Their hospital is a bag of s***e if you beleive the papers. Having worked in the health service I tend to believe the papers.

More fur flying - GM in the states have to recall about 1.2 million small cars with a power steering fault, and the component in question is made by a firm who have Toyota as their majority shareholder.  Naturally, GM are planning to sue the arriss off Toyota over the expense of the recall, and the harm to it's reputation, which is further going to hit Toyota groups worthiness as a business.

All manufacturers suffer recalls, but Toyota really are having an unfortunate run of luck and really need to raise their game.  Had they simply become complacent?  Ideas on a faulty Toyota component to:

Have Toyota lost the plot
c/o Dog and Slag enterprises
Suite 69
Throttle Pedal House
Clio Lane, Herts.

Surely that must be wrong on 2 counts, they don't do 'small' cars in US and US cars are well know for being rubbish at turning corners as well 

See 2 points any worthwhile US lawyer could use in Toyotas defence.

Seriously though, this whole recall thing is just a big game of blame tennis  , and this time it is GM blaming Toyota

I'm not an especial fan of yank tanks, but to be fair to GM i'd have a bit of a downer on Toyota if there business was cositing me tens of millions of dollars and tarnishing my reputation.  It's a good thing Toyota Us aren't based in Texas, cos they'd have been hung by a posse by now.

hi, again, sorry to bring up an old post.

but , would i be able to tell if my car has been recalled and looked at?

iv checked my service book but nothing is logged in about a recall,  apart from the 22nd july this year the last servixe was sept 09.

Also how could i tell if i have esp? (my 107 is a tronic auto)

thanks

I'd ring a dealer they should tell you.

The ESP should light up and then disappear on start up like the other lights if you've got it I think.

I have ESP .... I have Toyota Total Recall too....

[pamela1976]

thanks ian. im defo gonna ring in the morning. 

As in Arnie and the eyeball popping film soffit?   

[pamela1976]

well, it aint got esp. could i have it put on?

[ian789]

well, it aint got esp. could i have it put on?

I don't think you can but i'm only 19 so don't have a clue about anything.

The 107s got ABS and Brakeforce distribution as well as Cornering Stability Control which is sort of ESP. So enough to see you through in most situations

To be honest unless you go flying into corners far too quick you won't use or need it and its just another thing to go wrong. It may come in handy on snow.
