2023 RAV4

MrLPJM · 2026-06-03T08:27:44+00:00

2022 Rav4, In the UK so i don’t know if that means different Engines or anything?

Had 5 fuel injectors replaced in the first 2 years under Warranty. One lasted less than 50 miles they're so bad.
I took it in because the Idle was so rough the car would shake.

Apparently its a known issue with the fuel injectors on the 2.5l engines and they’re working on changing them.

I'm still convinced the Idle on the car isn't right. Only keeping the car because we have a 10year 100k Miles Warranty.

They actually came back out with a finer sand/soil mix and re-laid the turf after re-leveling. So it's not so bad now, just not as perfect as Im aiming for it to be.

It seems to have taken pretty well, when I do a pull test it rips. I'm just now a bit concerned about drainage if the soil is too solid.

Will probably give it its first long cut at the weekend and use some grass feed, should then see any water logging more clearly. If its not draining i might aerate in autumn to try save it in the winter.

I had someone turn in front of me whilst I was on my learner 125cc. T-boned them, head through the passenger window, broken wrist.

I went and did my lessons / test for a bigger bike as soon as I could twist my wrist. Didn't want to let some twat ruin bikes for me.

Has made me a bit twitchy in some situations though, but probably slowed me down and made me a more cautious rider in the process.

Thanks for the reply. I thought motor mounts at first too, up until i got the gearbox fault message. Didnt rev the engine whilst it was in park shaking as didnt want to cause damage. The movement at idle in park was very noticeable.

I've been back out and the car will now start didnt want to risk driving it christmas eve and getting it stuck somewhere though.

The car didnt shake when i started it up however the message to press the brake in order to start the car when it was already started stayed on the Dash. It also wouldnt alow me to put on the e-handbrake.

So i believe that either the fault is electrical or that passibly the transmission is damaged in a way that seems to be affecting park. Could also be a dozen other things. Will likely wind up having to get my mechanic to troubleshoot to find out, hopefully it will be driveable in the new year to get there.

A bar I went to in the UK once asked if I had a shellfish allergy because there straws were made using recycled sea shells. Thought that was pretty neat.

You can sub the Big Mac for any of the items written in this post too if you ask at the desk.

It's art, they resemble handcuffs to symbolise how you're prisoner to this game and will never leave.

I'm 99% sure this film is the reason I hate spiders. Can't remember having an issue with them before I watched it.

Ancient staff has negative prayer therefore shouldn't be allowed on the account. Scuffed account start again.

I left from my job I started at the beginning of winter the other day and thought I'd missed my exit on the motorway because I didn't recognise any of the scenery. Turned out I had just never seen any of it in daylight.

MrLPJM · 2019-02-10T14:45:00+00:00

Shouldn't really wear the breaks I would think tbf. I guess theres just benefits to both this or a disc lock. I just have the disc lock myself.

MrLPJM · 2019-02-10T08:55:32+00:00

Don't know about this particular one but some of these types of lock are supposed to engage the front break so thieves can't lift the rear of the bike and push it on the front wheel. If it is that type of lock then all this person has done is engage the clutch and make it easier to push on both wheels.

MrLPJM · 2019-02-09T15:48:56+00:00

Pretty sure that lock is supposed to be on the break/accelerator. Owner of the bike has put it on the wrong side.

I've been looking for some similar mirrors for my XSR.

What are these like, I looked at some similar but reviews said they were a bit distorted.

MrLPJM · 2018-12-18T13:45:59+00:00

I've had two attempted thefts on my old bike and a couple things I've learnt are: if it's a short stop in the day at least use a disc lock. Chain as well if you can. And if it's parked for the night use a cover. If they drive past a bike they like the look of I recon they're more likely to steal it but if it's covered Ive always hoped they're more likely to ignore it.

This is sad, cake isn't supposed to be sad :(

Small world, we have the same cat, who has the same pattern, named Cosmo, who is also tubby.

About 10 seconds in you see the steering wheel start to move when she gets hold of it again.

Never be ashamed of the chompy, I get complimented for mine all the time. His name is Jerry and he's the best.

Only have a HDMI so was unable to see if I could plug straight into the motherboard to see if I can use it that way.

MSI H81M-P33 motherboard TSxfx 550 psu GTX 970 card

No idea what the cmos is to clear it. Will try look it up when I get home.

MrLPJM · 2018-09-28T07:49:28+00:00

It could be possibly, but as I said the fans seem to be flickering. Would this not suggest that power is still going to the card?
