  1. Here’s another Japanese import parts company….. https://www.megazip.net/
  2. My understanding is there is not duty on products from Japan under £135 ? See here…… https://wise.com/gb/import-duty/from-japan
  3. I’m a firm believer of a mechanical deterrent, the Stoploc pro elite does just that, if there are 3 cars like yours in one street, yours would probably be the one still on the drive in the morning , as the other cars without a Stoploc would be the easer target . Yes I live in the real world and if a thief wants your car he will get it but it’s just reducing your percentage chance of it being you . https://www.driveden.com/product/stoplock-pro-elite-steering-wheel-lock-6573 This is one of the few mechanical devices that is Thatcham Category 3 approved, seems £55.00 well spent 👍🏻 With electronics devises the thief doesn’t know what’s fitted to your car until he’s ripped out the bumper and wiring , with a Stoploc it can be seen as theft approaches the car …again it’s about reducing the percentage of you car being taken for the £55.00 outlay .
  4. If you do explore that avenue, be aware these companies don’t always get involved with import cars ☹️
  5. Think you might of hit the nail on the head , the 2001-2003 RAV4 has know problem with corrosion on the gearbox ECT, if the problem is fixed early the gearbox survives. See if these guys can advise you… https://www.ecutesting.com/
  6. This claims to fit a SC430…… ..but I guess you get what you pay for ☹️ https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/364490204531
  7. Just don’t put your hand on it then 😉
  8. Put the tape on the inside will look less noticeable…then black it over with a marker pen 👍🏻
  9. The speed sensor is also called an ABS sensor, so a look on the internet for a Lexus sc430 nearside rear ABS sensor, a few come up from genuine £270 to £35.00 copy a part.
  10. Had a look on Google and found the Lexus/toyota specialist…. https://www.toyo-tech.co.uk/
  11. Slightly more concerning if it wasn’t the Lexus it might have been the horse in the background 😮
  12. Owner said he was going to speak with his insurance, I would have fixing it and keep away from insurance. Insurance wise, it could have been bought back but would be classified as a Cat C and worth less on resale . Fixing it might cost 2k but with a retail of upto 8k…. Decisions decisions !
  13. Spotted this on FB, not sure what the news headlines would read…"mature Lexus driver, meets would-be rally drive in lane". Eveyone was ok and Peugeot was lifted off with a tractor, think the Lexus would be an uneconomical repair now ☹️☹️
  14. Got out for a little drive, not been washed this year but still looking precentable 😎
  15. 2004 model pair main manuals….. https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/142825490683
