  1. As americans would say - awesome. They are what I need. Very many thanks for finding them for me Trim is ready to go back on now that I have glued the holders back with Tiger seal TudorDoc
  2. Thank you for this. The clips i need have a square top that is flat and slides inside the retainers on the trim. Here's a better picture of the clip that I removed TD
  3. I have a 2005 GS and the trim along the bottom of the drivers door has come off. I think it must have been reattached previously as the clips had been glued to the trim - and the glue seems to have given up. A new trim is £250+! So I have re-glued the black retainers to the trim. However I need new little white trim clips in order to reattach it the door. Thanks in anticipation!
  4. It is a 2005 3rd generation GS I also need to know why I now have so much internal condensation Thanks TD
  5. I have been suffering with excessive internal condensation on my 9 year old GS. As there was a musty smell I have just had the air-con treated with anti-bacterial and the pollen filter replaced. I keep the air-con set to automatic and do not leave the intake set to recycle. Separately I have had an intermittant problem with lack of sound from the radio and sat nav. When this happens there are no audible beeps when pressing buttons and one cannot change any audio settings. Yesterday I realised that the lack of sound occurs when there is a lot of condensation on the insdie of the windows when getting into the car. Can someone tell me where the connection is that is shorting out with moisture so as to stop all the sound and audio? Thanks
  6. London may be where where London has always been, but buildings are knocked down and roads changed. One way systems are re-arranged. All this makes following the satnav challenging TD
  7. I have a GS300 on 05 plate The map is now very out of date on the satnav. What is the latest map I can get and where is the best place to get one? Thanks TudorDoc
  8. I have new shape GS300 2005. Recently I have noticed that the nearside head-light does not always come on with the offside headlight. If I flick lights off and back on the near side comes on! I am referring to the Xenon normal beam not full beam. Yesterday I was driving at night and realised neither of the headlights were on. Only after turning off and on several times did both come on. Of course today I have just tested lights in the drive and both come on perfectly. Are the bulbs failing? Could there be any other explanation? I have taken off the engine covers and cannot see how to get to the xenon bulbs. Are they something that only Lexus can replace???? Thanks TudorDoc
  9. Have you reset the pressures? Certainly in winter as the temperature drops I get a light about tyres. I then check the pressure and hit the reset button. TudorDoc
  10. Check on the black ring of the bulb, but i think its a D2R you need... here for £20 http://www.carstereos4u.co.uk/xenon-bulbs/d2r-xenon-replacement-bulb-2024488-371239-.php Sorry to be dim, but how to you get the plastic engine cover off? Do you push down on the core of the clips or lever them up before pulling up on the clip? Do not want to break one in forcing it the wrong way TudorDoc
  11. I am having the same fault on my new shape gs300 with Xenon bulb. Nearside headlight does not always come on. When I flick from auto to headlight and back on it comes Did getting a new bulb solve your problem How much did the bulb cost? Did you get it from Lexus? TudorDoc
  12. When googling lexus and snow I found a thread in the IS forum. Several things of interest. One is the recommendation to put four bags of sand in the boot. I did this and it was the best £5 I have spent for a while. Now I do not go sideways when braking and can easily get up the slopes that I could not before. Having a full load of fuel helps too. Very cheap. Very effective Remember to flick out of drive when braking. Otherwise the anti-lock braking is not as good Finally, I am going to invest in SnowSox when they are back in stock More snow maybe next week, so not taken the sand out the boot just yet Hope this helps TudorDriver
  13. Hello Tony, I paid £129 as I got a 10% discount. I think there are 5 dvd's covering the whole of Europe. The way to do it is go on ebay. I got a new Europe West DVD 08-09 from someone in Greece. They had to buy a whole set of 4 DVDs to get Europe East so then they sell the rest of the DVDs on ebay - you see it quite often. I got mine for £35 inc delivery Then you sell your 07-08 DVD on ebay. The net cost of my upgrade was about £10 Is simples, yes? Malc I have new shape GS300. My current DVD says 86271- 64012 and below that 86271-60V542. According to the Lexus map update site I can get new DVD for €159. Cannot see any discs on eBay. Anyone know of any cheaper sources? Thanks TD
  14. I need forumites help. I am a doctor who treats people with hand and arm injuries. I want to study how well people drive with a plaster cast on their arm, without putting them in a real car. I have found a new steering wheel and pedal for driving games that is meant to be quite realistic in its feel and feedback. Now I need to find a driving game for PC that has most realistic urban driving. I am not looking for racing or crashes. I am looking for something that has urban driving with stops and starts and hazards such as a pedestrian walking into the road. Since you are all computer savvy, I thought I would enlist your help. Thanks TudorDoc
  15. Jumped into car to drive home. I have been parked where I often park. Quite hot weather, but no more than other times. When in "Drive", and either stationary or doing less than 20mph, the parking sensor warning is telling me I have something in range at the front of the car. I have wiped the sensors (with my fingers) and there is nothing stuck to them. I have turned the engine off and on. I have turned the sensor system off and on. Any suggestions TudorDoc
