Car has a key.

Thanks for the quick reply CT I will get that tested first thing.

Thanks lots will post back and let you know how I get on.
>;o)

Also when driving the car after I first bought it in auto mode when it changes gear the car seems to slow down between gear changes is this normal?
The garage told me it is and its an old gentleman who is very highly regarded where I live who runs the garage as being honest that sold me the car.
In manual mode the slow down doesnt occur.

That's a question someone else with a semi-auto will have to answer.

Ms

Went out in the morning and started first time.

This isnt the first time the exact same thing has happened it just seems to be leave the car for a few hours and then it will start.

Am going to buy Obd Bluetooth scanner I have seen on ebay to find the fault code before I return it to the garage for a check.

Seems it might be the ECU according to the garage.

Thanks again

Ivana

Unless the "Check Engine" light is on, an OBD scanner won't tell you anything. You would really need the Toyota specific tool (AKA TechStream) to be able to find out, when it won't start, what is happening. The OBD tools just check the ECM fault codes that are related to emissions.

The round circle with the exclamation mark is coming on and was on so I presume this is the engine / ecu warning light?
