I'm a bit disappointed with the Yaris at the moment, I know it's built in France but that shouldn't compromise Toyota reliability!!

The drivers window rattles annoyingly when it's up, which they've said they'll change the seal that's buggered - now the passenger window squeals as it goes up and there are verticle scratch marks on it!! Hope they can do that as well.

But worse than that is it turns over slowly and takes 4 or 5 cranks to start it. The interior light dims when the hazards are on!!! And today I had the air con on for the first time and it developed a nasty misfire!!!! Is this all battery related or something else? Is it just a weak engine issue? Mr T said they checked the battery and it holds a charge etc so they won't change it.

Which engines in it Trev?

The french ones aren't as good as the Japanese built ones but that shouldn't make that much difference!

How many miles?

1.3 SR on about 48k.

It stumbles a bit when the cooling fan kicks in as well, not sure if it has an equivalent to ETCS on it or not?
