Went down to the bakers. Mike.

I'm puzzled Malc. I thought the 400 system was mild steel? Back boxes apart, I see stainless ware underneath my lamentable 430. My MK4 has a complete stainless steel exhaust system as do all the other MK4s

Welcome to the LOC. We are a friendly bunch. Mike

I can only think of places like Ebay but could be a long wait if you are going for a particular colour. Try doing a Google search as well. Mike.

Erm, nothing is really for sale Mike. I was merely promoting the notion that a wrinkles-removed 430 was superior to any 400. (I'd add a fair degree of emoticons at this dangerous point but my tablet is being moody again) :) Then best not to include phrases like "a set of coilovers that I can sell to one of you lot" Mike.

Hi Deri, you do seem to behaving more than your share of bad luck. Who did you buy it from? Mike.

Your a bloody genius, I had every faith you would do it. I notice you only live up the road from me might call upon you when mine needs changing. Well done. Mike.

Great reading. Mike.

Many thanks. Regards Mike.

My son always says that they are the most comfortable seats he has ever sat in and from him that is high praise indeed. Mike.

After what you told us last night I am not surprised. I would now not hesitate contacting the police and at least hopefully saving someone else any grief with this idiot, next time the accident he has may not be so minor. You may well find this link to the Government set up Motor insurance beaureu which is there for you to use specifically for people such as yourself who have been hit by an uninsured driver. https://www.gov.uk/compensation-victim-uninsured-driver Good luck Mike.

Does Gold membership apply in this section? Many thanks Regards Mike

Your responsibility on details is that you get the persons Registration number, an address would be useful but the Registration number is the all important one after that get as, many other pieces of info from the 3rd party you can. I ask for proof of identity as well but in the two accidents, always make sure your insurance company has any contact info on witnesses. I am sorry that this is all ready sounding messy. Threaten him with the police and if you haven't heard anything in 24 hrs go to your Police station and report him. Mike.

You may want to check your spelling Mike, unless Brendan has had the op! Many thanks Phil I have turned him back into a man. I am quicker and cheaper than anyone in Harley Street. Many happy clients. Mike.

Well done to your son. Hows about Ford Focus especially the estate version. My wife has one and as long as it is serviced regularly seems to go on forever and plenty of load space Mike.

Hi Brendan Haven't you got a tyre place near you that will take the tyres off and give the inside rims a really good clean? Mike.

Same as me £80 earlier this year. Mike.

If they do write it off you can always buy it back off them for a nominal amount of money, probably a couple of hundred quid and then you can repair the car yourself and have her back on the road in no time. The insurance company will then register your car with DVLA as a CAT D but then if like the rest of us intend to keep it until your dying day that doesn't need to be a problem. Mike.

Sorry to hear of this. If hes got insurance and you have details of this then contact his insurance and let them know you are going to be making a Non fault claim against their insured. Contact your insurance company and let them know you are making a Non fault claim against the other parties insurance Co. Any witnesses you have let the insurance Co know about them. Its up to you if you want your insurance company to handle it. To keep your NCB your insurance Co will want to see they have paid your claim in full including any excess you have on your policy. After you have done that things will start to move under their own steam and all you need to do is keep an eye on it and give them a nudge when you think things have slowed down. As a Non Fault accident you are entitled to hire car or money per day while you are sorting your car out or buying another one. Remember this is a Non Fault Accident and because of that you are very unlikely to lose any of your NCB but remember it is a NON CLAIMS BONUS and not a who's to blame bonus. Get the above kicked off and then you will have options which you can decide on. Mike.

It may well be the car came in from a dealer and all the profit is in the car they sold too the last owner of the Lexus. Mike.

WeBuyAnycar offer £3275............... That's not actually what they will pay you, when it comes down the them giving you £3275, that figure just bait. You agree to that offer then when you take the car to where Webuyanycar will take the car from you and give you your money, suddenly your car haqs got so many faults you wont even recognise your own car, you will be lucky to get £1000 for it. Don't fall for their advertising rubbish, life just aint that easy. Mike.

What you have on there are the only ones that look really good on the car with the exception of the 430 ones.

Hello doctor Steve, I am emailing you as I have a friend who has a rather embarrassing problem in an embarrassing place............... One to leave alone lets hope its not an LOC member that gets stuck with it. Mike.

What is the argument for not using just side lights/dipped headlights and why do you feel you need to have daytime running lights as you call them? Mike.

I am hoping that as a Lexus owner which shows you have good taste you will only be using the Fog Lights when its Foggy and not join the rest of the brainless tasteless and dangerous idiots that drive around with them on all day long even when the sun is shining and on clear nights when they are even more dangerous. Mike.
