Thank you for your information concerning the Toyota MMT gearbox. I purchased a Toyota Aygo MMT for my wife in 2006. Endless problems since, mainly concerning ingress of water and other issues. All satisfactorily sorted so no problems there. I have just put the vehicle in for it's annual service and have been informed that the clutch assembly needs replacing. By the time this is sorted it will cost me well in excess of £800. I appreciate the car is now 10 years old so I would expect additional expenses BUT my wife drives only about 700 miles (1000 km) per annum. A new clutch assembly after 12000 miles! Realy? Apparently according to the dealer it is my wife's fault for not driving the car "like a manual" so I have no redress other than to pay up and never touch Toyota again. IF the car should be driven as if a manual and not as a fully automatic, this fact should have been made very clear to me when it was sold. I would then have purchased a conventional drive Aygo or have made sure that my wife adopted a different driving style. To say that I am hacked off with my local dealership and Toyota in general would be an understatement right now, particularly as my research backs up the fact that MMT gearboxes are not a good choice of drive.
