So I think you can rule that out. :)

Well I see a few Altezzas in similar condition to yours at £5000 plus but they have been up for sale for a while. Personally I'd say you'd sell it for £4000/£4500.

Looks good. How long did that take you?

I am thinking of getting mine paint corrected as the paint has lost 'it' somewhat. Just spent a good few hours filling in all the stone chips on the bonnet n bumper

I noticed mine was loose the other day. Had a quick look before I put it back on. Seems to be just a clip for the heating part and then there are a couple of plastic tabs which push into the electronic housing so seems pretty straight forward to me.

You could also try applying a very thin layer of washing up liquid onto the glass. Works the same as the anti fog stuff...just free :)

Autosol is your friend. I use it to polish the exhausts on my motorbike.

Is it just normal condensation due to it being cold outside or is it proper droplets of water dripping inside the car?

If it is the later I would say there was something damp inside your car, either in the boot or the back seats.

I always drive with non-circulating air on as I find the lexus really prone to steaming up very quickly with the air re-circulating.

Nice one Mikey.

Ill leave it connected then :) ;)

Can anyone enlighten me as to what the tube is that runs from the top of the engine into the airbox and exactly what its purpose is?

Just it seems as if it would be a hot air feed which just seems a wee bit strange to me.

Ta very much.
