  1. https://news.sky.com/story/mounted-police-gallop-after-driver-using-phone-at-the-wheel-12836021 Try this. Well spotted David. It's comical.
  2. OMG I can't believe I've just seen this. I'm in shock. John was a cracking bloke. He'll be missed by all of us. R.I.P my friend. It was a pleasure exchanging posts with you.
  3. Well said Eric. That Barnard bloke. I'd love to fire a bullet though his head. What a self centred pillock. Watched a Scotty Kilmer video earlier about a bee em M3 6 potter. He actually loves that car. Anyway he said some ruddy good stuff. EV'S are Not the answer. He likes the idea of Hydrogen and what an Australian university is doing with salt water to make hydrogen. He even mentioned Methane.
  4. Ebay links have been posted a helluva lot of times Ahmed so no need to worry. Goodonya Shahpor 👍
  5. Hi Lee. Do Not use WD40 on the MAF sensor. Use a dedicated spray. As for the throttle butterfly valve. Unplug the multiplug first before you touch the butterfly. Otherwise it'll screw up what the ECU sees and really make the car run rough. Use a dedicated spray for the butterfly. Let the MAF dry in air. Do Not touch the thin wires. Oh don't forget to plug it back when it's dry and you've put it back in its housing. I forgot and my car ran like pooh. Once you've cleaned the items and you start the car there's a chance the revs are high. They were on mine. I did a post on Throttle body Re Learn. I'm krap at finding posts but look it up. It'll save headaches.
  6. It depends on how old your car is. Has it got a full dealer service history. My car is 16 years old. I'm the 2nd owner. It was bought with a full dealer service history so I've kept it going. On a service plan. MOT included and a free loan car. Beats any independent in my book.
  7. Not sure if this thread suits what I'm about to say but hey it's my thread and I'm knackered but with all this utter rollox about ULEZ clean air zone rollox but what the hell are those poor folk in London who use the busses to get around only to find 15 or so routes have been axed !!!! What are they meant to do? Get an EV? I don't cocoa. Get on a bicycle? Doubt it. Use a car? Probably. Oh and get stung for that so called clean air tax. It's a tax on the poor and who ever devised this tax needs horse drawn and quartered. The evil bar steward.
  8. Yes John perhaps the CO2 that would come out of the cars still be the same as of fossil fuel cars But the point is they'd be true CO2 neutral which can't be a bad thing I feel. Maybe even the CO2 out of the cars running the efuel might be less than fossil fuel cars then ruddy hell its a win win for petrol heads like me 😁
  9. Good to know Porsche are working on a substitute for fossil fuel 👍
  10. From what I saw on a TV programme yes Malc. I was rather surprised.
  11. Thanks for posting about the front bonnet struts Neil. Before and after photos would have been helpful.
  12. Why was it ruddy scary driving at night on country roads wearing polarised glasses Pete? I'm surprised. The only downside of polarised glasses is viewing the instrument panel on the car it looks almost distorted.
  13. Leave those cows alone lol. They are neutral where CO2 is concerned as they live on the best absorber/convertor of CO2 and that's grass. Grass is much better than trees.
  14. Oh dear. I watched this video and was rather shocked about the manufacture of solar panels and where the parts within come from. Don't mean to pee on your parade Shahpor.
  15. It's actually an offence to use either front or rear 'fog' lights when it's not foggy. As for rainy conditions geeeeez those pea brains who turn on their rears causing a dazzling effect and distorting somewhat the vision of the driver following. Front 'fogs' because they're so low don't 'offend' unless some burk puts more powerful bulbs in. Overall its a pet hate of mine also Bogdan. So rear 'fogs' go off when Mercedes cars go above 30 mph eh Peter? Personally I find that stupid and irresponsible. I've driven in fog numerous times and on the motorway faster than 30 mph as have 90% of other vehicles.
  16. Hi Tom. Welcome to the best Lexus forum there is. It would have been better to introduce yourself with your own thread. More of us would see you.
  17. To answer your question personally I'd go for Fully Comprehensive. As to which company all I can suggest is get a quote from your current insurance company then try the comparison sites and companies that do not quote on comparison sites. Yes it's laborious but it has to be done.
  18. this is one way to repair your seat. Another option is to find a 2nd hand seat. There are a few dedicated Lexus breakers and I suggest you look them up and see what they have.
  19. Steven I've just re read your thread. You mentioned adjusting the handbrake towards the front of the car. Using a clock face where is the adjuster? 12 o'clock 3 o'clock 6 o'clock or 9 o'clock? Reason I ask is a few weeks ago I serviced my rear calipers and took off the rubber spyhole grommet but could not for the life of me see the adjuster. Reason I wanted to adjust was because I'm having an issue with the handbrake warning light flickering on and off and sometimes staying on. Yes possibly a dodgy sensor or a wire I know but since I stopped using the handbrake no warning light issue. So it's a culmination of adjusting at the rear wheel and at the foot pedal.
  20. Yes Malc we get fruit n veg from south America aswell so you didn't imagine the label you saw.
