surely if you have replaced everything it must be the other part or the caliper that is worn

suggest you take off the carrier have it drilled out and have copper bushes fitted to interferance fit

thanks colin

just interested thats all

hi

anyone own a GX470 which seems to be a Lexus badged Landcruiser?

no they never break down!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :flowers:

hi

check its not a siezed caliper

this is fairly common and will cause fast pad wear and also a humming noise due to permanent contact

les

most mechanics remove the headlight and have access to all bulbs

hi

am looking at measuring the size and shape of the front foglamps to se if they will fit into the rear bumper reflector recess-perhaps with a little fettling

if so will obtain a pair of lamps from a breaker and make you all jealous

i will also hopefully have an unique rx that has effective reversing lights

please dont tell me that the bulbs are illegal i know this and will fit a rheostat to control the brightness in differing conditions

,

if you see a cloud of smoke over my home you will know it hasnt worked and those earlier contributors who have night vision eyes and profess not to need reversing lights will be able to say-TOLD YOU SO!!!!!

hi

im back

the trouble with graphs is that they are obsolete when any component part changes

ie LPG 69p

the point of LPG is not what it costs but how you feel when you have it

1 nice to put £60 LPG rather than£85 unleaded-good feeling

2 average installation cost is £200 per cylinder-other costs just fatten the bill

3 payback costs-why no allowance for vehicle depreciation in calculations-based on the theory that you would not get your money back-why buy a LEXUS or any vehicle in the first place

4 loss of power-unless you drive on the redline you will not notice any loss of performance

to recap -its agood feeling to have lpg as you notice no difference in vehicle operation except the fuel costs

hope i hgave not upset the diehards but surely the only pleasure these days is enjoying driving your car!

I've heard some horror stories about prof gas

have had 4 cars done by then

no probs

is that sarcasm or are you requesting information??

hi

1 lpg conversion does not cost £2000

2 mpg is not worsened

3 pays for itself in 10K

hi

have had a gas con on my rx300 (all my cars have had this surgery) and also found that the boot was full of wheel when the car camr back

went to my local tyre/wheel co and they advised me that the wheel dimension(hub) was 5x114.3x17or18

visited a couple of breakers and picked up a brand new spacesaver for £20

i was told that normally they go in the crusher as no one wants them

dont know what it came off but i think it was an american product

plenty af web sites around advising what models that dimension fits

message for steve2006

hi steve will take wheel(spacesaver) if still available
