A sup sup sup supper at the Local brings all sorts of amazing thoughts …… last night querying with my buddies at the pub over dinner …… all from 80 down to the youngster of 70 ….. all on private pensions too ……. Why can’t, or indeed it can, pop your brand new car purchase into your Pension Fund ????? get that to buy it 🤔 One of them has just yesterday bought himself a brand new VW EV and another a brand new Jaguar hybrid …. both yesterday ….. and neither had even thought about that possibility or nay ! BUT the WINTER FUEL PAYMENT did hugely concern us coz of the disastrous affect on those poorest OAPs in our Society …… not us for sure thankfully the AGE. UK. Petition now on 537,340 Signatures Malc

AMAZING but how much ££££ 👍 Malc

John hi , Did the last MOT pop up any Advisories ? and your mileage since then ? ……. that might help the analysis 🧐 Malc

You’ve spent more on your exhaust than I’ve ever bought my cars for 🤔😂🤣 Malc

and I now find quite fearsome the prospect of ever having to change from my 1991 or my 1995 Ls400 with, I’m assuming, fairly simple 4ltr V8 technology ……… I can’t really remember too much about pre-Ls400 main car ownership which for me has been continuous for about 28 ( really is that long ) glorious, assorted Lexus Ls400 owning years AND this Longevity I really do now take for granted ……. thankfully 😅 Provided I don’t change it for a new Lexus with incomprehensible ( to me anyway ) challenging technology …….. that's why I have two Ls400’s, just in case one of them misbehaves one day and has to be admonished 😂 Nothing like our aged Lexus ( Ls400s ) for longevity 🤞🤞🤞 Malc

Gray, you're thinking of your new potential Non Dom status for there then .......... you possibly won't need that Warm Heat Allowance when you go there 🙃 Malc

I can relate to this, albeit 2nd..hand ............. whilst I chose my NatWest Bank Mgrs company car, a brilliant and totally trouble free Vauxhall Carlton ( F560HNK ??? )👋 ................my colleague chose that Montego Estate ........... and WOW that was full of woe from day ONE My Vauxhall Carlton 1.8 ltr I kept to just over 200k virtually trouble free miles until well after I was made redundant and had kept ( had to buy, but for peanuts ) the car . and that I took much over Europe too and loaded with kids etc 👍 So that era for UK cars wasn't all bad 😉 Malc

Sad for you ……. the car’s great just the wrong place you’re having to drive ……. whichever car you now buy the roads won’t be changing and you might get very fed up very quickly ……. feeling sad for you ……. maybe just buy an ordinary useable good car that ticks most of your boxes and that you can “ enjoy “ ……. on the roads you’re having to drive I too live in Kent and likewise totally fed up with the continuous road mess-ups …… it’s amazingly frustrating and knowing I too can’t get great V8 performance from my cars …….. but quite frankly that experience hadn’t changed much these past 25 years of Lexus V8 driving ……. apart from getting worse ……. I see not much change for the better ahead Let us know your way forward ….. maybe simply lower your quality journeying expectations Good luck Malc

533,932. Signatures now there’s something seriously afoot methinks 🤔 up over 2k in an hour 👏👏👏 Malc

for comparison maybe 🤔 ……. it’s well documented with the Ls400 forums that using E5 petrol ( usually ) results in better cost value with improved mpg / £ of E5 fuel cost over using normal unleaded ……. let alone pure performance quality continuance and engine management …….. which is usually quite noticeable on the Ls Malc

531,772. Signatures now this is increasing at pace for sure …….. Summats afoot 🤔 Malc

and the “ Toys NX Won “ cost you ……..,, £££ for the changeover ?? Malc

For sure check and monitor the reservoir level 🤞 Or could there be some prone evaporation over the years ? I have experienced this over the decades and never noticed even any perception of a leak 🤔 Malc

Dribbling and farting and pooing your pants then …….. 😄

Update seems to be that the Labour Conference has Voted to REINSTATE / RETAIN the WINTER FUEL ALLOWANCE Shame on you Starmer for running away and hiding in New York …….. Malc

Is it really not repairable ? Second opinion from someone who might know ? And possible repair costs …… to compare with buying a good 2nd hand one from a Breaker somewhere …….. ? OR buy yourself another whole car and swap over the lpg as said ? How much would you spend £££££ …… what’s your real budget 🤔 Malc

I am not ,.nor I suspect many of the 11.4 million of the OAPs in the country, Members of the National Trust .... might I respectfully suggest the composure of this thread be continued for the WINTER FUEL ALLOWANCE and it's vagaries please Thank you Malc

What an utter DISGRACE Sir Keir Harmer has fled the country ……. he’s now today in New York doing essential UN politiks What an utter DISGRACE abandoning the Conference and the essential debate on the WINTER FUEL PAYMENT CANCELLATION DISGRACEFUL and utter contempt for our OAPs 530,068.
