on the subject off code readers.were exactly do you plug these in? i also have a trc and abs light on ,,,,,,but i have put this down to the car sittin for a yr.....cheers(sorry for stealin ur thread)

same boat as me matey..shes mega greedy.

depends,,,,,really big bonnet.....usually have to blend colour onto top off wings etc..so theres no shadin difference £300 sounds alright.....basecoat £40 a litre and a laquer pack £23 .so a £100 all for materials before you start....i hate paintin bonnets....its the focal point off the car really

cheers..lads.......hope to be some help......yipeeeeeeee.....as for hats and horses....retired this year...absolute burst my rear end last yr...keepin the gypos at bay by over pricin everythin they bring to me...put it this way there yard is full off unfinished/painted motors....

as above....internet probs , ex wife givin me grief .life in general....had the lexus 6mths now.love it.....no major spends except two rear calipers that shattered when changin the bads,and a btm balljoint....to be expected....goin to keep her plain , sensible...been spendin most off my time and cash on this..stripped, scrapped and painted inside and out...waxoiled..shes gettin the works

complete oposite from the is200 ....the girl detests it...but its been a winter project and to be quite honest . hopin this summer....sittin on a f plate.true classic 80s mobile...

:shutit: the girl drives it day to day and burstin my arse.......mpg? £10 as she puts 33 miles.....thats a bit harsh. done the plugs. air filter. etc/this is around the city, normal?

two ginger bottles and a dandy

well paid 500 , spent a bit o time and love then some one rear ended her....insurance paid out 1500 , i bught it back for 220 and sold it for 850.it all adds up ......not quite the lexus

just sold it about 7 weeks ago to a young lad...to be expected really . his word were how fast does it go and gimme it.......bloody shame really spent a lot off hours on it at one time..........just too noisy and rattly though

yes off course

and boy did i like it . i had to be in dundee for the weekend....finished paintin a car on fri night and left kilmarnock about 20past 8.and hit dundee at ten. Not bad timing really......comfy and quick once it got up there.....95 constant........love the car 255 miles to 40 quid not bad i thought

could just be crap in the lines . a bottle off redx fuel injector cleaner ma solve the prob....then go and give it some welly.as for thr trc light . mines was sittin in a breakers for a while and i too have this problem with it flashin

645 traders policy . as i like my toys

plugged the car into my mac tools code reader and it came up no codes...........but it also said misfire supported,any ideas?

cheers chris

G3 or G6 dependin on how deep they are .......available from most autoparts suppliers.....scratches? depedin how deep they are .can be removed by a wee tickile off a p2000 pad and then some polish as above using a poishin machine etc.......wot colour is the car?

a near impossible question to answer bud. could be a million things ...sorry

back brake pads have been scrubbin ....managed to get a set o pads cheap through work .....chapped the retiang pin out and the lug snapped off the caliper........few chosen swear words....drilled the top at both sides and placed a split pin through both pads as well as the pin at the bottom .tackled the other side and bolocks it happened again.......there holdi but you can feel them tuggin when brakin .........need to rear calipers arghhhhhhhhhhhhh

ayrshire, kilmarnock .originally from fife and with a name like mcdaid , i dare say from the island aswell.......drivin a w plate is200

nasty buddy ......was up at crail in june at the banzia (jap day) quite fancied the driftin .....not now though,hope ypu get it all sorted

still to try the roundabouts , was a master in my old E36.the only concen with this toy is the girlfriend . shes still young a mere 25 and its her first RWD .........i am scared for the winter

took the car to work and baked it for an hour just to cure the paint correctly.........then washed it, pullin out from the wash bay the rear gave that long forgotton (missed sideways )action ...that was it . it all came back, spent the next ten mins gettin to know my car ...purely for saftey reasons.....do-rings , burn outs and general joyridin .All on private property off course..... mental.drove like miss daisy all the way home . just in case i had broken somethin....

canter, the door panel anyway ...theres the usual hidden screw at the interior handle . just pop open the little cover behind this. also a screw in the armrest part .lookin down you will see it ...now the cover at the hadle pops out and can be a bit off a bitch ......pop the interior speaker cover off at the A post on the door.....pull the bottom off the panel away from the door and upwards.....the clips are the best i have cme across. they dont break .i have had mine off a few times......as for the window . could be nasty .cant help there. i replaced my door handle and it was brutal

zvh out off wot bud? excuse my ignorance,i was thinkin somethin meantal at one time. the xr is mine not really in a rush as summer is buy now.........bein a previous fto owner . i was thinkin V6, i know an old hand with too much time on his hands and cheap ....
