    Has anyone fitted Lexus Roof Bars themselves to their NX300h using the instruction booklet? The instructions are all visual and, I feel, do not fully cover the correct fitting of the bars.

    Where are you transferring your music from (to the USB)? Do the files show up on the USB stick via your computer?

    I agree, it is the width rather than the length that is more of an issue. The fuel consumption in urban driving can be eye watering. On a good run (over 20 miles) on motorways or A roads it is very acceptable for a 4 litre V8 in my opinion. You need to compare the LS400 with and XJ Jag of similar vintage to appreciate the difference in quality and economy..

    Look at what bells and whistles you already have and see if you can find a similar spec. My NX does not have memory seats like my old RX but it really does not bother me. Fuel economy may not be quite as good as your IS 300h but around 40 mpg is good as far as I am concerned. Not sure you would get a decent part exchange as they would be unlikely to sell your car, it will probably go to auction. Use WBAC to get a ball park figure and see a Lexus dealer can get near it. Had my NX 6 months and agree with previous contributors. You will enjoy the extra space.

    There are many areas having the same issues.

    Is Canterbury Toyota going to be transferred to Steven Eagell?

    This can be annoying, as when it detects a 20 mph zone it will stay there until it "sees" another sign. They do not put 30mph signs after a 20mph zone.

    Very difficult to put a value on these cars. Trade wise they are not worth much but to those "in the know" they can attain decent money - depending on condition. Consider your valuation of the car and then look on AutoTrader to see what you ca.n buy for that money (other makes not just Lexus). I was somewhat surprised of how little you get for £4,000

    I think the original post was tongue in cheek. A bit harsh Vlad?
  10. Spacewagon52
    I wise choice. Another good LS400 may come along in the future.

    I would bite the financial bullet and buy from a Lexus Dealer, one with a full service history. Provided you have the car serviced at a main Lexus dealer, you get a 10 year Relax Warranty. Servicing is not cheap but you will get peace of mind knowing that non-consumable repairs should be covered.

    I had a 1974 Carina, like the white one. A fantastically reliable car. I saw it do 100,000 miles, then my friend bought it for his wife to learn to drive. It died of rust - the engine was still good.
  13. Spacewagon52
    I think you do have to service a Tesla?

    I am going to use Lanoguard. I have used Waxoyl in the past. By all accounts Lanoguard is easy to apply but needs doing every 12 months. I feel it is worth the effort. Another member on here is doing the same and will hopefully post photos.
  15. Spacewagon52
    Photos of the vintage cars please!
  16. Spacewagon52
    If the tyres are the correct specification for that vehicle I would not be too concerned. They are budget tyres - depends how you drive. The dealer put those on because they were cheap! £53 If you were unhappy with them, then you will need to budget for a complete change and possibly sell the Black Arrows ?

    You have an itch to scratch Malc! Is this going to be a replacemen t for one of your cars? It could be an interesting choice.
  18. Spacewagon52
    BX61SYO? £8995? Looks a peach - but speedometer has not been converted to mph? Would that be an MOT issue? Compliance?
  19. Spacewagon52
    Cant find it on autotrader
  20. Spacewagon52
    The white one Malc?

    The only car I have driven in with a ride nearly as good as the LS400 was an old Citreon DS Safari Estate.
  22. Spacewagon52
    Consider the car is an old Citreon - you have to cancel them yourself! My LS400 indicators are very quiet and that can lead to them being left on.
  23. Spacewagon52
    Yes, had one made for a RX300. It was not the same fob - more like a VW one. Localish locksmith charged around £180 IIRC.
  24. Spacewagon52
    Please take some photos if you can - I am interested in doing this myself. Just keep the Lanoguard away from the brake assembly. I understand you can put it on the exhaust but not the manifold.

    Blocked nozzles? Go to a petrol station and blast some air down the holes. Have you checked underneath to see if the pipe has come loose? There will be water on the floor. I believe there is only one pump.
