  1. Yeah its for the 4. Yeah its pretty steep, i'm going to try Lexus Liverpool, they where £60 cheaper than the £200 Chris said for the replacement key. Will see what they have to say........
  2. Toying with getting some sports pedals from Chris at Lexus, has anyone tried fitting them? Are they pretty straightforward? Thanks for any advice.........
  3. Has anyone tried fitting one if the Pre Woodec dashboard kits, what are they like to fit? I'm not keen on the wood effect but some of the others look ok.
  4. Oh right, can you get a cover for it then? I'd be paranoid about parking up somewhere and it getting pinched!!
  5. That looks really good, i want one, what does it lool like with the screen closed tho?
  6. That's low, looks fantastic. You're car's really clean, did you clean and polish it up yourself? Really good...
  7. I've gor clear ones on the wing, i just think they look a bit boring.
  8. Cant stretch to a headlight converstion kit at the mo so i was wondering if anyone had tried the Xenon bulbs or the ice blue replacement bulbs from Ring or whoever?? Are they worthwhile?? ...and another quick one, are there any replacement for the standard side indicator lenses out there? Thanks!!
  9. Not bothered about the ones in the visors, just the one in the roof that comes on when the door opens! I'll have a look but if they're not that bright........... :tsktsk: Ill take a pic of mine in the morning and stick it up so you know what to look for. The one i have is an LED bulb Cool, thanks! Where did you get it from?
  10. just got the pic from the website just now. Ill get pics of the unit tomorrow. Thats a shame it's a nice piece of kit-bet it wasn't cheap either!!! Why not try living with it for a week or two first????????
  11. Not bothered about the ones in the visors, just the one in the roof that comes on when the door opens! I'll have a look but if they're not that bright........... :tsktsk:
  12. How low is it now then -50mm? Not cheap tho!!
  13. They do look good tho! :D Any idea how long you could expect them to last before cracking? Whats a dba disc? Thanks.....
  14. I've just put my new blue lights in the doors thanks to Mike and now i want to change the interior bulb to a blue to match, i've managed to get the cover off but i've never seen a bulb that looks like it before, are there blue ones out there that's a straight replacement? Thanks again.......
  15. Well, my cambelt's getting sorted on tuesday, i'm getting my brake discs and pads done in january when the xmas shopping's done and when i finally get round to chosing either drilled or grooved discs(seperate thread). The next thing on my list thanks to lexus' safety check is to get my leaking shock sorted, which means i've got an excuse to get it lowered (might as well as my shock needs changing eh!) So now i'm thinking go for a -50mm drop as it sits so high as standard, so can anyone that's had their's dropped tell me how much it has affected the ride since you have had it droppped? For the-50mm drops> is the ride too uncomfortable? For the-30mm drops>are you kicking yourself for not going for that extra few mm?? and what springs/shocks do you recommend? Cheers all........
  16. I perfer the look of the drilled and grooved discs so will be going for drilled, just need to decide which now, any suggestions from anyone? Thanks.......
  17. Seeing as my free(which is actually going to cost a few hundred pounds) safety check at Lexus told me i need new discs and pads i was just wondering what people could recommend me to buy? Is it worth coughing up for an expensive set of drilled disks or just stick to your standard Kwik Fit ones? Thanks......Stu.
  18. Thats a shame, thanks for the pointer will see if he's still doing them.
  19. Any news on this? I've been looking at getting a screen and dvd player fitted in mine either an Alpine or a Kenwood monitor but will hang fire if this is not too far away from being sorted?????? Can you let me know? Thanks...Stu.
  20. I definately want this fitted to mine, how much is it? Stu.
  21. Cheers, will check... Why would pads being 70% worn qualify as a safety problem anyway? They're not worn out till they're 100% worn. Now while leaving it that long is probably daft (unless you're in the habit of checking them every weekend) there is certainly no need to panic and change them immediately, there will be several thousand miles left in them... Reminds me of when I took a (company) Passat to Kwik Fit in Plymouth after it's 80k service, to have two new rear tyres put on. As part of the main-dealer service, the rear shocks had been changed. The fact they'd only been on there a day or so didn't stop Kwik-Fit telling me they were leaking, and should be changed asap!! Mike It was an Amber on their traffic light system meaning they would need changing soon. Oh and they also said one of the shocks was showing signs of leaking, at least i've got an excuse to get it lowered properly in the not to distant future...
  22. "The safety report highlighted that the water pump was leaking, and the front pads were 70% worn" Funny that because they told me the same thing, water pump leaking and pads 70% worn only difference they said the disks as well!!! Conicidence?? No one on here is claiming they know more than a dealer but how can they justify charging £170 more than an independant garage(one i've trusted since i started driving). I'm sure i can get my disks and pads done cheaper as well... Well yeah they did, they showed me and to be fair to them it was showing signs of wear so i am getting it done, but not with the dealer, too expensive.
