  1. 1. Congrats on your new car. 2.Any work done to the wiring/electrical system will void the warranty. So no cutting/splicing or altering of the wiring. 3.Seek the dealer's assistance for your need.
  2. Even if the battery pack was ok, it would have lost some capacity now.
  3. Not unless you're a heavy 4x4 enthusiast.That way you'll ignore the slightly thirstier engine, and lower re-sale value. Plus,all tyres need replacing at once.
  4. Loose exhaust hitting the under carriage?
  5. Was the engine running at idle? on 'P' ?
  6. Welcome to AL. 1. GET THE MONEY READY. 2.Get a car maintained at the agent.This is the best bet as you are less prone to end up with a car held together with chewing gum 3. If you are planning on getting a BMW with a 4000cc engine, Dont ask of the efficiency.! Good luck.
  7. What ever you do, Don't wash the engine,.. If your car is an Auto ,as modern auto's don't have a dipstick you might want get the fluid level/condition checked. but it's best to let someone qualified to do the job.
  8. You are correct,UK has no tropical climate. Therefore tropical climate versions are not sold there. Same goes for the rough road version,..
  9. Low fluid can cause your prob,..
  10. Specs for UK vary from models ending up in SL.. plus getting warranty will be a problem.
  11. All body panels should be cool - to stop wax baking. wash and dry in a shady ,well ventilated aria. start with a small area at a time. keep all plastics + beading clear as the drying wax will make them white.
  12. I think the title should be 'low efficiency' 8km per 1L is a crime for your vehicle ! As Davy has pointed, get a scan and address to getting the engine back to correct running as you'll fail your next emissions test. and don't use high obtain petrol.
  13. Now you are the owner , make it legal by registering it under your name @ RMV.
  14. It will be a hit from what I see with the stability of 4 wheels., and prob , will embarrass most hybrid owners with it's efficiency On the down side it has minimal safty and no a/c from what I know.
  15. Go to your owner's manual. refer cooling system maintenance.The max line denotes the upper limit for the coolant to be stored leaving for expansion clearance .
  16. Just wait till local wizz crashes a hybrid !
  17. Using contaminated ATF will cause long term probs on your vehicle.
  18. If you have no idea of what you should do, get some qualified help,.
  19. Taking into account your engine capacity, the car will be taxed as a luxury vehicle,..
  20. When was the transmission service last done? ,....
  21. Don't go down the conversion ave, just buy a Toyota diesel.
  22. Your cat may be blocked.causing excessive back pressure on exhaust. Considering the age of your car , it may have been driven on leaded fuel when it was imported here.- your exh oxygen sensor may be faulty, causing the engine to run rich. also check the t valve and cooling fan/s for proper operation both with a/c on and off.
  23. Good vehicle, but let down by the local agent. costly spares and maintenance.
