  1. i would of thought you could get it sold fairly quick for around £1200,it will be a bit different the rx,hope you enjoy it,sometimes you feel the need for a change
  2. the large one is the amazon,usually has the 4.2 diesel in it .they do 4.2 petrol as well,they are large vehicles to have in this country,tho they will pull anything,i' driven most of the older landcruisers, here and in australia,always ultra reliable.the most popular one here is the colorado landcruiser,a bit smaller,i don't know much about them after year 2000,like everything else they are laden with electronics.in oz you can buy the simple basic ones,cos they don't want electonic failures,out in bush ,the land rovers flopped there cos of unreliability,here it is inconvenient if you break down ,there its a matter of life and death.in oz alot of the luxury landcruisers are lexus badged i think they are the best proper 4x4
  3. its not just going into a city,parking an ls can be a problem,Brighton not car friendly or the easiest place to park,i used to go there alot
  4. sorry to hear that chris,hope something will turn up for you must admit i'm suprised,because yesterday morning ,a millionaire,ex public schoolboy ,told me everything was now ok ,and how much better off financially i am in the last year,i was pleased he brought this to my attention,because i'd missed it
  5. i do the same as Iain,i go on confused.com ,compare the market etc get some idea,then i might give some a ring,i can get ins for about £320 at mo,the only thing some of the excess are high these days,the voluntary and the compulsory add up.there do,esnt seem any point spending 2 or 3 times the amount really
  6. at the supermarket i go to ,there's a part of the carpark no,one parks in much cos people want to park inside really or to idle to walk far,i always park there i leave it on its own,but invariably when i get back someone has parked right next to me in spite of there being 50 or so spaces all around,the car must be a magnet to others
  7. i've used ad block for some time and it really works well.my 15yr old son installed it for me sometime ago,when he cleaned my computer out.Im 65 and can do most things,but he seems in a different league ,one of the advantages of having a 15yr old in the house,not too many others though
  8. happy new year to you,and everyone on here, wishing you all a great new year in 2014
  9. could of been more confusing had it been about east european cleaning products ie polish polish
  10. it would have to absolutely faultless for that money,plenty of cars at half that money,which would give the same pleasure and experience,just cos its alot of money does'nt make it good or any better
  11. im sure steering motors it on the same circuit as the big interior light the fuse under the bonnet,i know when i had my ist ls there was a problem,with steering motors & no interior lights and i changed the fuse and all ok
  12. the cambelt interval on mine on was originally due for change at 62000 miles or 10yrs,in the handbook,which is what i have kept to,as phil had flsh up to 75k its prob been done once,and wont need doing until its done 125/130k,i know they seem to have adjusted the interval has times gone on ,but originally it was 62k
  13. i use mine as everyday car,im retired my lady works takes her fiesta to work,so i use mine all the time,most days

  17. i don't appear to have that engine icon,can't remember seeing it,i will have a look in morning
  18. hi,sidelight replacement relatively easy front or back,may have to take a few bits off im sure the seats have to have someone sat on them,sometimes they do take a while to get going dhp is matter of taste,its only bigger wheels stiffer suspension,some people like the original better for comfort/road noise don't think they fitted with runflats at the factory pretty common to see surface rust on the ring on top shocker it usually rubs off,i saw it often when i was looking,dont know about bulkhead rust,thou if it surface should be ok they not known to rust,the thing is with these cars whilst alot are owned by enthusiasts,some are bought as a cheap runabout cos they reliable,and soon as a big bill comes up they scrap them,in the real world they not worth much more than £1500,its easy to spend that on it if suspension worm don,t know about badges,would'nt of thought too difficult cc i don't know prob not used much i think the management light is the square one with red circle,if they all go out after starting,everthing ok
  19. does it go thro the gears manually if you start in ist,when you get to 4 you have to push the lever to the left to get the overdrive if you start in park and put it in d it does it automatically,but does'nt in the manual,im sure you know this,but if you try the above you can check the gears,prob computer won't let you go into 2nd but if you use the manual you may not be pushing lever across in drive
  20. funnily enough the stylistics cd was left in a car i bought once,cd has 18 tracks ,its was hanging around in car for ages,when i played it,i knew all the songs,memories flood back,the country music bit of a secret quilty pleasure driving at night on my own ,any music you like,is great in a lexus
  21. after reading all this im a bit embarrased to say the 6 cd i have on at the mo matt munro eric clapton compilation of country music older artists stylistics harry chapion elvis
  22. it may of had cambelt replaced at lexus dealership,as per previous thread on here
  23. can't go wrong at that money i sounds a genuine car and seller,long mot etc,you will be pleased i would think,i bought an old k reg first for that sort of cash and it was great,needed a few things doing but it got me hooked they are lovely old cars
