my exhaust is still the original one have no idea how it has lasted

mines a 2000 on 164000 had it eight years and all i have done is serviced it myself every 6000 just thinking of getting new exhaust as its getting rather rusty cus of this winter but still runs smooth as silk my plan is to run it til fuel gets too much lol

its not a respray issue as my car its still all original panels only thing i can think it is that the laquer has slightly degraded as the boot has a flat surface where water sits and then the water droplets amplify the solar heat/ uv which when you feel the silver car when hot is hot so i think its down to the age of the car and the waterbase paints that they use now

this has happened when it has water droplets on the panel then the sun heats up metalic paint on the panel at different levels dont think it can be cured it has happened to me ever since i have owned my car which is about seven years now and it dosent last may be an hour until panel has got even temp i know its fustrating but in the summer i wash my car in the evening to reduce this happening but can be caused by dew as well. i know you shock when you first see it but it never has caused my paint to fall off or damaged it, it just makes you mad

mine is silver and i think it looks good on harleys or autoglym hd wax but i can tell you had my car a few years and silver is hard colour to make pop so getting a wet look will make reflections better giving a nice look esp in afternoon and night

i have found that harly wax works best for my silver lex normally use autoglm srp then harly wax after

Mine kicks in at about 4000rpm the best way to find out for your self is put it 3rd gearwhen doing about 20 mphand then put youf foot to the floor when it gets to about 4000rpm you will feel a little jolt and then it starts to shift hope this helps ps. I feel it more when using shell v power

I had a similar problem with lighter not working and changed fuses etc and in the end found out thatit was the two clips inside the lighter at the bottom, these after a while just bend themselves out just enough not to contact the phone charger ,so got a tiny screwdriver and bent them not to much to the middle and it seems to work fine now. Not saying this is you problem but it might be so hope it helps

Its only the auto and i think its the window lock button that lights up so its onlt two buttons on that whole panel that lights and iam sure that most people dont notice them because they are dull . And plus after a while you will get a automatic feel to where they are.

Been out again today and found it a bit easier to turn off trc with snow control on than to drive with it all on. What have you been finding better?

Mate they look sweet remember to post pics when there on the car

Sound like if the door wont open you will have to take to lexus as to get panel off you need to have door open to undo the screws holding door card on

Iam sorry if i have scared people but for those people who were thinking about getting a newer or new car next year like the is 250 you could have a shock when going to tax it.

Mate my point is why should we pay more so some people pay nothing when they still have four wheels same as us , pherhaps its just me but i find it a rip off

Just found out my tax is due and went on dvla site to find out how much need to pay at the end of the month and guess what at the end of april for those of you got cars regestered after april 2001 you tax could increase up to £1000 depending on age and co2 . I think this takes the **** now we paying for every one else with hair dryers to get in the way for free , where i live there is hills and my car no probs vs fiat 500 going flat out using lots of fuel ,cant see that out of the town these small cars are eco friendly i think scrap tax and add it to the fuel then the more you use then you would pay right amount , sorry to have a winge put it makes me mad.
