  1. I ban Wozza for not noticing how scruffy I am..
  2. I ban Whiteman as he should be finding something to do, and not taking it out on anybody else.
  3. in a nutshell... no, I can't say for sure.... my oil was in poor condition which is why I changed it.. I also have to say that Lexus states that the fluid has no need to be changed under normal driving conditions.. and we all know that this is not completely true.... always change if brown or smells burnt. But there is so much evidence out there that suggests that the only fluid that is 100% compatible is T-IV. In an ordinary auto transmission, it wouldn't be a problem, but ours is controlled by a computer that is expecting T-IV fluid in there... anything else can cause juddering and chatter, caused by the computer compensating for the wrong fluid, and even though it is only slight, it is still putting an excess strain on the box, leading to premature failure..

  4. Magnatec is a good oil, but is only a hydrocracked dino oil, but the law states it can be called a semi synthetic... It also has a very high ash content which can block oilways if left in too long.. Some of the best oils are Mobil 1, fuchs, silkolene, motul etc of the fully synthetic type.. The recommended oil is Toyota longlife, which is fully synthetic, hence the long time between changes.. semi synth should be changed earlier.. There was a special offer at my local toyota dealer, who had the longlife oil for £12 (half price) so I bought a couple.. John
  5. Hence why my car will never go to a Lexus dealer for a service... However, I do trust what the manufacturer says in my handbook, and the service manual.. which is why I bought T-IV And I can say the car runs much better, gearchanges are smoother, and vibrations are non existent.. a noticeable difference from what it was like when I bought it... John
  6. I noticed he also sells the DVB-T tuner for £99.. The Camera and aerial are extra as well.. John
