Pics up matey - where did it come from??? details ;)

I so love our GS - easily the best large car I've ever driven and deceptively fast :) :)

It's a 2007 (57) SE(ML) - silver. I'll put some pics up if it ever stops raining!

The performance is just mental - makes me grin everytime - I think there's something about the CVT that makes it "sound" even faster if that makes sense - any way you look at it, something that size that does 0-60 in under 6 seconds is pretty quick!! Wiring in the Road Angel was one of the first jobs!!

Yep - collected my GS450h today - been smiling ever since I picked it up!!

Thanks guys

Hi everyone - used to loiter here a while back when I had a GS (best car I ever had)

Looking at buying a used 450H now - does anyone have any tales (goor or bad) please - and anything that I should look out for when buying

Thanks - hope everyone is well!!

great news Steve! - I'm really happy for you

Nero 6 does too - and it's very good

TDI sell them too

I know the problem mate - which is exactly why I ordered the 5 spoke 18inch wheels on my ST - I can get my hand inside the whell and give it a good clean - the 16 spoke standard ones must be a nightmare to clean

Isn't that stuff silicon though? - surely you don't want it anywhere near your discs?

I had these on my GS and I was very pelased with them - prolly the only discs I ever put on the car that didn't warp

I'm still here!

The reason they charge you is they have to replace the LNB on the satellite isch with two and run an extra cable to the new box.

Actually mate, I don't think that's true if you're upgrading from Sky+. the Sky+ dish already has a quad LNB installed and two feeds from the dish to the box.

My HD box is on order and comes in a couple of weeks.

the way I see is is that if you've got the telly then you have to have to box!

Yes - very pretty - but is it just me or does it look like a Passat?

It's just you mate, your vision has been clouded now you've switched to a Mondeo!

hehe - could be mate. Mondeo is a flipping brilliant car though - makes me smile every time I drive it - well happy.

Yes - very pretty - but is it just me or does it look like a Passat?

I have the schematics mate - PM me your email address and I'll send them to you

The GS range SatNav went DVD in about 2001, although the CDs used in the IS range will work fine.

CDs quite often come up on eBay.

Gotta say I think it looks better with all the badges on (sorry)

180,000 miles - still perfect (and for sale) :)

Has anybody else noticed that the standard of punctuation and spelling seems to be awful in this country?

From what I can see, it seems to be getting worse as well. Maybe it has something to do with over reliance on spell checkers and txt messages or lowering standards of education? I don't know, maybe its always been bad?

If I look at someone’s CV and see bad spelling or punctuation, I am immediately put off. Does this bother anyone else?

The use of the word "its" in your second paragraph is incorrect. You ought to have an apostrophe in there.

(you did rather ask for it mate)

If someone would like to clarify the forum rules in regard of posting pics of the tyres then please do, and if its ok i'll post pics for you all.

I'm happy for you to post pics of your tyres mate

This is a very common problem caused by the floating part of the caliper rattling on it's pins. It's completely harmless (and very annoying) - the way to fix it is to supply a very small amount of copper grease to the pins.

I'm sure I bought a Y adapter so I could run two things from a cigarette lighter many years ago, just can't remember where I got it from, or where it went too..............The problems of aging :duh:

Halfords sell them I think

mine is better and has SatNav - but higher mileage - it's on eBay - take a look

linky

:) :)

it's good to see you back - hope all's well
