  1. Looks like this is the closest thread I could find on the topic, fitted Toyota Harrier skirts and front lip to the olde sofa on wheels yesterday. Actually like it more than I thought I would!
  2. Thanks for the reply Colin. Yes, I've already tried to go the exhaust specialist route and wanted to go back to a more standard affair. Probably points more towards the workmanship than anything but had nothing but exhaust leaks and sensor issues since so yearning for how things used to be. Spotted a Canadian listing on ebay for what I'm looking but shipping and taxes are going to sting: Complete Exhaust System Fits 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 Lexus RX300 3.0L Fast Ship | eBay Was just checking in case I've missed a more obvious supplier in the UK.
  3. Just say I'm looking a full exhaust system for an old 1MZFE, any pointers on where to source the whole heap new? I know Lexus themselves will be extortionate so guessing aftermarket pattern parts are the go-to but has anyone had good dealings with particular companies in the UK for stuff? Really don't want to let the old girl go but it's on the horizon.
  4. Surplus to requirements, was removed due to the lacquer deciding to leave the chat. Current condition in pics: Pic when fitted: Rare to find these but needs a respray so priced accordingly at £80. Collection from BT221EP or can post at buyers expense. Thanks for any interest!
  5. Owned one for years now, it's still used by my mum who adores it. A very relaxing drive, a lot more comfortable than most, proper armchair on wheels. Good load lugger, plenty of room with the seats down. Had to patch a sill last year, brake calipers can give jip and the exhaust rusted off it but pound for pound one of the best buys I've made. Thirsty big brute though but I can hardly talk 😄
  6. Bought these via Autodoc and messed up by not double checking the part numbers. These are a set of Bilstein rear shock absorbers to suit a 2002 Toyota Harrier X10, as I've found out the rear hubs are different to the UK models and so the shocks mount a bit lower down. Links to product pages here: 22-228123 BILSTEIN - B4 OE Replacement Shock Absorber Rear Axle Right, Gas Pressure, Twin-Tube, Suspension Strut, Top pin, Bottom Clamp for Lexus RX MCU15 ▷ AUTODOC price and review 22-228123 BILSTEIN - B4 OE Replacement Shock Absorber Rear Axle Right, Gas Pressure, Twin-Tube, Suspension Strut, Top pin, Bottom Clamp for Lexus RX MCU15 ▷ AUTODOC price and review Pics of actual items: I'd given them a spray of Dynax UC for protection before realising they were incorrect so pretty much new with zero miles on them. Just looking a bit back on the cost at this stage to ease the embarrassment. £160 plus post or local pickup (NI)
  7. Literally did this yesterday on my old RX300. I just drained the system, unbolted it, cleaned/dried everything, fresh silicone applied then bolted it back up. Left it overnight before filling the system again just to be safe but all seems good.
  8. Thanks for confirming Matt, we need dual reading for MOT in Northern Ireland so it's something to factor in. The ODB2 port is a solid solution.
  9. Can't seem to find the pics of my waterleak adventures, will have a look under the wagon tomorrow weather permitting of course 🙂
  10. Can echo what Nick is saying there. Have used different brands over a few cars now and always seem to come back to the Bilt Hamber stuff. Used Dynax UC on Wednesday night in fact after installing some suspension. No matter which you choose I would factor in an inspection every year or so just to touch up any signs of corrosion that might crop up.
  11. The two at the back are tricky to get at. I'm guessing you are looking to make sure they are clear with some strimmer wire? If so, I found the two exit drains under the car and pushed the wire in from that end. Just seem easier at the time!
  12. Looks fantastic in pearl white. Just out of curiousity, do these display speed in kmph only or is there dual reading to get mph as well?
  13. Hi there, A few years back I got that weird revving on mine but I got a fault code for one of the sensors on the air intake (we're going on hazy memory here) that cleared once I cleaned it with some carb cleaner. Probably not your issue but that revving reminded me of it.
  14. Thank you Jonathan, that's the sort of wizardry I was hoping for. I'll give that a whirl before getting the spanners out and report back 🙂
  15. Great pics Nigel. Rare to see a Blit in the UK. Those Crown estates are so tempting, I've a Caldina currently and an estate is just so practical.
