IRL

I went to our place in Mojacar in Spain a week last Monday and with a trailer with two quads and two motorbikes on it I got 18mpg over the 1650 miles down there, on the way back with no trailer and the same weight except for the 15,000 B&H's I brought back I got 26mph.

My car has nav and I was supprised to see that the trip was spot on. The most I've had on the trip was 415 miles after filling up and 32 mpg.

BTW very comfy car for a long trip and it was very nice of Lexus to lend me the cd-rom's for France and Spain.

Back down in a few weeks with my Scarab this time.

I've had this before, just count the days, when it get to 59 then leave him bad FB. You only have 60 days to leave FB so maybe he won't have the chance to leave it for you.

Those wheels look good, can't wait to see them on the car

This is what happened to the BBS's on the wifes S4 thanks to the brother in law

They'll look great on your car mate

How come the tyres sit behind the rim? My tyres overhang the rim about 5mm to protect them from minor kerb damage like that.........

Because the wheels are 9.5" with 235/30/20 tyres.

I have done that trip loads of times as I go home(Wexford) every couple of months and I've never had a problem, even in the brothers Murcielago.

Just watch those dreaded curbs....

If anyone could tell me how to change the box fluid I'd be most greatfull

fantastic looking car :D

its great how those 20" wheels make the brakes look small, but at near on 14" they are huge

haha very true, you would have a hard time finding anything bigger and they do look small :D

These are what I put on my Final Edtion Audi S8, 396mm with 8 pots

I love having good brakes

I checked the oil when hot, after driving the the car and without turning it off I go through all the gears with a 2 second pause between gears, then with the car in park and still running I checked the oil.

I drive with the VSC and PWR on but will try a few different ways later today.

Good to know that you think that it doesen't sound too bad.

Only one way to go and that's Michelin PS2's

And another.

I've always used Zymol on my cars and tought it was great but that looks better.

Are we brothers, because I was thinking just the same.

New here and to Lexus, I've bought a 98 GS300 with 134k on the clock. The box changes as smooth as you could wish for but when I'm comming up to say a roundabout and I let off the gas to slow down and then gas it again the box is slow to take up.

I've checked the oil level and I've followed the procedure but the level is about an inch over the top mark.

One thing I must say about the car is that for the miles on it(full Lexus history)the car seems so tight, no rattles or anything. Why didn't I go for Lexus before know. The only problem I have with it is the sat nav, if the were the only problems that I've had with my other cars I be as happy as a pig in the smelly stuff.

Cheers for any help you can give,

Will

Not far to go then!

There is a simpler method which is pretty much foolproof and I have known it be used successfully before, assuming it's a speeding ticket received in post not on the roadside.

Anybody who gets such a letter can PM me and I'll tell you how. And the best thing - it costs nothing.

Any of the careful lady owners ever tried the urban myth that saying to a male Traffic cop when asked if there was any reason why they were speeding "I need to get to a chemist..." blaming the excessive speed on their period?

I think I know the one your thinking about, I'll send you a p.m. about it.

If it is then it's one that I have used at least 12 times, over 50 times including people I know who have used it, works every time.

2. The spare. Now one of those poxy space-savers. Euch!

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

no way!

you sure that it wasn't just that car?

cannot believe Lexus puts a space saver on a £30k+ car.

I have an Audi RS4 that cost nearly 50k in 01 and it didn't even come with a space saver.

Any photos of your rims?

I don't have the rims your after but would be interester in the rims you have at the moment if your selling them that is!

I use Vower in my other cars but my GS came with a full tank of petrol and would think that it was 95ron but was wondering the same thing, if V Power would be better.
