  1. Well who ever this plonker is, is a right muppet. This car was sold at auction (as you can see in the background and the sticker on the car), I was there when it sold for 6k. Car was repossessed and sold with a major gearbox fault. I feel sorry for anyone who buys this car :(
  2. ha ha - my eldest is 6 so i have some catching up to do some catching up? Im 17! Hi Omar. Thing is, though, you've got a much snappier CT200 - what I'm suggesting is that it's the LS that's the grandadmobile. : o ) Ive got a LS400 :P Its my dads car but he hasent driven it for about 3 years, so I just drive it now and again, beautiful car.
  3. please do check because I made the same silly mistake, it wasent even a big incline, just slightly and i cannot believe it made such a big difference.
  4. Really good to hear about this, however it probably wont affect Lexus and Toyota owners, most cars are £0.00 tax.
  5. ha ha - my eldest is 6 so i have some catching up to do some catching up? Im 17!
  6. not being funny but was the car at a level position. Yesterday i started panicking because my merc had looked as it had drunk 3/4 quarters of oil in just 3k miles (2 months) which got me ****ting my pants. Only did I realize it was at a slight angle, when I checked on a even level, the oil was perfect, just below 'full'. It makes a huge difference.
  7. Guys do NOT REPLY BACK TO THESE GUYS. They are the biggest hackers on the internet! I buy and sell cars and always get texts like this, they will pay through paypal, western union or some other payment method. These are all scammers and will take your money, The car does NOT exist, they will not use a telephone number (as you can see he put someone elses number, fake number) and will never let you view the car. My first time selling someone did this to me and said he is abroad and is with the navy, bla bla bla and that he cant see the car because he's always at sea but somehow has internet connection in the middle of the ocean and says he can send me money and says he will arrange a transporter to pick up car. They have so many excuses just dont reply because 1 idiot hacked my email account after I told him to **** off !!! Dont respond to email, never ever.
  8. Just purchased a car from BCA and its come from WBAC since some plonker left a sheet under the seat which says it sold for £1400, yet I purchased for £900, doesent make sense? On WBAC price right now if I sell to them is just short of £1200???? Lol something isent right...... New WBAC opened near my house, BCA loving it, taking about 15 cars per day from there!!
  9. I get 20-25 MPG in my 1.8 Mercedes 2012 :( You guys getting 30 MPG in a 4.0 car and your still unhappy?! :whistling:
  10. I had same problem on a Corolla which I had parked up for 4 years. I kept charging battery and thought it was my battery but in my case it was the alternator. Always check using a multi-meter.
  11. IS300H a old mans car? More like a young mans car to me!
  12. All emergency services vehicles are leased out. After about 3 years they go into auction. The emergency services vehicles are the worst vehicles to purchase, always trashed out, parts broken. You can pick up a 2010 Skoda Octavia with about 80k miles as a police car for £400 but dont expect it to make it home.
  13. Looks like the LS400's ugly long lost brother.
  14. Im 16 and I wrote about 3 cars for that survey...
  15. Keep it on, it prevents any parts from being damaged underneath. Also living in the UK they salt the roads, that cover will prevent any parts from underneath from rusting too.
  16. I had many on my car. I left it for 2 months and it turned to rust, once it did it was just trouble!!! Buy touch up paint and touch it up your self, cheap paint from main dealer is £8.
  17. The seller sounds like a right numpty!!! I mean just look at his negative comments and the reply he gives back to them, just makes me laugh. Worst of all, to me it seems to me as he cannot type, so many grammar mistakes and half his sentences just dont make sense!
  18. Just want to add, your only problem is the engine management light, on Lexus and Toyota's it triggers the VSC and traction control. It just makes it much more scarier but in real terms its very likely to be a O2 sensor and not worrying. Also dont go Lexus, they will charge you £70 + for just diagnostics!!!
  19. Hi mate, best you invest in a OB2 code reader. my family had a Golf 2 years ago which just loved throwing up engine management light codes, about 3 times a year was a must for it to do so, only had 50k miles, tatty car. Anyway, had the car for 3 year, had 9 diagnostics done within that time. Each diagnostic cost us £40 (me being too young back then and not knowing anything about cars we paid), total £360 wasted. Then when I sold the car, literally 1 month later I thought of buying and selling cars, got my first car to sell and engine management light was on. I dident wanna spend cash on it so looked for alternative. Went on Ebay and brought this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/like/300964943421?limghlpsr=true&hlpv=2&ops=true&viphx=1&hlpht=true&lpid=108&chn=ps&device=c&adtype=pla&crdt=0&ff3=1&ff11=ICEP3.0.0-L&ff12=67&ff13=80&ff14=108 costs £12 and does the same job!!! I was literally kicking my self after finding this out. Since then Ive used it on about 15 cars engine management light clearing and reading codes, works like a charm, reliable and most importantly saves you cash! I even lend it out to people £15 and they can do unlimited checks (im 16 so nice little weekend earning ). Good luck and dont let dealers fob you off! Dealers try to rob me and my mum when we go to the dealers, like ''oh your this needs changing, and that needs changing''. I just end up getting really cocky and answer them back and question them about the work into such extent detail when they start to stutter cose they dunno what their talking about, they get the message.
  20. What the..............................? 12 months?
  21. Sounds stupid but might wanna clean the inside of the port, yours is probably filled with 18 years of crud.
  22. Nice job! Lovely weather down here in London today! Not sure what the tempreture was but felt like 22 degrees :D
  23. I clayed my mums car few months back. Its a white Toyota and if you look closely on the boot you could see black dots and golden(? i dont know what this golden stuff was) which were impossible to remove by rubbing on it. I used claybar and it all came off!!! Only to come back 1 month later lol. Good stuff it is, cost me £10 for 1 bar, i cut the bar into 3 bits for 3 different times of use. Bad thing is that I kinda left a light scratch on the boot but it was virtually impossible to see unless you stuck your face right up against the boot.
  24. Oh, that explains, we went France 2012 had to take the kit with us. Good thing they got rid of it, waste of money, especially when you dont drink!!!
