I bought it sight unseen. Worst case; if it was a lemon - breaking it for parts would more than cover the cost. So couldn't really lose. I had a budget put aside for remedial things. It may be a Lexus - but it isn't immortal. :) If I'm gong to use a car - I like things to be put right. The replacement driver's mirror was about £60 from a scrappy. Also - the car is too good to be consigned to be broken up.

Timspons said they would do me a new key and relocate the electronics. Couldn't do it on Sunday as their key cutter was on holiday.

That's my thinking too. Hence my question. I have seen Japanese HID lamps work on both UK/ EU without realignment. But I would like wiser minds than mine to assist.

I used a dremel type tool. I think it is FUBAR. :D

Hello. :) I'm the guy who bought the "Shed of the week" on PH. To danbobnix. My mechanic is about to relieve my wallet of some of my hard earned green. So far: ===== Brake line pipes to the rear corroded. Had to be all fully replaced on safety grounds. Water pump and timing belt replaced. (It is due ) Full service. Replace front wheel bearing. (totally shot) Wheels balanced to eliminate steering wobble. Drivers side mirror replaced. ( A £4.99 Ebay mirror was placed onto of the real one- which was totally knackered. Lexus quoted me £237 just for the mirror! ) Still to do. ======== 2nd Key is an Ebay cheapo. Hasn't been cut - and no-one will cut it. Remote plips work though. Being sorted tomorrow. Rear bumper to be fixed. Being done by the end of the month Rear body panel to be "undented" and painted. As above. Small rust patch on roof - just above windscreen. Sand back and make good. Replace passenger headlamp. Tried the polish the toothpaste to remove oxidisation trick. Didn't work. Looks crap. Need a replacement. Cigarette lighter not working - will check at the weekend 2 bulbs are out on the passenger and driver aircon temperature display

Need a replacement pair. I have the headlamps with Xenons. Dumb question. Are the US spec ones the same as the UK ones? Thanks in advance T
