KILLER1

Hi I was looking in my shed today and found a set of roof racks i cant remeber how much i paid for these from the dealer a few years back. A friend said place on eBay are they safe website never used and how much is a fair price for them thanks guys

Hi My car was a total right off last year and totally forgot i had a set of roof rails that i bought from lexus garage in Glasgow 2008.. Anyone got ideas where the best place to sell them and how much should i ask for them....

Hi guys put the car for mot on wednesday failed because:

1) Brakes calibartion problem only 33% seemed fine to me

2) Cracked windscreen ( Hopefully i will get a new one fitted over weekend )

Picked up a brake seal service kit from Glasgow Lexus... My mate garage spent nearly 3 hours each side .. Brakes are really sharp now fingers crossed it should pass

Hi ya i have had my Lexus for nearly a year its been a great car.

I was going to get my car serviced soon and i was wondering how often does the powersteering fluid need changed.

Also do many people change the gear box oil or best just to leave alone....

Hi ya i was looking at buying new tyres i was wanting know how important is the folling...

v or w speeding rating.... Higher the speed better the tyre

load index is this important 87 against 91

I dont have a clue just want some simple advise

Hi guys, Has anyone bought DIAMOND BACK tyres or KENDA tyres.... Quite cheap off eBay... Just wondering if anyone has bought them before.. Would they recomend them

Hi i was just washing my car and noticed the back brake discs are SLIGHTLY rusty looking, My neighbour has a 55 plate bmw and he is on 3rd one that i know of and ge says that it happens quite alot to all his bmw that he has had in the past........This is what he told me to do

But mate thinks no. As it could warp the discs

Spray wb40 go for a drive and 4 or 5 times over a 5 mins drive apply the handbrake slowly and then release while driving....

Anyone else beleif in this... Done want to do it only when the pads and discs are all new only 6 momths old

Hi i read some where if you change the timing belt you need to change the coolant.... What i WANT to know can it be done without changing the coolant... My car was in 8 months ago and i got it one by my local garage but I dont think he changed the coolant.... Thanks

Hi guys i posted a new topic yesterday about size of rims i should go for 17 and 18..... well my mind is made up 18 inch is the ones....

I need to know to questions...

1) What does off set mean

2) What is the right off set for my lexus is 200

Hi ya guys been looking at alloy whels packages as my standard wheels are totally ******** need powdered coated plus i need 4 new tyres.... Some good deals out there right now but dont know what will look better 17 or 18 inch rims....

last time i was looking at 18 inch rims i was told by shop that they will rub on the back if the car has a full back seat is this TRUE ?

Hi guys i was thinking of buying a set of new alloys from a company called wheel base anyone used them before... Have really good offers some honest advice would be good be stung before money is tight and not long before xmas Thanks

Hi ya guys went looking at alloys today and seen a few styles i liked when i asked if they came in 18 inch alloys.... He said to me it was impossibe to fit 18 inch alloys i can only fit 17 inch alloys only as i would need to change the arches as they Rub

Is this true or UNTRUE dont want my new ones to rub

Hi ya guys. I was cleaning my car today and noticed that my back tyres are needing replaced soon. The thing is all the wheels are looking really tired..... I was thinking upgrading to 17 or 18 inch

Anyone with aftermarket alloys can you post your pictures...

Anyone know where to get a good deal on alloys and tyre package

Sorry if this sounds like a silly question, but how do you know for sure that it's the trailing arm bushes if you haven't replaced them yet ?

Hi mate, Lucky enough that one of my pals works in the Lexus garage in Glasgow plus the mechanics in there are 1st class he asked one of them to have a quick look for me then told me it was the bush on driver side that was gone. Only thing is the parts dept was closed as it was sat afternoon and he doesnt know if the sell it seperate or full kit. I will let you know once it is fixed thanks for the LINK

Hi all I have been posting quite a few over the last week about vibrations through my steering wheel.

1st Thought it was wheel balancing got it checked twice

2nd Thought it was sticky caliper both taken off and checked. No faults plus new pads and disc fitted

3rd Turned out to be trailing arm bushes

Has anyone replaced these before and know where the best palce to get them as its xmas and money is tight ta P

Hi all, has anyone had a sticky caliper..... Can it be fixed or does it need a new part.... how much would it cost

Sounds like a sticky caliper to me, had the same problem earlier this year!

I have swapped my wheels round and the local tyre place a good friend said that the tyres are all good quality Bridgestone and balanced....

How did you know it was your caliper and how was it repaired... Thanks Paul

Hi ya Guys,

I noticed over the last month my steering wheel becomes very shakey between 55 mph and faster becomes worse, Almost feels like tyres are not balanced. Virbartion is really, really bad. Steering wheel moves side to side.

I got the tyres checked and the did not need balanced.

Checked tyre pressures they were ok too

Pulled over when it happened the last time as it was really bad could hardly go above 50 mph but time before that i thought was just a bit of rough road surface and when i relised it wasnt the road it stoped after couple of mins but this time it lasted alot longer, happened on various roads and it different times.

After i drove off from checking under the car turning the steering it was ok... STRANGE ONE......

I noticed about a 3 months ago that when i start up the car from being cold and drive off you get a wee noice from power steeing, Goes away after a sec or two ... Could it be my powersteering PUMP. CHECKED FLUID AND ITS OK, NO LEAKS??

DO YOU NEED TO CHANGE THE POWERSTEERING FLUID EVERY COUPLE OF YEARS OR IS IT LONG LIFE< I HAVE NEVER CHANGED IT IN ANY OTHER CAR I HAVE HAD?

Hi ya Guys.

Hi i was wondering how hard it would be to change my anti freeze. I bought the lexus stuff from dealer. Just wondering how you go about doing or im better to get my local garage to do?

HI Guys for two weeks i have had squeeling noise coming from my back brakes and the front were worped.... Got them all changed for under £300 QUID... Went to PARTCO and managed to get front and back pads and discs for £160. Went to Lexus garage and picked up an oil filter then i put in the Beast to my wee local garagein Kilmarnock Scotland .

1: Changed the pads and discs FRONT AND REAR

2:Serviced the braking system

3: Changed the brake fluid

4: Oil and Filter ( I supplied the oil Castrol 10w 40 WAS THAT THE WRONG TYPE OR DO THINK IT IS OKAY)

5:issued a full reciept detailing all the work.

Only £100 hey good guy used him few times done my timing belt hard to get first class guy like these now!!!!

Try giving Kenneth Brown Engineering a call.

He is based in Hillington and I have used him before for getting wheel alignment done on various cars.

I too am suffering from excessive front inside tyre wear (AGAIN!!!!!) and am going to be in touch with him over the next couple of weeks to see if he can dial the car in to the settings that are used down at WIM. I have already contacted WIM and have a copy of the full revised geometry settings that everyone says make a difference. It is just a case of getting in touch with Kenneth Brown to see if he can apply these new settings to the Lexus.

His details are as follows:-

Kenneth Brown Motor Engineering Ltd

36 Hepburn Road

Block 108

Unit 7

Hillington Ind Est

G52 4RT

Tel:- 0141 882 6757

E-mail:- kbm.engineering@virgin.net

Let me know how you get on and if he can set the car up to the revised settings or if you find out someone else who is willing to apply the revised geometry settings in or around the Glasgow area. If you contact WIM they can mail out the revised settings to you.

Hope this helps.....

Thanks for that mate. I will give him a call...
