She is now seriously thinking Suzuki Ignis. (Now not keen on the Aygo)

Yes, that's exactly what my daughter wants it for.

Anyone know anything about the X-Shift gear box reliability? Apparently an automatic come manual with no clutch pedal.

Should read Newer Model not New Model.

Does anyone on here know anything good or bad about the Toyota Aygo Hatchback 1.0 VVT-i X-Play 5dr x-shift? One of my daughters needs to change from her 20 year old Honda Jazz to a new model car and wants something smaller than the Jazz.

I get about 24mpg local driving and about 34mpg long distance.

Just entered my reg number into the government website for clean zone areas and' No Charge' for my GS300 3.0L Petrol Late 2007 model. 🙂

To all you handy guys and gals out there. The nozzle on our hairdryer continually falls off. Can I stick it permanently with superglue or should I use a heat resistant glue? I found this on amazon Black HIGH Temperature Silicone Adhesive SEALANT 20ml Heat Resistant 300'C at £3.99 for 20ml. https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006C62M6Q/ref=ox_sc_act_title_5?smid=APVB5IVDJXT38&psc=1 Thanks

Malcolm, is the turning circle inferior to the previous series NX ?

Hi Herbs. Do you use Ribble View Garage for your RX450H? If so, do you also take it to Lexus once a year for the hybrid check re the 15 year warranty? Thanks.

I assume you've switched Bluetooth on on your phone?

UPDATE: I went to a local tyre specialist I've used before and they connected the car to their diagnostics equipment and found one sensor not responding. They reset the system, charged me the princely sum of £30 and all has been well for the last 10 days. So a result at a very reasonable price. I can recommend https://www.thetyrepeople.co.uk/ for anyone who is not too far away from Manchester Airport area. 😀

This looks like the same item under a different name. https://www.amazon.co.uk/Oeream-Compressor-Rechargeable-Motorcycle-Inflatables/dp/B09P8GY9R1/ref=sr_1_10?adgrpid=113331370554&gclid=Cj0KCQjwkruVBhCHARIsACVIiOzWv9wCAhPc0zmwOMUrFOigWIxDG_qhrEJPKBRFRBMdd83ekeMKm54aAjlUEALw_wcB&hvadid=469476893920&hvdev=c&hvlocphy=9046626&hvnetw=g&hvqmt=b&hvrand=5502544052893767985&hvtargid=kwd-998943577635&hydadcr=11365_1853804&keywords=skey%2Bcar%2Btyre%2Binflator&qid=1655643306&sr=8-10&th=1

Orignally metal but have had plastic ones on for a long time. I've thought about a digital tyre inflator and might need one one day, what make and model do you have?

Absolutely spot-on questions and considerations! The light and message "Check System" came on within a few days of having the new tyres fitted so I immediately checked the pressures. I regularly check all 4 tyre pressures with the old fashioned type of tyre pressure gauge and adjust by letting air out and checking again or pumping up with a foot pump and checking again. This is why I think there was some sort of disturbance to the sensors, or at least one of them when the new tyres were fitted, but as we agree, not surprising after 15 years. The tyres were fitted at Blackcircles whom I've used several times before with no problems but I do have another tyre company near by I've used before for punctures and new valve inners so I'll pop along there and see what they have to say. 1. Check if system requires resetting. 2. Check tyres located properly on rims. 3. Check damage on wheels (although wheels appear to be in pristine condition to me). 4. Check for a leaking valve(s). Thanks for your help 🙂

Hi Malc, I thought about disabling them but it might invalidate my insurance? If I were to be involved in an accident the car could be deemed to be 'not to manufacturers specification' ? Insurance companies always ask if the car has been modified in any way from the manufacturers standard specification for that specific model etc. The TPMS systems do of course add additional safety as they warn about slow punctures and under or over inflated tyres.

Thanks Len, but just had the tyres replaced and I'm thinking the possibility that the sensors or sensor batteries were disturbed during the procedure but I agree I have done well to get 15 years out of them.

You've probably already got them on your list John as I've been using them for many years and I think I told you about them previously but here you go. https://churchlanegarage.com

My TPMS warning light and message has been nagging me for about a week now, so I need to get it sorted. Car will 15 years old later this year (86K miles) so I presume it requires new sensors or new batteries in the sensors. I'm not into DIY on cars so I need someone to do it. What are the options guys, expected price etc. One solution for me might be to buy 4 new sensors from, say, Autodoc and get my indie to fit them. What do you think is best solution? Thanks.

Had my 4 wheel alignment done last week for £72 at my indie. Happy with that.

Interesting this should come up. I've just had my 4 new tyres fitted and need to arrange 4 wheel alignment. How long does it take approximately for a garage do this job?

Thanks everyone. I'll replace them now, just didn't want to spend the money if it wasn't necessary. BTW I am very keen on keeping the pressures where they should be with regular checks and at the same time keeping fit using my foot pump 🙂

I've been on holiday so now looking at the tyre situation again. Just thought I'd check this out with you guys before I spend money on new tyres. When I had my car serviced last month, my independent garage suggested new tyres would be required in, say, 3 months time as they are unevenly worn. More wear on the inside edge, probably due to the tracking being out. Suggestion was get new tyres then bring the car back and we'll put the tracking right. I've taken photos of the front tyres (can't do the rears with putting the car on a ramp). Please look at the photos and tell me what would you do, replace now or wait and for how long?

Like Herbs, I'd like details on those night time driving glasses, please.

Yes gathered it was each, no problem, I wasn't really expecting to get tyres a twenty something pounds each 🙂
