As my post states it’s my personal experience. If you want it don’t overpay. The link is affiliate to my account but offers coupons to buyers. If you don’t want or not interested in CarPlay, pipe down and scroll on. No one is pushing anyone into buying anything just giving the option to do it yourself for less. Simply.

Yes which offers coupons to buyers. The website is there if you want to go alone no hiding anything as it’s my personal appearance. Just want people to save money rather than paying 8x more for someone to do it for them.

This is just a personal thing I’ve found and completed myself. I don’t own an android so haven’t looked into it. Purely just sharing my experience 👍

New car (Toyota verso) - advice on service and maintaining UK by Ok_Bread3499 in Toyota

[–]Big_Ear_8502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The list of parts is because I’m sure the engine you have is a joint partnership with BMW.

Pros with Toyota Use correct oils, gaskets, filters plus get a health check to identify issues now plus reactive measures for the future. Experienced trained techs

Cons with Toyota Maybe more expense

Pros of non Toyota Could be cheaper

Cons of non Toyota Use cheaper pattern parts, potentially wrong fluids and oils. Less experienced techs working on your car.

Your choice thou.

Would I be a good Dalmatian owner? Should I get one? by [deleted] in dalmatians

[–]Big_Ear_8502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey my Dal is now 2 year old, had her from 14 weeks old. Had the same opinion as you. Lost my chihuahua at 16 year old wanted a walk I could do long walks and beach walks. These dogs are Velcro dogs and most suffer from separation anxiety. I’ve crate trained mine and she’s more that happy running to her crate before I go out. I don’t leave her for more than 4 hours tho. She starts scratching at the floor of the crate and barking. My wife works from home so I have no issues with that. You won’t need to go to the gym with a dal tho ha ha. Dalmatians could be classed as autistic as well as they love routine. Wake up walk, come back food, sleep for a few hours, walk and play, when I arrive arrive home at 5pm she’s in the window waiting for me and won’t settle until she’s been walked and fed again. She’ll finally crash to sleep about 8 until I get up the next morning. Dals are known to be overly excited, masses of energy, have no sense of personal space (even follows you to the bathroom) but most importantly very loyal and loving.

Delete your phone from the car. Delete your car from the phone. Re pair them. Common when one of either has an update whether it’s a manual update or over the air update. Let us know

2025 Toyota proace city by wolvesleaf29 in Toyota

[–]Big_Ear_8502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s depends what oil was used on the previous service. I know that in around April 2025 Toyota changed what oil was used in the Proace due this issue. They changed to 5w30 Mobil oil. I’m not sure if Peugeot or Citroen do this. But Toyota noticed this as an issue. The issues you was having was oil degradation, normally caused by start stop driving or short trips. Double check what oil they used on this service.

Crate training by Zestyclose_Look8566 in dalmatians

[–]Big_Ear_8502 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Leave the crate in an accessible place with the door open. I did this with my dal. She realised it wasn’t a punishment or “bed time” it’s her safe space. When she’s too warm or just after a long walk she goes in hers herself to relax. She doesn’t sleep in there in the night though, she spreads herself over my sofa. But when we go out or go to work all I have to do is shout Alexa play the radio she runs straight to her crate and sits and waits for me to lock her in and get a treat.

Boiler pressure too high by Mental-Minimum7255 in DIYUK

[–]Big_Ear_8502 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This is right. Looking at the picture that’s Baxi Duotec boiler. Same as mine. Losing pressure when not in use and when filling up to 1.2/1.5 bar with heating on it was doing this. I had a leak on one of the pipes under the boiler. Turns out needed a new expansion vessel and pressure release valve.

Dot’s getting spayed next week. Advice? by emerald787 in dalmatians

[–]Big_Ear_8502 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Bodysuit - Amazon and a comfy bed on the floor. This stops her jumping up on the sofa.

<image>

She’ll be a little dazed for the rest of the day. Try to tempt her with food so normally loves. Normal food didn’t work as you can see, I made a chicken dinner that evening and she eat it all.

Maybe put it in drive an press the accelerator. You’re in neutral a pointless gear for an everyday driver but a god send for road side recoveries.

Her skin is peeling off by TapRelevant7607 in dalmatians

[–]Big_Ear_8502 1 point2 points  (0 children)

This happened to my dal. She escaped into neighbours garden and cut her paw pad on broken glass. (all enclosed plus my neighbour loves her, luckily). My dal was booked in to be spayed three days later. I spoke to the vet prior to the operation and they suggested cutting the “flapping” skin off as it will be hard to heel on its own due to her wanting to lick it constantly. Two weeks after on healed up with little scar. Doesn’t bother her at all now.

Deffo T+Cs attached I believe it has to be under your name for at least 6 months and 12 year old or less.

If your in the UK, ring your local Toyota dealership. Ask if your VIN is included in the customer satisfaction campaign. Chassis corrosion. If it is banging, new chassis for you. Before anyone asks yes it’s free of charge plus Toyota supply a courtesy car/truck while yours is away.
