    Very pleasant dealing with these guys again. Bought my car from them a year ago and it's just come back from it's annual service. £214 for service and MOT. Had a CT200h courtesy car (£2500 excess or pay £15 to reduce it to nothing, wonder how many don't pay the £15). No issues with the car at all apart from the front tyres will need changing sometime later in the year. Was impressed with the CT, very nice drive and handles well too.

    GS450h, RX400h, Passat CC, Grand Cherokee, Jag S-Type or XF, or a 7 Series BMW? I like your thinking with the Skoda and Saab, plenty of other Volvos too.

    I think mine smells more without the air con on.....gives off a kind of damp smell. Not sure if it's like cat *****, more rat ***** if anything......makes me wonder if Big Rat has been sabotaging the non-silver ones.

    Currently it is on recirculating the air in the car, but I've tried all settings & various temperatures and it still has the same issue. This time of year it is ok unless it's 1st thing in the morning. Can stick to having air con on its lowest fan setting year round, just wondered if any other owners experienced the same. I remember all the vauxhalls I've had in the past were a pain for steaming up too.

    Does anyone else have to have the IS-F air con on pretty much all the time to stop the windows misting up? Doesn't really happen in this nicer weather but over the last 6 months I've had to use the air con on low non-stop, can't be doing the mpg much good.

    .......hot pink?

    Apart from a silver one at Santa Pod last summer, and a grey one at a used car dealers car park earlier this year, the only others I've seen were the other Saturday at our West Midlands meet. Didn't see a single one in the 8 years they had been released before I went to view mine in May.

    Clio V6! Me like. If I was to have a car just for the weekend it would be one of those, some sort of Lotus, an Impreza P1, or a Monaro. The Clios have shot up to well over £20k now, as have the P1's....wasn't that many years ago both could be had for under £10k
  9. Tom24
    Any particular year, colour combo etc you are looking for? Shouldn't be that long before the RCF hits £30k....I may be tempted then but for the lack of 4 doors.
  10. Tom24
    I was looking at a Europa for sale the other day....1 or 2 decent ones crop up for under £20k.
  11. Tom24
    +1 on what Stuno said.
  12. Tom24
    All booked in at Lexus Coventry...rang around the Midlands dealers and they offered the best price of £199 including MOT if I supply my own oil. The bloke I spoke to recommended the Shell stuff as that's what they use.
  13. Tom24
    What engine oil is everyone using? Just browsing the internet now and for around £50 I can get 10 litres of the following 5W 30 fully synthetic; Gulf Formula FS Motul 8100 Eco-Nergy Shell Helix HX7 AF Fuchs Titan GT1 Pro Flex XTL Mobil Super 3000 X1 FE, Miller Oils Nanodrive EE Longlife Eco & Castro Magnatec Stop-Start are £60-65.....Mobil 1 ESP is £75.

    They also do Lexus Essential Care from £155....website has the following description. If your car is over five years old, Lexus Essential Care offers a reduced cost alternative to Lexus full servicing and maintains the safety and roadworthiness of your vehicle. Competitively priced, your car will always be fitted with Lexus genuine parts by expertly trained technicians
  15. Tom24
    According to the Lexus website the servicing prices are as follows; 20k £445 40k £495 60k £745 80k £495 100k £595 with a £275 intermediate at 10, 30, 50, 70, 90k etc
  16. Tom24
    That's just the service interval mileage that they quote on the paperwork. They list the sevices on mileage instead of time assuming you cover 10k a year, but mine had covered about half that.
  17. Tom24
    Spark plugs were done last year alongside air filter, as far as I can see air filter is done every other year.

    Gonna book my ISF in for its service next month but not sure as to which it needs. Its currently on 50k miles and is a 2008 model. From the service history the last few are as follows; 2013: 50k service £177+vat and £93+vat parts/consumables. 2014: 40k service £258+vat and £194+vat parts/consumables. 2015: 50k service £128+vat and £118+vat parts/consumables. 2016: 60k service £479+vat and £267+vat parts/consumables. Also, any decent deals on engine oil at the moment?
  19. Tom24
    60k mile service on my ISF last year was £479. Then parts prices were £105 for 8 spark plugs, £88 for 9 litres of oil, £224 for front discs, £311 for front pads....none of this is inclusive of vat.

    Mine could do with the front bumper and bonnet respraying also....they do seem to mark easily.
  21. Tom24
    I had a matte grey Giuietta and I don't think I'd buy another matte paint car.....shows up marks too easily and if it gets scratched or dented its not a simple to repair. I would just get a respray in the original colour
  22. Tom24
    I've heard the grey/black ones are faster too.
  23. Tom24
    Big Rat i would of thought you would of purposefully aimed for 2nd place......that silver medal would go nicely with your shiny silver IS-F.
  24. Tom24
    The silver ones are taking over by the looks of it.
  25. Tom24
    I've had the beeping a few times but not the seatbelt tensioning until now.....caught me by suprise, and still not sure why it happened unless the car coming the opposite way somehow triggered it. Nice to know it's there if I need it though.
