    I applied some Wurth Gummi Fit Rubber Care Stick to all the door seals yesterday and I reckon it's quietened the car down even more (not that it was noisy anyway). So thanks to the forum for highlighting this new-to-me product 👍

    Instead of block pavers have you looked at patterned/coloured concrete? We had it at our old house and it was great, no weeds grow thru it, nor do you have issues with block pavers sagging. It was cheaper than blocks too, a win, win.

    Welcome to the forum Vince. A similar story here as I recently sold my dependable Honda and jumped on the Lexus bandwagon. Glad to hear that your initial impressions are positive, I'm sure they'll continue. Get some pics of your new car online, we like pic's.

    Thanks, good to know that.

    Haha, maybe but Honda bits'n'bobs ain't cheap either. I guess other manufacturers follow suit.

    Looks interesting. I've used the Torque app a little before, how different is this app? I see ELM is a pay app to get all the features and would like a bit more info.

    It does look good [emoji106] A shame that the price of plastic these days is so shocking.
  8. Farqui
    Well done figuring that out [emoji106]

    True, the bonus is that a new rear section will be hassle free for a loooooong time. Lexus are cheeky, it doesn't look like the air filter was changed. I bet the service check is something like 'if deemed necessary'. Crumbs in my opinion an air filter should be annual, just like the oil filter.

    After clocking this thread I ordered some last night, thanks all

    Hi all

    Farqui replied to Miłosz's topic in New Members Area

    Welcome to the forum, your IS looks great and the wax seems to be working well

    The car has been up on the ramps and my trusted local mechanic gave it the once over with me. All of the shocks are bone dry with no signs of any leaks or misting ANYWHERE. So for now I'm going to ignore the Lexus recommendation LOL. The exhaust is definitely blowing at the rear Y, as you could clearly see from the earlier picture I posted. But we did spot the OSR box has an issue Pretty obvious huh. Neither Lexus nor the last MOT flagged it. It can't just have appeared in the last 3 weeks since I've owned it. I despair. The rear section clearly isn't an economical repair now so I bunged my indi some beer money for using him ramps. Looks like I'll be getting a new rear section made up in the not to distant future.

    Good luck, fingers crossed they fix her up without any issues.

    The IS-F gets another airing over on SpeedHunters; http://www.speedhunters.com/2017/02/project-fujispeed-rays-volk-racing-wheels/

    Welcome to the forum. Good to hear that the IS treated you well. Glad the GS is better than you anticipated, do you have any pic's of the new steed?
  18. Farqui
    You'd be lucky to that thru UK SVA! - or whatever it's called these days. *SVA = single vehicle approval, to ensure it's safe and not going to chop up pedestrians/passengers/the driver.

    Just got a quote from Tony Banks (Leeds) for a new custom rear exhaust £329 incl'g fitting + VAT. Which doesn't look too bad when compared to £160 for Lexus to patch up the leaky Y. If we patch a leak now then how long will it be before another rears it head? After a few searches it looks like several folks are running TB's exhausts, with positive feedback. Will see what my local mechanic thinks tomorrow after we've inspected the pipe work.

    No, I'm still clocking up the miles to allow Lexus to check the Hybrid system and I'll know more about the dampers after it's up on the ramps tomorrow. The cargo net wasn't expensive, it popped up on eBay one night. Mine is already loaded with junk LOL.
  21. Farqui
    All front and rear damper tops are dry with no signs of oil leaks. A boot cargo net arrived today but it seems to be missing the upper clips Update: ah it seems that the 08 may not have had the upper clips by the opening, instead they are further forward (which I have). I suppose it keeps the boot opening free of bits'n'bobs. Credit; http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-3rd-gen-2006-2011/380295-cargo-net-in-already-small-trunk-opening.html#post3850070

    Check the label/spec as John pointed out. Dunlop Sportmaxx2's are one of the quietest rated boots I've seen. They're also fair all rounders. Eagle F1 Assym2's were good but the latest 3rd version don't seem as popular. Tyres are like Marmite tho and I'm interested to hear what other GS owners prefer.
  23. Farqui
    Cripes you don't hang about! A pal had one of those big yank 4x4's and the Merc engine was a peach. Hope you enjoy it.
  24. Farqui
    Sounds like a practical solution John, looking forward to seeing pic's
  25. Farqui
    Thanks John. Having some idea of the order and places for clips is often a big help. Found a pic Credit; http://www.clublexus.com/forums/gs-3rd-gen-2006-2011/833861-gs-450h-hybrid-battery.html#post9634977 Interesting that a later post says the GS250 rear exhaust fits the GS450H without any apparent issues.
