This may sound crazy ,but get her indoors hair dryer, med heat on the sensor dry out, then remove check gasket on or replace, worked on my other car Merc.

Third year on the trot, MOT passed no advisories, it's like Christmas in November every year😊 Oh! why oh why did I wait so long to get a Lexus? ,the last two MOT's with my merc £1000 per year😥

Good morning everyone,

Don't know if it's known, but after doing an online review, for Euro car parts. 

A free valeting kit arrived today as a thank you.

So not only great service, delivery drivers and prices, gifts as well.   🤗

Forgot to upload pic sorry chaps and chapeses 

Thanks guys mine just delivered free of charge 17.50 the pair, result. ECP flash sale 👍

No fruit of any kind😁 smooth as a babies well you get the idea. Will post pic when and if it stops raining. 

Sorry ,both dent pulled handle badly scratched, panels down to metal and primer,then painted lacquered. When I can work out how to add photos I will. 

Apologies if the wrong area mods. 

Just wanted to let the guys know Liquid Finnish mobile paint repairs in the south west,did a great job pulling a dent repaired and matched Sable metallic perfectly. 

Similar to your photo in "there goes the exhaust"  but mine has no flange at all on the back of the box,completely flat, and  mine has a large balancing weight on it as well.   the fluted part of the middle pipe is also flat and very rusted.

Afternoon guys ,

Rear box knocked off not able to refit ,quoted £290 for cat back system oem is that good or expensive?  just curious.

Sorry GingerWhinger late to the party as always!  ,have you changed your phone recently ? if so you'll need to reset the Bluetooth system, check the device your connected to isn't Bluetooth2 as some newer devices aren't recognized.  Failing that check the obd port and check for error codes with a scanner if you have one ,  other than that its a trip to the dealer.

mines 09 model and I had troubles with connecting a Galaxy S9 after a S7egde ,ended up purging the system and start again all now sweet as a nut.

hope its some help!

Can you share the price?

My problem is that from my experience neither Hankook, nor Falker, nor Avon (nor any other brands considered mid-range) are selling for what I consider "mid-range" prices e.g. you can get "Premium" tyres from Dunlop, Goodyear, Continetal in the range of £70-100, so "mid-range" then should be sort of £40-70, but I haven't seen them selling for such prices. Finally, even if you can get mid-range tyre for say £62-65, then it is no-brainer not to get more premium tyre for say ~£72. So basically many "premium" tyres are now have mixed into high-mid range niche and there are no longer distinction. We now kind of have low-end "no-names" selling at £40-£60, from where "mid-range" have merged into "premium" £60-100 and finally only very few true "high-end" tires (mostly Michelin and Pirelli) still selling well in excess of £100.

In short I am struggling to understand the point of getting "mid-range", because they are no cheaper then (loosely applied) "premium".

Of course sorry brain fade 63.00 for 225 45 17   fronts only, mid range,  top range .it's all a matter of choice.  I've driven Goodyear Avon Pirelli Michelin.  On amg Merc, m5 bmw. I've found over the last 45years it boils down to wear stopping ability and road holding each has a weakness , each car suits a tyre find one you trust and afford stick with it.

Thanks @madasahatter

Falken were my first choice about a month ago, good tyres with good ratings. I was looking for about £250-300 for all four.

Theres another brand Rotalla with very good reviews, good ratings and low price.

Hi ,  late in the day ,but just changed from Hankook f1's to  Falken Azenis FK510 ,better braking ,road holding, quiet ,  great tyres now its just the longevity, but for a mid range price tyre so far so good!

Halfords  ,Crossland air filters for 250 petrol  ,£10.10p cheapest i've found, else where £22 plus change. hope it helps

Thanks for replies guys, been in hospital couldn't reply  earlier.

Hi everyone

Just curious, according to Lexus paint code my car is Sable yet on the V5 it states the colour as Silver! well to my eye and others its not silver nothing like it. Has anyone else got a different colour registered on the V5. Yes I am a pedantic old curmudgeon  

Hi Steve,

I've been reading a thread that a lot of owners are experiencing dash squeaks and rattles after having this recall sorted, mentioning having to return to the dealers who are packing the dash with foam to correct the noise.  Any probs for you?

Shame I live the other end of the country , they sound a decent bunch.

Yes to the weather thing , when in the UK I live on Dartmoor , and belive you me it gets extreme up there!

And when I grab the door handle and open the car door out they pop, the mirrors that is.

I never had a problem with the ice and frost affecting the mirrors on my Mercedes, Are these more fragile?
