    Ooh. Love the saddle colour seats. The car looks good as well

    Well I finally sourced another complete glovebox from Facebook marketplace for £60 delivered and it arrived today so I'll be fitting that when I get the car back from paint.

    Well that's a great relief I'm sure. Sometimes it's a cheap fix and actually finding the cause is the biggest problem. 👍

    Well I decided to go with stanwithaplan and buy the halfords car cover option as my driveway is tarmac and I don't know what is underneath it so bolting anything down may not be possible anyway. Size XL and 10% discount ended yesterday so I payed £60. When I get the car back from paint I'll make sure it's completely dry if it has rained and regularly air it when we get a dry day to try to avoid condensation. Thanks for all the helpful information guys.

    Thanks for the suggestions guys. I had also considered one of those types that fold back, you drive up to it and then you pull over the car. A bit like a pram hood but folds right over. I'll have to give it some thought. I may have to get a cover for short term use to begin with and take it off to air once a week on a dry day....whenever that happens!

    It's in for painting at the moment Malc.

    I have reservations about using a cover but having a new repaint I feel I need to do something to try and protect it from the elements and living 5 minutes from Brixham harbour the seagull luftwaffe are a damned nuisance! I'm using a pug 107 as a run around now but it's soooo nice to get back in the lexus for a longer journey. Oh by the way, on my 1st 430 the engine light was on for two and a half years - no change to anything whatsoever. I reckon it lights up to let you know there's a bulb in there. 😆

    As my car is sitting on the drive I noticed some water in my boot as well. Luckily I have a lexus rubber boot protector with a lip all round so the water didn't reach the carpet. My drive is on a slope and I think that because it was facing downhill, so to speak, it couldn't run out round the channels. I turned the car round and that stopped the rain seeping in.

    Thanks Bezzer I'll take a look and have a good look around everywhere.

    Cheers Malc. Sounds really good and as much as I want to protect it I need to consider the cost on top of the repaint. I may well look around for something like that but something a bit more within my budget....and that would be.... Not a lot left now. 😆

    Thanks for the input Messi. I looked at some that said we're breathable but did wonder about a good fit as well.

    Thanks Malc, yes I've plenty of room on my drive and I had considered one of those but not sure of prices yet but I will have a look around.

    Thanks Stan. I have looked at some but was unsure whether the wind would shuffle the cover around a bit and then rub on the paint.

    We are having a full repaint and as the car is now not our daily driver and as it is kept on our driveway we were thinking of using an outside cover to protect it from all the elements. Does anyone use a cover already and might recommend a company or brand that's good.

    Wow that is a big list for such a low mileage car. Really sorry and surprised to see that. If that was mine I'm afraid I'd cut my losses and list it as spairs or repair. Good luck to you.

    Did your dashhcam catch them?

    Removing and replacing a screen is really for a professional, thats IF you can get a new one. Failing that you could try Paul at lexus spares direct to see if he has one and can remove it and ask a screen fitter if they could do the job for you. I doubt there would be any guarantee given on a used screen though. Paul - 07590072646

    Yes that looks like the kiddie. Isn't it just a case of removing the plate, re-siliconing it and bolting back on?
  19. lex - eleven
    I've been trying to find the component and believe it may be a freeze plug which is silicone and bolted on. I'll try sending the pic to the garage tester and see what he says

    Morning all. My car passed it's test today with an advisory of a coolant leak. The tester told me that he doesn't know what the component is and its a little hard to see with the lower covers in place. It's beneath the engine a little way back from the alternator and can only be described as a round disc or plate with a couple of bolts. Unfortunately I don't have a picture but was hoping I might get an answer or suggestion on here. He can't book me in for a couple of weeks so I'll top the rad up with coolant when it needs it until it's done.

    Well done on that find! The 430 is a wonderful car and sublime to drive. You don't really drive the car it just sort of cuddles you home. 😁

    So really if you just keep to your speedo reading you should always be under the speed limit
  23. lex - eleven
    I can't believe the originals were 15's
  24. lex - eleven
    Can't you check your speed against a mobile phone sat nav? There's bound to be a slight difference anyway

    Looks real nice 👌
