New from UK

[Dave]

Would you believe it, after some weeks of saying that I wasn’t eligible due to only having ncd from a commercial vehicle, Toyota Insurance have offered me cover. Thanks to my dealer, I have a quote. Not as low as I was expecting, but better than nothing. They also say that it should be available on the insurance database by end of today………..not so far, but I’ll check again tomorrow, before accepting their cover. Should have the car by Friday!

Great news mate you,ll love it i,m sure

[Dave]

[Toyoda]

Seems to be on whichever database compare the market uses…

Good news KevD, sounds like you’ll have to cancel the Toyota Insurance once the other insurers get their act together which judging by Toyoda’s recent post, won’t be long.

Thanks Dave, finally a 3-pin plug after two generations of the 150 series being sold in the UK with the Euro 2-pin style…..!!

 

[Toyoda]

Shame it’s not 2400w like the US models.

 

[Strad]

Guess that’s the hybrid system, I’ll stick with the diesel engine all the same!

 

[flyingtrotter]

Do you guys get the brake controller on the right of the steering wheel like the US models

My FE hasn’t got that - doesn’t make any difference but I was surprised it’s not there - same with tow bar prep at the rear which is missing

That's interesting, some comparison sites have it listed whilst others don't.

Those that currently include it are: Compare the Market, Money Supermarket and Quidco Compare. All these have provided quotes to me with exactly the same insurance providers. Compare the Market being the cheapest.

Confused.com, Go Compare and my current company that insure my other car all don't have it yet. I will try these again tomorrow morning. Hopefully their databases update overnight.

Seven of the C the M quotes are cheaper than Toyota Insurance.

And for Flyingtrotter's benefit, Admiral are the cheapest!

 

[flyingtrotter]

Just my luck - moved from Admiral on Friday and collected the FE on Sat

Can always move back next year

Aaah mines doing a DPF regen about every 100 miles I told the Dealership when they had it in but seem to have ignored me /it ?? interesting is it something they cannot fix / answer ??

A new car will do this until it’s learned its own parameters usually around 6-10 regens before they settle.

Yes, I did see that thanks Dave. It shows that all the rear features should automatically turn off when it detects the trailer, presumably from the electrical connection. I will test that when I have mine.

For anyone seeking insurance quotes (in the UK) on the LCFE who don't have it on their system give them the following abi code to allow a quote: 50078016. I obtained this from Thatcham.

Looks great

Those of you who have collected FEs

- did you get a leather key cover

- does your vehicle have the brake controller on the right of the steering wheel like

mine doesn’t
