My fault for posting from my phone without my glasses on I would edit it but it seems locked.

I appreciate that but how did you attribute those words to me in a quote when I never wrote them?

I never said that ^^^^^ you're misquoting me, its part of LeeG's post.

This is the dash cam.

It has a USB micro port for power on the GPS base and one on the camera to allow you to connect it to a PC to download the video files. I remove the SD cards to copy any files.

You are wrong about dash cameras being 12v. Yes, they connect to a 12v supply as that is what the car provides, but you will most likely find that your accessory plug adapter that came with the camera reduces the voltage down to 5v. There is probably a sticker on it showing the power. For anyone piggybacking off a fuse, I do hope you have not just cut the cable from the cigarette plug and wired it straight in. You will eventually kill your dash cam.

 

 

I have that^^^^. It was called "Eprance" when I bought mine many years ago. Still going strong, it's moved from car to car.

@robbie What are you wanting cleaned, anything in particular?

I've just been looking at second hand prices on the Lexus website, not too bad even with their markup. 

Lexus will just put a "1" in front of the reasonable quote you mentioned.   :)

I've often thought it was an oversight on my 400h that the headlights can't be left on for follow me home when parking.. then go off .. if you find a way to do it, let me know.. do the new ones have it ?

I think Piers is talking about a different issue.

Excellent, keep us posted.

Hi all. Today i removed my egr valve and cleaned it out, it was'nt as bad as i expected after 118,000 miles. Anyway, on start up after refitting, it felt like i had a misfire, but after a few seconds (probably 20 seconds), and a few kicks on the accelerator, it was running fine. Took it out for a quick blast up the local bypass (80 most of the way), it felt very good and sounded sweet. Just posting to see if there is anything i should be looking out foras this is the first time i have done this. Thanks for any replies. Chris.

A speeding fine through the letterbox.   ;)

..... a grey Lexus NX on the M62 eastbound turning off at the M1 junction at about 09:30 Sunday 26/2/2017.

You were in the wrong lane to exit the motorway. You were again in the wrong left hand lane for M1 southbound when you wanted to go right, this required you to cut me up while I was in the middle and correct lane for the M1 northbound.

You then swerved into the right hand lane when, if you knew the area, you would know this merges into one lane, my lane on the slip road onto the M1.

If you recognise yourself pleas enrol for driving lessons where they will encourage you to read the rules of the road. You are an idiot. Reading the Highway Code would probably make no difference to your idiot status.

If I had been in a white car with blue flashing lights I would have pulled you over and we would have had a good long talk which would have cost you money.

I had two two small grandchildren in the car and a wife who was not impressed by your driving.

A.  You said - "If the body shop make a mess, you don't pay for the job and you make them put it right at their cost, not yours". That statement implies you haven't paid for the job at all. 

B. Still doesn't mean anything - the same guy who worked on their car might have left, or someone else could be working on it. They might even be having a bad day and screw up or think "ahh that'll do". There's a reason I say this and its because everyday I get told "Oh no, he doesn't have any allergies". Check the record and hey ho, allergic to penicillin

Put the shovel down and walk away from the hole.

A. You still have to pay once - otherwise its counted as fraud as they've provided a service you haven't paid for.

B. Personal recommendations are subjective - would you take antibiotics for a 3 day cough if a lay person recommended it?

A...No it's not.

B....Silly Billy.

ISLE OF SHEPPEY: What's the IOS got to do with anything, he said he drove the car from his home to the IOS and back home  The cars is based in Silverstone, Northamptonshire isn't it?

OWNERS: The add says 4 owners plus the seller.

Pay attention folks.

It is speed camera, loads of threads about it.

Approaching McDonalds?

Handbook advises a damp cloth moistened with 5% wool detergent in water. Wipe clean with another damp cloth and clean water.

Automotive leather is coated so conditioners are pointless and can make the surface sticky and attract dirt and grit.

A water based proprietary cleaner such as Dr. Leather wipes are a convenient, if slightly expensive, alternative. Also leaves a pleasant (subjective) aroma of new leather.

That was a wasted post my friend, everybody thinks they need to apply some super duper cream cleaner and conditioner every month.

I'm with you, warm water, cloth with a dash of stardrops every few months just to get rid of the grime

Some cheap leather wipes to give it a satin sheen when dry.

Service and brake check due March/April, if we get some mild weather after I've got my garden in order I may tackle both early.

And for christs sake double, triple and quadruple check everything as you reassemble, clean everything as you disassemble and if you need take photos as you go along to refer to.

You can also refer to the other wheel assembly.

Good luck.

No issues, just an oily patch on your pipe work.

Some breather pipes have a one way valve so the hot gas goes into the intake, and the metered air goes where it's supposed to, into the throttle body, no carbs. ;)

With your loose pipe the metered air may have been escaping causing issues with fuel metering.

After the fix the car will have sorted itself out.

A "misprint" of what?    :)

I thought they were made of a special alloy discovered by NASA when they were excavating in the Nevada desert. No?

Whats Neil n..?

No garage shiny queen here neither.

The finest beast ever made that never really flew.
