Yeah - Reading is part of Octagon, but I've used both and found Reading's service pretty good.

Have you joined Gold yet Claire?? - have a look at the discount section, a dealer near you might be offering some savings!!

Sam - you're so wise:lol::lol:

It's good to have a calming influence in here with all this testosterone around!

good heavens!! - no post for 3 hours - you're slacking chaps and chapesses

Octogon Bracknell - where can I start? Disinterested, unhelpful, stroppy.

The sales side is great, really helpful. After my car was vandalised and I tried to get the bodywork repaired, they weren't interested. I ended up having to go to Isleworth (fantastic), but it's a bit galling going all that way when I live 5 mins from Bracknell!:flaming::flaming:

Have you tried reading Claire - I thought they were pretty good.

Rodders_UK, does your car have a CD player? If so, then you already have a decent mp3 player. If your PC has a CD-R drive then you can record mp3's to a CD-R disk and the CD player will play it. In my IS200 I have 6 disk cd player filled with my collection of mp3's. You will need something like Nero Burning CD ROM s/w to write the mp3's to the CD-R. This converts the mp3 to a format suitable to play on a CD player. If you want further info, just ask.

As for suggestions on what electronic gismo to fit to the car, I would suggest a babe magnet.

GRiM - are you recording MP3 format onto CD and it's playing in your car??

What bitrate are you using to rip??

What ISO setting do you need for Nero in order to record these so that they will work. I've got a DVD player here that will read them, but the car doesn't so far.

Cheers

Looks great - nice one!:wow:

I reckon you've just killed off the second hand IS market in Peterborough.

As I understand it, HID conversion is not so much about the bulbs, but about the levelling equipment that you have to have in th UK to keep the things legal??

Hi Pete

Not sure if this is what you mean, but I've added a Snooper, Trafficmaster Monitor and Nokia CARK-91 to mine.

I would like to find a source for replacement speakers, and for supply/fit of a decent MP3 player.

Nope!

Have a look at Rod Millen on:-

And speaker upgrades

Hi - and welcome!!

I should think there's a pretty long list - bits are hard to come by here in the UK.

For starters:

Exhaust systems and parts

Grills and body parts etc

HID conversions

SatNav software

Hi Pete - and welcome to the Club.

Our member Shrek1 has a MK1 sport - he may be able to offer you some tips.

There's a good search page on the Lexus UK website for used cars - might be worth a visit - http://www.lexus.co.uk

Cheers

Thanks Sam:bounce:

Excellent!!

My dealer (Coventry) refused to fit non-Toyota pads.

Did you review Lexus Exeter???

Squeeking brakes are caused by the pads vibrating at high speed. Many people find that the problem can be reduced by thoroughly flushing the pads with water. You might also find that adding copper grease to the rear of the pads can reduce the noise - but this should be done by a brake specialist.

AFAIK, brake seal is NOT a sign of worn pads though.

There's been a thead about this before - have a search through the forum listings.

I think maybe free private sales and charged for trade sales??

Sounds like a bad connection inside the door maybe - can you hear the lock trying at all??

Looks brill. Sadly I can't get to the cinema easily cos of the 3 todders in our house. Was Harry Potter on DVD last night - that was great too!
