That's what the rules say but there are ways around it - he could quite easily have said that there was a problem with the car and had to withdraw it

I dont think it did. Mike are you saying it didnt sell? - why? there was no reserve on it so must of gone to the highest bidder or was the auction ended prior to finishing? It finished on time but says 'no bids' so I'm guessing he possibly withdrew it at the last minute due to probably not getting what he had hoped for it ;)

Hi & welcome to LOC Glad you're enjoying the car :D

If you are planning a whole day (plus probably more as it gets rather addictive) I'd go for something like the Millers Racing 300. You're not necessarily going to 'cook' the brakes but it's always better to be safe than sorry :) There's a link to the Millers fluid for sale on the Fensport website here Opie Oils have a few here but I'd say the Millers 300 is the far superior for just a few pence more :winky:

ROFL @ Steve & Ian We used to always get Banzai & Japanese Performance (and will probably start again once the Toyota Sprint Series season starts again as there's usually a write up and chance of a photo or 2) occasionally Classic Car & Top Gear but mainly it's dependant on what takes our fancy whilst browsing WH Smiths shelves One magazine we religiously got every month from it's very first issue was J-Tuner .... sadly it bit the dust a few years back now :(

Quite a few of the dealers will if they know you are genuinely interested :D & some used to let you have them for a weekend though I'm not sure if they do that anymore ;) Ohh and remember to take I.D. with you as they will no doubt want a copy of it before they entrust you with their car :)

I agree totally Ray, if something says 'not suitable' and that is backed up by medical proof then there should be a law stopping them selling it to those under age and penalties to suit (like they do with cigarettes etc) & have signed the petition :) I think a big part of the problem is that kids/parents don't necessarily know the effects that these types of 'energy' drinks can have or if they do it's a minor problem and they just see it as a quick & easy boost but question is: would you give your child an espresso coffee ? somehow I don't think so I'd guess action will only happen if the studies in the US find legitimate reasons to regulate and then possibly the UK will follow, but seeing as there are some seriously big companies producing the drinks I can't see it happening ;) although (according to Wiki) in Russia the sale of energy drinks is banned, Australia & New Zealand have restrictions in place on the amounts of caffeine they can contain & Latvia has changed the law to stop the sale of them to under 18's. France & Norway did have the sale of Red Bull blocked but it was lifted after appeal, so you never know :)

If just polishing it out hasn't worked then using a gentle cutting compound beforehand should do the job :)

So because the vehicle was a small van version before a car version came out it has to go under different speed rules - 'daft' I think is the polite term Though it does make you wonder how many of the drivers are actually aware of the ruling. Does the dealer hand you the keys and say "Ohh and by the way sir by driving this vehicle you are obliged to hold up other traffic on the road"

As far as I know the answer is no - I've found the following from April 2003 B)

Thanks Mikey - it was driving me mad too

Hi & welcome to LOC, congrats on your new car too :D There's a few decent induction kits about & generally ebay is your friend there's a couple here though I'm sure some of the guys will be along to advise & suggest and maybe know of one available at a decent price :winky:

Congratulations Martin :D Great photo's ..... & can't wait to see Steve and his car all dressed up :D

Hi Jamie, It maybe worth giving Fensport a ring as they maybe able to help, their number is 01354 696968 :) & sorry had to edit your post as only 'Gold Members' can offer items for sale

There's a thread here that may help you :) , though to be honest I have no idea of any garages in the countries you've listed that could do the job though it maybe worth asking on the EuroLOC site which can be found here and the 220D engine section is here - you can ask in English (99% of the members are fluent) if your German isn't great :winky:

Hi & welcome Stuart :) Good luck with your quest :)

Here you go Steve there is actually a forum topic with 4 pages discussing good/recommended dentists in Fethiye :D This internet business is blinkin' amazing (or rather what people discuss )

Not me.... I'll be gracing the Nurburgring :D

There's a few topics on this problem and if I remember correctly a few years ago there was a big discussion about it but I can't find it - though there is one here which may hopefully help :)

We've had a Sonus Porter Polisher for about 8-9 years now. It has random orbital action & variable speed control and has always done what it says on the box & comes with different grades of foam pads for each step and has definitely been worth the money :)

Hi & Welcome Ben :D Shame the previous owner didn't keep up the TLC but I'm sure you'll put things right again & enjoy Lexus ownership :winky:

It's easy to do - just mask up after cleaning and away you go :)

Hi Adam Send Steve a message - his profile is here and he should be able to sort it out for you :)

There's a thread here that may help :)

Hi & welcome :D Not a great start to Lexus ownership But as you say the next drive will hopefully be a bit more pleasurable :winky:
