I have no idea send them an email. Mike

Skullduggery me thinks! :shruriken: Very much so. You see this regular on fleabay. They think fleabay is the be all and end all of selling, when they see their item/s not doing well they remove them so they don't lose out, often saying, i dropped it or somebody hit it by accident, just tried it and saw a fault blah blah. When doing this fleabay should have a rule of a mark against their account, 3 marks and it's ban from that IP address. Other way is always set a minimum and maybe offer a buy it now, BIN does bring it's own issues though as some members have seen on here before. Cant disagree with that common sense solution. Why is it Ebay thinks its to bloody difficult to make trading fair for both sellers and buyers. Mike

That does look smart from that angle. If only they would stay that clean. Mike

Hey Bluesbreaker, I have a set of wheels you can borrow while yours are being done, I don't know how far you are from me. Mike

Sorry just curious, how does this feature work in the Celsior? The car instantly explodes killing all the hijackers however there is a small design problem with it and I will let you know what that is when I find it in the owners manual. Mike

If anyone's interested they are breaking an LS430 on ebayhttp://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lexus-LS-430-4-3-Premium-Pack-auto-BREAKING-SPARES-AND-REPAIRS-/151003146370?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D5889010912677835378%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26sd%3D151003146370%26 Mike

Maybe we should go to Specsavers. Mike

I made that mistake last time the picture was posted, but its very silver on my lap top. Mike

Difficult to choose which, they both look good, nice looking car, most cars look good in silver. Mike.

I'm am generally not in favor of changing wheels but that does look nice. Mike

Hello and welcome to the LOC, we are a friendly bunch and if one doesn't know something its not long before someone else comes along with right info. Here's a link to for sale section you might find something in there. Mike http://www.lexusownersclub.co.uk/forum/index.php?showforum=29

Very funny Mike - the only problem is the number of times your car would be rammed by others who hate him, if you bought this Yank Tank. I hadn't thought of that. Mike

Don't worry yourself, you have come of age and at the same died and woken up in motoring paradise. Its no wonder the Merc club cant get the same feeling for their cars as we do for ours and the reason is simple, their cars aren't good enough. Now if you still feel shaky get a nice cup of tea, find your favorite CD and go and sit in Lexie, she will look after you. Mike

How very dare you. Mike

My MK4 which is LPGd is the finest car on the road. Mike

I dont think it did. Mike

Hey, sorry to hear the bad news. Everybody OK I hope just a wounded pride. Mike

Why do our customs authorities still insist if your bringing more that a cartoon of fags and a box of wine you must be a modern day pirate. Do you know what the personal allowance is? they ask, Yes, as much as I can fit into my car and my sons car behind me as there are no allowances anymore its all one market. I could go on & on but I wont. Mike

Can you PM me so we can arrange for the 1st class tickets to be sent ( I have a couple of friends who would like to look at the problem and they think LSs are cool. I wont be able to help when it comes to getting hands dirty but I can dish out sympathy which is always important. Mike

Its called growing up and maturing like a fine wine. Mike

Run a mile. Mike

Its looking increasingly more difficult to argue that the natural step up from our Mk4s is the 430/460, they constantly throw up stories of dissatisfaction with various dislikes and technical problems and it has also become accepted that the Mk4 was the best of all the LSs. So is anymore difficult today to find and good LS than it was 3 years ago? I remember 3 years ago in March/April there were very few around that were even worth investing time and money going to see. I wasn't particularly fussy, it didn't have to be in mint condition and the odd scratch or small dent was acceptable. As long as the car was honest and not been written off at some stage and had a service history, main dealer/local garage was acceptable. It took me 12 weeks & 8 different cars to find one it had a small dent in the drivers door which is still there (anyone got a 6Q7 Dark Green drivers door) and a few scratches, interior was perfect all buttons and switches worked 85k and full service history, cam belt done I paid £2600 and £1200 for LPG so £3800 altogether. In that time I have had two services, one battery and replacement passenger door (already well published) two tyres and I have done 50K miles, always past her MOT without even an advisory, I could probably still get around £2K for her but I ain't stupid enough to get rid of her for many years yet. The thing is that with all the problems likes and dislikes the 430/460 keeps throwing up will make the Mk1.2.3 & 4 a more desirable bet which will have one effect and that is drive the price up of Mk4s and poss Mk3s and to hold prices level for Mk1s & Mk2s, especially for those that are honest cars etc. So look after her she may be worth more than you think. Mike Mike Have you seen Ebay item 261168320182, I enquired about colour but guy never go back to me but car is still listed as a breaker Yes I was after the drivers door and I maybe in the light of your question wrong to assume it was Green 6Q7. The wheels need refurb and they want £150 for 5 of them. I couldn't go ahead with the door as I need to have it fitted at the same time ( it wont fit into the car) and being old and decrepit and a 5 hour drive puts it out of reach for me, one will come up nearer. Hope you have luck with what your after. The prices will need knocking down as they seem a bit high to me. Mike

When I see that plus Previous Owner not there I rarely go any further, I find it really annoying that these details and others are not put in and I don't see why Ebay don't make a stipulation that all these things are filled in before you can publish it on Ebay. Mike

If you enter "Steering wheel refurb" into google loads of them appear. Mike
