Yep talk to the dealer first before jumping head first i had a simillar problem when i first bought mine the inner tread on the rear tyres were non existant which i missed one phone call they replaced them both but be firm when speaking

Afternoon Guys When applying the clutch i get such a loud squek that even the people standing on the pavment look around ill get this oiled as soon as i can but can someone put my mind at rest and reassure me its not a sign that its on its way out??? Thanks in advance

I hear Mine click when i put on the rear demister comes from what sounds like behind the spedo cluster again just thought it was the relay

2 weeks they should have done by now i would try contacting them just incase your letter was lost in post or something because if your appeal fails which it should'nt from what ive read the next letter will be a nasty balliff one or something

Never had to make a claim :D but if its proved to be your fault yes you gotta pay the excess and with some insurance companys...someone correct me if i'm wrong your expected to pay the excess untill the matter is resolved then you will be otherwise refunded My pennies worth if you have any contact details for the biker make some sort of private arrangment with regards to repairs etc :winky: depends on him really but remember never admit liability thats up to the insurance company to decide if he was injured and claims your pretty much screwed Good Luck

Yeah thats if this fraudulent activity and non payment of direct debits doesn't effect your credit ratting so much that other banks don't want your business Sorry Just a thought Once this is sorted the account will be closed, and everything transferred to another bank.

Anyone read the sun this morning? pg16 the goverment are thinking off itroducing plans that allow cars to have mot's every 2 years and new cars not having their 1st untill 4 years old in a bid to save the motorist some cash........ :o are they feeling ok down there

Wow thats a pretty big accusation :o but i'm right behind you on this one although you will need to prove your findings and that may be very difficult it may be worth talking to the dealership first and listen carfully to their respone.............. Good luck

Morning Guys I did bring this up some months back but it never really got resolved so i'm going too have one last stab before I head to lexus its only a small issue but one off those irritating ones Whenever I turn left i'm getting a flapping noise comming from offside front as if something is stuck to the tyre its been checked a couple of times by local tyre fitters and passed its M.O.T no probs but when ive got the window down and turn left its very noticible its not rubbing any mud gaurds......... and was given the all clear buy Dr bones last month. So any suggestions or thoughts would be much appreciated Ta

Hi and welcome to the LOC don't think i can answer your question sorry but i'm sure the lads will help out very soon What do you mean by buzzing relay????? my pennies worth would be to reset the ECU although disconnecting the battery should have done this anyway.....

5 flashes dosn't completly alarm the car it enables you to have movment inside the vehcle ie dog kids etc

Ok got my renewal from Zurich a few weeks back £822 so as I do every year I search the market for a cheaper qoute A Plan comes up good at £740 so I phones Zurich to say I wanna cancel as ive found it cheaper elswhere ok Mr Wilson "let me speak to the under writters to see if we can match this" 2mins later I get the phone call back to say they will match A plans offer ok so when I recieve the courtesy call from A plan soon that could be itresting this could go on forever untill I end up paying nothing :duh: Does everyone else have the same problem? just wish yould get the cheapest qoute first and every time but hey were all here to make money I suppose

Hi and welcome to the LOC Yes your stereo can be repaired just send it to lexus and they will send of to be repaired at a cost of around £400 and it will probably break again six months down the line Most including myself opt for the aftermarket stereo but be warned this is not for the faint hearted their is very limited connectors out their that can be matched up to the amp behind the glove box in my case they bypassed the whole system The technichans i used thought it would be an easy job although i knew it wouldn't :winky: they qouted £75 for labour and £25 for the facia before they seen the car. After they fixed it and after 2 visits they warned that the next lex to come through the door would lightley cost 3 times that

All the other doors in the car need to be locked :winky: before you do this procedure im in the same boat. anyone got an answer yet?

Just had Goodyear eagle F1s fitted buy the doctor £98 a corner on his advise is they would probably last the longest with my casual driving style I had bridgestone potenza's on before F :tsktsk: n Rubbish tbh started cracking round the rims after six months/3k

Right This is a must find requested by Mrs GWilso7 Had the car valeted today and they sprayed the upholstery with a fragrance called blueberry by neilson or something? Apparently you can also have this fitted to your aircon unit as per their poster on the valiters advertising wall but needless to say I couldn't say "how do I get this kit fitted" in Latvian so we left the conversation at that thinking I could find it online but I can't has anyone heard of such a thing being fitted to the aircon? must admit very nice smell keeps the car smelling genuinely fresh and new thanks

Can't offer any advise but really sorry to hear this hopefully its a clerical error and not fraudulant coz otherwise it will take longer to sought out I paid a lot of cash into barclays last year that was left to me by a relative and it went missing a quick chat with the manager had it sorted within minutes hopefully you will too

Hi and welcome to the loc

I currenlty work for the council (not parking services lol) if you put in an appeal wich you have done as i understand the 14day period bit is put on hold untill the argument is resolved may be diffrent for each council though it should tell you everything on the back of the ticket let us know how you get on

"grace period" being the key words however mentioning this article they might just think your jumping on the band wagon good luck

A Caption from my local rag this week may give you some idea FIVE parking attendants have been fired for the way in which they dished out 37 fines to motorists in High Wycombe. The five were dismissed for gross misconduct last week after an investigation by National Car Parks (NCP). They had been suspended on full pay before being summoned to disciplinary hearings at the Parking Shop in High Wycombe's High Street. It is understood that they were accused of having "falsified company records in relation to vehicle observation times". continued... The workers had to leave without being given any notice payment as a result of being sacked for gross misconduct. They will now have the right to appeal against the decision. The dismissals were as a result of what happened between August 3 and October 17 2006 when the attendants' hand-held computers were hit by a fault. This meant normal procedures could be over-ridden. NCP says the staff failed to give drivers the standard few minutes' grace period and instead immediately handed out the penalties to cars parked illegally in High Wycombe town centre. One car was even slapped with a ticket even though it was legally parked. Now members of Bucks County Council (BCC), which is in charge of highways, have been left embarrassed and angry after the blunders. All 37 penalties have been cancelled and BCC, which contracts out the attendants from NCP, is refunding everyone who was given a false ticket. “I was horrified it had happened because I’m anxious that the special parking area works well " Valerie Letheren, Bucks County Council cabinet member The attendants were able to dole out these tickets because of the fault with the computers. The devices do not usually allow them to print a ticket before they have carried out an observation period. The time varies depending on where the car is parked. In a disabled bay, there is no time allowance; it is three minutes for a yellow line and for pay and display bays; and it is five minutes in residents' bays. In service yards, lorries are given ten minutes. The software fault, however, let attendants by-pass the observation period and issue tickets the moment they saw illegally parked cars. The council only learned of the problems two weeks ago. Valerie Letheren, cabinet member for transportation at BCC, said: "It's not good news and I'm not very pleased about it. "I was horrified it had happened because I'm anxious that the special parking area works well and it works fairly and that's in my interest - it's in the interest of all of us." She added that because of the sackings, more attendants would be drafted in to help and the computers would be modified so this could not happen again.

thanks peter pm has been sent :D
