The inspector on the TV series " Scott & Bailey " drives a 300h and she keeps taking the fob from her handbag and using the button to unlock the doors, the stupid woman is driving me mad. D

The bumpers on the LS430 were looking a little shabby due to car park scrapes and the passenger wing mirror had also been scraped on somthing in the past. So I decided she deserved a little TLC so it was booked into the body shop on Wednesday for a few repairs and a bit of paint. Been to see it today and everything was stripped off the car for repair and has been painted to a lovely finish. The car will be built back up on Monday and I will get it back. Can wait to get it back and will post some pics of the finished job. She will then go away for winter and be nice and fresh for next spring and summer.

Collected the car - and then spent 6 hours driving from Southampton to Holyhead. First impressions are that it is everything I hoped it would be - comfortable, fast (when you want to) and serene when you just want to cruise. All the gadgets to wile away time in traffic jams but they don't get in the way of the driving experience. Many happy hours of getting to know the car ahead......pics to follow. Still have to try the throttle blip Damien - maybe on the way to the NCT. Gavan

You're welcome! Had me going when I bought mine. I had to get the mechanic from the dealership to show me how because like you, the way I had it described to me, it was push to engage. Never driven anything else with the same system either.

Confused me as well to begin with. It's NOT push to engage. You just move it sharply to the left past where the gate for 1st/2nd is. If you move it slowly you'll feel pressure but if you flick it quickly, it just goes past that point. You don't even have to be rough with it. Just "flick".

It's funny how you picked up on that part, but not the part where I said "he isn't honest with the faults the car has, and that he messes about with the milage, and has always got an invoice for the Cambelt being done"
