Jenny, Alex,
Firstly, thanks for your help. I wouldn't bother, but these are expensive items.
Model: Avensis 1.8 GS Year: 1997/98 Chassis No: SB153ABN10E001838
Parts:
- One set of front disc pads
- Two front discs.
This is just wear and tear items. I had it serviced and MOTed and they said £300 to supply and fit. I said keep it on hold.
The only thing that has gone wrong is the immobiliser/alarm. It was £110 for a new sender/key and they could not get it to work. The dealer contacted Toyota and they said the control box can only take a certain number of keys programmed into it. The old keys programmed in cannot be deleted. They said it was full and I need a new control unit.
As the car was virtually new - only used as a demo by the dealer - how can this control box be full of keys programmed into it? This should not be the case. Do you think I should contact Toyota about this? They should fit the bill for the control box as it should not have been like that from new.
Thanks
John
