wished it was mine to sell not that i would sell it anyways lol i think its beautiful. there is an ebay item number at the top of the thread and its on ebay.com.

sorry to hear this mate, what car park was it as i live in Reading? and hope it gets sorted soon

yeah its a shame he cracked the rear end on those pallets, but still some quality skillful driving i think top gear should send old james to have a go to see if he can do the same course! would of also liked to see the clocks for his speeds as well.

hello mate. it could be worth you getting one of your own obd2 code readers (about £30 on fleabay) and seeing if there has been anything mis-diagnosed? but sounds like your heading in the right direction to get it all sorted.

ebaymotors.com item 170278800911 Some lucky person is gunna have a good christmas when they unwrap this little beauty, i wished i could have it! its only done just over 3Kmiles and it been loaded with nearly $10,000 worth of kit. the one off sonic blue mica paintwork and they only want $52,900, original price $70,835!!! heres some pics of it for us to drool over so we dont ever forget its perfectness lol, and the new owner better keep it clean :)

Aztec you are using uv coloured leds, do you get any problems with these as uv light is bad for your eyes are they really bright. i would like to uv parts of mine but dont want to be blinded while driving lol.

cool :) sounds like i better get back down to the gym again then

do we have steering locks on the is? just i can never seem to engage it with keys out the ignition, or am i just not turning it far enough??? cheers Dean

what is the material in the door cards is it proper suede or the faux type?? Aaron have ya gone home yet lol need some piccys :)

was it an easy job to get it retrimed how much did it set you back? also what material did you use??

was the lining for the roof ever produced in black?? Cheers Dean

some glue should do the trick i would of thought? i've got to do one on mine as well not got round to it yet tho

thought it had onein the backbox bit of it oh well still got lots to learn. i wouldnt put it past the neighbours cat to be hiding in their now winters coming

All parts come in a Toyota box to you know when your a kid and the best toy was the box? can you imagine how fun it would be if the box still came with the car hehehe

think mine has toyota etched in the lights, and i think the radiator has toyota written i think theres probably quite alot which is labelled as toyota

about the alloy wheel refurb i found this diy refurb kit by etech for £27 on espdesigns webpage, could be worth a saturday afternoon of fun knowing ya did them yaself :D

right i've had the battery off for most of the afternoon, and i just been out to the car to reconect it all up, and ALL THE LIGHTS ARE NOW OFF YAYAY!!! i took her for a little run around the block but when i put my foot down the pickoff is very sluggish, anyone know why this would be? would it be the fuel mixture as the car has to learn it all again, even tho the air/fuel ratio gage was reading normal and also whats the best way of letting the ecu relearn all it needs to know? and i gotta set up my head unit again!! lol all fun and games :)

coolio i'll try disco'ing the battery for at least 30minutes this afternoon when i get home and i'll look under the car to see if i can see the sensor hanging like tyrone mentioned earlier, and from the diagram that was provided by aztec i'll check all the conections for the sensors re-seat them and see what happens, wish me luck lol speaking to a work mate this morning about why it wouldn't start properly he said it was probably due to the car over fueling due to the sensor not working will this resolve itself when i get a new sensor or do i have to flush the fuel line or anything specific??

right i got in the car this morning started it up and as i rolled backwards the TRC control light and the VCL light illuminated and the engine management light is still on as well. all three shone at me from behind the wheel like they were ambushing me first thing in the morning! so i turned the car off then went to start it up again the start was very rough and only just managed to get going so i jumped out and drove my mums horrible clio to work. what a great start to the week! :( would just the o2 sensor cause all these other lights to come on as well??? please help!

yeah these forums really come in handy i used to be in the STowners club before i had the lex, so i know all about finding that perfect little piece of information when you really most need it from the people who know the most :P Still gotta solve the problem of the gages and window lock mystery though

cheers :) cant believe they wanted to charge £300 quid for it!!! scam artists :(

cheers for that peeps i'll have a look in the morning when theres a bit of light to play with, if i do need a new sensor and its not just a case of its come unhinged off the bottom, will this one on ebay do the trick item 130257756115. thanks for all your advise :)

right i took her to lexus reading earlier, they have found the problem to be the oxygen sensor, at bank 2 sensor 2. does things ring any bells? anyone had this problem before?? and where is this bloody sensor located??? the other thing is they want £300 quid for the new part and to fit it. :o i tried at unipart to get the sensor but we dont do them (i work for unipart) so does anyone know of elsewhere to get one from or have a working one that they dont need and i'll take it off your garage shelf for a reasonable price please, all the more help the better as im pretty sure this is a job me and my mates could do rather than spend £300 on letting them do it, i can put the money i save to a carbon bonnet or an s/c!! yay :) cheers kids

For benefit of gord, i brought the car about 2 months ago, with all the acessories and work being done by previous owners, no engine work has been done, apart from air filter and zorst. (plans for future tho :)) im not sure who linked up the gages so i'll have a look when im home to see if i can find any paperwork for it (theres a few receipts for it but i dont think it lists all the parts, all i can remember at this time is that 2 reciepts i got total like 12grand!!! i've only noticed these faults in the last 36 hours, the engine management light came on as i was exiting a slip road on a 40 mph dual carriage way so wasn't booting it as hard as i could of been, and then on the way back home coz i had my mates kids in the back, i locked the windows and noticed my gages were dead, so i hit the window switch again and my gages came back on??? we did a bit of investigating under the bonnet the engine seemed to be slightly warmer than it normally should be to touch but noticed that a regulator (think its the fuel reg) was really hot and the old boy i was with said that that could be the problem. we checked all the fuses and connections that we could see. it all seems a bit wierd to me? hope this helps explain things mate.
