It does mate - Thank you :)

If your buying the car new, it's worth getting prices from places like JamJar and Virgin Cars, and go to a car supermarket web-site for prices too. Print these off, and take them with you to the dealer, take his best price, and take it to another dealer (same company), and give them all the numbers...

Of course this depends on the car / dealer / timing...

I've always been told to shop in the last week of a month, because dealers are trying to get their numbers up then.

And a final trick (buying new), shop a month before a reg is released... if you don't mind not having the lastest plate, you'd be surprised how much a dealer will knock off.

Just my 2 cents.

Nice one - Thanks mate :)

Tony out of curiosity why did you go for the 6100 over the 6610?

I can see the 6610 is a tad heavier and has a radio but that's about it.

I presume the 6100is the later model?

Thanks, Rick.

Those prices aren't that good. I got my IS200 SE auto for way less than the prices they are quoting. It's just a case of haggling!

Hmmm...interesting. Still I guess it's a starting point.

Any tips

Lets not forget

Matt the link's still there in your quote

I tell you one I do remember though ...... the one when Ross had a posh do and everyone was going - and at the end Rachael came out in her green dress........and exclaimed that she was going commando.

Ahh....the green dress. She looked stunning in it. :P

Better????

Yeah baby!! :P :P :P :P

To be honest, I think it's more the fact that it's Jennifer Anniston ( :heart: ) rather than the gold bikini thing.

Think I'd prefer JA without the bikini :P

Come on......you must have seen that episode of Friends where Rachael (the lurrrrrvvvvlllllyyyyy Jennifer Anniston :heart: :heart: ) dresses up as Princess Leah in the gold bikini?

don't worry Tony - I'm with you (err..Princess Leah) on this one

Sounds like it may not be closing properly. Is it fitting flush looking at it from the outside?

I've never noticed any wind noise coming from the roof.

My better half's looking to buy a new RAV4. I've got what I think to be a reasonable price from a dealer - but then I came across THESE PEOPLE.

Has anyone got any words of wisdom for me. It all reads ok, but then it would as they're selling something.

I do NOT want an import.

Alternatively would anyone like to recommend a sales bod in Toyota that's going to give me a mega deal?

Thanks...

there is a polish that Auto glym do that is also good fr the wet look, you put it on over the normal polish, id be dammed if i cannot remember what its called

Think is may be their "Extra Gloss Protection", it has a gold coloured bit on the bottle as opposed to the red for the super resin polish

Hi amolkarnik, I have a pair of front metal scuff plates. If you're interested send me a PM. :D

I thought that a moustache was an extension of nasal hair

And I couldn't work out how coloured people could be born coloured as they hadn't laid in the sun yet :P :iraqi-info-minister:

Also, is anyone selling the chrome scuff plates from the sport, or again, any advice where to get these at discount price?

Hi Ian,

I have a pair of chrome scuff plates for the front.

Perhaps PM me if you're still interested.

Brett, no problems in the slightest.

Fitting's a piece of cake, no soldering. just plug and play.

The bulbs are a direct replacement, the ballast boxes have double sided pads to stick near to the lamps. Then it's just a matter of a couple of connections onto the Battery

I was spending a fortune on various bulbs (PIAA extremes etc - which are by far the best halogen substitute) then decided I wanted HID.

Be aware these are for off road use only so you'll fail an MOT. In saying that it would only take a matter of minutes to replace the halogens temporarily.

Go for it mate. You won't regret it B) B) B)

Rick.

Hi meduus and welcome to the club. :D

Try THIS COMPANY for HID conversion.

Takes about an hour for both lamps.

Enjoy B) B)

i thought fuel injected cars didn't have or need a choke  

Fuel injected cars have a "cold start". It does the same as the choke on a carburettor, ie. temporarily richens the mixture when cold. :P

"I wish I had Rob's Kit"

Didn't know there was a "kit" as such.

How do I buy one of them?

Well Today I got my Scuff Plates from Lexus * £188.73 with Gold Discount :)

Paid £173 for mine with GOLD discount. B) B)

which is high beam and low beam?

High beam = 9006

Low beam = 9005

Tony, I had the detachable one fitted from new. Think it was around the £300 mark.

Non-detachable are around £200 I think.

Couldn't swear by it but it's a guide for you.

Cheers,

Rick.

What's the part# for those?  

Just ordered mine, picking up tomorrow. B) :D

Part number: PZ439-C0180-00

Don't forget to ask for GOLD discount!

I'm about to renew and want to be very careful that the insurance company has all the details. I asked about "factory fitted parts". Spoilers, sports grill etc, they said as long as I've owned it from new and they were factory fitted thats fine.

However it varies with each company so give them as much info as you can.

- You CAN have the phone kit both mute the stereo, AND use the car's speakers

- This works on ALL IS models, including those with the amp (anything but the early S types) and satnav

- Despite my best efforts, I've only found one dealer nationally who knows how to do this

They don't offer gold discount (yet!) but the lovely Liz at Security World is very helpful. If you contact them, tell them you're from LOC, and we'll get some discount yet!

I too have spoken to Security World and agree they appear to be the only company able to offer this feature.

A couple of things that put me off (slightly) was that the volume of the call was still controlled by the phone (a necessity due to feedback) and not the stereo and it is only wired through ONE of the car speakers. So all you are really gaining is a slightly better speaker (and the mute of course).
