  7. You really do give us great hints,tips,what to look for,what to do,what not to do etc. Really appreciate your help,Amd. Oh,apparently my 2015 Yaris (UK) has had 3 wheel bearing done,they're weak apparently,front was done some years ago before i purchased it,and very recently i had both rear wheel bearings done. They're weak on them,i researched it,they do roar too,when rev'd up...as my researched also say. But it's a really comfy car,great mpg,got 58mpg coming back from west London to outside N. London.Effortless drive too,responsive and really smooth. I still keep in touch with the last owner when i sold my 2002 Yaris 1.3L auto....that wasn't as comfy,thou.

  9. Knew someone in the building trade here in the UK,doing various jobs on building sites in his teens for 25yrs,earned damn good money, i mean mega money for just a helper. His knees were messed up! 25yrs screwed him up,can't walk properly,health issues with building materials etc. In his early 50's now & he's disabled. Stopped working after 25yrs of course & relying on benefits.

  10. Watched 2 of your videos so far,you're bang on with what you say...bang on! I worked in the trade for many years and Toyota too.

  12. WORTH A READ - Here in the UK our government are hitting us with emissions & that's why we're being forced to buy new/newer cars! Newer vehicles has less CO2 i (Grams/per Km) ie g/km) than older ones, in short the higher the km per 100g the more we pay...which is road tax basically, it's what we call it. But it's really called VED (Vehicle Excise Duty) & we pay that per year or 6 months. Now,my old 2002 Yaris 1.3L 4 speed auto is 157g per km & that cost £255 per year, the 6 speed manual is 138g per 100km at £190, so older autos are so expensive to run. My newer Yaris 1.3L CVT is 114g per km & that's £35 per year (Was £30 last year). Now...just heard EVs here are now being charged after April 1st (April fools day i know). READ THE NEW CHARGES NOW! - From 1 April 2025, drivers of electric vehicles will need to pay for VED – road tax for the first time. For most EV drivers, this will be £195 a year, while drivers of new electric cars with a list price that exceeds £40,000 could pay as much as £620 a year. Many Brits buy EVs for the free road tax & they didn't see it coming! You watch EVs sitting at car dealers even with mega discounts! The 2025 EV road tax changes are as follows: New zero-emission cars registered on or after 1 April 2025 will be liable to pay the lowest first-year rate of VED (which applies to vehicles with CO2 emissions 1 to 50g/km) currently £10 a year. From the second year of registration onwards, they will move to the standard rate, which will be £195 a year after 1 April 2025 Zero emission cars first registered between 1 April 2017 and 31 March 2025 will also pay the £195 standard rate The Expensive Car Supplement exemption for electric vehicles will end on 1 April 2025. New zero emission cars registered on or after 1 April will therefore be liable for the Expensive Car Supplement. The Expensive Car Supplement currently applies to cars with a list price exceeding £40,000 for the first five years the standard rate is paid. This will be £425 a year from 1 April 2025, which means EV drivers with an 'expensive car' will pay £620 per year for road tax Zero and low emission cars first registered between 1 March 2001 and 30 March 2017 currently in Band A will move to the Band B rate, currently £20 a year Zero-emission vans will move to the rate for petrol and diesel light goods vehicles, currently £335 a year for most vans Zero-emission motorcycles and tricycles will move to the rate for the smallest engine size, currently £25 a year

  13. Got a 2025 Yaris 1.3L CVT, £35 road tax & some early models £165 with later models roughly same price (2017 i think). I got 59mpg on a good drive, manual ones with a longer 6th gear ratio as Toyota mentioned, that does 1mpg better i read, never knew an auto or CVT do better MPG than manuals. Did have a 2002 Yaris 1.3L 4speed auto & that was £255 road tax!! With a best of 48mpg. Glad i got a 2015 model.

  14. Many car cams are fussy with the class of memory card,some only like class 10 or class 8....just a heads up out there guys n girls.

