  1. Hi guys.

    OK I have white Lex decals that were waiting to go on, then I spotted these on e-bay (Look nice !)http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=8061179071&rd=1&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&rd=1

    They arrived yesterday and I just wanted to see if anyone else had similar ones to these, and as they are thin metal instead of vinyl, should I be aware of anything ? Should I laquer over them ?

    Thanks ;)

  2. Hi guys.

    I tried a replacement white LED for my glovebox but it wasnt bright enough so I went back to the bulb. It then stopped working altogether, neither the original bulb (286 5mm wedge type) nor the same type LED. I tried switching them around in case the polarity was wrong but no joy either way. I can't find the fuse in either of the footwell fuse boxes. So is it the actual switch unit that has gone on me or what ? Any ideas ?

    Also I wanted to see what type of bulb was used in the rear fog switch/washer jets/headlamp adjust switches with regard to making them blue. I see they are minute twist-type, dunno what else to call them but really tiny - half the size of the glovebox light, but when I replaced the switches one of the tiny things in the rear fog switch no longer worked. Again, can I get these things to buy or am I gonna have to get a whole new switch. This is really niggling me now - probably some weird punishment for being nosey lol.

    Suggestions please..... :blush:

    Thanks :)

  3. I just use the cheapest car plan stuff! Never really thought about screen wash that deeply! ;) LOL

    nah, me neither :lol:

    just put my new wipers on today and then thought about using de-ionised water plus adding the screen wash and if the loss of ions in the water would affect the screen washs' effectiveness...........guess that's the researcher side of me coming out!! :)

    Note to self - stop thinking so hard about things :shutit:

    I'd be interested in the answer to that question too. - Tell us if u find out mate :)

  4. Hi guys

    - At the risk of sounding like a bit of an idiot....If I wanted to try a bit of this stuff on my trip to the petrol station, would it be safe to put in in my car ? It is completely standard, engine wise for an IS200 SE Auto. I'd be interested to know if I'd get any benefit if I tried it :)

    The ECU would need to be reset directly after refuelling with the 102 Octane..there's a method for doing it on this site somewhere. so do a search. Alternative would be to leave the ECU to set itself, but as that's likely to take at least two tankfuls that's the expensive option.

    Could always try a percentage..say try 25% then work up to 100% over a period of time. :unsure:

    OK Thanks. I thought of the mixing but I was worried that would not be wise. So I can safely mix the 102 bp ultimate with any other regular unleaded ?

    But why would you want to run a standard car with this petrol anyway. I doubt you'll see any real benefit and the cost is :sick:

    Just pure curiosity hehe only a one off - I wouldnt fill her up just wait till I was near empty then pop in a quarter tank to see how she sounded/felt :winky:
