    You could machine polish it to remove most of visiblility that it has.

    Is it the pump and not the belt slipping and so only need a new aux belt?

    Well the 'expert' who did it was not so. As you can get a harness for an aftermarket stereo. I would think if it cuts out its the way it wired in but its not going to be easy to sort out. I would think get a proper lexus harness for an aftermarket unit and then solder and heatsink all the cables the 'expert' cut

    One tip from me spend the money on snowfoam it is so useful and reduces the amount of times I have to physically wash my car. Also get some decent tar remove or some Tardis from autosmart again saves so much time remove contaminants before claying.

    As above when warm but anywhere between 900-1200 when you've just started it

    Yes you have to take the unit out and can access the bulbs easily and change for LEDS if you want for a different colour. Do a quick search for stereo removal and you'll find out how to remove

    The car revs higher when cold and then will drop the revs to normal due to the sensor on the engine and will rev higher still soemtimes when really cold. What code reader are you using? Is it compatable with the car?

    Don't bother with the plugs as the standard denso ones are what you want. K&N panel filter and decat will give a couple of ponnies

    I would think it will ifx it as sounds like the thread has been stripped in the bolt hole

    You will always get peak power before the rev limit, that the way engines are designed to give progressive delivery up to a certain peak power point then will tail of towards the top of the rev range, look at any power run curve. Not sure what gear an auto should be run in but every car me and mates have had rolling roaded have always been in 4th. This may have an affect on the power curve??!!??!

    Re tapping the hole sounds like the only option. or do what my mate did once and put loads of high temp thread lock on it. Proper bodge

    You will lose around 20-30hp at the wheels when compared to engine HP depends on equiipment used. I would say you ahve some problems with fuelling /air with power figures that low. Somethings not right

    Also make sure you've not got a way in for water if you;ve had the front screen replaced. Get some cat litter in socks to keep the moisture down

    Holey crap thats insane amount of tyres. There is something seriously wrong with your car or your driving. No way should any car get thorugh them that quick. i used to drive about 40K per year and only got through a set

    Need to clean out the heater matrix with a good blast from a hose

    An induction kit is essentially a cone filter of some type connected to a pipe that is then connected to the TB. Make one with some suitable pipe work and your sorted.

    Its not about where its registered at. Its more to do with the fact that if you say your car is kept at X location and it then gets knicked from outside your house that is in Y location. You would have a tough time getting any money back from the insurance as you ahve provided false details about the car.

    Best to ring a few, footman james, HIC, Sureterm are usually competitive

    Headlights you can fit angle eyes to them Rears you can get different style aftermarket ones. Google is your friend

    Its a bulb
  21. mattc
    Its on the right hand sode of the engine. You can see it with the passenger wheel off.
  22. mattc
    As already said probably the unit has corroded more than likely
  23. mattc
    You need some T5 ones for the two smaller bulbs in the dash, eaither get nomral ones or the ones with 3 leds on the end
  24. mattc
    Theres nothing they can do about it anyway
  25. mattc
