  1. You tell 'em Leddy. Glad you're finding it funny. I can just picture you, (Howard and Hilda) 500 cars held up and Mrs Leddy going hell for leather with those needles, knitting a couple of bobble hats! Good evening campers! Exiled (nice Name is that what you are) How did u know my names Howard and the wife is knitting me a lovley jumper do you want one too :winky: Love the comments being generated here not bad for some one who wanted advice on a towbar. WHAT A WORLD WE LIVE IN TTFN :P
  2. :D :D HAHAHAHAHHAHAHA Nice one Matt Hope to get you behind me one day I'll Slow Down MORE!!!!!!!!!! Cheers Leddy :P
  3. Ok Guy's I'm finding it quite funny how this resentment for Caravaner's is Ok a few Facts Motorways i stick at 60MPH 10 MPH below the LEGAL limit when towing and there are two lanes available for those in a hurry to pass. Other roads I tow at the LEGAL limits 30 and 40 MPH so no problem there unless you want to break the law and overtake me. Ok inclines i may slow down a bit but no slower than say a lorry or heavy loaded van I think you guys watch to much top gear (As I do) differance is i do not get sucked in by Clarksons Views. That's my two penny's worth :winky: Have Nice Day you all :P
  4. Sorry Matt555 But as you stated it's a personal thing and the Lexey looks great with the van
  5. Just had a witter detachable tow bar fitted to my is220d for pulling my Caravan total cost £356 Lexus wanted £780 well recomended it's strong and looks neat and tidy Cheers Leddy
  6. Hi guys thanks for all the advice. You will be glad to here i'm keeping my Lexy it's having having the tow bar fitted next week £360 (if anyone's interested). I will let you all know how it pulls the Caravan and will put pic's on the forum of the full set up. :D Cheers Leddy
  7. Very sadly I thinking of changing my Lexus is220d SeL (06 Reg) with sunroof and MM for practicality reasons (just started Caravaning)need a bigger heavier car So got a valuation from parkers (on the net) who said it was worth £23900 PX Value. Best offer so far PX on a Freelander2 worth £24000 is £19500 Salesman told me to ignore Parkers they over inflate the price and as a guesture of goodwill they would make it up the PX to £20000 So as it stands i've lost over 5k since buying the car at the end of January. So it looks like it 's towbar fitting time for my Lexxy Disapointed
  8. [ I towed a caravan with my IS 220d and never had any problems. I had the Lexus towbar fitted before I picked the car up. As Exiled said "the IS diesel has bags of torque 400Nm@2000-2600 rpm" and it pulls a caravan easily. Our Caravan (now sold) was a 2006 Sterling Eccels Jewel and seemed a good match. I would agree with Exiled other advice too. We started caravaning over 5 years ago and would recomend it to anyone, but read up on towing and loading advice, it will keep you safe. DieselDriver Thanks for the Information , Do you or any one else have a photo or know of a link so that i can see a picture of the towbar on the car so that it give's me an idea what one looks . i've heard they have to cut away at part of the bumper ? Can anyone help Cheers Leddy
  9. Hi Guys has anyone here had a tow bar fitted and got any experience of pulling a caravan with the 220D. The wife wants to start tourning the country and any info would help. Just been onto Lexus and it's about £600 to have a tow bar fitted OMG Cheers Leddy
  10. On another note, I bought my wife a Brand New A3 sportback with the DVD based Sat Nav. When we drove the car home we realised that our roadname was spelt incorrectly on the SatNav system. So every time we get in the car we can see our roadname displayed incorrectly which is slightly embarassing when we have passengers. . Hi Guys just for quick info I'm affraid this has happened with my Lexus IS22D Se-l Sat nav it also spelt the name of our road wrong and does not even accept our postcode (which was highly embaressing for the saleman who was showing me the system before i bought it So no browine point for the makers of our Sat Nav System either Cheers Leddy
  11. Hi guys had the same problem with my nice shiny caps they soon disappeared so i spent £9 on ebay and got myself locking ones with the Lexus logo on them been on now for 3mths with no problems i hope they are frustrating the hell out of would be theifs :winky:
  12. Hi Guys just got back from Lexus Chester My 220D Se-l just had it's first service £213 told them fuel consumption was poor they fitted a new 5th injector did a ecu remap at the same time also told them a couple of alloys are bubbling from the inside so a new set of four are on order and i'm waiting for them to be fitted so no complanits here. They even gave me an RX350 as a courstisy car wow what a motor :P SO a job well done that's if the fuel consump gets better (Watch this space!!). Cheers all Leddy
  13. Hi Guys just for info for anyone interested i've just bought an sony Ericsson K750i and it works a treat in my lexy is 220d se-l there was no problems transfering my address book to it and instant conection via blue tooth soon as i start the car up(Well recomended) :D :D :D :D Cheers Leddy
  14. Hi Guys just read all the comments on the fuel econ. I've been talking to a local Mechanic and he said that if you change gear at or around 2000rpm each time it should improve your MPG. :duh: So I have a set my rev indicator (Nice touch Lex)to come on at around 2000rpm to signal a gear change(woo F1 Stuff). if anything it looks quite cool and up to now it's not really a problem even hitting 6th gear at around 60-65 with no issues . As for mpg well it's too early to tell yet . But before trying this top mechanic tip I was getting about 420 mile to a full tank (£45 worth) with an average of 34.7 on the comp. Here's Tryin Leddy :D :D
