I run 35 psi on the front and 33 psi on the rear.

This was after a visit to Dr Bones.

:D :D :D

What is CORGI? Is it something like acting?

It is a licence to make lots of wonga.

:D :D :D

I totally concur with all of the comments.

In a world full of selfish people who are only out for themselves Tony stands out as a selfless man whose dedication and knowledge has helped many members of LOC.

He is a sheepskin among dufflecoats.

Top man Tony.

:D :D :D

Subject: Engine Stalls - Idle Air Control dirty

Models: Engines: Option:

Vectra-B 1996...2001,Omega-B 1996,5...2003,Astra-F 1996...1999,Astra-G 1998...2000 X18XE| X20XEV,X20XEV,X18XE| X20XEV,X20XEV X18XE,X20XEV

Complaint: Poor idling, Engine stalls.

Cause: Sticky idle air control valve caused by oil vapor.

Production: None.

Remedy:

In case of customer complaint check the bore for crankcase ventilation in the

throttle housing, clean it if necessary and replace the idle air control valve.

At the Omega-B replace the connection piece for pre-heating if the bore for

crankcase ventilation is blocked.

Sounds like the engine idle/speed control valve, well known to go on vauxhall's  mate  :duh:  along with lots of other electrical bit round the engine  :duh: i know ive had one  :o

Fingers crossed.

Congratulations Sandeep.

All the best to you both on the birth. May all you problems be little ones.

Have a great birthday fella.

:D :D

Mines going in next Saturday for its 1st MOT.

Why are they so nerve wracking

I would have thought with only 3 weeks remaining that they would have contacted you by now ?

←

I phoned them today and they are sending me a form to fill in.

Apparently they are having problems with their rewnewal system.

My car will be 3 years old in about 3 weeks time and the Lexus assistance cover will end.

Has anyone renewed this cover and if so how did you do it?

:D :D

End of an era Mr Shipley.

You have been here for the 3 years that I have been around, I hope we will not be losing you from LOC.

Good luck in finding your next car.

:D :D

Any pictures taken by any of you guys.

:winky:

Steve Settle is correct.

Linky

:D :D

Have a great birthday.

:D :D

Ok thanks.

:D :D

OK thanks.

So has your other front wheel have the L at the top also?

:D :D

Will that not be putting them upside down?

←

So are you saying L at the top on both sides then.

Do you have any piccies of yours.

:D :D

Which way up have you fitted the front Lexus caliper stickers?

The same way up on both sides. (So the L is at the top or bottom on both sides)

or

So they can be read from the same direction. ( From the front of the car or the rear) so the L will be at the top on one side and at the bottom on the other.

Also

Has anyone fitted the stickers curved to follow the shape of the caliper, if so pictures please and how did you do it?

:D  :D

←

The "L" stickers go on only one way round, they are not double sided. Pete Jenkin does the curved type sticker that follows the shape of the caliper, they look vey good.

←

Mike

They can go on more than one way round. With the L at the top on both sides of the car or the L at the top on one side and at the bottom on the other side. They do not need to be double sided to do this.

If that makes sense.

:D :D

Great pictures and a very clean car.

:D :D

Have a great birthday.

Done.

I have finally found the time to paint my calipers (well the front ones anyway I will do the rears another day) I decided to paint them black to go with the car. I have some Lexus decals to go on which I will do when the paint has fully cured. How easy are they to put on?

Also replaced the front pads with Mintex pads (courtesy of Prolex) while I was at it, just need to bed them in now.

:D :D
