Not even a moonroof or ACC as well 🙄

It only takes one person to buy it and they’ve made a killing!

Model Year.

In that case ( no previous history ) you may get offered a speed school session instead of the points ( the fee is equal to the fine but no points) and I guarantee you will learn something you never knew about road craft if you choose ( highly recommended ) to opt for it.

Good move that man👍 I was just going by your profile specs!

Water pump change should be ‘bread & butter’ job for any garage calling itself a ‘workshop’!! It is also not an impossible job to do ‘at home’ with a basic toolkit. see here and assess if it is within your skill set and equipment ability.

Dohhh. That vid I posted was for a 250 and you have a 220 so I don’t think it’s gonna help much! 🙄

Wow..looks like you took the whole bottle! ( “took a couple of Brave Pills”)😂 Not wishing any sort of bad Karma but…..Back in the ‘90’s my friend had a Vauxhall Carlton Lotus….you know the beast that was mentioned in the House of Commons because the Police forces could not catch it ( not even in a Helicopter!) and wanted it banned! So he went to Derby to take a Maserati out for an extended test drive ( whole weekend ) leaving his Lotus at the dealers, in the course of that weekend it broke down and recovery was called out 3 times! ( starter motor, ignition switch and hand brake failures) let’s just say he was glad to get back in his Vauxhall and I have my fingers crossed for you that all goes well. Not sure what year your car is but hopefully things have improved in the reliability dept. But I reckon Its gonna be a million miles from the ISF Note: I just noticed it’s a 2007 so now a ‘teenager’ so hopefully not a ‘Moody’ one.😂

Unless you go to work everyday in a quarry then any decent brand name ( from a reputable seller!) will be fine in your 13 year old car ( over priced genuine not essential/cost effective any more) and will be a breath of fresh air ( see what I did there!) for your current filter I guess. 👍 note: if you do have a genuine one in there then you can ‘refresh’ it carefully with an air line by back blasting it. This shows cabin filter cleaning but same rules apply,

Check this video,

Interesting video ( I thought so anyway 😀) whereby car had a fault occur straight after fixing something totally unconnected and this threw the fault finding process right out the window and previous garage gave up!

So….do you know exactly which components in the fueling system were not compatible with E10 and subsequently changed ( to newer compatible parts I guess!) to allow you to now use E10 grade fuel.

No more than the Scrotes who go nicking them with a cloning device 🙄

+1 on above! oil at normal operating temp will run at well above 100’C so yes, could be coolant temp that is being monitored. But, and a big BUT is OP mentioned a temp of 120’ !!!! If it was coolant system being watched ( note coolant and Not water) it will go above 100’C quite easily ( in a pressurised system) but 120’C is not what you want to see😳

GMG, £4k about a year ago for a SE-L with 45k miles….you must have worn a mask! Like Richard ( won’t let me put his real name here!!!) Turpin 😂😂😂😂

I know what you are saying!! It is sure not like the (let’s say ‘Debating’) chat area’s of other’s😂 You will get knowledge first hand and in a civil manner ( well I always have anyway😀)

Hmmmmm “Water pump is 60k miles service item” I’m not sure it is, would be nice but it’s not down as a ‘replace’ item in service schedule. Or mentioned at all!

Taking a 15 year old car to a main dealer for service or indeed work cannot be economical! Especially at Lexus rates🙄

Don’t forget it is capable of showing DVD’s, hence the multi-media, CD, DVD, and aux in.

Whatever caused the fusible link to fail ( if indeed it has) may cause major damage to expensive components if it happens again with the protection now removed ( shorted out with that beefy black cable in pic!) Hopefully it could be something as simple as a loose connection ( unlikely though ) in the main busbar area.

Wow, that’s a beauty! Does it sound like a Sherman Tank now? Soz can’t help with a supplier in your area, I’m in Bristol !👍

So called ‘Space Saver’ spare wheels are Also known as ‘Fuel Savers’ by manufactures trying to reduce vehicle weight and Up the mpg!. Imagine ( at todays prices! ) the cost of transporting a full size spare wheel & tyre for 100,000 miles ( that could possibly Never actually be used!) Let alone TWO!!! Ouch £££’s 😀😀😀

‘Silicone’ you say…..I have used this in the past on rear light clusters and unlike silicone it does not actually ‘set’ but stays flexible and soft to allow for any movement in parts and sticks to plastic & metal alike ( silicone tends to stick to one or the other depending on which type you use) https://www.screwfix.com/p/no-nonsense-roof-gutter-sealant-black-310ml/67521#product_additional_details_container

Is it just the foam gasket on the lights that had failed and slowing water in or some other reason for ingress?
