  1. Got mine at Argos, it's still round at a friend's at the mo though! If it's in the house I'll get no work done! Wiikeyed console - I mean wicked console
  2. That's not a chip as such, it's a resistor array, with just one resistor in the array being used. Does the same job as a 4.7K resistor costing a few pence. I have yet to see a yellow-cased IC that isn't a resistor array! As far as I know ICs are always either epoxy resin (black) or ceramic (brown). Here's what's in the box - £8.52 for a bag of 25. (29p+VAT each). Here's what would do the same job - 15p for a bag of 10 (1.3p+VAT each). Erm, how do you program a resistor array? The guy's just lying through his teeth.
  3. Cheaper to drive to Lexus Hanley and get it done. If you're hungry there's a carvery up the road, top grub - dirt cheap!
  4. Don't leave 'em on standby. Heat builds up inside as the fan doesn't run in standby mode, causing them to fail.
  5. It all depends on how far you're willing to travel. My dad tends to get head-hunted, working on anything from oil refineries and sewage pumping stations to Terminal 5 at Heathrow! He's currently working in the Middle East, I think it's 2 months on, 1 month off. Not what you'd want with a baby due, but if you're a good engineer there are jobs out there. Chin up, and good luck.
  6. The one I read before went a bit further... A guy goes into the vet's with his alsatian, which he says is having trouble waking up. The vet examines the dog, puts on a grave face and explains that the dog is dead. The man demands a second opinion. The vet brings in two animals from the next room - a ginger tabby, and a black labrador. The cat walks around the alsatian twice, looks up at the vet and offers a plaintive meow. The vet tells the man that the cat thinks his dog is dead, too, but the man demands another opinion. So the black labrador goes over to the alsatian, sniffs it, lowers his head and growls softly. The vet tells the man his dog is dead, and both the cat and the labrador agree. The man finally accepts the diagnosis and asks the vet how much he owes him. "£650" says the vet. "£650?" says the man. "How on earth can you justify that?" "Well," says the vet, "...it would only have been £50 but you insisted on the cat scan and the lab tests..."
  7. C16XUS is ridiculously overpriced, considering it needs mis-spacing and a dodgily-placed numberplate bolt in order to be anything like C LEXUS. I paid less than that for 5LXS!
  8. 28 spelling errors, his spelling of the same words seems to vary throughout the listing! Jeeez...
  9. I don't think there's a connection. www.lexuses.co.uk registered to a Michalis Khongthong on 17th April 2007, whereas Marklkent signed up on LOC on... oh. Site is hosted by BGFWeb.com in the US by the way.
  10. A very light smearing of dog or cat **** around the base of one of the caps would be a nice surprise for them - just remember to hose it off before checking your tyre pressures!
  11. Nice pics there. Mine's a Panasonic DMC-LX2, 7.5 megapixels in 4:3 mode extending to 10MP in 16:9 mode. Beats the hell out of my old Kodak (I was one of the ones who got it cheap when they messed up on their website). That one ended up smashed up and in the bin!
  12. Average about 18.5mpg on LPG. I don't know about the petrol figure, a tank of petrol lasts me ages now!
  13. I'd like to see courtesy cars with sat nav, so you can find your way back when the car's ready!
  14. On my Carina E it was 4th, great for throwing the car round the bends through Powys at night! Course, got an auto now...
  15. Welcome to the club! Is that Aberdare? It looks very familiar!
  16. You may find your local Toyota dealer will stock it as well. Just ring them up and quote the paint code off your VIN plate.
  17. Running 2000 throughout the house, every time I use XP I find something new to hate about it! Might switch to Vista when it's finished. Seeing as they only finished Windows 98SE a few months back that'll probably be a while!
  18. There's a place near Pontypridd who rebuild car radiators (they'll take the top and bottom sections and fit them to a brand new core). If anyone's interested I'll see if I can find their details as a mate of mine's used them in the past.
  19. Depends where you go. Price for the 50K service on my GS300 varied between £74 (Hanley) and £399 (Isle of Man). Lexus Hanley is usually the cheapest by far, worth the extra trek to go there! Search the forum for "price matrix" and you'll get Hanley's pricing.
  20. Depends where you go. Could always try Mazda at Hanley (Lexus Hanley is in the same building! :P )
