I would not purchase any British made product except a Rolls Royce. I helped a friend adjust the clutch on his Jaguar once. It took all day.

On another point. My 2012 Toyota Tacoma has a MAINTENENCE REQUIRED light that comes on when it is due for an oil change. I told the dealer to turn it off and make sure it never comes on again. They send they can only reset it. I think they were fibbing.

Your owner’s manual should tell you how to reset that light. My 2007 4Runner manual does.

RE: the Tacoma maint required light.

That’s your time-to-change-the-oil indicator. It starts blinking about 4,500 miles after the last reset; at 5,000 miles, it stays on solid. You can’t set it to where it won’t come on, but you can reset it yourself:

The Tacoma has the regular odometer readout, and it has 2 trip odometers (A & B). The reset procedure is to (with the truck off and the key out) select the “Trip A” odometer, then push and hold it while you insert the key and turn it to “ON” (not “Start”, “ON” - where the dash lights all come on). Keep holding it for at least 5 seconds - the light should reset and stay off until you go another 4500 miles.
