  1. It was a case I never had one. Overated yes. However the residuals (depending on model) goes up in price rather than my old Tag - The Omega Speedmaster has also gone up, but I guess it was Ltd Edition. I sold the Box for £80 lol. Thats how valuable they are on the open market. However my travelling watch will always be the Casio G Shock Mudmaster - Solar powered reserves, Atomic clock adjustment and about every other feature you can imagine. Love it
  2. I also have a Rolex Explorer 2 purchased new in 2009 - Broke in 2012 when I was changing the time. Rolex UK told me to do one and wanted me to "service" it for £480. Its a watch I hardly wear as G shocks are my daily goto's. I wrote to Rolex Geneva and a week later I had a phonecall from Rolex UK. They arranged a courier fixed and cleaned it and returned it back in a week. I "did" have a Tag Heuer Chronograph and the special edition Schumacher Omega Speedmaster but was burgled 😞 Hence the replacement was the Rolex. To be honest, I miss those 2 rather than the Explorer 😄
  3. Can't beat a Casio G shock 😄 I have around 7 of them.
  4. As the drain pipe had a little bend the dispenser can only go up a certain distance and yes it did drip out as I was applying it this was done on my 4 post ramp so I don't think I could have done any better. For the vents it will seep out through some parts of the dash, you'll see it as its just like streaks, just wipe off with a damp cloth. I find this "foam" like cleanser is a little better than the aerosol "bomb" I used to use.
  5. I have this and tried the drain tube, its under the car nearer to the passenger side of the subframe. However it'll spew out and using them direct and deep in the airvents worked for me. However, once the foam subsides it turns to liquid so keep an eye out on lower crevices and it does weep out. So give it a wipe with a damp cloth.
  6. Recip Saw I would say
  7. Here's a clip of mine. To be honest it sounds like a baffle problem in the rear silencer? What's the mileage on the car? 20210127_162353.mp4
  8. My point is that I don't know whether dealers disclose that the pack is reconditioned. I have had a few customers (yes I am involved in the trade) that they've had brand new packs from Honda (1st Gen Civic IMA) and wasn't told or explained why they wanted the old pack back and the 'new' one installed and fitted for £1800 was reconditioned hence my conversation with my friend at Honda UK to verify this as my customer was absolutely certain the whole pack was entirely brand new, with new cells direct from Panasonic etc. I had my Samsung phone battery replaced by an official service centre. They made it very clear that the battery is reconditioned so that I know what I'm paying for (£130) is acceptable. So I'm wondering when Jason purchased the pack, whether the parts dept explained clearly what he was purchasing unlike Honda (without explaining)
  9. Some people including me, would think a "new" pack is a totally new manufactured from ground up as if it were installed on a production car. I'm not debating about how the cells are "remanufactured" but Jason has highlighted quite in depth what a "new" hybrid pack from a dealer consists of thats all.
  10. As my mate is works at Honda HQ, heres a fun fact - All the Hybrid batteries are "reconditioned" not brand new - Hence thats why they have an exchange policy for the old one etc. Not sure whether Lexus/Toyota has the same concept
  11. Lexus has advised me that if any BT problems, it could do with a firmware upgrade if its available. Worth calling a dealer and enquiring.
  12. Don't attempt to pry off the grille as they have plastic pegs that are sonic welded. My car literally had one break and wasn't sitting flush and rattles, so I had to repair it by taking it out. That means, side bolsters out, bench seat out, seats down, plastic trims behind the seat out, srs curtain trims out and THEN the shelf lifts out!
  13. I'll just generalise so there's no harm.. Browning Cynergy for the O/U, Benelli and Benelli for the Semi and Pump 🙂
  14. Take your pick.. I got Semi, O/U and pump 🙂
  15. Nope.. Will get done for discharging a firearm in a public place
  16. OK now I get it.. Thought did come to my mind however by the time I've been to the cabinet, unlocked the door with 2 locks, find which cartridge to use, load up, go out the house.. They'd be long gone 😂 and yes I would be arrested. I had an off the cuff chat with my FEO and most certainly will lose my guns and licence and maybe a record for protecting your own property..
  17. Completely lost me on that ...
  18. My retired neighbour who lives down my road has a 63 plate CT and a few nights ago a black Audi A3 (S3 or RS3) with 3 guys, pulled up and jacked up his car. Alarm was blaring hence I had a look outside to see whats going on. My neighbour heard the alarm and called the police, and he was shouting at the 3 guys but it didn't deter them. In fact the one that was keeping watch armed with a hammer, according to him spoke in a eastern european accent and told him to back off while his accomplices cut the cat off. All done in sub 2 mins by the time I was STILL asking for the rozzers via 999 🥺 Really feel for my neighbour didn't have recovery so I used my Lexus roadside assist to help him get the motor recovered to the dealer. Its like the wild west out there! they aren't "afraid" of anything these days.
  19. Is it broken in any way? Looking at the picture it just needs refitting?
  20. Since I use Makita 18v LXT tools I got the cordless air pump - great gadget providing you use Makita LXT 18v stuff.
  21. Its quite a popular "mod" in Japan. they use plugs that terminate at the end of the harness with the resistors built in.
  22. Tried a "soft" reboot? like press the power button for 10 secs?
  23. Lexus parts direct mate for a genuine battery
  24. Any pics mate? where did the spare go? just in the boot or was there a designated tray?
  25. Theres quite a few 2nd hand door cards floating about on ebay for about 70 quid maybe consider that option? I'm sure a leather trim specialist could repair but it would be down to your convienience of going there/posting out etc and probably will more or the same cost..
