  1. I didn't think they worked like that, I thought they worked mecanicaly as in the weight of your body going into the seat on rear impact forced the chair to absorb your body and push the head rest forward to hold your head. im not sure though?
  2. feel for you. I hope you get it sorted soon and all is not too bad for you.
  3. the belts last 100'000 miles or 6 years so not a problem, chains start to rattle badly after about 150'000 and then it costs a fortune to replace everything. belt is £30 tentioner is £40 and a good garage £60 so it's cheap and reliable. :D glad you like your car.
  4. I found it funny and shocking. I don't know how to explain it! would I be annoyed if an american did that to us? I don't know, but then what could they say that the avarage UK resident would get angry over? TBH I did think of worse things to put on the cars and thought there's were tame. not that I would ever do that myself, I thought of them in jest and not serious about it. On the whole I would say I really enjoyed that episode but I think it's going too cause alot of arguments. Side line, I was shocked at the sorry state of New Orleans, I really hope that they get it all sorted soon and it doesn't happen again for them.
  5. That's great - I'll order a blank master key from ebay straight away. Hopefully once I get the boot open I'll be able to figure out what's wrong with the internal release mechanism. Nice one. Just warning you, make sure the shop is pretty good as I had 2 blanks butchered by 1 place, also if it doesn't work try taking the key out turning the key 180 degrees, re-insert and try again, all the locks read one side only so if one side of the new key is not cut right the other side may still be OK.
  6. if you order a master key blade off e-bay you can take it too a key cutters and get it cut using the valet key. the only difference to the metal part of the key is that the vallet key is a solid rectangle looking at it from the end and the master has 4 grooves cut out so its just 1mm narrower in the corners. costs about £6 for the blank and £6 for cutting, it will not start the car but it will mean you can get in the boot and glove box. it will work but as the rest say you wont be able to reprogram a master key from a valet so don't lose it. craig ps diagram of keys from the end, valet on left master on right
  7. Faulty ballast perhaps? Have you checked the fuses. There is one for each side.
  8. B)--> QUOTE(T7RY B @ Feb 8 2007, 12:24 PM) ← OR LINK v funny. I liuckily use the bus to get to work so I had no problems but I have to leave the keys in wifeys hands so she can go to work! :duh: im not nurvous at all?! I cleaned my car at 4pm. by the time I rinsed the car off and grabbed the squeegy to take the water off it had frozen! so i was quite iritated that the car wasn't cleaned properly!
  9. certainly nothing like how lexus advertise over here! LOL
  10. they all do, no mobile co. is better than any other. just depends on your spend over your contract with them and how desperate they are at the time you ring them. you timed it well because January has been shocking.
  11. I don't know about the lex but on older jap cars there is a throttle position sensor that can do this but it genrally makes the revs go randomly up and then back down aswell. craig
  12. what the fudge is that? it can't be serious?
  13. auto or manual auto, I guess its the gearbox Manual, guess it's the clutch.
  14. try contacting your mobile provider and asking for your your pack code; they may decide to help you. don't ask for the impossible but ask for what you've seen. I don't like internet companies because they do mess alot of people around.
  15. there's Kaz and I. Im not sure who else is. are you?
  16. ive been to centre parks about 12 times, really enjoy it, not been to the winfell one though, were trying that later this year. prices are not astronimical. most activities are group ones so if you split the cost it works out very cheap. badminton is about £4.50 per 45 mins tennis is about £5.50 spa's around £20 swimming is free. climbing wall outside is £13.00 inside for 20 mins is about £5.00. that should give you an idea. you get a book with it all in about 2 weeks before you go.
  17. the 950 doesnt have a camera and is very big. it's not as well built as the 810 and 850 just feels more plasticky. I have the K750 and I love it. the w810 is better than K750, just improved functions and buttons, the w810 is excelent value for money so you'll get it cheap. maybee on £30 with 12 month, I can do it on orange for £30 and 12 month for free. the 850 is just 512mb bigger memory card and can do video calls and slides up so not alot for your money i can do that £30 for 18 months. the 950 is big and expensive, no camera so why not get an Ipod nano 4gb for £129 wich works loads better and is loads smaller than 950 even if you place the nano with another phone. if you do wan't one I can do it for £20 one off payment 18 month £35 per month.

  18. Can't be much worse going from 2.5 to 3.0 I wouldn't have thought. any way I hope you enjoy your car, I prefer the looks of the new GS to the IS but I just love the toys you get with the IS, I dont think you can get the full MM system in GS, am I right?
  19. I had the same thing with my starion wheels! its just wrong that someone can be so careless about something that is obviously in such great condition and well looked after! "Respect a mans car and he will respect you" hope it gets sorted!
  20. why dont you get a recirulating BOV? near silent and can be better than a standard BOV but depends on the turbo. it's easy to say let him overtake but when you have a deacent quick car you just wan't to put them down a peg or two and hurt thier pride because you know they will just keep doing it. I dont race in the lex is200 as it's way too slow as standard against others (not corsa's but then would I be a big boy if i picked on them?) I did do alot in my starion and very satisfying I have to admit especialy from an old car and if someone was messing you arround and you just left them or made it annoying for them like getting back into traffic without joining the end of the que. I never have and never will race a stranger or egg them on, but I have retaliated many times; one of the reasons why the starion was replaced with the Lex, it doesn't tempt me as much now.
  21. Kazi uses 3 seperate images to make one big one that's why it appears with one or two lines in it occationaly. I think if your image was just a little bigger then you could get away with it but all fairness I liked your sig but it was rather large!
  22. Some lint free cloth and some proper leather cleaner and re-conditioner.
  23. Isn't that illegal, as it won't pass an MOT. it is illegal and wouldn't pass an MOT but I asume that he's just done the mod where there hidden and then it would be fine.
  24. Probably less boring than the Lexus boys discussing whose got the loudest rattle :D :D Split, gets confusing when people just put IS in and you have to try and work out what there refering too. Craig
