    I believe its potentially worthwhile to try and and refuel at the same servo wherever thats possible (not possible on long trips I know), keep th erecepits (or use a fuel card) ..at least you will have a good record of where and when you purchased fuel just in case there is an issue with water in the furel or the injectors. Sometyhing to keep in mind anyway

      You just have to push harder if the say they can't do it.

      Even in the back of the manual it's listed as an option which can be disabled.

      I'm glad they did mine, I used to wrap seat belt around back of seat and clip it in to stop the chime: meant I wore it even less.

        I thought you meant the door chime, having done accident rescue for a long time I think not wearing a seatbelt is just stupid.

          And what defines a full tank?

          My dealer thought 90L was a full tank, as the Prado has two tanks. You have to watch them.

            Check for paint/panel damage, I picked mine up last week and it had a chip just below the roof rails, spoke to the manager and he said he will fix it. But.... I will always know that the chip was there and it will never be the same how do you repair a chip without getting it looking like new??. The vehicle got detailed that day and suprise suprise no one noticed it!! I am thinking I will just touch it up and forget about it, I am sure in a week or two there will be more anyway.
            Cheers
