Here's an option I posted in a topic earlier. Essex based.

Ages ago someone here (can't remember who) recommended a firm on Canvey Island, Essex.

Made a note of it at the time for when I want some wheels doing. JP Polishing

Last few weeks been watching my mileage creep up through the 60's.

Been thinking wonder if I'll actually notice it with all 6's and here's the saddo bit

Nipped out briefly on Sunday and arrived home with mileage at 66664 so ....

drove round the block a few times to make sure I parked up with it at 66666

All so I could get this picture with the meter showing the sixes.

Am I the only one that likes the yellow?

I'm with you on that but not because I particularly like Yellow.

People with FOG lights for their intended purpose generally have Yellow as that's what works best in the fog.

Those who just have them as another set of lights might go way up the K range instead.

Much less effective light output but perhaps just going for pretty colour Blue or Pinky Purple

Just do it online with a debit card. Hassle free and they post you the disc saving you a trip to the post office.

I agree with that. Renewed mine online for last 5 years.

This years renewal form arrived in post today so number 6 to follow shortly.

Article today in Auto Express email about pending coupe models also mentions new IS launch.

Do you see the collapsible subject options down the left hand side ?

Page looks like this :-

Start by clicking on "Repair Manual" followed by the area you're looking for.

That page (and some people) say it only works with Internet explorer browser but I'm using firefox at the moment.

The manuals the dealers use can be found here workshop manuals

LS460L review

TG

Well at least being in the UK they have a choice.

Across lots of mainland Europe you don't get to choose.

If it's winter then you must have winter tyres. That's the law.

Not just the huge mountain countries either.

Pretty much the first thing people mention when you say "winter" tyres is snow.

Although they DO provide a benefit there that's not all they're for.

I received the following personal message so if anyone is interested then have fun

Hi.

I'm editor of Classic Car Mart magazine at Kelsey Publishing and we've planned a photo shoot comparing the LS400 with the Jaguar XJ40.

I know it was done back in the day but it will be interesting to see how well they compare so many years later!

Would you be able to put us in touch with a forum/club member with a suitable car who might be interested ?

We'll try and do a photo shoot somewhere in the Midlands like the Gaydon museum within the next couple of weeks.

Thanks for your help

Regards

Paul Wager

I got these on mine! They were on there when i bought it. Different to the SE, their like a grey colour on that.

Do You know if these were standard on the sport?

Pretty sure they weren't standard anywhere.

There were a couple of group buys for some on these forums which is probably where yours came from too.

TG

Lexus Birmingham have some in their eBay shop Lexusbirm

TG

Check your brake lamps are all working - including the centre high one.

TG

I've just bought some "non standard" discs for my IS200 and some Ferodo pads to go with them.

Not fitted yet - saving that until the spring. Just taking advantage of an offer.

Similar deals for GS300 here Clark motorsport GS offers

I've had Ferodo pads too on previous cars and had no problems with them.

TG

Lexus Birmingham have some front discs + pads in their eBay shop for £160 + £15 delivery.

Here's the link if any use GS discs + pads

There's some rear pads in the shop too.

TG

could i buy just two winter tyres for the rear? bit off a wast of heated seats with car sitting at home.

Doing just a pair of winter tyres can be very dangerous = not recommended.

If that's the plan then better to go for the "take the bus" option.

TG

I'd suggest the first option should be winter tyres.

Quite surprising the difference they make if you've not had them before.
