  1. As Bogdan has stated. Definitely get the L shaped USB adapter. How you've got yours will cause cable breakage.
  2. Ahhhh right. There's no reason whatsoever to cut any cables to change a battery. Just remove the battery temperature sensor and pull it to one side. Take the top cover off and undo the terminals and remove battery. BUT before you do anything charge your new battery with a smart charger. Yes charger it. Your car will love you for it.
  3. Why are you actually asking? What work are you after undertaking?
  4. Nice Lucas. Blimey I saw a stunning is250 today in the underground carpark at the Abode Hotel Chester (I was making a delivery) oh it made me hanker for another one. It was a superb colour, a metallic grey and wonderful 5 spoke wheels from a Premier I'd say. That headunit looks really good and OE. Has it android auto etc?
  5. That's a bum@mer John. Chipped windscreens are so common nowadays. Have a word with your insurance company and chat with them about how a claim for a new windscreen affects your no claims bonus and quote.
  6. Hi Kalpesh. How are you getting on with your new car? Simple answer for you is go for 17 inch wheels. If it's comfort you want then 17's is the way to go.
  7. Hello Andrew. Just buy standard ones from Lexus Direct. There's aren't many none standard available for your car. £350 each is a fair amount to pay. Just consider how long the Original ones on your car have lasted. Lexus/Toyota spent Millions on research. Just stick with originals.
  8. What Gray said above Linas may have been put clearly. Personally I read it as if anyone downloaded it on any works computer. That is a company practice, and especially a security company, a standard practice. I know of someone who many years previously downloaded porn on his computer, which was in a private limited access room, and that many years later got sacked for it. It's quite difficult for me personally to find a genuine sale on Facebook market place. I don't mind that. Apart from the sale of cars I was gobsmacked to see how many scams are on the dating sections. Geez it's like 99.999% scam from what I've seen.
  9. Hi Tom and welcome to the best Lexus forum there is. You're dead right. The 2is is getting older but so are you and we all. The 2is however is undoubtedly one of the greatest cars ever built. If you're prepared to look after one then it'll out live you. It's that simple. By look after it I mean treat it as you'd treat your child, for instance. Yes you could spend a few hundred quid a year on one But just think. How much to buy a much newer car? About a couple decades ownership of a 2is worth that's how much.
  10. What? Lexus Direct are charging £950 for an alternator? That's effin Outrageous. I paid a little over £800 for supply and fit at Lexus Stockport. Something very very wrong with LD charging that.
  11. Eh up MrT. Sorry to learn about your car issues. As stated above 500rpm is too low and no matter what car that'll not be good for it. I can't remember how to alter the idle revs but it certainly looks like it needs doing. As for the recon alternator you bought. Personally I'd have gone for a genuine one. If I remember correctly the one I had to get was around £360 or there abouts. Don't know how much you paid for your recon but I bet it was near that. Regards buying a new battery. One should Always put it on charge with a smart charger before installing it in ones car. Especially if bought from Halfords.
  12. Absolutely there's a load of scams on Facebook. I've personally reported 12 so far in just 2 days. How do I know they're scams? Because my Internet security tells me and I pass that info to Facebook. They've responded to each report I've made with thanks. What they'll do about those posts I've reported we'll have to wait and see.
  13. After reading a post that there's an is350 for sale on Facebook market place I thought I'd have a look. I'm not on Facebook so I had to make an ID up to view. What boggled my mind was How the Hell are is300h's on there for between £3&4k? These cars must be missing a 1 in front of them. 64 plate and newer I saw and was gobsmacked. As Rasta Mouse says 'whagwahn' what's going on. I can only assume that Facebook have missed a 1 in front of the prices or they're all a con and spam of sorts. What do you regular Facebook uses say?
