  1. thanks m8 thats wat i was thinking about the caliper refurb issue wont last for a diy job unless i'm a proper mechanics :hocus-pokus: might be thinking getting one from the ebay selling £90 and cashback £30 minus another £10 for postal ... if not sort out the rear drum first and fix the caliper later (on my next paycheck) not forgetting next month gas bill :tsktsk: :tsktsk: :tsktsk:
  2. was riding back home one night and had a strong bang on a pod hole :tsktsk: think the rear drum start to play a little (making noise) might be the clip snap and the front caliper is sticking kinda bad. might as well fix it all together saw this item 300351440392 on ebay and the clip included but when i visit one of the parts store the fella say those clips are not included and they don't sell it. just got me wondering to changed the whole caliper (cheapest around £100 each recondition parts) or had it refurb item 310589138855
  3. Hi guys, Any thought or advised on using a Remanufactured brake caliper? was at the parts store a while ago looking for the hand brake pads but they don't come with the pins n springs set... was looking on fleabay and alot of remanufactured caliper fronts and rear..... so was having second thought seek advised here before start buying stuff or paying silly money as i'm no mechanics thanks

  21. Don't risk it or tempted by the bodykits etc... 10 owner its a turn off for me unless i've a car mechanics to have the car proper checked :nuke: look around before any final decision :zee: good luck
  22. i did remove the spare wheel and use k&n air filter ,snow mode ,as well avoid supermarket fuel plus add in fuel injector cleaner every top-up fuel for couple months to see it make any different. comparing with or without the spare wheel there's pro n cons as i get alot of wheel spin when pulling off coner on up hill as there's no weight behind the rear. to make safer on the road i've put on back the spare wheel to road gripping issue. as for fuel... the car just run really smooth and still have to judge the way steping on the gas pedal. Does the tyre play any role on to increase fuel economy ?? p.s just bought road tax cost £270 for 12 months :msn-cry: I'm with you on the Car tax front, did that on Saturday . . . Hankook clam that over a 650 distance, their new tyre can save up to 6 litres of fuel. No, this is completely dependent upon the way you drive the car, the 'hillyness' of the area you drive through and what sort of roads you use regularly. But if you can get away with driving your Lexus slowly, without W%$kers tooting their horn at you and do your uttermost to change gear around 2000 rpm, then you should be okay to get 500 - 550 miles out of a full tank, also, don't fill the car to the brim with petrol, keep the car light and visit the petrol station more regularly. Stuart spot on, always top up half tank unless going for a long journey
