New from UK

[Dave]

Looks great Dave

So maybe we will need to get the 2025 upgrade pack of lights or I’ll add an aftermarket mobile light - I need to fabricate a platform for the dog box can maybe add lights into that

On the LO3’s looks like the 265/65R 18’s are coming but the UK suppliers seem to still be selling KO2’s

Will probably keep the LC on the stick until the KO3’s are available next year

Just noticed we don’t get the heavier duty engine/ sump guards

What - no tailgate lights and cheaper sump guards for effectively 20k more than the US - wow what’s going on

What tyres are you looking at ? 265/70/18 is an awkward size

Two years ago I got the 16% BASC discount and paid £51k-ish. Now with a few extras the Invincible is the best part of £80k with much the same kit and same engine!
Perfect sense!

Welcome to the forum

If you read back in this string you will find

Toyota insurance will issue quotes now - but depending on area you may need an extra Immobiliser

Toyota released a notice via dealers on Friday admitting that the LC is not rated for instance and they say they are working with Thatchem and it will be by 21 October at which point other insurers should be willing to quote

I have a Toyota quote but will check if my current insurer Admiral or another can quote competitively before I decide what to do

View attachment 14535

I have just received an update on the insurance issue from Toyota UK customer relations which gives a longer timescale than the dealer update. Hopefully the shorter timescale of 21st Oct is the more accurate. It reads:

“I have raised this internally to which this has been escalated to help facilitate a resolution. Unfortunately, Toyota GB have not yet received all the vehicle data from TME/TMC to be able to apply for Insurance Group Ratings. We now however have indicative figures as a best case backup plan to support customers.”

However, what this means for customers is ratings within the next 2-3 weeks unfortunately, so obtaining quotes may be difficult during this period until the ratings are published and in circulation amongst insurers.”

The good news for today is that my FE has actually arrived at the dealer this morning.

You won’t be disappointed guys!

Same colour we are collecting tomorrow, I assume the mud guards are included as standard?

Just visited my dealer to take a look

Any pics of inside the boot area, to compare to the US models that have the raised floor for the hybrid battery?

Thanks

Sorry Toyoda, couldn’t get into the boot as they haven’t pdi’d it yet, so the fuse wasn’t in that works the central locking.

I’m Worcester so that would ring true with VK I cancelled my option of an FE as I want the invincible which originally I ordered back in June to be told I wouldn’t get, so let my chance of a sand FE go for someone else to enjoy.

How you liking it so far ?

 

[KevD]

Same as mine

Yes, exactly the same. Even arrived without the towbar that I ordered! The dealer has one coming in the next few days and will fit it themselves for the original option price. I certainly can’t complain at the service received from my dealer.

KevD do you have the more flimsy sump guard etc
