Just so people can compare, I bought a genuine Lexus replacement from main dealer, £280 for key £50 for programming to car, ouch £330 -
Can anyone recommend a really good air conditioner cleaner, I have used comma Aircc before and didn't find it very good, smell came back after a very short time.

Have a look here,, carid.com

I am looking to replace one or may be both of my headlights and have been looking for sometime, can't find anywhere yet, so good luck, if you do happen to find some could you post please

Thanks for all the input, ( peachy, did you steal my gag? ) I think some are misinterpreting my problem, the fogging is condensation, before I bought the car it must have had a minor bump at the nearside front as the wing has been resprayed, at the time it appeared the headlight was not affected but it must have a crack somewhere allowing a very small amount of water in causing condensation. agree with others about the price though.

Ouch

I am looking to replace my near side headlight (2008 is250) has anyone on here replaced headlights and where did you buy? have looked on the bay and have saw some used ones for about £200, don't really want to go down that route though just in case after fitting a used one i might end up with the same problem ( fogging) so would only want to fit a new one.

Noise reduction ,,,,plenty of noise reduction material fitted under the bonnet Heat retention,,,,, why would you retain heat? The radiator and thermostat will control the heat Air flow? Explain If there are any potential problems developing I will see them long before you with the covers on.
-
All my covers have been removed, nobody has given a valid reason as to why they should be there in the first place other than cosmetic purposes. On the plus side I can inspect the engine bay for anything untoward i.e. leaks and take appropriate action. leave them off, engine looks much "prettier" anyway.

Thanks for that Johnatg, and there's me thinking oil was just something you put in your engine to stop it seizing. i always say the subject of oil is the most discussed topic on every forum and there never seems to be a definitive answer
-
I have recently bought some cheap Castrol edge 5w 30 oil and the spec is acea3, I know the recommendation for the is250 is for acea A5 so my question is, would it be ok to use the acea3 oil?
-
That is an outrageous price for what it is, £187 for what is basically a piece of shaped plastic, at least ***** Turpin wore a mask.

Protecting calipers from corrosion
Gramera flash replied to gaborpinter's topic in Brakes & Suspension
4 new calipers, must have cost a Kings ransom -
you must be really in love with this car,,,,i would have given up long ago
-
I assume they think you will be using 95ron and not 99ron
-
They spend thousands on research and analysis so must be true otherwise they would be in a lot of trouble. what like VW
-
On the Redex site it does say that the first usage can be a double shot, that's 250ml
-
Not forgetting Lexus Bristol has the Lovely Lisa on reception.
-
Tesco selling 5w30 A5 Magnatec for £9.00 2 litre containers if anyone is interested
-
if it helps these are the Denso ones DUR 050R 20" and DU 055R 22"
-
Had Denso before but thought I would try Bosch as they were cheaper, maybe false economy then, just waiting for the two week period to elapse now then, lol
-
Just bought some Bosch ones from Europarts with their 30% off deal, they are very good

I've done a fair bit of reading up on this subject and its clear from what I've read that there are as many against the idea as there are in favour, so I suppose if you think its doing good then use it, personally I am not going to bother. Just my view, for what its worth. Also I might add my car has only done 22k, so my situation is probably quite different to most others.
-
Thanks for the input, after reading up on this subject its clear that its not clear, bit of a Marmite subject.

I'm wanting it to; A prolong the life of the engine. B give me better MPG C give me more umph D clean and keep clean certain components of the engine. Now if additives do any of these and more I'd be interested to hear from others more knowledgeable than myself, or would I be wasting my money.
