If you take a look to http://www.philognosie.net/index.php/artic...rticleview/120/ , sorry its in German, you will recognize a EU regulation out of 2003 and its says that when you have the IBAN and BIC it cost you only the same money as when you send money within England (GB). If you do an online Internet transfer from your bank to my bank with IBAN and BIC it cost you nothing, so I find the 20 pounds= 25 EUR are not leagle, I would try to get them back.

Barclay Germany is not Barclay GB, its the same bank, however.......

See you soon

Having done some investigation, I believe per EU regulation 2560/2001 prohibits banks from charging more for sending or receiving a cross border transfer within the EU than for sending or receiving a domestic transfer. However this regulation only applies if the funds were sent in Euro funds (rather than being converted to/from £ before sending by the overseas bank) and for amounts <= €50,000 and provided the IBAN of the receiving account was given.

So technically I think if you have euros on hand for your bank to transfer then it should be free, but the bank will most likely either require you to have a foreign currency account first, or some other stupid way to try and rip you off of more money.

I'm going to be at JTS w/ TOC, I might be able to help.

I know how to change a tyre/wheel, but anything else somebody got to tell me how to do it

If you value seeing behind you while reversing, I would advice against LEDs as the actual light output usually is lower then normal halogen bulbs.

For 7440 and other common LED bulbs, I believe several LOC members including myself have used this particular seller (warden_jp2002) and the products are of good quality.

Don't forget if you use LED bulbs for indicators, you either need load resistors or a LED specific flasher relay (also sold by mentioned seller), I got one installed in my IS and can confirm that it works.

If you would like to join the Toyota Owners Club on the club stand, please complete the attached form and send it back to JTS organisers.

The deadline for entry is 28th May, don't leave it too late though if you want to be sure to get the pass in time for 1st June.

Don't forget it is the TOYOTA Owners Club, not Lexus.

Is this now happening on the 8th? If so I can attend, otherwise if it's 1st then I have to miss this one due to the JTS show in Silverstone.

Nice to meet everybody there.

Hi,just a few questions.is there a form to fill in with details of my car and ,does the hotel send anything to say if i;m booked or not

No and no, although the application does ask you for your Lexus model.

how much did u pay for your eurotunnel tickets return.thanks TERRY

My ticket is about £70 each way.

What time are people planning to get there?

You know you can get them from the UK too right, the left one is only like £14, you didn't have to travel to Tokyo for that

I use the TRD round leather one (left), unscrew the chrome one then screw the new one in, easy!

You have to get your own Eurotunnel ticket.

We'll be meeting at Maidstone Services M20 J8 at 11:00 on 4/7 and convoy the rest of the way to Germany.

Just out of curiousity, how much did your bank rip you off for making an international bank transfer?

Several of us will be as well.

Good tips for the footwell lights on using the ignition barrel timer, as I plan on wiring them up sometime in the future, once the fiasco of the under door light is sorted (to clarify light up the ground as you step out type).

I understand where Geoffers is coming from, thus I have sent my apologies and thanks again. I do wish I have been given the benefit of a doubt as I feel I have been courteous at the meet and in my corresponding PMs, but no harm done I'm willing to admit my shortcomings.

So far

Tried replacing SRS-B fuse, no good.

Replugged connectors, no good.

Problem is I have no circuit tester, so I can't say for sure if there even is a current running through the two wires leading to the connector (under door LED strip tapped in).

Potentially a door sensor problem, unfortunately there is so little slack on the connector on the driver side I can't even disconnect it to try it on the other side, guess will have to get a new one and try it out. Am I missing something else?

Thanks for all the suggestions so far.

Not telling you because I'm spitting my dummy out for you not even saying thanks for the circuit diagram I spent hours on. Especially considering you'd sent me a mail asking if I'd done it yet.

Do you get power to the connector in the footwell? The one that goes into the door at the risk of being obvious. If so, it must be a connector. If not, then have a look at fuse labelled SRS-B. It is the door fuse, 7.5A

I do apologise that I had not responded as I was going to tackle it last weekend and responded with any queries, but I thought the footwell lights was straightforward and attempted that first, but managed to somehow messed it up and never got round to it

In my defense though, I did "thanks in advance for your assistance" when I enquired for progress, but I'm sorry I didn't follow that through after you sent me the diagram

If you are still willing to help me with the wiring of the circuit diagram, I do have some more queries......

Unfortunately I don't have a circuit tester, but the under door LED strip nor the door marker seems to be getting any power, it defo was working before the door card was taken off, so I can only imageine something got shorted.

Open to suggestions, I'm totally baffled.

Much appreciated, I tried all sensible fuses and nothing worked.

Does anyone know if the door marker lights on the front doors run on seperate fuses or not? My passenger side stopped working while I was trying to install an under door light (and yes I have tried changing the bulb).

If they are on seperate fuses, does anyone know which one it is? The description on the fuse panel isn't very helpful. Otherwise if it isn't a fuse problem, anyone has idea what might be causing the problem?

You may want to give a little leeway for eBay listing fees, and paypal fees as well if you paid via that method.

Pretty sure he shipped 1st class though on mine, although we all know the reliability of Royal Mail is renowned

I think mine took nearly 2 weeks to arrive, I did e-mailed him about 1 week in and he explained his situation, so I was ok with it.

Impressions so far, again I stress these are totally subjective (and biased?), so don't hold me against any claims if you don't see any difference.

Increased hp/torque

Can't say there is, but the car does handle fuel cuts smoother.

Improved fuel economy

So far none observed.

Stabalised idle

Since idling has never been a problem, can't say I've noticed.

Brighter lights

Seems to be a little bit brighter, but without any proper measurements hard to say.

Quicker engine starts

Again my engine always rolled over first time round, so no difference observed.

Reduced emissions

Not measured.

Reduced audio noise

My local radio reception (Northants 96) appears to be better then before, doesn't get overridden by another nearby local radio (Horizon MK).

Disclaimer

Totally subjective, unscientific observations, not properly measured, may be biased.

I'm travelling at the following times:

Eurotunnel

Outbound Friday 4/7 12:20

Inbound Monday 7/7 14:20

Staying over at a hotel in Koln on Sunday night, might as well do some sightseeing in the city after going round the ring.

Well if it doesn't clash with WIM open day, I might be able to make it.

Personally I think it looks better that the rear tints match the windscreen, but then I'm biased caused I have the same setup on mine.

Hum.... looking at the number of people unavailable, I'm going to give this one a miss.

Same here.

Mate if you're based in Hemel, then go to a place called BJV Engineering (wheelrefurbishing.com), they're probably about 10mins from where you are as they're in Flaunden in Herts.

I popped into their place earlier today to get a quote for some repairs myself, prices are great and their work is very good, saw some of the examples they had just finished. If you google them, you'll find them recommended on many forums...........as they're so close to you it's a no brainer where to take them, but they also have a free collection and delivery service too :)

In case if you don't know, WIM refurbish wheels too (it has a working relationahip with BJV :P ).
