That's nice!! ENJOY!!

I've also had great co-operation from my dealer's service manager too, and my car's a lot naughtier than just a Scoobie zorst...

They did my 30k service last week, and were quite happy to skip stuff which I asked them to leave alone, and to do additional work for my own account.
Like change the gearbox oil (R205 incl labour). Surprisingly, a diff oil change is part of the 30k service, but not gearbox oil - weird...

I have a totally open relationship with them.
They know exactly what mods I've done, they know that I track my car, they know that I take responsibility for the mods I've done, and that I'd never try to pull a fast one on them. But they also know that, if they unreasonably deny a warranty claim for a non-drivetrain problem, then I'll rip their hearts out - LOL.

Many folks are highly critical of their dealers.
I have nothing but praise - they've been good to me, and they've done quality work.

All I have to do ahead of a service is ask them to print out the TIS service doc for me, then I mark on it what they must do, and what they can skip.

There is also a very cheap method to stop CEL, fit a spacer to the sensor, problem solved.
thx will try the spacer. ..I still run normal Toyota flash and think Ecutech will be able to disable O2 sensor...but getting ecutect support here in Cape Town is a challenge.

We use the Toyota software and we configure it on the flash map.. on 3rd party software like Ecutech or Uniq...strait as it comes from the shop..so it work but as it is writtin for NA i believe software like uniq or ecutect would still improve my tunning options as it is writting for turbo setups.
Hope I answer your question.
