  1. mine is limited to about 15k miles a year ..................... I always expect to do at least one 4k mile tour somewhere in Europe and then there's a tour or 2 of the UK too Adrian Flux, jeez, hope you never have to make a claim ...... my personal experience of them is HIDEOUS and TERRIBLE I wouldn't touch them again with even your bargepole I've learnt that price is just one very very important factor with insce, the other is the ( in )credulity of the insurer and their ability to stick by you Malc
  2. Hey everyone, wasn't quite expecting this from Saga for my renewal in February ......... and I don't think it's a joke either sadly I've yet to call them to have a serious discussion on their humour ................... I'm on their Fixed 3 year cover which is meant to be to my advantage, I can change at any time I know " We've slightly reduced your price which means your renewal price for this year is £ 371.12 .......................... Your price for last year was £ 371.13 Joy of Joy a whole one penny reduction ........... come come, it MUST surely be a joke, taking the peeeee Malc
  3. ah !!! I wasn't talking about the same parts on mine I was referring to the strip between and joining those two " edges " ........ that's all I had surgically removed, the rest is intact thankfully Malc
  4. come come, at @ £4mn who's worried Malc
  5. I'm flabbergasted at that ! .......... mine's 232 k miles and 25 years young and my indy assures me the actual exhaust is " like new " still ..... but he has welded the mild steel bits from time to time at tiny cost Malc
  6. in a heartbeat ....... I wouldn't hesitate, if that's all it takes to get her to where you want her to be Jeez, that's just a couple of months or so finance on a new car ! Malc
  7. those lower lips on mine got pranged heaps of times over the years ....... had them carefully surgically removed by my indy some time back ... found them to be a pain in the proverbial, always getting banged and damaged ..... and of course nothing to do with the driver, bad design of kerbs etc Malc
  8. OMG so inexpensive one could buy a half dozen ....... resting on a Sunday .... seriously tho' this is a 9/2018 article, wonder what's happened in the intervening period looks an absolute bargain Malc
  9. My RAC Full Breakdown Recovery and European Cover too covers me and prtnr driving any car too ..................... and when the alternator went on both our cars over about a year ( Ls400 and 56 plate Honda Legend ) in the UK mind you, the RAC were splendid I think European / Overseas Recovery of the vehicle to the UK really does depend on vehicle value ...... the occupants are of course Priceless .......... not Valueless tho' Oh, and my RAC Full cover stuff just happens to now be free of annual charge as I've been a Member for 50+ years Malc
  10. I remember with the original Ls400 and Dunlop actually developed the DZ8 tyre for the " new " car Malc
  11. a sad tale methinks .......... Toyota couldn't have really wanted to achieve water and air supremacy coz if they had wanted to they surely would have achieved their goal ................... maybe too niche a market that volume would never really support eh ! Malc
  12. you haven't said the colour you need .................. and getting a specific drivers seat from a 24 year old car ............. that's in VERY good condition will be like seeing elephants fly imho Malc
  13. Amayama I have used very successfully to purchase OEM, Toyota stamped actually, Upper Control Arms Prices delivered are about 50% of UK Toyota / Lexus supplied retail price being Amayama price + carriage + Customs Duty + VAT + Royal mail handling charge = 50% of UK retail prices usually Malc
  14. I would ask again, maybe your GP this time ....... for a definitive statement ........ he is your GP after all coz if you don't and drive and have an accident, well, your insurers may void you☠️ Malc
  15. On my wish list is to pop over to the USA ( again ) and buy a Ls400 to drive around with for maybe a month after covid of course Malc
  16. David hi, there are many people on here who know quite a lot about the Ls430, but none would ever profess to be an " expert " perhaps you have a specific issue that could be addressed ? Malc
  17. ( replacing ) just the sump washer on mine at the last service, the very first time the washer has had to be replaced to my knowledge in maybe 25 annual services, the washer was a ridiculous £38 incl vat My indy got it etc ..... seems amazing for a tiny washer, but there we are ......... £1.50 a year i guess isn't too bad Malc
  18. that's a brilliant link, thank you Malc
  19. Phil, where are you in the world ...... you don't say Malc
  20. does this totally obviate the potential for the watercoolant / gearbox oil to ever mix then ? Malc
  21. does everyone on here have such skinny bum padding that they really need heated seats ? Malc
  22. on a lesser note, many years ago I was quite involved with Longplayer, a company that provided insurance coy replacements for stolen etc videos, records, dvds and the like .... long gone with the advent of say, spotify etc NOW we had a big big issue with office waste bins, and yes, it was a big H&S issue at the time believe it or not The rules frequently moved between having metal bins, wicker bins, cardboard bins and I think finally back to metal bins for fire safety issues ..... and quite ridiculous costs in between all the changes Malc
  23. I understand the recall was avoided by Lexus in the UK sadly Mine still rarely plays up Malc
  24. odd size bulbs can sometimes be found in old fashioned garages stocks, up on a dusty shelf Malc
