  1. Cheers guys, Turned out to be the battery in the end and the car I tried to jump start from doesnt like to jump start cars! Something about sensing too much drain??? anyway I'm back on the road now with a new battery as the last one had enough.
  2. Help folks, I've got a problem!! Got a call last night from the wife to say the car won't start. When I turned up the dash lights come on, but I noticed the clock and the radio had reset it's self, when you go to start the car it just goes dead, all lights go out and it wont turn over. then there is a faint beeping coming from the boot area. Tried jump starting it and also bump starting it but still nothing, then the dash lights wouldn't even come on. Finally got dash lights on but still didn't start. Central locking doesnt work and I have to lock all the doors seperately. She says there were no warning lights on in the dash before she stopped, and the car seemed to driving fine with nothing noticable about it. Any help would be much appreciated. Deeg
  3. I was quoted the best part of £450 for timing belt change from lexus in Aberdeen..... Getting it done by garage across the road for £260 - using Lexus parts. Cant comment on anything else as I tend to do servicing my self.
  4. Just ticked over 66,000 today and the timing belt is getting done tomorrow. :D :D
  5. Unless the oem advises against it then no, no reason at all. Cheers Guy So no real answers or info.................are you are just trying to sell your oil products???????????? Erm... You havent really asked any questions, and the one you have I have answered, so what are you looking for? What is it about semi synthetics would you like to know? Of course I am trying to sell my products, thats what I do! However this is not a sales post. As you can see its all usefull info... So make of it what you will :) Cheers Guy. Ps, forgot to add, dont bother with flushing additives as they can do more harm then good. Most are kerosene based and just too harsh and can even remove deposits made by bedding the engine in. Cheers, That answers my question about using a flushing agent before an oil change!
  6. How spooky I was bored this morning at my desk and was playing with a big clump of blu-tac and was just wondering if i would work the same as a clay bar... now my question has been answered.... will have to give it a go, only after I've used the last of my auto clay!
  7. Thats the most important thing to bear in mind..... remember it's a buyers market just now!! Nice looking motor by the way.
  8. Looks good, I like the look of the 3 bar grille aswell
  9. by emerald green I presume you mean this green??? Hope this helps
  10. Just got Falken FK452's on mine last month... cant fault them so far and decent price from camskill
  11. Yeah she mainly had paint work damage, mates who were in the car said my car took the brunt of it
  12. No just a bog standad Skoda fabia......
  13. Yeah bodyshop has quoted for the following. New wing New front bumber New headlight new lining of wheel arch New Alloy Repair and respray door. Yeah lucky about the IS220, but company handling the claim say I m entitled to same standard of vehicle as I currently drive. hopefully they say it should be back in just under 2 weeks but Im not holding my breath!
  14. I just drove my car home from Newbury to Inverness yesterday , im not planning leaving the country again for at least a couple of months . I think GT tyres in Forres do a descent laser alignment service (is this the same thing) so i was told earlier today so im going to give them a buzz tommorow and see what they are saying. Well as you can see from the post I just started my lex had abit of a argument with a Skoda at the weekend, Im currently waiting to get it picked up to go to the body shop. they said they will do a full allignment check I might try and get them to do it to WIM's spec. Otherwise let me know about the place in forres Im well up for a wee road trip up there mate.
  15. Well I guess the plans for the lexus are on hold for a couple of weeks. Ordered a clay bar, polish and wax for the Lex but this happens!! She failed to notice the car infront on the dual carrageway braking so instead of braking she cut across the lanes in to me!!!!! Nevermind courtesy car arrives tomorrow, Lexus IS220!!! might as well make the most of a bad situation.