  20. My 2015 1.3L Yaris XP150 90,000m needed both rear wheel bearings,heard it was common before i even purchased it. £150 for it to be done,not bad really,parts,labour.
    3
  21. So in some scenarios/instances it's worth digging that bit deeper,like you removing the rocker cover & doing a mechanical timing plus seeing those pieces broken,mystery solved! Great video ❤

  22. Where are LR made now & the engines?

  23. I purchased a car just like on that condition,i would strongly ADVISE after a full proper valet & it's all dry out that you do use/spray with the proper Neutradol Super Fresh Odour Destroyer NOT THE CHEAP STUFF,spray in all the air vents,under the seats,under the boot carpet,in the boot itself & of course inside, Leave for at least 6 hrs & use 1/3 of the can. I repeated this process twice so the horrid smell went completely! Use a air freshener aerosol spray too,it'll get rid of that strong Neutradol that's left behind. The owner will eventually smell that horrid stink in no time & no normal air freshener will get rid of it 😆 I've been cleaning cars for a long time,no Magic tree air freshener is gonna hide the horrid hay bale stench. Worth £750 all day fella. Good video once again 👌

  27. Amd,would you recommend changing my ATF again? I changed mine last month,it was really black! It took 2.2L and i still have approx 2.8L from my 5L bottle. Thanks.
    3
  28. I changed my ATF on my 2002 Yaris (UK) 2NZ-FE 5 yrs ago at 80,000 miles,now has 90,000m,should i change it every 4 or 5 yrs,as i do v.little miles.Thanks.

  29. Worked for Suzuki UK for many years,we "Waved" (Gave for free) a wiper blade for a customer once,he was a nice bloke.One strange experience was after a service,a customer returns and mentions "Why was i charged for a screen wash top up,my screen wash bottle is always full" told him it was part of the service and the manager gave him a concentrated sachet of screen wash,told him that's all we can do.The guy wasn't trying to scam us,was just a querry/concern.hewent away ok,no issues...Oh yeah! heres another one, another customer got their car in for something,can't remember what for,came in with ZERO fuel/petrol in the tank,mechanic said i can't test drive it as it'll break down...i had to put £5...roughly a gallon of petrol in it,fuel station was just over the road....but i put £3 in it instead of £5 lol I found out after getting fuel,the customer said to staff that i'm not wasting my money and petrol for your road test....the lady customer didn't ran out fuel when i watched her driving over the road. Some customers are strange.

  32. WOW!! Some great stories there.Crazy people in their own cray world. I enjoy these stories,thanks.

  33. Amd...Question - could you use 5W-20 instead of 0W-20 for 1NR- FE? (2015 1.3L Yaris) The price difference is £5 for a 5L of Valvoline here in he UK.
    2
  34.  @TheCarCareNut  Thank you so much for the reply.

  35. Read the owners manual! My 2002 Yaris says 4.5000m SEVERE driving/9.000m normal driving. Majority of us drive in heavy traffic,stuck at traffic lights etc FACT.Here in the UK many people got this 12,000m oil change in their heads lol Don't know why.I've always done mine at 6,000m MAX,use decent quality oil but half decent cheap oil filters every year guaranteed.I've used Forte engine flush in 2009 with 67k,it did a brilliant job! Engine ran much better,nicer exceleration etc,i have the same car today still driving sweet as a nut with 100k.
    2
  36. I'm from the UK & have a 2015 Yaris 1.3L CVT, it's cheap to run & gets great mpg,60mpg. Oil filter is £5,air filter £8 & the CVT fluid £70 which is a 5L bottle....each CVT drain is 2.2L so i do it 2x in a week every 5 yrs/50,000m. It's clean-ish with 2x drain & fills. Insurance is cheap too.
    2
  37. Impressive video,worth watching.Bet many don't bother watching this at all,well worth watching and they'll understand the differences. This is the motor trade,this is how it works guys & girls.
    2
  38. 2yrs/21,000 miles is insane! Even AMSOIL wouldn't advise you to do that! With their oil filter MAYBE but JLR use cheap oil filters,don't care what people think,JLR is there to make money. Where are the engines made anyway?? PLUS who remembers the oil changes BMW said in the early 90's?
    2
  39. Many thanks for the advice,hoping for a Toyota Auris v.soon,Yaris hybrid are just too much here atm in the UK.Hope to get a 2011 Auris with 121,000m for £4,000...Yaris are like over £5,500 at least.
    2
  40. Castrol edge or professional are very good oil indeed,worth the money, here in the UK people use just cheap oil it's crazy! Many cars sound like a bag of nails at 100,000m & even less! They use cheap oil & change it every year 10,000 or more! No wonder some brits brive bangers. I use the Castrol Magnatec myself at 5,000m a year. But the Castrol edge or professional will have no issue doing 10,000m a year EVERY year, that's one oil on top of my list.

