  1. I live in Leeds and i'd be interested to view the car, what colour is it, dont really see many Soarers round Leeds. I could probably take some photos of the car if you want to post them up somewhere as well.
  2. no i dont i have the standard one So you have the small panel for the air con? Try following the details on this site http://web.ukonline.co.uk/soarertt/aircon.htm Also you can try the following which may show if you car finds any other errors, If you have a small scroll panel at the bottom of the dash, then try connecting E1 and TC in one of the data link connectors, either in the engine bay, on top of the engine in a v8 or by the boot and fuel release switches under the dash not sure if both have the same connectors, it should say what they are inside the cover. Turn the ignition on, wait a little while and try pressing the scroll button, it should go through a few systems and will have NG for no good if there is a problem and should then give you an error number, write this down and report here. You can also do this with E1 and TE2 which does a more in depth check on some of the systems and as such may take longer.
  3. Do you have an emv touch screen to control the radio and air con etc?
  4. Oh they come with electric retacting steering columns, touch screen climate control, tape, radio, cassette, and cd changer, active suspension and 4ws with optional reversing camera and a 3d dash on the top model then :P . Must of missed that model :shruriken:.
  5. Thanks! looks like the IS200 is for me then :P Edit* chips229 misse dyour post sorry! must have posted near same time ish. I was looking at the 2.5TT models as they go for around £4000 or less here on autotrader! If I work 5 days a week and work is 4 miles away how far would you say a full tank would get me around town? on a Soarer that is That would depend on what version you get and what sort of driving you do. The fuel tank is large, about 78L so you'll drive for a fair while at 8 miles a day. If you got say 18mpg round town, you'd use less than a gallon a day and you can get about 17+ gallons in the tank. So it would do you for a while, if you decide to plant your foot everywhere as you probably will after you feel the power and smoothness youll get less. If i had to choose between a Soarer or an IS200 and 2mpg more I'd still be driving the Soarer. You cant really compare a Soarer and an IS200, one is a family saloon, one is a luxuary coupe.
  6. If you have tems it will probably be for that, you will probably notice a differnce in ride with it off.
  7. Hasn't it been proven that when traffic lights dont work and drivers have to go it alone that they are often less queues and traffic flows better compared to when the lights work?
  8. Yeah, especially if you, well, drive it anywhere. . Good service and so on soon hopefully. I want the cambelt changed, and the tensioners, and waterpump, and the ignition leads and the plugs, perhaps the rotors as they will be near when the cambelt is replaced etc. The list goes on, and the cost goes up :duh: .
  9. :) Good luck to all on the walk.
  10. There was/is a Fuk Yu Tu in a company staff list.
  11. I just filled up today, another £65 .
  12. You can bridge 2 connectors in the diagnostic port to switch the fuel pump to see if the fuel pump ecu is stuffed which can be quite common apparently. I recall reading B and FP (battery and fuel pump) but i am not certain so please dont try this until you are certain, best to go to www.toyotaimportsforum.co.uk and do a search on there, it should be explained. There is also a general indepth diagnostics check you can do, this should give you a general idea if anything else it can check needs attention.
  13. http://www.planetsoarer.com/videos/ActiveandTTcircleWork.mpg Check out that video. The car that cant stay on the line is a twin turbo, the car with the guy falling asleep through bordom at having to go so slow ;) is the Active driver.
  14. Not sure how the cable is driven, maybe electric and hydraulic are used :duh: . The active suspension with its impressive cornering abilitys makes sure you can have fun on corners, while, well, everyone else trys to keep up .
