  1. Thanks for the replies everyone- very useful comments and observations. I wish I lived in Essex with labour at £32/hr but its a bit too far from my normal operating bases. I think I will keep the booking I have with Plymouth and find out if they will honour the 15% Gold discount off their £69/hr. I have been looking in the owners manual and it only refers to 225 tyre pressures. My car has Pirelli Zero 245/50/17's - does anyone know the tyre pressures for these ? Nick S. Devon
  2. Another pleased LS400 owner coming to your board ! I have just picked up a 1999 in A1 condition with 57K miles for amazingly low money (<£14K) in a private sale and haven't driven one since the early 90's when I rented one in the US (and was stopped at 125 mph on cruise control in death Valley!). I have had an A8 before and think that the interior was better, but as a package the 400 wins hands down. I have looked through other massages and tried not to replicate questions as I know it is annoying for long term members, but these are the ones I am left with: - Is there an 'economical' way of geting the Sat Nav data base updated? I have noticed that some new roads are not marked and would like to know the best way of going about this - I live in the SW and work in the SE in the week (doing 30-40K miles/yr) and have found that SW dealers charge £69-74 hr and SE dealers £89 hr. If I join the Gold Club do I get 15% off these prices? I have just been quoted £620 inc labour and VAT for an 'A' Service with cambelt change, filters and plugs - does this sound about right ? I have read that some people take their own oil, etc into dealers; does this cause any hassle or is it dealer dependent ? - I found a site saying it specialises in Lexus spares ( http://www.247spares.com/lexus-parts/ ). Has anyone any experience with them and are there any others worth noting? My wife is a stewardess and goes to the US regularly and brings back 'bits' for my other vehicles/boats; is there 100% overlap in the US and UK vehicles (except LHD/RHD bits) ? I also have an imported Landcruiser and alot of the parts are different between Japanese and US vehicles. - I switched the air con off and the mpg rocketed up from 24 to 28 (at 85mph). This seems high compared to other vehicles i have had. Is this what others are experiencing? - if so, with the miles I am doing - I will be keeping it for when I need it ! Please shout if I can find the answers to these in existing posts. BTW - Excellent board
