  1. I am not confident to cut away the old struts to fit new ones. The ones on the LS 400 were easy to take out and replace but the RX ones seem different. I am not being tight, just cautious, as I don’t want to mess it up - my practical skills regarding cars, is very limited. I could drill a hole with some confidence. You only open the bonnet once a week. Just another solution to Steve’s pole!
  2. There is a serious side to what Steve has posted. I repla ced my LS400 bonnet struts buying from SGS. The strut on my RX300 is weak. I have. Thought of a solution, similar to Steve’s pole suggestion BUT WILL IT WORK? Is is possible to drill a small hole in the silver rod and place a split pin in it to stop it dropping? I realise you can’t / should not drill the pressurised damper! But can you safely drill the silver rod (sorry unsure of the correct term) this would be a very cheap and very practical solution.
  3. Very interesting thread and well done for completing the work successfully!
  4. Some surprising results. ID3 came 2nd! Pity it does not actually work!
  5. That seems to be a common thread on this site. Age related no doubt but still a bit mystifying to me. Reliability, refinement, longevity, comfort would all come before - whether my Nokia 3310 would connect to the CD player.
  6. A very interesting thread chaps. Had not used my RX300 for ........... a while ............ battery flat. Used a smart charger overnight - now shows fully charged. If the battery will not fully charge then I would suspect it is on its way out and change it. If I leave my cars for more than a week somewhere other than home, I will buy a jump starter as has been suggested.
  7. Who would have thought dazzle camouflage from WW1 would come back? It does make it difficult to fully see the lines of the car.
  8. Why on earth would a country like Iceland, with all its fish stocks, buy scallops from Argentina? The world has gone crazy!
  9. Sorry I said what I did! Keep us posted. I am gutted for you.
  10. Some progress then. I will keep my fingers crossed for you!
  11. Thank you for posting that, the text was interesting to read and explains when the ICE kicks in. The system is very clever indeed. I love the CVT box in my 400h - I would like to try the Corolla 1.8 and 2.0 to compare with mine.
  12. I agree with John, my ultimate convertible would be the SC430. But 3K will not be enough for one. MX5 springs to mind
  13. Do you never break the rules John? Occasionally exceed the speed limit? I only do it to work the brakes on the hybrid. I make sure it is safe to do so.
