  1. You wouldn't believe how much he charged me for such a top job
  2. Al credit goes to B.J's Car Trimmers in East Hanningfield near Chemlsford. Excellent job. and first class customer service
  3. Remote starters are illegal in the UK, Your not allowed to leave a vehicle with it's engine running unattended, I was informed this by a local policeman after he opened the car door and removed my keys as I walked back to my car. There not illegal. Plod just told you that to scare you. He probably didn't want to have to do the paperwork for your car when it was stolen, due to you leaving the keys in the ignition and the engine running. wrong, check with your local Police, they always make a big of it during the winter when people leave the engines running the assist clearing ice and interior warm up etc.

  5. You didn't mention what colour you were looking for Have a look at these Black http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...egory=9886&rd=1 Beige http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?Vie...egory=9886&rd=1
  6. To get the max benifit from any AC system it should used on a regular basis. AC is not just for HOT WEATHER, you should also use your AC system in the winter when defrosting windscreen and side windows. Because your using dry air. Please don't take this the wrong way, you are using the correct settings.
  7. A rule of thumb is the AC system should be evacuated and re-filled every 3 yrs, When you switch on AC switch setting striaght to Re-circ, should blow cold within 5 to 10 secs at idle,
  8. Meguiars Gold Glass. vehicle details below
  9. This is the funnest thing I've read in ages, Note to Mr Ball :iraqi-info-minister: :iraqi-info-minister: If you want to know how to operate an AC system properly then drop me line. I suggest you give up your day job and become a JOKER. since when have we had mosquito in the UK and in Manchester of all places
  10. Thanks for the contact, shame there closed for holidays, I will ring on Monday morning when they re-open
  11. Burn hole in the escanie section, do you any tailor/repair shops. Thanks
  12. People, I need help in locating a rear seat base either complete assembly or just the cover, I damaged mine last night, only the Escaine part of the material, Lexus will supply the full seat cover and not just the escaine section, if any body knows where I can locate this part from either a salvage yard erc I would be very grateful Interior colour is Oakam, Material is Leather/Escaine. Many thanks in advance.
  13. Does anybody either know where I can find or can supply with the full 12 digit part number for the following parts for the Lexus Armrest. Armrest Leather in Oakham or Tan Hinge Cover Console box Round Bolt Cover Round Bolt Cover Magnet Hole Cover Harware bolts x2 Thanks
  14. Depends on the component, most car manufactures (not hand built) work with tolerances 0.5 to 1mm if you compare that to the building industry, anything from 25mm to 300mm depending on how good he or she is with a tape measure.
  15. Why buy a car with 16 cylinders and it only uses 4 of them, Very old technology, cutting out cylinders, althought the way the presenter, presented the car you would have thought Cadillac were the first to think of it. Top Gear, Top Rubbish as usual
  16. They can only use the 'After Market' Get out jail free card, if Lexus first sell the Car, i.e to Lexus GB (this would mean the car would have one registered owner) then the changes could be made, not sure what would happen at the first MOT though. This is not good practise that said. Lexus wouldn't be the first to do it. I think this one will run and run.
  17. Not sure how Lexus UK are going to get away with this, as the Jap's are usally pretty hot on all the vehicle reg's Could this be a possible re-call for all IS300's fitted with HID's and Styling kit front bumper. or do Lexus have a little man that comes out of the headlights at the touch of a button to clean the headlights :D :D :D :D
  18. Are they, Looking at all of the IS300 approved used cars. The photo's are not that great, none of them look like they have a head light washers fitted, could be wrong. As they may have some other method of cleaning the headlights. I will double check when I get to work tomorrow.
  19. Spot on. Any car fitted HID head lamps must have headlight washer system. This is required by law. Should be confirmed by the European Whole Vehicle Type Approval Directive............
  20. Looks nearly as nice as mine, :P Have you got the side skirts fitted yet?? I can't tell cos of the shadow
  21. The climate reading isn't all that accurate when the car has been parked for while cos of radiant heat from the road etc, once your moving they are pretty accurate to maybe +-1 or 2 deg's. For info mine read 27 Deg C when I keyed on tonight leaving work, once moving reading dropped to 25 Deg C
  22. erm..... no.... Most limos are specially built in the factory using an extended version of the orginal chassis... O no there not, next time you get the chance look underneath one, BTW I've repaired several over years, The are all modified by 'Coach Builders'
  23. Rather than ranting about all the Y's and where 4's, I suggest you talk to your insurance company as they were the one's who sold him the car, how else do you think he turned up on your door step, he has all the registration doc's for the car. I used know a couple guys who brought insurance write off's. To look at them, they looked like they didn't have a pot to :tsktsk: in and they certainly were not the nicest people in world, walk in there workshop and it was like walking in other world, all the lastest equipment all brought and paid for and every job prefessionally done. Remeber never judge a person by there appearance are the way speak. One other thing, All the Limos you see on road, they are all 'Cut and Shut', they all start out life as base car, then cut in half and all the bits added and then joined back together. Just because of few bad apples and there are some real :tsktsk:ing scum bags out there don't judge them all the same, he could just be guy trying to make a honest living, cos there is no law against repairing Write-Off's
