  1. Has the pop up hood been activated? If so I can send instructions
  2. As Andrew said the sensors locate in the chaimer. I'm 100% sure of this as it was busted on mine too.
  3. On nengun genuine parts catelog it's listed as "chamber - pop up hood" 2013-08/2015 lexus ave30, gse3. Part number 52621-53020. Google the part number and the images will come up. Check this is the right one as I never checked to see if f sport and non f sport are the same.
  4. Il have a look at the parts diagram I have somewhere from when I was repairing the front of ours.
  5. There is a black tube sits along the front these sensors clip into. It activates the pop up hood I think it's called pressure tube
  6. Personally I would have bought a better after market pump. Blueprint or something reputable. After market is fine if its good quality. First-line however I see as the money would be better set on fire!
  7. If you post the model age and what exactly you have tested so far you may get good advise. As you had the alternator tested I take it its not a hybrid
  8. You can't always check for a small drain by pulling fuses at it wakes systems on the canbus and leaves you going in circles. You can certainly try it but results are often inconclusive!
  9. Too much black plastic front and back. Grilles far too big and silly. They may as well not bother colour code the bumpers! Tacky light right across the back, no thanks. I'd also require a set of fog lights in the front bumper or I'm just not interested. To me it's not great looking
  10. Not keen on the rear light strip across the boot either. It's not clear from the pics but appears to have lost the saloon car look. More like an evogue at the rear corners. So far I'm not excited.
  11. I've had a few new rav4 in at work and they are using a right bit of BMW running gear, so maby the new is may be an under cover 3 series. If that's the way they are going it might be best if they don't offer it in Europe!
  12. Screw it in and drive away. Set the clock!
  13. I replaced mine with one from ecp. About £80
  14. Probably not supposed to be that loud. Shouldn't hear it with the bonnet closed
  15. Drove one at work today on 158k. Not a shake or rattle!
  16. Only designed to fail if you had it in a vw audi. Never seen a Toyota one go bang yet. And as for the journalists being against cvt I don't understand why! They sing on about how smooth the dsg shifts but it's not as smooth as the cvt! It's certainly more relayable than the dsg or Ford powershift! They seem to be against it because you can't feel the gear change! The whole point of a luxury auto I thought!
  17. They sure do have a sqeal strip on the pads. No need for wires that break and put on unnecessary lights.
  18. Some people like the electronic parking brake I a car, I'm not one of them! I have one in a volvo v70 and if there was a way to change it to a lever I would! The foot brake on the is is rarelyey used
  19. I don't go and view a car that has the fuel light on. If there too tight to fuel it what else have they skimped on. Any car I'm ever selling I make sure its never below 1/4 tank.
  20. I'd be more tempted to buy one with petrol in it! Can't understand why companies can have the outlay of stocking an 18k car take the time and effort to present it as such but can't stick 20quid of fuel in so the light is off in the adverts! Pet hate!
  21. Simplest way to put it is they use the small battery to power the electrics that switch on the big battery. Small battery flat means no go
