Toyota my Lex bodyshop have had a look and said £200 for full panel respray, £60 for a smart repair, but the smart repair won't be invisible and it will fade/discolour after 6/12 months
So I'm now waiting for Chips away to see what they say anyone any experiance with there repairs?
Did something very similar myself last year - Had it touched up by Chips away and looks good as new.

Does look like the ALT fuse is blown.
Does that control all of the listed functions? Also is this also in the under the bonnect fuse box and is it removeable so I can test it too?

If you have to floor the accelerator to get a response, the car is in "get you home" mode, my car does this every month or so, to fix that one problem....
open fuse box in bonnet
remove 20A ECTS fuse
remove 15A trac fuse
remove 20A ECU fuse
wait a few seconds
put all the fuses back
Car should now respond to throtle input normally. i've done it so many times now its second nature - one warning, don't drop the fuses - I dropped one once and it took me about 15 minutes to get it back out of the engine bay.
"my car does this every month or so.." - Is this a known Lex issue? cus it's the first time this as ever happend to me...

Effected areas:
Wipers/screen wash,
Stereo,
Sat nav,
Heater & A/C,
Drivers side power setas,
Seat heaters,
Electric windows (x4)
Central locking,
Mileage display,
Rev counter,
Fuel guage,
Battery meter,
Engine temp meter,
All dash lights - including icons when turning ignition,
Replaced battery - bought a halfords HCB500 - Engine is running fine - although accelerator pedal has to be pushed right to the bottom to get a response - I'm guessing that this is electronically controlled too?
...Quite a few things when you start listing them - abit of a school boy error on my part
- wanted to get back into the motor in the new year...
lthanks in advance...

In the engine bay fuse box there is a 120A ALT fuse and 40A AM1 fuse. Check those, disconnect the Battery first before pulling those and they may be hard to remove.
Also can you list the things that do work as well as the things that don't.
What will I be checking for when I remove those fuses - Shall I just pull them out and replace them?
Working Items:
Passenger side electric seat
Inside lights - (Centre, red light in doors)
Head lamps & beams - but only when manually switched on.
Non-working Items (..append to previous list above)
Sunroof
Side mirrors - both adjustment and folding
Warning bleep when reversing
cheers

Guys,
Jumped started the Battery after xmas period (car was garaged for about 5 weeks) car started again but I managed to cut off all dash display, electric windows(x4), A/C etc...
Have checked the fuses , both under the bonnet and driver kick panel, and changed a couple to see if it makes a difference - but no luck
Please help

Alive and Kicking once again!
It was the 120A ALT fuse as you correctly pointed out Colin. -
Word of warning to anyone for the future - It doesn't just pull out - there are a couple of very hard to get to screws that hold the connectors to the fuse in place - these have to be removed before this fuse can be replaced.
Thanks for the help guys
