    Hi John welcome to the club, You bought the right car there I spoke to Keith in depth when he was after buying one a true gent.

    I think you have to operate the door locks to reset it. 3 units down from where I work is an Nigerian exporters I am waiting for the day when my ls ends up in one of the numerous containers that turn up to collect their collection of goodies that vanish in the dead of night.

    They are becoming popular in Nigeria now as they have realised the mercs are not as reliable as before.

    You will find another one, seems a bit off that he wouldn't take a £100 deposit, I tend to agree you have had a lucky escape.
  5. ManicMark
    Hope all goes well for you Keith.

    A bit of copper tube from your local friendly plumber will do the job just as well.
  7. ManicMark
    Well done that man & welcome.

    If you can afford to buy this car it is a superb buy, it is a late example & had a lot of expensive work carried out. I would if I didn't have my mint example.

    Sets off the alarm if you get car jacked, On South African models will activate the flame throwers.

    Hi to clean a particulate filter you need high revs for a extended period of time, You will not damage your engine as long as you are not on the red line.

    Not enough clearance between the callipers & the wheels for balance weights.

    Could have been replaced due to rust. I would want a look under the car as the top of the shock mounts look a bit rusty & that's well protected.

    I'm a LGV or HGV driving instructor, may as well get rid of all the signs as in my experience people don't bother to read them anyway. The sat nav generation just follow their little screen.

    Check for rust inside the sunroof also.

    My fan is a little bit smaller now but that's it all fixed.
  18. ManicMark
    I think a combination of the 2 old plastic & pressure from the speed.

    Well I was without my lex today the first time in 6 years of lexus ownership I couldn't use it. My shroud around the fan broke & was fowling on the fan. I think leaving late for my ferry on Sunday from my stay in Germany & the consequent 120 to 140 mph dash across Germany may have taken its toll. Fixed now with some instant metal so back in it tomorrow.

    I like the satin black front & rear bumpers.

    Hi the Hornet is Honda.The vtec vfr 800 is very comfy easy to ride handles well & goes like stink if you wind it up. The thunderace was a good bike the R1 took over from it. If you are looking at bigger cc bikes a honda blackbird or a kawasaki ZZR 1200 (brutal fast mind) I sold my zzr1200 before I lost my licence on it & went for a old honda cbr 600 to replace it, Plenty fast enough for me & it just took me on a 2800 mile trip to Spain & south of France & back no problems.

    Hi VfR 800 or a 600/900 hornet (to throw another one in the mix. You wont go wrong with a VFR800 though superb build quality silk smooth V4, they tour, scratch are comfy & reliable also good on the juice.

    Hi Profess autogas South Wales comes with a lifetime guarantee for £1400 ish you need to travel back for the 1000 mile safety & re calibration check also.

    I will post a couple more pics of mine, notice the coil put in the copper pipe this is at both ends (if there is a side impact crash the pipe will stretch rather than break) the pipe is run next to the brake lines. The ecu is next to the battery, the filler is neat & vented to air. A 94 litre tank in the spare wheel well gives me 350 miles on the run. Oh & hana injectors with the nozzles next to the petrol injector nozzles( not in the plenum) equal pipe lengths also.

    As a temp fix buy an airhawk seat cushion, I have one for my motorcycle & have done 13 hour stints on it (no sore bum).