  41. @4.54 My old Yaris 1.3L 2002 didn't go into 4th gear in the cold weather,i owned it for nearly 13 yrs,but 2 mins of driving it was ok,went into 4th no issue after that. Never had any transmission issues with my 2NZ-FE 4 speed, So anyone out there,this is the norm,i concur with Amd.
    2
  42. Thank you for all the info and history on the Toyota Hybrid, if you think the 4th Gen Hybrid is the one to go for, i will very strongly consider a 2020 Yaris in 2025 for sure! Only gonna buy a Toyota Hybrid.

  43. Every 3 years it's worth cleaning & rejuvenate the leather.

  44. Thank you for the info.

  45. Just changed my plugs after 4 yrs on normal NGK,the tips were just fine,but on the white ceramic it had brown marks,like it was scortched,car ran fine thou.What can cause this?
    2
  46.  @TheCarCareNut  Thank you.

  47. Always changed my oil every year and less than 4,000 miles for 13 yrs,no issues....i still have the car now.It's a 2002 Yaris 2NZ-FE and it's always quiet,smooth and reliable with no issues at all in the years i've owned it. I rarely rag it ie floor it or drive really fast mad.Toyotas are great! P.S Thanks for letting us know the difference with the blue and black sump plug washer,i got the Toyota blue washer,i really assumed they were used once only.So mush useful info in your videos,much appreciated.
    2
  48. £140 😂 I was tempted to get a 2015 Aygo,but they got the rubbish auto🙃gearbox. So i went with the Yaris, wasn't disappointed at all! Got the ICON model with the Satnav,brilliant car. 59mpg was the best i got & it's comfy.

  49. Could you do a video on a Yaris Hybrid?
    2
  50. I'm from the UK (London) Started to watch your channel when you popped up on my suggestion list a few of months ago. We are very thankful & humbled with the effort you put in your videos,incl all the advice you give us. My 1st Toyota was a 2002 Yaris in 2008 and owned it for 13yrs,it was the best car i ever owned,it was awesome!! I now have a 2015 Yaris.i've had alot of cars in the 30yrs of driving, I'm in the car trade (over 30yrs),i worked for Suzuki,Toyota,Daihatsu,Jeep,Chrysler,Vauxhal (GM),Volvo, Mitsubishi,Proton,Lada and Kia in the valeting dept, i have some knowledge of cars.as i do help our mechanics out,so often and they do pass on their experience too. Thank you.

  51. I have a question Amd,whan the car battery is flat and you can either jump start it with a booster or with a charger,is there anything we need to know how to do it.I know where and how to jump start the battery with a booster,just charging it up as it's an automatic.thanks.
    2
  52.  @TheCarCareNut  Oh right,i thought there's a certain procedure as it's a hybrid,charge it like any other non hybrid then :) I have sold my 2002 2NZ-FE 90,000m for £1,000...not bad really.I'm off to my local Toyota dealership here in the UK this week,looking at a 2013 Yaris T4 59,000 miles for £7,000.Thank you for all the advice you've given to me and others on your channel,appreciate it.

  53. Nicely explained and presented ChrisFix. 10/10.

  54. That Forte engine flush is good stuff! Used it twice & worth the money guys! Cheap oil flushes are cheap for a reason, used this stuff twice.

  55. In the UK we have normal Unleaded which is 95Ron & Super Unleaded 97Ron or 98Ron, depends if you go to a supermarket or a big name station like Shell,ESSO or BP. which is the one prefered. Putting higher in octane say every 4th or 5th tank is a good idea.

  56. Hey Geoff! Have you seen the latest vid by DefinitelyNotAGuru? "Latest UK CAR NEWS | August Bank Holiday Special" - I got a feeling this going to grow! SKIP TO 2.20 because an elderly man had a few weeks left on his car ins after his car failed its MOT. He put it on his drive & didn't use it, the court fined him through a "Single justice procedure" a behind closed doors hearing. This will be massive as they'll use "Paper evidence" to make a ruling! Speeding fines,drive while using a mob,red light jumping etc will be done this way now.
    2
  57. Thanks for the video.
    2
  58. Drove a 1999 (I think) ML55 back in 2001at this 4x4 specialist, it was quick & the ride wasn't as hard as it thought, the SL55 is rapid!

  59. Hello from over the pond....England. Really enjoyed this video, well explained & videoed.

  60. Appreciate all the info,i'm really thinking of getting a 2014 Yaris T4 near me here in the UK....£7,000 from a main dealer.

  61. Give it till 2030 & what what happens. No way they'll get their own way,aint gonna happen!

  62. WOW!! Never knew about "Cupping". I recently got THREE-A tyres,drove them for 3 months now,they're ok! They're cheap,but there were cheaper makes which i avoided.

