    Keith, have you considered why you do not see some of these "rare" cars very often on the road? The reason is that they spend most of their time in the garage being repaired!

    Thanks John, I had not seen this particular firm in my research. I just wanted to know if anyone has had sensors fitted to their Lexus by a mobile service and if they did a good job? I know the car is a 2004 model but she is in excellent condition and I would loath a cowboy to mess it up.

    I wish to fit reversing sensors to my 2004 RX300. It does not have a reversing camera. Has anyone used a mobile service? I had a quote from an independent garage of £550. I felt they did not want the job. Would be grateful for your advice. Thank you

    The longer you keep a car, the more value you get from depreciation. My neighbour paid £22,000 for a VW Passat Estate (all bells and whistles) in 2007! He has spent approximately £3000 on repairs (excluding servicing) A cost of approximately £1,500 a year. If he had traded it in at 3 years (50% depreciation) The depreciation would be £3700. But do have in mind what £22,000 would be worth now? Imagine buying a car for £3500 and keeping it for 5 years with no extra repair costs - possible with a Lexus!

    It is good to get recommendations from members.

    I would be getting it checked asap if I thought that might be the issue.

    If English is your second language you do not need worry about being perfect. English is a strange language, as the written form is very different from the spoken. We use idioms in speech far too often! As in another language ........... same horse, different jockey!

    On TV news etc. you often hear the phrase ............. "It centres around the issue........" You can't centre around something, you must centre on it.

    Brake squeal can be quite embarrassing at zebra crossings. Sounds like you did not want to stop!

    The important thing is that you are understood. The correct use of grammar is becoming like the old school tie. There are many successful people out there who have severe dyslexia and find the finer points of written English very hard to grasp. This can make people reluctant to take part in forums such as this. If you can use your English writing skills, then do so but please everyone, be aware of others that do not have these skills - they also need to be heard.

    To play music to an appreciative audience must be such a buzz. I envy you David.
  14. Spacewagon52
    Totally agree.
  15. Spacewagon52
    Sorry David - yes you are old!

    Mini Metro successor?

    Toyota Supra?

    I agree. Regarding reliability, I was not comparing an ICE with an EV motor. My concern was over the electrics. Electrics on cars seem to be the limiting factor regarding keeping them on the road.
  21. Spacewagon52
    Just because it is electric does not automatically mean it is reliable. The initial EV craze will fall off. Toyota are aiming for hydrogen, it just needs the production and infrastructure of the gas to develop. Our homes will be heated with it in the future. I can see many two car households having one EV but not for the main car. With emissions, DPF's etc hybrid is the way forward for the next few years. Just my opinion.

    My father-in-law had a 2300 - very poorly made. It stalled on a hill with a small caravan on the back and he could not pull away. Never ran that well either, always problems with the carburettors.

    I saw a green/yellow coloured liquid that was advertised to clear dirt from a car like magic. The advert was very impressive, so I bought some, at a premium price. On smelling the liquid in the fancy bottle, I realised it was FLASH! I fell for the hype - as I have done on other occasions! I have bought many items that would change my life dramatically, only to discover they were hardly used. I too have an unused Supagard kit!

    Great story! I wish I had known this in 1989!

    Phil, would you be my doctor as well?
