took car in monday to lexus nottingham for full service the staff were great ,everything on car running spot on. with gold membership got discount of around £80 so was really happy at £368. since i have been a gold member from june including the discount at halfords i have saved well over £100 membership is such good value.

hi I got my air pipe out however I did split airline so will need another line a bit hard to explain but is just similar to a brake pipe the end of air line that goes into top of strut once nut is removed and slid up the pipe it actually only pushes into strut the little collar at bottom has 2 o rings on it , problem I had is there is a long metal sleeve about 30mm long that pushes into strut it is the inner metal collar you will see when looking at top however it is an extremely good fit and tight and mine was rusted in now I have done one next time I would use lost wd40 and the pipe doesn't push to the stop so there is a bout 10 mm I found it best to tap collar further into strut keeping the wd40 spraying this taping into strut even just a couple of mm ment it was freed and not jammed on rust I sprayed some more and tapped in a bit further it cant go all in to strut there is a stop just like a brake pipe with the sprayed fluid and the movement that broke the sealed rust and allowed it to pull out ok it is just a simple push in and bolt but sticks on collar that's all free collar and will pull out I now got to replace air line but know how goes for next time

On my old car I just chucked some of those silica gel pouches in you get from buying clothes/shoes in my headlight and it cleared it up :D. Although it didn't have that much moisture compared to yours

Stuart, if this is 'another' Lexus quality dive, what was the original one?

i think the past episodes of the wheeler dealers were the best - im not a fan of the recent ones where mike goes to america

............... I often think that sellers might purposefully take photos knowing reflections in the bodywork mask possible dents, scratches etc............... and confuse buyers If you know you have a perfect body ( unlike me ) then wouldn't you just take the photos somewhere so's not to have reflections like that !

good decision mal the 430 boxes are also prone to leaking - if i ever need to replace them i will be going down the OEM route

Picture of spoilers A bit big but I know how to post now.
