get back on the CLASSIC car scene again! :)

    Very nice. I have to admit to being a Toyota convert after several years of ownership of a Rav4.2.  I've been secretly looking at the Auris estate (if I every go back to needing a car instead of a van).

    Cheers Samuir!

    Looks and driving pleasure out of window!

    For sheer green-less and economy and reliability (without the expensive, clatter complications of a diesel) - hybrid / electric is the way forward.....for now :)

    My wife said "I don't know why I bought the Auris when that model was new , its dull to drive ," and that's with a manual  , CVT Ill give you 6 months before you're changing , there's more to motoring than fuel consumption, I hope  its reliable  and you do not spend a fortune on it ,( like you have with your others) then get rid.
