Coolant temperature sensor if the climate is colder than normal?
Crankshaft position sensor may be faulty or contaminated connector -
Air conditioning system health check and regas possibly?
-
Have you had the battery checked for condition and charge as this can cause the systems to go offline
-
Is the vehicle battery in very good condition and have a full charge?
-
Have you tested for exhaust leak (air being drawn in before or immediately after the cats?
Smallest amount of unregulated air can cause this symptom
Measure the oxygen content at the exhaust = should be zero (0) in O2 content
Also briefly block the exhaust with a rag and listen for any hissing from the exhaust components -
It seems a common fault around the world as long as there is scrap value in the precious metals within the cats.
There are stocks of cats in some aftermarket companies and I believe some use different materials to achieve the same catalytic conversion which will help in the long term as no value to theives -
Worth checking the wiring as it goes into the tailgate from the body as this can cause breaks in the wires as the tailgate opens and closes and articulates the wiring loom

Alarm
in Rav 4 Club
Battery condition poor, low voltage and setting the alarm off?
-
It may be worth looking at the wiring loom that comes through from the bulkhead area (A post) into the door as this articulates when the door is opened and closed and could have broken a wire?
-
I would be looking at the thermostat area as this is what has been recently disturbed
Let us know what you find
-
It may be possible through dealer level programming but not sure there is any other way (insurance purposes I would imagine)
-
Wow! had to look that one up as never seen one before, looks quite unique
Somewhat like the Ford P100 camper of a similar era -
Thanks for sharing the information it certainly looks good and not too blinding for oncoming motorists

Is the servicing up to date and even tire pressures make a difference to the economy
-
hi and welcome to the club
what an absolutely superb Supra, brings back memories of when cars used to look different and were instantly recognisable when driving past
Good luck with servicing and keeping it on the road
-
Sounds like there is an intake leak from the engine and you are losing vacuum for the brake booster and also engine performance relates to this fault as well
-
Most manufacturers artificially increased the economy claims by various means and although the vehicles can obtain the higher figure it does take a lot of doing, e.g. at night, with no traffic, less fuel in the tank, no passengers, etc, etc
-
I would definitely take the car to the Toyota dealership to diagnose as you are dealing with Hydrogen gas which although not necessarily unstable within the fuel cell would still need to be checked to be on the safe side
-
There were issues with Toyota sourced airbags (from China) which resulted in a massive recall (in Europe) of many vehicles from different manufacturers all using the same sourced airbags.
This may have led to difficulty finding the new supply of airbags that hadn't been earmarked for recallUsed Airbags (e.g. not deployed or been damaged in accident - so stolen/recovered, etc) are acceptable for re-use in Europe (certainly in the UK) and there are dealers who legally trade in them

That would be very expensive indeed.
maybe find a good independent garage to carry out the necessary work and prioritize the list to do the most essential items first
