hi paul,i got the coil overs fitted at westgate autos wakefield 07967107791 (richard) although any competent mechanic should be able to fit it.its vital the tracking on all 4 corners is setup after the coil overs are fitted,regards trevor

hi paul,got the exhaust done yesterday,sounds great.not too noisy just nice and throaty.LONGLIFE EXHAUST SYSTEMS IN LEEDS manufactured it but i think LONGLIFE is a franchise.it cost £399+vat.not had chance to drive the car yet as i have just had a knee re-placement so not able to get into the car! you can chose what level of sound you want so as i say until i drive the car under load i canot asses it fully,kind regards trevor

now fitted the meister roll over coils and i am delighted with the transformation of the car.much better feel for the car,superior ride (adjusted to soft ride) the whole job total cost inc fitting £825.the longest part was adjusting the suspension for the ABS i would fully recommend this upgrade

the tyre pressure unit is directly beneath the radio consisting of i large and 1 small plug.just pull them out and drive in bliss.its a 15 minute job

good decision,if you go to the fobo site you will see some cheap alternative tyre pressure monitors that alert your mobile and run off pill batteries

next week having coil overs fitted to each corner of my 2003 sc430 (£695)as I'm sick of the rear suspension banging about.will post my opinion when fitted

hi dennis,your are right about the quality of the sensors plus my wheels are showing signs of corrosion around the sensor.try and imagine the no of cars without. this option?? i feel its a over specified piece of kit.if you think about it how else would the sensors work with out a battery inside? they would not be able to send out a frequency.i don't understand why on earth you should tape them to the inside of the wheel as the system will not work in respect of low tyre pressure in that position.just pull the plugs out on the TPM under the radio its a 10 minute job and gives you peace!!

thanks for that,but i have disconnected the TPS module under the radio,i am also fitting 4 new tyres and will remove the sensors as the battery,s in sensors are exhausted.this is the 3rd car i have had with TPM and not one of them has been any bloody good!! there is no way that i am going to pay £500 for new sensors and fitting.i have been driving over 50 years and feel i am capable of knowing when tyres need air,the steering lets you know quick enough.

thanks for that

where does one turn off the tyre pressure monitor?

thanks peter

i have just bought a 2003 (53) sc430 where can i get an up to date nav disc?
