  1. Hi guys Finally got a chance to take the car down to Watford to see Tony for a geometry test. Seems alot better now more responsive when cornering but still a bit 'twichy' at the back when cornering? Tony could we look at this when its back for the 2k tweek? :winky:
  2. Hi Guys Just booked my car in to go and see Tony. Drivivng down to Watford from Stoke cant bear the handling of the car any longer! Just hope Tony can work magic like you guys say he can.... :)
  3. Hi Mate having same dilema my self. thinking of audi A3 2.0t FSI Quattro S line Spec Edition!!! But its proving to be a pain even asking for it the name is that long! Also equipment wise no one can touch Lexus! Just dont know what to do might feel different when had the Geometry sorted! .... If not she's a gonna!
  4. Did you find it all went ok? have you had any problems with the car at all?
  5. Hi Guys Just seeing if any of you out there have used Broadspeed to buy your new car? Looks too good to be true? :)
  6. Kind words indeed.....Thank You. It just does to show how geometry denies the luxury suspended within the Lexus. Despite the tyre wear there was not one specific area to blame, but 8 or so were in conflict... an hour later you owned the drive the geo withheld. With a subliminal smile i think few will reply to your thread...... that's a good thing.... most will read the title and think..... 'Yeah i know' :D See you in 2000 miles..... D See you in 2000 miles..... soz to but in but is this all the miles you can do in between having your geometry done? I do this in about 5 weeks
  7. Just spoke with Tony the man himself. Sounds a top bloke who deffinatly knows what he's doing, told him basically I feeel like getting rid of the car at the moment because if handles so bad... he assured me that nothing 'serious' is wrong with the car its just been set up wrong on the geometry test. Will make the trip down to see him soon as hopfully he will sort the car out please nobody shoot me for saying this... but i also wanted to sell my car last month... the handling on it was pants, and often made me angry at myself. i went to see the doc, and with deep investigation, the problem has been resolved... go and see dr bones, and i'm sure by the end of it all, you will be glad you haven't sold out.... deep investigation.... That sounds expensive!! Tony wasnt sure about exact price but he mentioned around the £70 mark. Gladly pay that if it sorts me baby out!

  9. Hi Guys Hope you are all well. quick summary car is handling :tsktsk: awful! Has been for quite a while but now is unbearable! Had a geometry test done At A LEXUS DEALER early last year, just found the wheels inmotion web site and e mailed my report across to them for there comments as I was not happy with the cars handling!!! there comments: As per usual that report was ****! front: it has LH WHEEL and RH WHEEL M.V (measured values) and AV ( actual values) camber lh av @ -22' rh av @ -0.02' the position should be -30' on both wheels. castor lh av @ +5Deg44' rh av @ + 6Deg28' If the rh camber was dropped to match the lh then the castor also would have matched... Proof is.... kind-pin... lh 9Deg52 rh 8Deg12 If the rh camber was again lowered then the kp would become higher as a figure The rear shows similar neglect in the camber positions.... Sorry mate if this is the geometry you have been driving on the no wonder she handles 'pants' now Every IS's geometry will 'go off' in time.... the problems become really bad if this 'off' is out of balance... yours is! Any thought on what I should do about this as these tests are not cheap... Who do we trust guys who do Geometry test day in day out for a living or our TRUSTED LEXUS DEALERS? cheers
  10. Hi guys. Are the window/wing mirror control ment to light up? bit fiddly in the dark to fing them!
  11. Hi Guys Started to get a weird rubbing / grinding noise from the gear stick when in 5th / 6th sound like the leather housing is being chewed up by something?? Any ideas?
  12. Hi Mate how much are you looking to spend on you lex?
  13. What? Which tyres rock? Are you on about the Khumos or the Bridgestones at £95 each??
  14. yes chris. Ian at alpha seems a nice guy, not sure what to do now though? You opted for the khumos then? would you have had these if you were not selling you car?
  15. Yeah still like the sound of the Toyos my self. Just been offered some bridgestone Re7020's for £95 each fitted?? the options are endless?
  16. Hi guys Just after a few thoughts from you. I have read loads of links on tyres but still cant make my mind up on what to get? Links vary from Toys's being fantastic - Toyo's worst tyres ever? My Is is totally standard so I dont need anything too fancy. Running Dunlop Sp9000's now but only because they were on the car! cheers :duh:

    New Tyres

  18. COLD

    New Tyres

    Hi guys just need your feedback on this price for these tyres. Toyo Proxes T1 R's £89.95 fully fitted and balanced Does this sound about right? I have read many links about these tyres and you all say they are pretty good but nothing much mentioned about the cost? cheers col.
  19. Good point. Finally sorted it went back to Nottingham they still dont agree doing the test on worn tyres but they have finally agreed to pay for a full geomerty test at a dealer of my choice. So any time you can fit me in Chris.
  20. Thought so mate. Been told that if they do the test with old tyres on when I do change to new tyres the geometry of the car will be set to the old tyre spec so same tyre wear will happen again?? sound like another fob of to anyone?
  21. Hi guys Just a quick question on the confusing geometry test matter. Do you have to have 4 good tyres ie. not worn to enable the tech guys to carry out the test in the first place??
  22. Not sure how you got this price mate I phone Stockport for a price for 40k service and they quoted me nearly £400
  23. Hi guys alots happend since my original post! Car went in for service no probs they still say gears are ok they changed the gearbox oil and they say it has sorted the problem out but it is still there! They did say any problems bring it in and they will strip it down taking a few days so back to NOTTINGHAM we go! Will keep you all informed.
  24. Its a 'trait' I dont want though. just found a link where a guy has had his sorted took about 8 months of complaining though! as for the oils I have just been reading about them so will try that or at least tell them to change it on the 40k service.
  25. Glad yours have been ok mate but mine doesnt feel good. even worse when the girlfriend drives it.
