I would like to point out at this stage, that this is a personal website, and has no affiliation in any shape or form to either any Toyota company, nor indeed any other manufacturer or any company I've included a link to. However, there are some discount opportunities that have been negotiated with a few companies see the Special Offers page.

The sort of information that is in demand is:

• Reliable service facilities
• Parts suppliers
• Spare parts used by you, (price, make, part number, supplier etc.)
• Good bodyshops etc.
• Problems encountered, and how they were solved, if indeed they have been!
• Insurance companies used and premium paid

This is important, I do get a lot of enquiries, and there are some that I just can't answer, particularly mechanical type questions, as I am no mechanic. So the more information of this type that you feed me, then the more useful this site shall become, especially in answering the type of queries that people want to know the answer to. It's easy, just click on the revolving e-mail icon in the left panel, and send me what you have to say.

I also regularly get asked if I can recommend companies, whether for parts supply, servicing or whatever. These are very sensible and understandable questions, however, I cannot recommend companies that I have not had first hand experience of, I'm sure you will understand that. But, if you have had good or indeed bad experiences of companies you've used, then as I said above - let me know, then we will all know!

Also, if you have a query, please feel free to ask me, the chances are that you are not the only one who wants to know the answer. If I can't answer it, I will post it on the Can You Help? page, and someone out there will provide an answer. The question and answer will then be moved to the FAQ page to help future visitors to the site.

One small thing I would ask, is that if I have offered some advice or guidance, I would appreciate knowing how you get on. This is perhaps one of the most important sources of information for me, so go on, mail me again so I know how you've got on.

If there is any information that you believe to be factually wrong, please contact me and I will correct it or remove it as necessary. Also, if there are any links that should be removed or you would like added, again please let me know and again I shall add/remove them as required.

• The Emina is a higher-grade model than the Lucida.
• You are not allowed to import the standard Estima, because it is the direct equivalent of Toyota's Previa, and the government does not allow that sort of competition.
• The cornering lights found on most models have been described as extra fog lights!
• Toyota do not make a 4 wheel drive model
• The Lucida is smaller than the Emina.

Need I say more? I have a very low regard for the second hand car trade, I realise that this situation is not new, but they give genuine dealers a bad name.
