Well its Thursday and my Lexus is still at Sheffield said they are still awaiting the caliper to arrive what an experience this as been i bet i could have got one overnight wish i had now talk about "Amazing in Motion"

I think john you may be right in the past ive changed these items but was a little concerned of the car in case anything went wrong but i may buy the next from somewhere and l will get my local garage to do them as with the caliper i thought it would have to be bled with the techstream gizmo but thanks for repling Robert

Took the 450 in fo its service yesterday and to have the fuel pump insulator fitted(mine is a little noisy and one of the guys on here fitted one in a couple of minutes) i have the warranty but it had run out by four days but told them i need to renew it they said no problem . I received a phone call later saying the rear caliper is seized and will cost 195 for a new one we cant do it under warranty as it as just run out then went onto say your front pads need changing 145 then they said we cant fit the insulator yet as we need to take the fuel pipes of to fit it and we need fuel washers that we have to order to say i am p*** off is a understatement is this the price of calipers and brake pads wow what a rip off i am going to tell them to put the old caliper in boot and see how badly it is seized sorry for the rant Robert .

thank you to you all i will abort it it was just an idea i had Robert

Hi Ben or anyone else with Electric Knowledge Would it be possible to cut the wires to the sidelight plugs and connect to an ignition source so that sidelights come on, on ign then splice in the two cut sidelight wires to a couple of boot type lights that use festoon type bulbs as they would only be on when I was running on Headlights/sidelights and could double as a light source under bonnet it may not fool the (bulb out monitoring) but im sure i could use a couple of W5W bulbs that are in the sidelights It may be completely impossible as i am not a sparky but in my head its seams feasible Thanks for taking time to read and comment I am extremely obliged Robert

Thanks all for taking time to reply

Would it be possible to utilize the main beam to run at low power to act as DLRs in the day as they do in the states i am not electric proficient so would have to be a auto electrician and wondered if the wiring would be in place and maybe just needed a relay fitted somewhere I seem to remember a 86 Scorpio i had used to operate similarly if you set off with just sidelights on the headlights came on at reduced power it may not be possible i know but i have always liked the idea of DLRs Thanks IA Robert

sounds like you have a dud battery if you have followed instructions Ni do not start engine just press button no foot on brake

just get a shaving mirror put it in footwell and you will see it straight away

well described martin

it will if they have clipped the sensor there is a procedure to fit the tyres but if a sensor as gone its a dealer job but more than likely as pressure problem inflate them to your preffered pressure i run 36 all round the set your calibration then all should be well

looks very nice i have had mine 2.5 yrs now and it as not put a foot wrong as Lee says every now and then give the brakes a good couple of stabs to clean them up the rears hardly come on with the regen Im sure lightning wont strike twicejust enjoy the car Mpg you will get mid to upper 30s in summer time even in winter i get 33 constantly Robert

I too need a headlight bulb was thinking of some Osram night breakers at 54 each but they look difficult to change, are they ? Robert

its on the lighting stalk on steering wheel 1 turn turns on front fogs a further turn turns on the hi intemsity rear lights on the boot lid

thanks for that Krzysztof i might keep eye on it and maybe get oil changed at my local toyota garage Thanks again Robert

I too get this problem sometimes when i go to pick up the wife from hairdressers sometimes there is a late mercedes there and if it is when i get back to the car i cant open it with remote i obviously dont park near her after that but as she goes to same hairdressers as wife i asked her about it if she gets trouble she said" We have had a peimeter gizmo fitted so no one can capture signal from remote" so that must be it

A few times of late if i am doing around 50 /65 and i accelerate there seems to be a bit of a lag as though the car is not sure what gear to be in i know that cant be right because its a CVT but thats how it feels it is like Turbo lag on turbo cars it doesnt do it all the time just now and then It had the plugs changed at last service September last at Sheffield before i go and enquire as anyone had similar experience of this I am obliged for your replies . I have had car over 2 yrs without any issues and also took out extended warranty which incidently runs out this September and i will be renewing the car as done 55k or there abouts TIA Robert

yes same here they drive like loonys the 4 by 4 guys are the worse they are trying to prove something i am sure to justyfy their purchase

Scott would suspect that the TPWS in the tyre as the battery as expired needs dealer to find out which one Robert

Do these Stainless steel retain the silence like the OEM as quite a few years ago i had a stainless steel fitted on to a SCORPIO and i sounded like a tractor never ever bothered with them after that

many thanks john Robert

thanks for that john one question which way does it move to lift lights and is it a lot of movement to achieve it Thanks Robert

i am trying to find out how to adjust mine i have not found the adjusters tho but one thing i know the car should be running and the lights on as the beams will be down thats what ive been told

Hi all GS450H Ive noticed my lights are not very bright at night but have put it down to me having a catteract forming on my left eye so i dont do much night driving. As i was going to a family xmas time do at my daughters my son who is a bus driver he said you can have a drink dad i wil drive car home as i am on in morning and will be on pop. As she lives at Hull its the M62/m18 to get home my son remarked that the lights were absolute crap. Is there a replacement for OEM ie NightBreakers and are the easy to change TIA Robert

its a dealer option
