    I would always happily go for Blueprint parts, never had any problems with them and many members say the same. They do water pumps for all LS's.

    Just being silly, mostly because I'm away in Cornwall and the cider makes you that way. I looked at the link and saw the part but I'm not over familiar with it, looks more like a hand grenade with a pin!
  3. The-Acre
    I'm not familiar with that, where does that go?
  4. The-Acre
    The easiest job ever on these engines, 10 mins tops. I bought a Continental, made in Germany for £19. I also measured it, 86" long!
  5. The-Acre
    I think he may mean beer!
  6. The-Acre
    Agreed, I don't think they have the knowledge to cope with such a complex car.

    You wouldn't hear it from outside and it's more like Steve said, a feeling more than a sound. It's certainly not a problem, it's just with everything else being so quiet it's noticeable, albeit brief. The previous owner always had genuine parts fitted and it even did it when I bought it from him.

    I've actually had that slight grumble from all the LS's I've owned, regardless of the make of pads, I just assumed they all do it.
  9. The-Acre
    I haven't but I think I will, just to see if the 430 performs in the same way.

    I can only comment on my experience with Avon which is to say I find them excellent. Quiet, superb grip, but too early to say how long they last. Of course they may feel different on other vehicles. Certainly at this stage I would buy them again, and I like the way they're made in the UK.

    Listening to two guys chatting this morning whilst having new tyres fitted. One was thumbing through a car mag and asking his mate why TG can't be more like the mag, discussing and testing cars that the average driver buys instead of those that the wealthy can afford. I couldn't agree more, that's the way it used to be, and that's what I found interesting. Plus the odd act of lunacy thrown in of course!
  12. The-Acre
    Yes it is.
  13. The-Acre
    Superb! And I'm assuming you called in at the Lamorna Pottery for the best cream tea in Cornwall!

    Interesting what you say about Pirelli. I had them on my Volvo, miles of tread left but a horrible ride with really bad tramlining, changed them for Avons and it's a different car!
  15. The-Acre
    Interesting, and the big wheels really suit it.
  16. The-Acre
    Nice job! How does it ride with those wheels?
  17. The-Acre
    Well done that's a first class tutorial. It's also great info for anyone replacing rear shocks as the seat has to come out. Excellent stuff!
  18. The-Acre
    I guess so. What an amazing thing though to have a guitar so well used that it's worn in to a hole but its still used!
  19. The-Acre
    Wow, that's impressive. What on earth holds that together, the pressure from the strings much be considerable.
  20. The-Acre
    No picture!
  21. The-Acre
    Well now, I wonder how many accidents it will cause as the sun reflects off of that large mirror! I'm looking forward to finding some time to get the Autoglym products out on my old girl.
  22. The-Acre
    I find that once I've put the effort in to get it clear and shiny again it's easier to keep on top of it with less effort. Makes a huge difference to the look. Well done!
  23. The-Acre
    Nice job, better than the usual colours in my opinion. Not a look for an LS owner though!! We would have to do it in beige!
  24. The-Acre
    It seems that you just have one of those issues that can't be detected until it either gets worse or fails, but of course neither may happen showing it not to be mechanical at all.
  25. The-Acre
    Steve, have you never eaten a real Cornish pasty sitting in a Lexus? Call yourself a moderator, come on!!
