Toyota Granvia unofficial owners club

I've no personal experience of this problem, but it sounds like a failure in the starter solenoid/relay.

It is illegal to freewheel in the UK as this will affect things like power steering and brake servo vacuum.... Hmmm, I don't think so! We're talking about freewheeling, the equivalent of slipping the gearbox into neutral. If the engine is still idling then power assistance for the steering and vacu...

I suspect you've come across one of the Granvia's "features"! Some Granvias suffer from an unexplained battery drain where, if the vehicle is left standing for a few days, the battery has discharged enough that there's insuffiecient power left to start the engine (and the diesel engine nee...
