  1. middle unit, first on the LHS, thats the GPS connector I think, the module is on top.
  2. removed it due to cost cutting most likely.
  3. A k&n typhoon is totally different than a replaceable filter. The typhoon as I said about a dozen times now has a huge improvement on noise so you can hear the v6 more easily more important throttle response is much better. All in all its like a different car.
  4. in summary I don't think its wise to retrofit ACC,even if you were to somehow get it done, its a critical feature and if you had an accident insurers would probably void your policy anyway.
  5. Rear boot Lip spoiler? you can get some of these already painted and just need the 3M tape (and some bending) to apply.
  6. Its a very good thing to have also, I noticed the CL55 I am getting in a week did not have auto fold mirrors - I mentioned it to the dealer and he sat inside and activated it from the menu, was chuffed to see them fold themselves.
  7. Retrofitting adaptive cruise control I would hazard a guess its going to be arduous task, better of selling what you have a buying something with it standard.
  8. one word is missing here - 'Typhoon'. The guy who spent 15 minutes in my car before he bought it said, that noise......
  9. need to have a hole in your head to get that car, and its not worth 2k.
  10. Well who cares, would you buy a car with black coolant? I wouldn't.
  11. My IS250 sold today at asking price, buyer paid deposit after a test drive. Hope I wont regret this, guess I can always get another Lexus in the future.
  12. 35W is standard, anyone who puts in 55W bulbs is stupid, all you need a decent bulbs. Osrams are as good as any, I never heard of morimoto bulbs. 55W bulbs too would be illegal I would imagine and if you had an accident, good luck.
  13. Will keep you updated on it! I dont think I every bought a car so quickly but my gut instinct was to buy it. 3 owners and all the service book was stamped by MB garages and in the last few year by MB specialists, from looking inside it I could clearly see it was looked after. Rear tyres absolutely gigantic, thankfully they were replaced last October.
  14. for the love of god dont get a diesel, for long trips the petrol is just as good on petrol as the diesel anyway. I would advise you take a drive in both, you will soon make your mind up.
  15. Never said I wouldn't get an auto :p, I had a drive in CL55, seamless gear shifts, incredible torque, shifts are quicker than CL500. Long term review will tell all I guess but it certainly looks every part the 120k car it cost originally.
  16. It would have to be a special car to move onto next. Same engine - Handbuilt M113 5.4L supercharger
  17. Likewise. Its a beautiful car, fine craftsmanship is evident throughout. Will see how it goes. Life too short and all that.
  18. So, I will shortly be the owner of this fine specimen. The Lexus has been fantastic, probably the best car I owned in my long list of motors. Felt like a change and this will certainly up the ante. I dont usually purchase a car so quickly but the seller and the car itself on this occasion ticked all the boxes.
