Thanks to all the replies to my first post, seems to me i have stumbled over quite the community. to questions asked, i live in Fife at the moment but come from Edinburgh. (surfs up)
I have done some sole searching today on tyres and it would appear that that price will beat Costco, at the garage today i talked to the manager who looked a bit shocked at the price that i was offered in his abscense from the previous day, at one point he suggested i try Khumo tyres ,but i quickly refused.
The snow is arriving in a day or two so time is of the essance, i would have liked to replace like for like as the car at the moment has michelin primacy hp's but that again that was further expense however did get the price in the net for £157 each but excluding fitting.(did consider wrapping the tyres up and offering the kids a tyre each for xmas) dont think that would have gone down to well.
Had to chase up some wiper blades today anyone got a solution. I went to get 19"and 22" blades best price got was at euro car parts (£9.11), however when i took the entire blade from the car into the shop it would seem that the spoiler on the factory blade did not disconnect and allow me to fit the bosch blade. The guy in the shop was in the dark, then the boss came on the scene and said if it were him just disguard the the factory one...... dont think so mate, why would i do that, i actually like the spoiler and would wish to keep it.
Then decided to phone Lexus and apparently they would fit only the rubber wipe part for a staggering £15, dont know if i was being fleased or this was a lazy response , i then asked if a tech guy may assist in what would seem to be a small job, no was the answer, followed buy the job in fact is a fiddley and time consuming job.
I will get used to this chatty stuff, in that i mean, i dont half go on!!!!!
CHEERS ALL.
