my old and ancient Ls400 rapidly blows swathes of hot air very well onto the windscreen ............. isn't that enough technology for most ! Malc

Excellent pro tem choice I'm sure ........ rust free ? coz that can be catastrophic on that age RX300 I understand Malc

and especially if you never have another slight prang or road chip or trolley dent whatever .. you're very brave to spend that sort of ££££ just to spruce her up to look like new .......... on a 15 year old lady however dear to your heart she may be Malc

That's the most praise I've received about me in a very long time ............ thank you ............. 😉 Malc

welcome Peter Malc

that must be a Prince Ranier car then spoken about before on here .......... looks beautiful Malc

did they use the later Wolseley 6/110 too .... 3 ltr straight 6 ....... George Gently tv progs maybe ! ( one of the cars I briefly learnt to drive on, my dad had one for a time ) Malc

and I've not been there for many years .... possibly in my Mk1 Lexus or even prior, sometime in the last century maybe Am I thinking / remembering those blocks of flats each possibly being built on the site of a single glorious house too ? a very wealthy area in its day methinks Malc

good to hear non-fuel stuff going on right now ........ hoever disturbing things really are Malc

is that at St. Annes by any chance ? Malc

it's such a shame that wonderful cars are left to effectively rot away in a barn and not enjoyed Malc

methinks Hitler had much standing ovation and praise too .... thankfully that's past I'm seeing what looks like Aleppo in much of Ukraine and Assad refusing to comply with request to send his own crack troops / militia or whatever to assist the destruction of humanity in Ukraine ....... maybe Assad has learnt a few lessons too ..... too late tho' methinks, I feel sure he will follow Saddam and Ceausescu with their natural outcomes ... time will tell eh ! Malc

AND I remember visiting the old boy in Hull area who had the enormous lifetime collection of Humbers ..... in his old potato storage works .... his sons ran another business from those attached premises if I remember did anyone else ever visit him there ?? . I think he died a year or two back sadly Amazing colection I thought Malc

yes for sure sadly ... so the sooner the ultimate Terroist is snuffed out the sooner supplies will get back to some sort of sensible balance ...... happy to buy all the Russian output forever, in Roubles, Euros, Dollars . even gbp ££ .. provided it's controlled by someone with an ounce of sanity towards humankind .... for God's sake remove this evil nutcase ...... I'm sure Russia has many great statesmen in the wings just waiting to come forward to make Russia Great Again NOW . going back a year or two i remember that Brazil was the economy to watch out for .. bigger than the UK in world parlance ...... and simply summat to do with their immense offshore oil and/or gas reserves that were too expensive to extract at the then ambient world pricing ..... maybe that's all changing right now and Brazil will be the next ideal quality regular supplier for .. Europe ..... c'mon BP, what's going on next ? .... please tell Malc

just in case the evil in him reverts to blossoming and he can be identified in all manner and style by some of those amazing " snipers " to remove him, you know, scrubbed out like an irritant flea or bug on your windscreen Malc sorry we digress ......... topic of the moment YES bring the evil bugger down and fuel prices will follow downwards I'm quite sure

salutary warning about Bridgestone tyres methinks Malc

YES for sure when the mad terroist nutter Poo Tin has been emoved from Tsar like power and the world reverts to the UAE, much of South America and Russia again together with the USA and UK producing far more oil than it's humanly possible to use on a day to day basis ...... supply and normal demand will revert.... and prices will become Market led . as ever before Malc

hahahahahahaha ..... maybe when I get around to " upgrading " to a newer model I'll take your advice as my dotage may necessitate me looking for some posture springing stuff

Excellent choice of car Not so with AF from my own personal experience of being totally 120% dissatisfied with their Claims Handling a couple of years past Using Saga seems to be ok for me right now The premium paid is only of value when you come to experience their claims handling fiascos whichever company you're with My dear old Ls400 which I've had for 11 years now, originated from Lexus Poole ....... thumbs up to them for sure Malc

Steve, your Investment Banker status is assured ... you can join the ranks of Warren Buffet the sage of Omaha ..... as the sage of Derbyshire ....... I filled the Honda Legend today, down to 12 miles left it said .... £104.61 ...... couldn't of course use the Pay at Pump .. I just knew it would be over that £99 limit, even for the local Tesco E10 at 156.9p / ltr Is that a good price i wonder Malc

crossing waters and wild Italian pandas outside a chicken coop, well guys . just lighten up a little .......... had it been the Queen's Rolls Royce then the anti-monarchists too could have had a dig ..... BUT all said, the dickheads who parked there and the ignorant family members who didn't tell the stupid driver to park sensibly all deserve to be severely punished and their Co-Op points removed forever Malc

Mark hello and welcome to this forum .... I'm intrigued as to why you would want to use Halfords ........ have you had this esteemed car long and who's looked after it prior ? There's much written here about your car and it's age would have normally taken a toll with rust, often very detrimentally so sadly ........ tell us more please.. we're here to help where we can ..... your car regn would maybe help us with MOT Advisories etc Malc

now let's turn to my 2006 Honda Legend too .......... been running on the now updated time since last autumn when it wouldn't auto change .... it used to in years past ok ........ Car Manual is great but doesn't solve my problem .. Main Dealer might charge £180 ( incl Vat ? ) to sort it so I'll live with it all for now whatever ......... thankfully my old and ancient Mk3 Ls400 is just a manual simple push of the digits ...... now how's me arthritis in me fingers this cold wet Kent morning Malc

Thank heavens so few such arrogant non-caring people own such a Lexus ..... all other Lexus owners are serene polite and considerate ( of course ) ........... except maybe when faced with some cyclists .. but hey .. there's other Posts about such behaviour methinks .......... Malc

well don't come south for sure . it's damp cold and very grey here in Kent 😵 Malc
