  1. 10 mm Max without getting longer studs. If you do need to get longer studs then they are easy to replace there is a hole at the back of the drum where they can be knocked through without taking the full unit off. If you do put spacers on whatever size then get the HUB-CENTRIC type.They centre your wheels a lot better so you shouldn't have any balance problems. They are usually available on ebay. Terry
  2. As ihjp says I'ts a 3Ltr V6 auto, pulling a couple of tons around, it was never built for economy. The yanks love 'em 'cos of the cheap fuel over there. You don't really buy petrol V6 motors thinking they are going to be frugal! You know that you and your local petrol station guy are going to be swapping Christmas cards
  3. Do a search but a lot of Freelanders have headgasket problems and that isn't a cheap fix.
  4. Aido it really is good and it's only a couple of quid. Will last you forever. You will be going around flashing your shiny tailpipe to everybody!
  5. Do NOT use a brillo pad!!!!!! All you will do is scratch the tailpipe. Get hold of some Duraglit it is like cotton wool soaked in an oil. Use marigolds when putting it on otherwise you get your fingernails black. Just take a small peice out of the tin and rub it vigorously on the tailpipe or any other S/Steel or chrome thing you need to clean.Then just polish with a clean dry cloth for top results. You will be amazed at the outcome. The other product from any Halfrauds is Autosol it comes in a cream in a tube like toothpaste that is good to but duraglit is the best in my opinion most supermarkets should stock it.
  6. Totally agree with Parthiban F1s are really good tyres and I have had the Dunlops and Continentals
  7. 1 Lexus do not do lowering springs for the RX. I had to order mine from SPAX 30mm difference and in my opinion the handling is a lot better. 2 No 3 You can get them from Ebay. Don't know which are the best the IS200 boys on here will give you the best recommendation for those. Keep saying that I will change mine but with this new job I don't seem to have the time 4 Yes I changed mine for clears. Only a couple of quid from Lexus main dealer. Easy DIY just a pain getting your hand up behind the inner wheel arch skin. Don't know thw the PT No. but if you speak to Colin he will sort you out. If you want any bits for the RX then telephone Lexus Stockport ask for parts and ask for Colin. Tell him you are an LOC member and he will give you a discount. I know him pretty well so you can mention me if you like. Terry
  8. The RAV4 or whatever she does get is a 3 year lease deal. So the SC and the RX are not an option :shutit:
  9. Hi Gord, I am working in Salford now so hardly pass your way. I really don't want to get rid of the RX but it just seems pointless if we get the RAV4. So I may just hang on untill July but I could lose out on the Merc! Next time I'm passing I will stop and you can stick the kettle on! Hmmmmmmm Got me thinking about the SC430 NOW!!!! Only problem I see with that is if I get the SC my Mrs. will have her ar$e in it all the time and I will end up with the Rav4
  10. The wife is getting a brand new Toyota Rav4 in July . So there will be no need to have two 4 X 4 s on the driveway. I have had 5 years loyal service from her. Problem is I do not know what to go for. Really got used to the RX high driving position luxury etc. So going back to a car/ saloon!!! I have already owned an LS400 So my thoughts are turning to the GS range although a mate of mine is getting ready to sell his Mercedes CLK 320 cabriolet and it is a car I really like. It is on an 02 plate. Any thoughts would be appreciated.
  11. But your asking in the Mk1 forum....try the Mk2 forum I reckon your'll get an instant reply....maybe! There isn't a MK.2 forum only one RX forum for all RX models. I can't help with tyre pressure for 18s 'cos I've got 20s on.
  12. Clear wax them and shine them up Do NOT put abrasive polishes on them
  13. You will not get a disc that works. The system is not compatable in Europe. You will have to change the full system which would be too costly. Better off with a portable system. Or I can give you a contact of an LOC member in the South of England who can advise on retro fitting a new system to work in conjunction with the OEM one. Linky His name is Luke, mention me if you contact him. Terry

    Welcome to LOC. Enjoy the forums.
  15. Your personal photo does show up on your profile. (pic of car) If you mean the pic on your posts then that is your avatar pic.
  16. The link works olay now. Yes they will fit. Nice rims
  17. For some reason it will not let me use the link? What is the Ebay item No.
  18. Load of sad wannabee coppers. Probably got a pen and pad handy at all times taking down numbers!!!! Should be done for careless driving! Some of them on there have hundreds of posts. Must drive around all day looking for " Offenders"
  19. Cambelt replacement is 100K Just make sure that youhave FSH on the car other than that they are pretty much bulletproof. Most Lexus alloys are prone to corrosion not just the RX model but there are always plenty on Ebay. Never had the dash rattle so cannot comment. Good luck with your purchase I am sure that you will enjoy the RX Terry
  20. So, if you change company when your insurance comes up for renewal, make sure you make a point of telling your old insurer, preferably in writing and keep a copy of the letter and a note of who you speak to at your old insurer & when you did it. That is your quote from your post. so that is what you should have done. It works both ways. Say you forgot to "renew" your insurance on the exact date it was due and you had an accident and you were not insured. Your argument would be "I thiught it was renewed automatically". If you know that you are going to cancel your insurance because of a new insurer then cancel your direct debit.
  21. Guy does a replica AUDI R8 from a Ford Cougar.... Audi Link
