Here this is a long thread which may help. Sorry to hear these scumbags got your car for a second time 😞 i have a Yaris hybrid which the cat cannot be gotten to as it's at the manifold. I was for a period considering getting an auris or Lexus ct200 hybrid, but they get cats stolen as it's mid section. So I will have to stay put with a small car for now.

I have a different car, what I find always the case over the years are normally it's the ballast that is the issue. Hid bulb that have problems are normally very dim and stays on. Obviously could be hid bulb issues in some cars.

Good that u & your family have recovered from the virus, hopefully cannot harm again. Great job in getting some work done on the car, i recently also changed the air and pollen filters for my car, they were quite dirty.

I know. In southeast London pretty much a ghost town in the first 5 weeks, this week there are a lot more vehicles on the road, especially today. The weather is nicer and also in anticipation of easing lockdown + maybe more businesses are getting people back to work. I'm moving further up north England soon, had enough of traffic, violent crimes and expensive London.

I phone Adrian Flux up with 3months of insurance left last month to ask for a reduction in premium, not giving me anything! 😒 Looking elsewhere when it comes to renewal! Admiral are nice to give £25. Adrian Flux screw u.

U sound like you know what u want to do already, as well u can do some DIY yourself. U know u don't want to spend 570 servicing a 9 years old car, I wouldn't on the ct200. Probably can get an indy to do it for half the price and still be good. If I was potentially buying a old car like yours, I don't mind so much that the last service was done at an indy, I would understand. The key is the car still got looked after.

An oil and filter change will do just fine.

I am so so sorry for your loss Messi.

The extension is set out by law, those insurance company which claim not to cover this don't have a leg to stand on against the government. Ppl should not be worry at all. Mine is due end of may, will do it in November. PS: perhaps that garage owner is making it up to get business?

I come to my assumption base on children are not affected. It's like it has been designed not to affect children. Given that most if not all diseases adversely affect those with weak immune systems - children/elderly & ill health people. I would go as far as saying I think USA planted this virus in China and Iran. It's easy to blame the Chinese for eating all sorts. Iran we know has not been conforming to uranium standards and as well attacked American bases. Every other countries are just part of collateral. I'm sure there are much more underlying reasons if it were man made. Of course this will never be proven either way.

My guess is this virus is man made.

Being cynical, this is great time for any govt to get rid of anyone they want (reasonable to get hold of) and blame it on cv19.

Perhaps change the tyre profile a bit i.e. 245/45/18 or other combo.

With medical and technological advances I think it can be tested in the lab, probably done it already and they know the result. Don't believe everything on the news.

I would go for a drive to charge it up. I do this sometimes myself when I have left the car for 3 days+ without driving in the winter period.
