  1. I've just put one set of winters on one of the IS's. Could do with a set on the other one
  2. I use the gliptone leather cleaner and conditioner kit. Brilliant stuff. Whatever you do, don't use the Connolly hide care cream, .. ask me how I know
  3. I've just turned 40. My Pipe and slippers are firmly bedded in now
  4. I do like the look of those wheels. Suits the car. And the colour.
  5. Agree. Headlights are getting a lot more complicated they need to receive different inputs from different sensors nowadays like the rear height control sensor and acceleration sensor etc so it can adjust height / levelling. For adaptive headlights they need to read signals from the yaw sensor, steering angle sensor and speed sensors so they know how and when to turn. But, like you say. It can be a lot more difficult ( and more expensive ) to find the cause of the problems now when compared to the simple switch, relay and lamp.
  6. On the Lexus , The dipped / main beam is controlled by a signal from the headlamp ECU which requests a solenoid to activate a shutter / shade. The bixenon headlights on Land Rovers and range rovers sometimes have a similar issue where as the shutter sticks and needs freeing up. With your car it sounds like it could be a sticky shutter or faulty solenoid.
  7. I can change mine just by moving up and down on the steering wheel controls until it shows kph/mph then move left or right to select.
  8. Not to everyone's taste I know, but I am a fan of the RC in solar flare
  9. I've seen a white one a few times there. The one I've seen is an RCF with the number plate TH15 RCF.
  10. Ganzoom, I think you are right, ev / fuel cell / hydrogen is the future. But I need something that works now.
  11. The link posted above is still the latest available software version to date.
  12. Rich, It was done here http://apmcustoms.co.uk
  13. Picked up and the mrs is absolutely delighted with them. Dave, you are a superstar and your Jaaag is just stunning.
  14. Many cars with stop / start use the AGM battery which is able to discharge farther than flooded and also reacharge upto 5x faster.
  15. Yes, tints done. I took your advice and went for the dark smoke. Much better visibility at night time than the limo tints I have in the disco. All done for £160. They did some disassembling of the car to do it, rear parcel shelf came out and rear quarter light windows came out too. I'm glad I wasn't aware of this before tinting or I wouldn't have had them done. Anyway, no squeaks or rattles so all is good.
  16. And here's a photo of the first ever IS I bought 17 years ago. I spotted it still on the roads last year so had to take a quick pic. It used to turn heads back then and still looks good now.
