  1. Scorpion, happened to me a couple years ago, got a letter from insurance saying that they are happy to arrange repair of my car if I ring them up! I thought what's going on, rang up and they said they thought I had been in an accident as someone had try to claim against me. You are right - all it needs is the reg and someone can claim, it was a pain but the 3rd party admitted they were in error in the end as they had the wrong reg. Insurance would love to take away NCD as they could then charge you more money for your next premium, I don't trust any of them, good luck sorting them out!
  2. Hmm sounds interesting, however that seller also had a pyramid scam going on if you looked at other items they have for sale....
  3. Someone has suggested that perhaps it would be cheaper to have the front wing on my IS replaced than have the dent some idiot put in it beaten out and resprayed. Has anyone got a clue how much a front wing would cost and if this is a sensible idea?
  4. Hmm thought location was there, it wasn't but it is now! Anyhow I live towards the east side of Berkshire and am working in Watford, so details for anywhere convenient from those locations would be great.
  5. Some unknown idiot has managed to dent and scrape the car, didn't think it was too bad, however the quote from my main dealer is almost £800!!! After recovering from reading it, I was wondering if anyone knows of bodyshops that aren't at a main dealer, but are approved by Lexus so if I went there they might be cheaper, but wouldn't knacker my warranty on the car?? Cheers Matt
  6. What are these things to try? My stereo is playing up
  7. Like Zee I have a tungsten and have found it very good. I replaced a psion 5, so have had to live without a keyboard now. But have found it very easy to use. Graffiti on Palm seems to much better than whatever pocket pc uses. I tend to very much dislike pocket pc in general, its just not very nice to use. If you want things like wireless lan and bluetooth, you will pay a premium of course, and not many devices have both built in. I am even thinking of getting a tungsten t3 now instead of my origional t, however they aren't the cheapest, however there are cheaper palm based devices. The sony ones in general do seem quite nice, however I am sure if you pick palm over pocket pc you will be better off!
  8. so its gonna get worse before it gets better anyhow after resetting it, I used the removing fuse method, the clock and trip counters reset, I thought this should only happen if you disconnected the battery instead, could I have removed the wrong fuses??
  9. Hi people, one of my friends is moving to Canada for two years soon, she wants a car over there, however hasn't owned a car before. Although I am clearly trying to influence her into getting a Lexus, neither of us know much about the car market over there. So I was wondering if anyone knows how it compares to over here, for example the costs of buying new vs a second hand, or since she should only be there for a couple of years what is leasing car like over there. Suggestions and comparisons to the UK market would be much appreciated. Cheers Matt
  10. Sanj, it would be interesting to see what your results are, I have been using optimax since I got my car last year, however I have never got much over 30mpg. A while ago I was doing a lot of motorway commuting and even then on average, bearing in mind I would still do a fair amount of driving round town too, I would get around 27mpg most of the time. Recently I have been doing mainly driving round town, getting down to 24mpg some times. However today I reset the ECU, and in the new year will be going back to motorway commuting everyday, so like yourself I am hoping to see some improvements! Cheers Matt
  11. I didn't see the program, but when my car was hit from behind, I made sure I switched the engine off and put the keys in my pocket, so they wouldn't be able to make of with it that easily! Luckily of course it didn't come to that.....
  12. What's the address to go for as I tend to rely on my sat nav?? Looking forward to the M4 near rush hour, bound to be fun.....
  13. I'm free tuesday night and in the area, what time are you guys getting there?
  14. something along those lines I would prefer, animals, children and cancer I am sure are very deserving, but I would prefer to see groups that normally don't get so much attention getting my money.
