  1. I read some where that if you remove every area of the motor trade,and i mean every thing,the making of new,making of parts,tyres,exhausts,motor sport,you get the idea!!.This would reduce the pollotion in the world by 8%.If on the other hand you got shot of all the cows(or corked there bums),you would reduce pollution by 12%.Simple really,black coffie and toast on your drive to work! By pollution im talking about co2 and green house gas
  2. So many questions.I serviced my Gs300 sport just before i left Toyota/Lexus.I replaced the diff oil,a.t.f(you have to get the right stuff,think its dextron 5),brake fluid,spark plugs(use the ones that are ment for the car,sport is different),coolant,re-gassed air con and changed pollin fillter.i allso added prolong engine and gearbox oils,not sure how much it works but lexus and toyota both recommend it.I have a k&n air filter so did not change that.The engine oil was castrol magnetex,diff oil is castrol syntrax.If you are keping the car then change the lot,you know it has been done then.The gear box was much smoother after the oil change,it felt great before!.I change my pollin filler every year,it makes a big differnce.Known problems are noisy brakes from pins and slidders,if you are doing them then that sorts that issue out.Check all front ball joints out for wear,and thats really about it. :winky:
  3. I know it sounds silly but try your local lexus dealer for there trade ins,old ones just go to trade.Where i used to work phoned me last week,tehy had a gs300 s reg trade in(with cloth trim!!).I could of had it for $500 with 8 months tax.
  4. Heard on radio one today you can use 2500 liters before you pay tax.And how do they know how much you have used?
  5. Why would you have to pay tax on it? You have paid tax on it when you bought the oil from Tescos. If you put it in your tank or the chip pan is your choice. A few of our Welsh brethren started doing this way back in 2002, but it was noted that the sales of cooking oil went berserk. Police couldn't miss the cars running it because of the smell and started to prosecute and/or report them to Customs and Excise 'cos it's tax avoidance http://www.sovereignty.org.uk/features/foo...th/biofuel.html I like the bit about Germany having done it for years and as a consequence Mercs are so accommodating that they'll run on lard http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/wales/2312521.stm ...and you might to tell your mate about the possibility of a seven year jail sentence. See now that does not suprise me,what a country we live in,we would rather the chippy and take aways pour the oil down the drain and cause all sorts of problems than let people use it as fuel!!!! God forbid they may lose tax Still,like i said stuff-em
  6. As talked about before i am using a mates MERC E300 deisel at the moment and found it did the same on fuel as the Lexus i own(due to the price of deisel).After a long talk with my mate we thought we would try his MERC on used cooking oil from a friends curry house.We got 30 liters of used oil and warmed it up a bit by in a pan(to make it thinner and easier to strain),we then poured it through a cotton pillow case over a container,this leaves clean oil with no bits.We then mixed £10 of deisel(thought we would use a bit of deisel just to thin out the cooking oil and add a bit of what ever they put in diesel to help) and poured into the MERC. I have did 400 miles and i can say that the car starts the same,runs the same,pulls the same and apart from selling like a curry house from the exhaust pipe,is the same as if on diesel!!! I will change the fuel fillter every 3 months(at a cost of £6)just to be sure. My mates curry house can-not supply me enough old cooking oil so i bought some new oil from tescos at a cost of 88p per liter,and mixed £10 of diesel again.This works just as well,just not as cheap!! I really did not think it would work,i have gone 700 miles with no problems at all.I would not try it on cars under warranty,but apart from that i cant see why people pay £130(and going up) for deisel. Not sure what the tax man thinks about it,but stuff him!!!!!! about time we found a way of avoiding some tax.
  7. I was shown this at work,and thought you all might be interested!! http://www.bmw-web.tv/en/video/gbiXGRR/BMW...del:%20Premiere
