Save yourself a bit of time by checking exactlyn when your last policy expired and whether the Insurer will issue written confirmation of your no claims bonus at expiry.
If you had the sole use of the company car, work out the exact dates as this will also help the broker or other insurers you approach....
Hi!
I have a question about a 1998 Toyota Starlet (EP91). For the last 18 months of so the MIL has come on from time to time, usually when the engine is somewhere between cold and normal running temperature, but occasionally when it’s been warm for a while. I finally got around to getting a warning code from it, and it came back with 22, indicating an issue with the coolant temperature sensor.... Read more
Many garages round my way refuse to fit anything other than the OEM equipment especially with sensors. They've had various instances where a lookalike part has failed straight out of the packet.

Toyota heavy duty 4x4's do hold their money, we bought a Hilux new in 2007 and sold it 3.5 years later for roughly 70% what we paid for it, miantained models have one of the steadiest depreciation curves you will find, the only other comparable vehicle i can think of that does as well are LR Defenders.
That may be, but realistically there isn't that much demand for them (this country isn't exactly full of people wanting huge off roaders to pop to Tescos?), and especially dodgy US-sourced LHD models with (likely) no history or way or verifying any of the 'information' given....

Nobody on the HJ forum can do "V" codes, I'm afraid. Your only options are what I've already said.
Just bought two bottles of Turtle Wax wheel cleaner from the Pound shop.
I haven't tried them out yet, but must be worth £1 ?... Read more
You say that shop-bought wheel cleaners aren't very effective, but I've always found that Auto Glym Clean Wheels always does the job on my alloy wheels, as long as you use the [fake badger hair shaving] brush as well. Spraying the cleaner on and then hosing it off just gets the loose stuff off. Caked on dirt (possibly a mix of brake dust and mud) takes a bit of effort with the brush after leaving the spray to do its work for 30 seconds or so, but it does come off.
Then rinse with the hose on low and keep brushing until all the cleaner-muck combination has gone, and ta-da! IMO anything that only needs just a pressure washer to lift off the grime is very corrosive and in the longer term surely must start to damage the wheels' surface themselves - ok for a lorry where you might not be so worried about appearance, but on a car, hmmm....
