    That’s good news on mats - thanks I emailed the dealer and he’s looking to get me a set He also said he will have the reg number soon - when I get that I will retry the insurance situation - having a registration number ought to assist albeit having the VIN didn’t !

    I suspect that is the same for a number of others like Admiral who would cover the previous models Your route via Thatchem is interesting as one of the assistants at one insurer said they needed real world UK on the road data to become available before being able to carry out a rating which is...

    We are now on P23 so it’s a long string but I have posted multiple times about my own challenges with insurance which to a degree mirror your own In essence no rating of the new model means it’s invisible on the main systems as the on line sites permits quotes on listed (ie rated) vehicles...

    We have quite a small but active group posting about the UK scene - basically looking forward to the imminent arrival of our LCs - should be 6 or so showing in UK but none show

    So those of you more in the know what do you think I need if I will have the 3rd row seats flat and a dog box in the back behind second row Front and 2 nds row mats obviously - then is it a set or 3 rd row and the trunk liner or does the trunk liner go all the way from the back of the second...

    I can’t even get a serious answer about availability of rubber mats

    If Toyota UK is to be believed they delivered 145k units in the UK in 2023 - if that’s right 250-300 LCFEs ( cant many more surely) is a very small number of vehicles for Toyota and surely they ought to be able to PDI them at the factory and deliver them to the dealers pretty much across the...

    We in the UK have the price uplift and it’s a pain not driving before buying and not knowing when it’s arriving and insurance and and and …. But could be worse - the grenadier folk have production on hold due to the recaro seat issue with the supplier in financial trouble and the vehicle type...

    I’m supposed to be 18/10 at dealer but I guess we will find out when we find out - mid Oct morphing into 18/10 has been quite consistent for me

    What do you guys think about the cooler box tray some folk in the US have created to sit in the top of the central cubby under the arm rest ? I have the tray in my L322 and it’s great for keys and other stuff so quite fancy one Does anyone use a 3D printer ? Might be good to produce a run...

    Yep I did and yes it’s a little concerning - not long now until I can test it myself

    It’s on the options list withJLR - presumably Toyota Insurance didn’t raise it as an issue

    Does the FE come with a tracker ? It’s obviously a question asked by insurers and with other vehicles I have known the spec in detail - with the LC FE I have no idea what it has - any ideas guys

    Just rechecked and the 250 is still not showing online so suspect we will remain in the position of needing to get one off quotes as you have done Will let you guys who are getting cars in the next week or so address coverage first - hopefully it will cause them to resolve the issues

    Bloody hell - I started this thread weeks ago and you solved one of my issues in your first post - well done - I am also with admiral and have been struggling with them and with Toyota trying to achieve exactly what you seem to have managed - getting underwriters to focus in this issue and make...

    Should have mine on current projections in around 3 weeks time - supposedly at dealer Fri 18 Oct so as away shooting that weekend looking to collect in the following week - hopefully the UK 2.8L diesel powered variant will make us all happy - Dave seems to be the first in line to collect one

    Center Console Organizer Tray (for cool box edition)

    presume they are light - what would they cost to ship to the Uk ? Would like one

    Sad admission - I watched that YouTube with the guy doing a factory visit - I have been to a few car factories in different countries inc super car places in Italy - the Tahara was impressive but they didn’t show the other places to offer a comparison - long way from the smoking area in the...

    Does everyone that has a VIN number have a K as 11th character meaning as I understand it that the LC was built in the Hino Motors plant in Hamura - not had a Toyota but other folk seem to get excited about the Tahara factory that seems to have the top reputation for quality As long as it is...

    My dealer is saying once the vehicle is on the way they can order stuff so I am likely to get a set of rubber mats - don’t want muddy boots from a shoot messing up carpet and rubber mats just feel right Anyone having theirs ceramic coated - tempted - doesn’t seem like there is any scope to...

    Ok No reg No yet but I do now have a VIN No - no progress yet on the insurance - I guess you Dave will be pioneering for the rest of us on insurance

    Dave are you buying from a dealer in the “Severn Valley” as a VK is a plate from that region - if you are not it suggests they are registered at port of entry in Bristol

    Just rechecked with admiral (who use that awful online system for vehicle change quotes) and there is still no 2024 Landcruiser 250 showing whether FE or invincible (however spelt) on their drop down Hopefully those getting UK delivery before me will be able to push forward the insurance...

    That’s great to see the spec - seems pretty clear now the 2 models are vertically identical - different lights, colours, wheel size and few trim differences but fundamentally they are the same and £5k seems to buy you almost nothing at all that “represents value” in hard terms - I’m happy as...

    The UK Order thead

    I am being told delivery of my Sand FE on 18/10 Looking across both UK strings on this forum it seems we have maybe 6 FEs ordered by people posting and 2 folk trying to get Invincibles - not sure about Toyoda order status or other people’s delivery dates Dave Blue FE - 27/09 KevD FE - 09/10...
