sorted ! , using a jump lead to extend the -ve to the recommended jump start lug on the other side of the engine
Cables should be as shorter as possible, you must reduce the resistance.
Then, the negative clamp can be attached at the negaive lead (not the battery lead, the metallic part "after" the battery sensor, what enlighted in green is ok) or at every metallic part of the engine (block or head are ok): the positive clamp is ok on the battery lead, you can open or remove the red protection cover.

I had something similar. This was on the extreme rear of the roof panel, alongside the high-level brake light, see pic. I got my local equivalent of "Chips Away" to look at it, he pointed out that there was quite a large area of repaired paintwork around it. I've had the car from new, and to my knowledge there's been no repair work in that area, so it looks like it was done before delivery. My guess is that, realistically, some panels will get damaged in the factory so they must have some repair scheme for that. In this case it hasn't lasted as long as it should. I suppose I could have got the dealer involved under the 10 year paint warranty, but in this case it'd be his word against mine about whether I'd had a bodged repair done and frankly life's too short. Couple of hundred quid to my local man fixed it.

Anyone any ideas?

My guess is the damage was caused by the dealers advertisng plate  vibrating against the paintwork causing some slight damage, plus it was also trapping rain/wash water for  longer than normal at the damaged site. Made worse because hatchback tailgates pick up more than their fair share of gritty, salty road dirt. 

If water has penetrated  underneath the laquer layer  ,or worst still attacked the base colour or primers   I think it will only get worse unless its rubbed down to near enough bare metal   and the rust treated and relaquered  in some way .

On the plus side, rather than having to colour match and blend a large area of metallic paint and laquer  You could possibly just paint  the affected area, perhaps reproducing the  shape of the dealers plate . That way you could use any suitable colour you have to hand,including black .

 . If you chose to replace the dealers plate to hide your repairs  you could try bending it slightly so it doesnt contact the paintwork   , but it might still trap water.  Same if you tried padding  it with foam  sticky trim fixing tape etc.

Introduction:

Owning a Toyota Corolla is a testament to reliability and efficiency. However, like any vehicle, even the beloved Corolla isn't immune to its fair share of common problems. Whether you're a proud Corolla owner or considering purchasing one, it's crucial to be aware of these issues to ensure a smooth driving experience. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into some of the most frequent problems encountered by Toyota Corolla owners and explore potential solutions.

1. Toyota Corolla Transmission Issues:

One of the most reported problems with the Toyota Corolla involves transmission issues. Owners have reported instances of rough shifting, slipping gears, or even complete transmission failure. These issues can be caused by various factors, including low transmission fluid levels, worn-out clutch plates, or faulty solenoids.

2. Toyota Corolla Engine Oil Consumption Issues:

Some Toyota Corolla models are known for excessive engine oil consumption. This problem often manifests as the need to add oil between scheduled oil changes, which can be concerning for owners. The underlying causes may range from worn piston rings to valve seal leaks. Regular maintenance and monitoring of oil levels are essential to prevent engine damage.

3. Toyota Corolla Suspension and Steering Issues:

Another common complaint among Corolla owners is related to suspension and steering problems. This could include issues such as uneven tire wear, steering wheel vibration, or knocking noises when going over bumps. Faulty struts, worn-out bushings, or misaligned wheels are potential culprits behind these issues.

4. Toyota Corolla Electrical System Issues:

Electrical system malfunctions can plague Toyota Corolla models, leading to issues with components such as power windows, door locks, or even the entire electrical system. These problems may stem from faulty wiring, corroded connectors, or malfunctioning switches. Proper diagnosis by a qualified technician is essential to address these issues effectively.

5. Toyota Corolla Brake Issues:

Braking issues are not uncommon in Toyota Corollas, with complaints ranging from squealing brakes to premature wear of brake pads and rotors. Factors contributing to these problems may include driving habits, poor brake maintenance, or underlying mechanical issues. Regular brake inspections and timely replacements are vital for maintaining braking performance and safety.

6. Toyota Corolla Air Conditioning Failures Issues:

Some Toyota Corolla owners have reported issues with the air conditioning system, such as inadequate cooling or complete system failure. Common causes of these problems include refrigerant leaks, faulty compressors, or electrical issues. Proper maintenance of the HVAC system, including regular inspections and refrigerant recharge, can help prevent these issues.

7. Toyota Corolla Excessive Rust and Corrosion:

Rust and corrosion can affect the structural integrity and appearance of Toyota Corolla models, especially in regions with harsh weather conditions or road salt exposure. Common areas prone to rust include the wheel wells, undercarriage, and door panels. Regular washing and waxing, along with addressing any paint chips or scratches promptly, can help mitigate rust formation.

8. Toyota Corolla Dashboard Display Problems Issues:

Some Toyota Corolla owners have experienced issues with the dashboard display, such as flickering screens, malfunctioning gauges, or complete display failure. These problems may be attributed to faulty wiring, software glitches, or defective display units. Seeking assistance from a qualified technician or dealership can help diagnose and resolve these issues effectively.

Honda Jazz Mk3 2015 - 2020 / Re: paint bubbling / lacquer peeling
« Last post by Wilmo on Today at 07:21:00 AM »
interesting that it's peeling around the parking sensor, suggests that has been out/replaced and chipped the lacquer.

try asking the supplying dealer about it as there doesn't seem to be any evidence of a recent bump from the photos.

I agree it looks like a poor repair job.  The respray may have been done privately to sort out some relatively minor  cosmetic damage without involving an insurance claim.    As such the Honda dealership would have been unaware of any previous 'history '  unless it should have been visually obvious to them at the time.   

It would also take the car outside any Honda bodywork guarantee.   :(

I doubt a Honda dealer would sell a used car directly to the public  if it had any insurance marker.

I would still confront the dealership about it. You may be able to shame them into covering at least part of the cost of remedial work  . (especially if they were involved in the original  repair, although they might not admit to this)  I'm not sure it would rust  but even so the clear laquer coat is unacceptable.

Honda Jazz Mk2 2008-2015 / Paint issue under rear reg plate
« Last post by Wawg29 on Today at 12:06:52 AM »
I’ve just removed my rear number plate on my 2012 Jazz Si and where the lipped part of the number plate sat the paint underneath has issues. I tried polishing by hand and some wet sanding but it hasn’t corrected it.
I’ve had to refit the old lipped plate and put my new reg plate on top of it to cover the area.
Has anyone else had this issue?
What has caused it?
Is it anything to worry about?
Will attacking it with a DA and cutting compound make it any better?
Do you think it’s below the lacquer?

Thanks for any knowledgeable help 😁
