Adam Evans

That EXACT scenario happened to me by a person in a BMW in Germany on the autobahn

I was overtaking a line of lorries at approx 95mph and a BMW came racing up behind me 2 inches off my bumper and flashed me out of the way

Now normally I would move but his behaviour matched with my right foot meant I dropped a few gears resulting in him being a small dot in my mirror.

I was too scared to look down whilst accelerating but when I started slowing down I took a glimpse at the speedo at 140mph

Anyway that is the fastest I have ever driven in a car and I didn't like it

I will just stick to 70mph in the inside lane with the cruise control on in future and watch the world go by !!!!

I actually like Brian from confusedDOTcom

He saved me £500 so if you feel like running him over then unfortunately I am not with you on that one.

This is the FIRST time in 6 years that a comparison site has been able to beat my renewal price

When I said "put them in their place" I meant because he was acting like a door handle (a round one) and revving his car up at the lights

This is the only time I feel that someone needs to have their windows blown in by a canal barge.

I do not entertain street racing, just a quick blip and then carry on at the speed limit with the cruise control on.

Also undertaking is not illegal and such offence doesn't exist as the law is "keep left where possible"

IMO if you are undertaken then you were in the wrong as you were not "keeping left"

But that is just my opinion and I do not wish to open a can of worms by stating this.

Stumbled across this on t'internet

I wonder if the LS400 uses the same protocols as the Soarer hey

Just a thought !!!

I can see a custom touch screen coming soon !!!!

Adam, you must be one of the youngest LS owners out there. Respect. :)

Thanks matey

I do get a few funny looks but to be honest its so comfy I don't think I would go back to a small car again !!!

Do I need to say anymore !!!

Again ............ same story, someone tries to get past me and tries his luck at blowing my windows in

There is just no need for it, I just put him back in his place and then resumed to more sensible driving !!!

Bloody Audi drivers hey

So there has been a Mercedes and an Audi ..................... all that is left from the c**k list is BMW

I'm so sure that it says in the owners handbook for Audi "Congratulations on buying this car, you may now drive like a prick"

I wasn't even in the mood for racing

But when someone is clearly trying their luck I just put them back in their place

Obviously I'm not stupid enough to go up against a Nissan GTR or an Audi RS6

Now that would be silly

So, why do these cars, and drivers, need "putting in their place"? What's the (your) problem with someone overtaking you?

When someone sits there at the light reving their car to the redline and looking at me I think they need putting in their place

Apart from that I am happy to tootle along in the inside lane at 65mph

Twin turbo charged hey .....................................

Has anyone ever had a MK4 turbo charged ???

If so how much work was involved

I wasn't even in the mood for racing

But when someone is clearly trying their luck I just put them back in their place

Obviously I'm not stupid enough to go up against a Nissan GTR or an Audi RS6

Now that would be silly

It was originally £285.00 but loaded to £575.00 for taking on Audi and Mercedes attempting to race you :)

Nope I managed to get it down from £1250 !!!!!

There is just no need for it whatsoever

Totally childish !!!!!

Honestly though a LS400 has ONE engine and at standard it is 284bhp

If anyone has put another engine in it then it will clearly be faster.

It is not a Vauxhaul corsa with a v6 under the bonnet (a sleeper) it says EL-ES FOURHUNDRED on the back so I don't see why people would want to be embarrassed and get their own ***** handed to them (in young talk !!!) as it it blatantly obvious that this will happen

I am 24 years old

6 years no claims

No speeding tickets in the last 5 years

No claims in the last 5 years

Admiral were offering a ten month policy and they would give me a full year no claims too !!!

So for 10 months £575

Not bad hey

Spoke to Brian at Confused.com !!!!!

I am after the correct part number for the front camber arm bushes for 97-00 LS400

I have found the part number on Toyodiy to be 48674-50052 but when I have submitted this to Amayama they seem to think it has been superseded to 48674-40051

48674-40051 is actually off a Toyota Century but the suspension setup looks identical

Can anyone tell me if the 48674-40051 will fit as I will buy these as they are cheaper and easier to get too !!

Little tip:

When you undo the centre nut in the steering wheel put it back on 2 turns so that when you pull the steering wheel and it comes loose it wont hit you in the face !!!

I need a set of these too so if anyone can get them cheap I will be interested in a group buy

Just found out that this is down to a small nylon block/bush. I am going to get a handful machined soon

you will like this if you are talking about british leyland !!!

ATS did mine and it blows out the vents at MINUS 2C

YES you read that right !!!

And mine is a 1998 LS400 with 260000 miles on the clock and mine is still working too.

How I would do it would be to cut the live wire and solder in a long length of wire that I could neatly hide behind all of the covers, I would hide a stealth switch inside the centre cubby out of the way so that I could enable the power or disable it whenever I want.

So the power would get to it when I am putting it back together so I can move the wheel around to put the cowling back on and then I would flick the switch to disable it once I am happy with the position of the steering wheel

Couldn't you just set it to where you want and then cut the live to the motors ????

What year and how much are you looking at spending ?

I need help!. I was seriously considering looking at a Rover 75 tourer with the BMW diesel engine. Probably a very good car - but not a Lexus.

Yes you need help............................. psychological help if you were going to choose a rover over a Lex-eye

Who do you think you are ???? Alan "Ccok-Psis" Partridge !!!!! :P

(all in good humour !!!)

Using a code reader WILL NOT trigger an error as they only read and clear and do not adjust any settings. so someone has been telling you porkies 39buss

As for the LPG service you said that he changed the plugs too and also altered the fuel trims <<<<<<<<<<< there is your problem

Plugs may be the wrong ones as well.

Just out of curiosity what plugs are now installed ??
