not sure what size you need, but RS claim theirs are rubber, from bosch, see attachment.

on appearance, why is the 'bog standard' LOC a gold colour, and the GOLD version, a blue colour?

in an effort to get things right, advice has a 'C'!

yer tis! remote_key_repairs.doc

do you mean the steering wheel is about 50% wood, with the rest being leather? if so, there's a LS car for sale on american ebay showing interior pictures with this wheel fitted, poss with an airbag - it may help (at least you'd have a picture to show someone!)

my son sent me one at 3 seconds to midnight, orange to orange, and it delivered 5 seconds after midnight, which amazed me, so i replied within a minute, and it took just over two hours to deliver! can i have the researcher fee?

no wonder car insurance is going up - somebodies got to pay!

a silver medal success! now, if they all went for GOLD!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i used to do that, then i had the heart attack, (and the bypass (more clogged than the M25)) so now it's a smear of berio olive spread, and low saturated-fat cheese!

Steve, thanks for that - with all the links, etc, i could have been there til domesday! back to the wet string and bean cans i think!

XP brings it up as a security warning if a site tries to establish a cooky - why would MS bother if it couldn't be of use to anyone? and as for who's doing it, bloody everybody as far as i can see, and why would they bother if it wasn't for their benefit? and just wait til the new ofweb dept issues electronic fines to anyone who visits a site with too much pink or tan expanse in the jpegs! (that one's a joke, at least until 2006 - we all thought CCTV speed fines would never get past parliament, and look where that's going with all the latest camera fines for motoring slips.) and if that's not a conspiracy then i don't know what is! and who, or what, is the 'rip bill'?

Sorry, can't help at all, but welcome to the club! once the others awake from their afternoon snooze, you'll get some more input!

what about this dubious theory that COOKIES don't snoop and aren't harmful?

if there's nothing better in the larder, then on thick toast, covered in cheese and grilled, with sun-dried tomato paste, a few sliced olives, some anchovy, pizza herbs, ground black pepper, the usual stuff!

First, welcome to the club - i too have found it useful. Second, glad you gave the mileage in kilometres, otherwise at over 1.5 million miles we could have put it down to old age! Third, a couple of guesses: a poor earth, possibly between engine block and chassis, or a low output from the alternator - somewhere in the club i've read detailed instructions for checking this, but a reasonable volt meter should give you about 14.4 volts at the battery terminals with the engine running about 1000 rpm, and about 12.6V 5 mins after you turn the engine off. if you're not getting 14V or so when running, is the drive belt loose or oily? if it's not these, maybe someone else has a view?

and why has LISP got an 'S' in it?

why is ABBREVIATED such a long word?

if you're travelling in a bus which is doing 35mph and you jump up in the air, you don't hurtle backwards down the bus at 35mph, so i guess the fly maintains its position in the bus.

why is there only one word for THESAURUS?

if memory serves me correctly, two extra months were inserted, i think june and july, or poss july and august, which pushed the later ones back by two.

the light wouldn't leave the fitting, and as radar is slower than light, you'd hit the first unlit object that got in your way, and the answer wouldn't matter to you any more! not sure where the heat would go tho.

when the bloke discovered that some people muddled up their letters when they read something, he called them DYSLEXICS. why?

mines an LS400 but i got a new bosch 90AH battery in MDC for £65 this week.

5mph, while i drove it onto the recovery truck after buying it in november - not been driven since as it's still in the garage! what was the name of that new member who's in the job?

it'll still be there when the snow clears!
