dont want to worry you about the dvla, but a girl at work has just done the same thing swaped her plate to a new car it took 3 weeks for it to get sorted.

with a little luck according to lexus gb the cabriolet will be out next year

is 220d and im 35 also got an escort xr3i cabriolet dont no what that says about me?

i never knew just metioned that i already had cover in my lex and he said your alredy covered on your second car the same level as the lex,also said you can have a second person on as well.

just bought a ford escort xr3i cabriolet for weekend use, i have always wanted one from being a teenager lol. rang the rac to get cover and was told that my lexus cover incluced a second vehicle at the same level of cover as the lexus, well happy saved me a good few quid

i have just had all my bridgestones changed after 18,000 miles, front ones were due to tracking out but rears had even wear but down to 1.6mm

look forward to finding out if they manage to find the problem on yours, hope its nothing to worry about, nothing happened to mine and its been going on at least six months

mine lasts for at least 6 seconds the technician at lexus hadnt a clue what it was, started around 6/7 months ago but not caused any problems but never noticed it for the first six months

yes same here, i park mine in the garage so it sounds really loud in a confined space.

lexus sheffield have a black one in, they have been given 5 and all are sold, got to say it looks fantastic

i have the same thing, appears to be coming from the engine bay?mentioned it to my lexus garage at last service but couldnt find a fault,

he must be out for the day

i had the same problem with the seat, had a new seat fitted around 4 months ago and problem sorted

when stuck in traffic it averaged 40 mpg not bad when compared to my 220d

Wait. There must be some mistake. How can an autobahn-inspired performance machine beat one of the most fuel-efficient cars ever made? It looks like that is exactly what happened on a 545-mile London-Geneva run, when a diesel-powered BMW 5-series posted better MPG stats than a petrol-based Toyota Prius hybrid. The BMW 520d with a 2.0-liter diesel engine and regenerative braking posted an impressive 41.9 mpg - about 0.9 mpg better than a full hybrid Prius. The difference may not seem huge. But given that the Prius weighs about 500 lb less, BMW's fuel economy lead was significant enough to raise new questions about which drivetrain technologies are more environmentally viable and should become the future mainstream of sustainable transport. According to Technoride, the 5-series' triumph over Prius can be attributed to "a series of energy-saving features BMW calls EfficientDynamics: battery recharge when braking, good aerodynamics, low rolling resistance, a continuous fuel consumption gauge on the dashboard, and a six-speed manual transmission that is rated as improving fuel economy by about 10%."

Harrydavy with the point about your pcp i was inder the impression that future values were always set lower than the actual future value so that you had a deposit towards a new one? this encourages you to have another car from them and so that you have something towards a deposit and dont walk away.

spoke to them yesterday and was told it will be out later in the year and aiming at company car users because of low c02 emmisions

went into my dealers yesterday to get a price for 4 new tyres after only doing 17,000 miles, and was told that they are bringing out a new deisel engine in the 220d later this year, he said it has lower emmisions and better economy? has anybody else heard anything

hi, i have my car serviced at sheffield, on my old is 200 the discs were replaced under warranty, my new is220d had its 10,000 service 5 months ago at the time i was told the discs were starting to lip and that they would be changed at the 20,000 service under warranty so dont let them charge you for them

the squeek doesnt come from the mounting points its actually from inside i was told the only fix is a new seat which i had

with regards to JAMBO'S earlier comment about the seat problem, i have recently had my drivers seat replaced i took around 3 visits to the dealer forthem to try to fix the squeek and they finally admitted that this isnt the first time this problem has been reported, i have had the new seat around 4 weeks and the same problem has started on the new one, i cant be bothered taking it back

i have a 220D what a mistake i made, i would never have another one, next time its the petrol auto, just have to put up with mine for a couple more years

the bit about the air wrench is probably correct the only people to ever have the wheels off are lexus, the car isnt a year old yet so the nuts arent rusty

no i didnt turn it the wrong way i had undone the four other ones first and then tried the locking one it didnt need much force either, it was the first time it had ben used as well

got a puncture last night and managed to snap the locking nut in half when try to get the wheel off, the rac did a temp repair luckily the cars in the garage today for some accident repair, lexus say they have never seen it happen before,
