  1. UPDATE Received one from Lexus Swindon (ordered over the phone) for about £23 and installed it last night. Wow! Gale force winds! So a massive improvement for not much cash.
  2. Hi. Has anyone any recommendations on a good indie here in London (I am near Baker Street, North London). Thanks
  3. Sorry mate, one day you will be as old as me :winky: £520 for me with Admiral - seems like London is just expensive (32, full NCB, no claims, no accidents) Had to argue for that, pointing out that I could be insured for £1350 on a £30,000 Ferrari F550 Maranello parked on the street so perhaps there was a bit of an issue with an old LS. Hmmm???? So they knocked about £100 off. Joys of London living
  4. Hiif you have Car Parts Direct or a similar outlet near you they will supply the part over the counter - costs around £22 - i had similar problem with mine when i bought it - i thought the blowers were made to blow like that to keep cabin noise down untill 7 months later when i went to get my air con charged and the chap pointed it out lol! - and it didnt look like it had been changed for years even though car was FLSH!? Hi Thanks for that - I just dropped them an email. I am going to check the *wad* of receipts and invoices to see whether the prev owner was charged for something that has clearly not been changed - akin to the £15 washer fluid 'game' that service centres sometimes play!

  6. Hi all The Lexus bug bit and I picked up a 1995 LS400 (full service history from Lexus, been through 3 cambelt changes, everything working so very happy). The only two negatives were: 1) road noise. It seemed very noisy and a lot of wind noise at 70mph. Having a look on here, I believe that it is combination of the tires (Pirelli's) and the road surface (managed to hit a 'smooth' section of the motorway and the dB dropped dramatically 2) low air flow from air con. Did a hunt around and saw reference to the pollen filter. I pulled it out and looks like it has not been changed in about 5 years!!! So I think this may be the root cause - does anyone know the part number and whether/where I could order online? I am in London. Many thanks, James PS: the directions that people posted to take the filter out were spot on!
  7. Hi I just bought a 1995 LS400 and it beeps in reverse...like a truck! Is this standard? It has aftermarket bumper sensors but they don't appear to work. Thanks James
  8. Indeed....been a lot of cases where people pay more than retail!
  9. That is madness! I think I will keep a much larger (and infinitely cheaper!) set in the car - which is what I do normally since most toolkits are next to useless anyways Thanks for the reply though
  10. Hi all. Great club here and have found a lot of the posts very informative. I was wondering whether anyone has a Gen 1 toolkit going spare that they no longer need. Thought that I would give here a shot first before the wreckers and ebay. Cheers James
