  1. e.g. pin entry for secure voice mail, you save the speed tone so you don't have to punch it in while driving
  2. Turned wheels (are you turning at the junction?) and downhill slopes increase ABS sensitivity.
  3. On a downhill? One particular pothole near my work, not too bad either, ABS will kick in. It's actually a feature of newer ABS systems to prevent the wheel slamming into the other edge of the pothole while locked, but rather by continuing to rotate. It does feel a bit more sensitive, but it is performing as designed.
  4. DVLA have an online chat, I've chatted with them in the past, helpful bunch plus you can save the chat.
  5. Premium edition, not same as premium pack. In my model year it was a grade as well as an optional pack. The pack iirc was missing the wide screen but added leather 10 way seats with memory while the edition had the screen but not the fancier leather seats. On the new configurator it's still a grade but now the pack also has the widescreen, unless I'm misremembering. Actually went back an checked my saved configuration it says "Black Tahara & Leather trim with Film inlays", whatever they mean by that 🤷‍♂️ Part leather? which part?
  6. I have Tahara in my ES and it is perforated. I'm a heavy guy, 6 months and 6k+ miles, no creases. I would pursue this further, I'm sure it's worse than your pics are showing. It certainly would bug me for that to happen in such a short time/mileage.
  7. yes the umm.. length is rather ample
  8. Looking for a house, and it's frustrating how small the garages can be, even on new builds. Did a measurement, you'd need a minimum of 3m width to get out of the car, just the driver mind you, with some dignity, ideally 3.25m. Then there's the question of length. I feel your pain.
  9. You're welcome. Once or twice will have negligible effect. I wouldn't stop using iso, excellent glass cleaner/degreaser, I use it at 70% to clean camera lenses. I would just keep it away from rubber.
  10. Just one warning with isopropanol. Wipe it away before it reaches rubber. Not all types of rubber will deteriorate, some will though and rather badly. Think window seals and wiper blades. Also our wiper blades have their own heater lines in the windshield, on screen only, not linked to front defogger physical button. One last, cheaper source and lab grade https://www.amazon.co.uk/Hexeal-LITRE-Isopropyl-Alcohol-Isopropanol/dp/B082XQ4W4R/ref=sr_1_5?crid=3387WL6RIZOG2&keywords=isopropyl+alcohol+99.9&qid=1640182968&sprefix=iso%2Caps%2C89&sr=8-5
  11. Large screen here too, completely different menu layout after watching Mincey's video, not likely to be of much help. Sorry. Only thing I can think of. Do you have an item under the setup menu called "auto screen change"? If so, and it's on, it auto switches to nav; I would guess that should be off to have a non nav main screen.
  12. For sale: Thule K summit K23, brand new easy clearance snow chains. Fits alloys from 13 to 20 inches (even on cars where it's claimed that chains do not fit).

  13. Do they sell the avalon here in the UK?
  14. ah the infamous 5th injector attempting spuriously to regen the dpf
  15. well, I would think wide first. Injectors are last on my list as I would expect a cylinder or bank running lean rather than a no start. I would start with filter. A way to test it is to put car in acc, but not start it, let the pump prime for at least a couple of minutes (you do say you hear it running continuously). Theoretically the longer the prime, the more fuel can get through a clogged filter, allowing for a longer run before it dies. Which kind of fits as when you start it immediately after it dies you get nothing but crank. If the longer prime doesn't work, then I would be looking at the too much air side, checking all the vacuum tubing by hand (you won't hear any hiss at this point), and checking the sensor readings on techstream once you get it.
  16. This is something I learned here in the UK a long time ago and is recommended in the highway code but not at speed. I still remember the signs just outside of Edinburgh airport stating "use both lanes, merge in turn". However decades later some people are still oblivious and downright stupid. HGV driver today, and I've seen similar morons in Germany (where btw it's called the zipper maneuver, and is taught religiously to new drivers), decided to straddle both lanes blocking anyone from merging in turn and causing the tailback to be unnecessarily long into multiple past traffic lights/junctions. Didn't honk at him, beam him or anything, just took a long breath and swore internally at the moron playing policeman/que monitor. https://www.rac.co.uk/drive/advice/driving-advice/zip-merging/ opinions?
