Hi all. Er no not everybody name is John Just a idea i assume you have not got broken springs or collapsed ones and does the car bounce when the corner is pushed down. This is just a idea that came to me nothing more also you have not overloaded the car and knackered the rear suspension have you. Just coming up with ideas do not mean to be nasty or critical just trying to be helpful 65mike

Ebay Exhaust

Hi all. Sorry to here this Jami. In all honesty when i looked at the bay picture it did not look quite wright to me not level and you have now had this confirmed which in one way good but in another way a pain in the back side. I think the seller should either replace with one that is correct or refund your money as it is not wright 65mike. -

Hi all. Not keen on the ones on the red is like the ones on the isf but with our pot holed roads need more rubber like a tractor tyre to keep from damaging wheels and tyres. 65mike, -

Hi all. Don't mean to be criticalJami and please don't take any offence but the picture from the bay seller looks to me like it is not level especially the right hand one same as yours if the picture on his listing reflects the one on your car it may be the reason it is like it is . Iam not being critical but just mention as i see it. I think other forum members have looked into a genuine Lexus one but was very expensive and one member if i remember had a st/st fitted. 65mike -

Hi all. Linas take it from me i speak the truth here when i purchased my x-type new i had 17inch wheels from factory and upgraded to 18inch as parts from Jaguar genuine Jaguar wheels the car had not even done no more than 11 miles so had never been on the road so wanted the option ones for the car and insurance charged me extra i asked why and there answer was because they were not standard on the car when built. 65mike -

Hi all. No think how easier the other ones are to clean not so many spokes to get clean and believe me lots off spokes are a pain. 65mike -

Hi all. Just a note too you not teaching grandmother to suck eggs but you should tell the insurance about them i did on the x-type and they stung me for extra premium so beware as they will use any excuse not to pay out saying that i did put sport exhaust on the x-type and it sounded lovely cost a arm and a leg but worth it. 65mike -
Original Tyres Mileage - Replace for MOT?
65mike replied to Casa1862's topic in Lexus IS 300h / IS 250 / IS 200t Club
Hi all. I would myself get the car serviced mot and see what the dealer says about tyres the dealer's seem to want to be very keen on tyre prices even mentioned a cheaper brand when i enquired about tyres before i purchased my is250. Will probably get from dealer when i need new ones providing they are true to there word. 65mike. -

Hi all. The LC 500 looks a beautiful car and by what i have seen on the net well put together as you would expect from a Lexus and is a pure GT car. I would myself not buy one as i have had my midlife crisis now being over fifty and my last car was a Jaguar XK, GT car also but to much trouble getting in and out as my back is not up to it now beautiful as both are the XK got all the remarks like lovely car which sadly i do not see the LC getting the same attention have moved to something more easy and comfortable my beautiful is250 Here is the XK.

Hi all. Mine has Bridgestone potenza and something else that Bridgestone make cannot remember name i appreciate that you do not want to spend a fortune on the tyres but bearing in mind you pay for what you get and it is only a small patch off rubber that stops the car in the wet. You say you have 4mm off tread left so you don't really need new tyres just yet the law says 1.6mm minimum i would myself get a bit more out off them you may get another 1000miles before they get to 1.6mm before they need replacing,just my opinion. 65mike

Hi all. Craig cracking looking motor there. Looking forward to more pictures and enjoy the car. 65mike -
Hi all. I would myself consider getting the car from a Lexus dealer i know they are dearer but you would get the warranty providing it is under 10years old. I purchased my is250 from a dealer it is a 2009 car and i purchased a 2 year extra warranty so i have 3 years warranty it was a no brainer for me as my previous Jaguar was brought second hand from a dealer and had 6 months warrant which was not worth the paper it was written on and the car turned out to be a money pit so got rid and brought the Lexus instead and not regretted it 65mike
