    Any Toyota experts out there?

    UK reg shows vehicle as a D-4D 2.0 TR with TR being the spec whereas when changed to paddy plates is showing up as an Overmount TR. Whats the overmount about?

    Also, does anybody know where I could ge tthe TR spec for 2009 / 2010 handy ?

    I think it's a vrt thing, there's no reference to over mount anywhere except Irish dealers selling uk cars.

    Re the specs, you could use autotrader on a used tr, or you could go onto toyota.co.uk and view past brochures going back about 10 years.

    Purrrrrrfect. Cheers Colm

    No a young lady I know wants one as its her "dream car" *cough*

    Reg checked UK reg plates and got TR but Paddy plates gave me the over bit which confused me....

    The overmount is something ive seen on the v5 of the tourer(estate) one. Just seems to be whats on the uk system but aint listed on any HPI checks but does show on an Irish database.

    Well how we're those lovely fords? Any of them stand out?! I actually didn't go today, my mechanic cancelled on me as an emergency came in, and plus the no paddle thing gave me second thoughts for a bit. But tbh I don't really care bout that anymore. But in the meantime I've been talking to a guy on vagdrivers who's interested in my car and he has a 06 gti, looks great so gonna view that Thursday or Friday, very excited!

    Sounds good but imo view Keiths car anyway if you can.

    Also yes one car stood out and pending mechanical inspection we have an agreement. :pac:

    I did that day in the 325i. That's what started my e30 addiction. I bought my car a couple of months afterwards!

    He does indeed. Not sure what part though. Have seen the Octy around a lot too.