  17. Assuming both pumps are running, then sounds like a lean run (too much air, too little fuel). Large vacuum leak, really off sensor reading, clogged fuel filter or injectors are causes that come to mind.
  18. I wouldn't be worried, used the stuff on my last car, sold on without a scratch, hologram or swirl in sight (Polished metal metalic = darkish grey metallic). Here's what a German mechanic/shop foreman, responsible for evaluating incoming used cars to the Honda dealership, said when I sold them my nearly 4 year old 83k km civic: translated "looks like a brand new car, only give away is the mileage on the odometer". As you know Germans are, lets say pedantic.
  19. Unless it says on it to use on windows, it's a smeary outlook. Notably the meguiars stuff is ok on windows, works like rainx.
  20. Quite a bit cheaper than what I use (https://www.amazon.co.uk/Meguiars-G3626EU-Ultimate-Waterless-768ml/dp/B006FUT0CS/ref=sr_1_4?crid=H2L52QUJYEBT&keywords=meguiars+waterless&qid=1639310862&s=automotive&sprefix=meguiars+wa%2Cautomotive%2C159&sr=1-4). You didn't put too much, apply liberally when it's that dirty, I also use a 3 towel method, and turn frequently. Looks like you did everything spot on. I also use the stuff after a contact wash, quick motorway jaunt to dry or leafblower if you have one, then spray less liberally and wipe, gives a nice polymer coat and prevents water spots. I haven't contact dried a car in years now.
  21. You're right Colin. It should prime and then shut up. Does not work continuously. It does vary though based on how long you've left it not running, how cold or hot, parked outside...etc. Sometimes can be a couple of seconds, sometimes considerably longer but still in the seconds range not continuous.
  22. I hear that same noise when i open the driver's door on mine, sounds like an electric pump/priming. Check vacuum hoses. Could you have dislodged one? see: https://oards.com/causes-of-a-car-starts-then-dies-immediately/
  23. Thank you both. Yes sadly we're from a bygone era. I already checked your link as well as a wider search. I was only able to find the part on a couple of Polish sites and of course from the manufacturer here. Have sent them an email, we'll see. Plan B make my own aerator nozzle and pin hole the top of the dip tube to allow in a mix of air and foaming solution under pressure at the source (literally every beer master's keg nightmare 😉 ). Theoretically should work.
  24. Trying to order spare parts (dip tube & foaming nozzle) for a pressure sprayer/foamer. Wife had bought the thing when we still lived in Germany, but I never used it and didn't notice until recently that it only came with the spray and not the foam nozzle. As the thing is also sold here in the UK, I sent these, let's say challenged, people an email requesting to buy these spare parts. For the record, the nozzle spare part is catalogued on the manufacturer's website (poland) but not on Kwazar UK and these guys are their UK distributors/resellers. Allow me to quote the responses I got: First email response: Sorry but we don’t remember sending the one to Germany? btw, that's the whole email, no dear, no regards, nothing. Figured there might be a language barrier, so explained as above and that I just want to order the spare parts Second email response: We have nothing to do with Kwazar-shop.de. We are Uk distributors only and the dip tube is not available. Please contact your original supplier to see if this is available from them. Again no salutations, no regards, even though I'm sending Dear Helen (that's the reps name/email they have for customer service) and Kind Regards. Let's ignore the perceived rudeness for a moment. More imprtantly, no mention/ignoring the nozzle, for which there is a catalogue number that is listed as a spare part, and please correct me if I'm wrong; if it's sold here, they are legally obliged to sell the spare part under the whole right to repair song and dance, right? Opinions welcome. I'm hovering between language/logic/intellect/rudeness problem.
  25. You can also lock her from the back doors too. All 4 doors are dual touch sensitive for locking and unlocking.
