one of the benefits of imports is the cheap road tax LOL

I need to correct myself, interior is based on ABCD A being tops. B is the norm.

Also, japanese dating system is different to ours, they are not in year 2018 LOL Japanase years are different, so expect to see comething like 2016 Heisei 28 2015 Heisei 27 2014 Heisei 26 2013 Heisei 25 so if you see 20 on service docs means 2008 which means the last 2 digits of our date system is 12 years behind. http://www.ewc.co.jp/Pages/Information/CalendarEN.aspx

When you ask for auction sheet, keep an eye open for his reaction. I recently searched for an import and half the time the dealer avoided me, because this is quite an important document. It tells you the real condition of the car when it was sold. Things can be repaired here to hide anything. I recently overlooked a friends car who claims it was an action 4 exterior, he had dents all over the car, no way can it be an grade 4 exterior. Grade 4 (most common grade) which means its got a few small marks and stone chips, normal for a car that age. 3.5 will mean its for a dent and some scratches etc. 3 it's pretty bad condition 4.5 will mean it's spotless. Look for the R symbol. What a lot of dealers do, (not saying your dealer has) but they photocopy them with different numbers. Very easy to do. Get mileage verification, ask for a Bimta or Jevic mileage check certificate. Also vital.

Is this a new import? If so do you have a copy of the auction sheet? top right hand corner of the sheet has a number, either 3, 3.5, 4 or 4.5 and then another underneath the same numbers. First one is condition of car and second is condition of interior. Both are vital to see and inspect any forgeries. Usually best to crawl over this document to make sure it has not been in any accidents. If the number has an R after it then its classed as a repair.

Gold members can save around 15%, more in some cases depending on the dealer. I can see your in dublin Wayne , We only have Belfast as UK dealers only on our list. However, lexus do have some servicing offers normally on their website.

Awesome buy.. and having that extended warranty is amazing, they are pretty good warranties too. i've claimed a few times with no quibble.

I think you'll find its the mat got stuck under accelerator... seen it many times here. Even happened to myself once. scary, good job i was in a manual. Edit: reread post. ok not under the mat. Are you 100% sure?

did it with the LFA in 2014.. fun day

i had a neighbour who had an Alpine, my god it was a heap. It had a twisted chassis so crabbed down the road, exhaust fell of regularly. Engine sounded like a bag of nails. Funny now as i had not thought about it in many years and that brought back funny memories of what a heap pf a car that really was.

This has been sorted Rick 🙂

Guides should be posted within the tutorials section and not stickies. Although I like the idea of have a notable threads type post and only mods add threads that are worthy of a mention and would be very handy to members. I am not a fan of stickies, i believe they should only be sticky for a certain period of time then fall back to a normal post. Stickies make the forum section look outdated and cumbersome.

Green Spark Plug Co are good. used them before

All web servers will have a max limit to prevent the server going under extreme heavy load. Basically the setting only allowed 150 concurrent connections, so everyone was put in a queue. I have increased this level and the server load level has gone up, but not enough to make it slow performance wise. Working very well.

yes, basically the server was throttled and was running out of worker connections, i increased the maximum workers and it has improved. I will keep an eye on it.

I have tweeked the website's ECU and now sticking her on the dyno LOL Looking better already.. i will keep tweeking. I am no longer getting reports of downtime, must of had 2000 reports, my phones ringtone was on fire. Funny how it gets fixed at the end of the bank holiday weekend. Just typical

cheers John yes i noticed that when i was out at tescos.. stressed out in the bread isle :D

not at all.. guaranteed to happen lol had to cancel a trip last minute as not resolved. All else fails then a new server on the way.

Hi Guys Some of you are probably experiencing a slow website the last couple of days. I am trying to get this sorted asap and have spent most of today trying to get it sorted. It always happens on a bank holiday. Please bear with us.

yes i have heard of shortages. Luckily my local shell had a fresh delivery. Won't be long before they will get their delivery.
