  1. Please do update us in say a month ………. either way ! Thanks Malc
  2. Remembering that RAC cover can often utilise the Spacesaver wheels which the RAC van holds ( if he has any left on board ) which you go to the tyre garage with and they hold that Spacesaver for return/ collection by the RAC itself Assuming the RAC guy has any remaining on board at that time It’s not just a puncture it’s a pothole tyre write-off these days one has to be wary of I don’t know if the Lexus Breakdown you hold covers all this ! Good luck Malc
  3. New build homes ? Apartment blocks too ……. one charging point for each flat then ? Malc
  4. EVs will, my thoughts tell me, go the way of the diesel in terms of UK acceptability with Govt changing the goalposts on pricing for punters to keep them on the road Just reading today the demise of the USA Hertz boss following his failure in getting it wrong financially buying fleets of EVs that have settled unacceptable enormous costs of running, maintaining and depreciating their stock on the Hertz business Back to conventional cars for them ……. and maybe us probably ……. who knows eh ! 🤔 Malc
  5. Amayama has I understand several source bases to export to UK …….. and one might be fortunate to get what one needs somewhat cheaper than RockAuto , LPD or Lexus/Toyota here in the UK when you have the need then just explore those online opportunities ….. incl carriage too of course Ive done very well from Amayama in past times with suspension stuff and have probably saved many many £00’s possibly a thousand or more …… replacement product might well last the car’s lifetime with you 😄 UK Govt Import Customs and VAT issues might change from time to time whatever …… Malc
  6. Celebratory at 100k miles …….. I’ll just make sure I’m still around to use them each, every other day, coz I just KNOW that’s what keeps them in fine fettle ……. oh, and a bottle of Aldi Prosecco too on the day …… maybe a month hence 😄 Malc am I a cheapskate 🤩
  7. very very fiddly gently, very slightly topping up to the Cold Marker Level on the PAS reservoir on my 91 Ls400 ..... it seemed only very slightly low when peering into the reservoir ... BUT it's removed the faint occasional " catching " noise at the steering ........ no signs of any leaks anywhere, maybe just evaporation syndrome over the time since last checked, whenever that might have been ! Now on 99500 miles ... wot a delight she is to drive .... as of course is my 95 Ls400 on nigh 250k miles now 😇 Malc
  8. Just get the best and longest warranty battery that’s available …… not a Varta tho’ ! Malc
  9. Road Tax possibly about £725 this year upcoming ! very steep BUT in the great scheme of owning and running cars it's ok ..... the Ls400s are I believe about £325 and my 1932 Triumph is a big fat ZERO ...... it's only money and you can't take it with you whatever ... and she indoors much much prefers the Legend to the Ls400 Malc
  10. Lest we forget that newer car headlamp bulb brightness is far far whiter brighter than the new bulb yellowish brightness of more elderly cars …… and they’re all MOT ok I’m sure night driving I’m quite ok with the eyes easily adjusting to the old fashioned yellowish headlamps ok It’s the like dazzling Main Beam of the new white headlamps that’s to my mind unnecessarily penetrating and I think possibly quite dangerous, MOT approved or not ! Malc
  11. Our 2006 Honda Legend 3.5ltr gets used most days too. ….. her car of course ……. Being regularly and frequently used is the key to longevity and less trouble methinks 👌 Too many nice cars to use is a problem with not enough driving days in the week maybe 🤔 Malc
  12. Andrew hi. What on earth is your other car that you’re prepared to relegate your wondrous Ls400 to the purgatory of gremlins …….. when every alternate day use of the Ls400 might keep her in permanent reliable fine fettle ! Malc
