Hopefully you are alone Philip, at least those are my thoughts anyway. Without the cameras, the scumbags will get away with anything and everything on a regular basis. Did you actually read the detail of my original post? People jump red lights everyday, I don't get overly concerned by that, just a little irritated but, when a driver actually pulls out from behind me in stationary traffic waiting at a red light, and then proceeds across the junction, then I'm afraid that that takes the biscuit! I wonder what your thoughts would have been had you have been making a left turn at those lights, and you had had a head-on collision with a car that was on your side of the road (which you would not have expected at a light controlled junction), as this driver would have been. Would you not have been thankful that someone was able produce crystal clear evidence that shows that he was at fault and driving dangerously? Equally, there may have been a pedestrian who saw that the lights had changed to red and the first car in the line had stopped, and so he assumes it is safe to cross, but no, some idiot pulls out from that line of traffic and he has to jump out of the way, or worse still gets mown down! What if that pedestrian was a member of your family? Sorry but I am a fan of CCTV, the more the better as far as I am concerned. I have first hand experience of shoplifters taking my profits away. My thoughts are that if you can't abide by the rules of society then you should be removed from it until such time as you learn respect for others and their property, but that's another story.

........ you will have inner peace if you use your car everyday, it's a wonderfully therapeutic environment to spend at least a part of every day of your life Malc

Dont they scrub up well,looking very nice there Rudy,Silver def suits the LS400 particularly with gold badges

A tad off topic but, my MK4 LS400 had black leather and it really did suit, and looked great. In my opinion black clashes with the large amount of walnut on the 430. I really like the grey, gives a nice light airy feel.

On my 1993 I used to get a beep and indicators flashing and there was a knob under the dash for the beep. On my 1990 I get nothing and no knob under the dash, just behind the wheel ;)

Hi Beeps are possibly when you are coming up to speed cameras. I have an F Sport with upgraded sat nav etc. and the car beeps about 100m before the camera. Enjoy

The Alarm system uses power. I used to just 'Key-lock' mine. (Ser 4)

First time this happened to me in previous LS, made me panic, but having had 3 battery replacements, kind of get used to it. If the battery is fine fettle then should be able to leave standing for more than 2 weeks, even a MK4. Left my Mk4 for 3 weeks at Gatwick, fired up first time on return. Left my Mk2 once for 3 months, and it fired up first time. But a battery can go from good to pretty rubbish very quickly.

An LS always look nice when scrubbed up, I need to spend some time getting mine cleaned up, but as ever other DIY projects and the garden get my attention when the weather turns nice.
