  1. It's a marker light, they are required for all cars in the USA. There should be a bulb that will glow it orange, if you have a look you will have a red marker on the rear side in the light cluster too.
  2. Could experiment by putting those lil silicone bags in them overnight with a bulb in to make it airtight, leave for a night or two, take the bag out and quickly put the bulb back in as to not let much air in. And then reseal... ?
  3. You will be surprised how much you can buy a whole door for from ebay, it will be even cheaper than a respray... I've seen a whole door with glass go for about £25 if you can collect...
  4. I got this same camera, just be careful in the summer as I left mine in the window and the heat has destroyed it. It's not melted on the outside...
  5. I have heard people who got this being charged more in customs fees than what the spoiler is worth. "Some might say you could always ask them to mark it on the customs form as a lower price and also 2nd hand"
  6. I think the sad reality is to keep it and try and sell the other cars if possible, nobody wants an IS. Because the average joe doesn't know the quality of the cars. I gave up trying to sell mine for the bargain price of £2k, so was forced to keep it until it's death. Unless you want to give it away to a car dealer for peanuts... If you want a sale, try £2k and keep ur fingers crossed...
  7. If you have deep pockets I would get a lawyer, if you write to the council complaining, they will brush you off because they know they can. If you are serious and seek advice from a lawyer they should take you seriously.
  8. Hvae headlights for sale if you want them, they are in great condition.. sent you a pm
  9. First time I have had the chance to drive in the snow, the car managed through the snow with no trouble whatsoever with the snow button on. So long as you don't accelerate too hard I had no problems, great car on the snow and managed to plow through it better than other cars on the way into Birmingham.
  10. Probablly trolls targetting your ad for a few kicks, cos people aren't REALLY that silly are they :D
  11. Have seen many bad sets of 4 go for £500, these are worth at least £500, possibily £600 in my opinion.
  12. I looked into the power to aerial and after some tests I found that my radio signal was crap cos the bluetooth adapter for my JVC headset saps power from that.
  13. No snow in West Mids here, hope there isn't any snow either I go back to work Monday
  14. Saw that last night, Alex Jones is a complete and utter nutcase. Although a very clever businessman, on par with Katie Price - would love to see his accounts for his many streams of income. They should not have gave him the platform to make more money, but it's all about viewing figures right...
  15. pretty high numbers for January considering most people are supposed to be skint.
  16. "THE CAR STARTS AND DRIVES, I HAVE DRIVEN IT UP AND DOWN THE ROAD FOR A QUICK TEST AND SEEMS FINE." I wouldn't touch this, the whole ad sounds like playing a bit dumb to a big problem...
  17. For a family looking for a "cheap" run around, I think the IS is great value for money. Sure you can pay out £10k for a tiny car with good MPG. I mean your options for say a 2003 saloon car are the Ford Mondeo and Vectra, both of which will probably cost you money in maintenance. Whereas the IS so far "touch wood" has not cost me a penny, except £5.50 wiper blades. Even with a diesel car of this age, unless you are doing a certain number of miles per year you won't get your money back. One of the sole reasons I have not purchased a new car at the moment is because there is no point. Why pay out £15k on a newer car that does 45MPG when I can keep my car which is valued at about 2.5k that does 30k. I don't work in finance but I am sure that the numbers are in my favour. Coupled with the fact I still have a lovely car that is a headturner. Some of you may laugh when I say the Kia Magentis is another great car that has gone under the radar. Only the other day I saw an 07 automatic with about 50k on the clock marked up at 3k. Full leather interior, electric everything, V6 engine. It depends on what you want from a car, if you have got it in your head you want better MPG, pay more for the car and more on maintenance. I think people are so fixated with MPG now as it is drilled home in such a way that the tax bands have changed, news on TV, prices going up. 30mpg is still excellent for a car of this age, considering it was probably on the drawing board at 1996/7 Dewfallsuk is absolutely right about people wanting smaller cars now, considering the roads are getting more and more smaller with allsorts of crap painted on them. Tesco reducing the size of their carpark spaces so you can just about fit a trolley in them. The big car is on it;s way out and has been for some years.
  18. These cars along with the Kia Magentis are the best kept secrets ;)
  19. What did you get for your part-ex if you don't mind me asking?
  20. One major flaw with these boxes is that they are unable to read the road speed limits. I had the confused.com iphone app that accused me of being a dangerous driver. Simply because I was doing 70mph on a duel carriageway to work. I think these boxes in their current form will come and go, I can see cars having some kind of camera to read road signs and a limiter being set in the car to prevent you going over. About 10yrs time as said above. As long as people drive defensively and anticipate an accident then the boxes are a waste of time. Nothing more than clever marketing by the AA.