  65. I've now got a UK model 2015 CVT Yaris,1.3L with 88,000 miles, will the jumper wire on the OBD2 be the same on mine as in the states or other other Toyota models? Thanks.

  66.  @TheCarCareNut  Thank you Amd.
    2
  67.  @TheCarCareNut  Sorted! Just done mine, i didn't need to remove the plastic cover or the wheel,but did anyway as i went through your step by step video....realized i didn't need to it,as i have space to tighten the 24mm from the top.I used a hose pipe and funnel to fill it up from the top with the hood open of course.My overflow tube was yellow by the way. Thank you Amd.

  68. Can we have more videos like this.please?

  69. EV tyres cost about £200 EACH! They won't last 3 years so that's something to consider. PLUS you only got a choice of maybe 3 tyre brands.

  70.  @TheCarCareNut  I've never over do the spraying,just enough to soften any residue,spray some on a rag too & then wipe.Oh btw, i just double checked my ATF level on my Cvt (2015 Yaris) & it's definitely not worth doing another ATF change,it's half decent with a touch of red still. It's spot on with the level. Thanks for all the responses and advice. The do's,the dont's with all the explanation to why really helps us,incl what to look out for & all the hints n tips are awesome!!

  71. I've always used Prestone and changed it 4 yrs.

  77. You know the BEST oil flush/engine cleaner i ever used? Back in 2001 i got this thing called ASTAL3000 from the QVC channel for my 1988 Merc 190E with 115,000m, the timing chain could be seen when removing the oil cap & it was real bad & dirty. You gotta drive 500 miles thou for it to work proper as per instructions. It came as a pair of oil flush & fuel cleaner....and boy did it do a fantastic job, timing chain was like new! Drove fantastic too. I also used FORTE on my 2002 Yaris 1.3L auto with 70,000m back in 2008,thing was i drove it home with it in the oil & the fuel additive like for 4 miles! Instructions say do not drive,run for 15mins i think. Half way home the car started to kangaroo & idled poorly, i stopped & put it in neutral for 5 secs then it cleared,it idled better & drove better.....way better! Drove it the rest home & it was fantastic,better throttle & performance,changed the oil in the morning of course. I worked at a garage so purchased the FORTE there as it's hard to get hold off even back then. I mentioned the kangaroo/idle issue to the mechanic he said driving it is even better. Kept & owned the Yaris for a further 14yrs with no issues whatsoever.

  82. Thought this was a Scotty Kilmer clickbait 😜I v.rarely buy on sites like that & always read reviews on those 2 big selling sites 😏 Plus i look to see if it got a Chinese address at the bottom page EVEN thou it may say "Collection" then the address or "Dispatches from".🙂

  85. This is a bonus of a find!! I myself is really in the middle of selling it or keeping it,difficult situation thou as this one as it's a £500 profit car fella. Shame about the price for the Fiat wheel trim off ebay.

  86. My 2002 Yaris 1.3L 4 speed auto 2NZFE was utterly reliable,i really like it and had it for 13yrs,sad it had to go recently.Have a 2015 Yaris 1.3L Cvt 1NRFE now,i like do it.

  87. I have a 2015 Yaris 1.3L with a CVT,it's brilliant!! One thing i didn't check up on is all the Yaris's sold here in the UK are not made in Japan,except the SR model. SR is a bit more pricey thou,i got the ICON model, which i got and preffered,the ICON+ has extra stuff like climate control,cruise control,rear electric windows & rain sensors i think.

  88. Can i just change my oil every year at max of 3,000 miles,be ok on my 2002 Yaris with 95,000 miles 2NZ-fe,with half decent oil,not cheap oil? ie Magnatec here in the UK.

  89. That would take over 4hrs of their time scrolling through CCTV as you say which they don't wanna do,they just want an easy arrest,easy statements,easy detective work & easy guilty plea. That's 4 hrs of trying to catch motorist going over 4mph in a 30 or 30 zone.....imagine how much revenue they get out of that? :face-green-smiling: Police wants to make profit.

  90. Brilliant video.

  91. I've been in the car industry for over 30yrs.....there are people like this out there! One funny time i witnessed a customer moaning & walking around the car moaning,pointing at the v.light scuffs,scratches on the alloys & not so brilliant paint work. The salesman acted v.professionally & jotted down all her issues. When it came to her P/X the salesman also walked round her car jotting many things down,pointing at the issues in front of her....she was shocked at the P/X price! Her car was in a not so good state 😂 No,she didn't buy anything!
