El Cid …….. passing by too maybe 🤣 Malc

Hahaha I’ve had a Mk2 too in times past If it’s sold then they used to say the engine etc was worth a few grand …… nope I’m settled now when I bought this Mk1 having been totally turned off by the impracticality of the Sc430 when someone outta the blue parked up outside and gave me an in depth appraisal of his new to him Sc430 …….. I think I told you all at that time 🤔 No space to store my sandwiches even for a picnic 😄 Malc
-
Aha, the onset of the “ empty” light seems to give me a further range of 100 miles or so Malc

you're not visiting the petrol pumps much then these days in her 😉 Malc

Stuart hi, How’s this working out now ? You're bespoke limo standing up to all the pressure 😄 Malc

Steve, you saw the Costas but missed “ simply the best “ by steering clear of the beautiful built super high quality city of Salamanca …… it really is truly breathtaking in the very best of “ build quality “ once one’s walking inside the city itself Don’t miss it the next time you chase thru Espana 🤔 Malc

Well done. Lots of miles and smiles to come 👍 Malc

My nephews Range Rover new bumper whatever, slight damage really, the insurers agreed for the repairer to use 2nd hand from a Breaker / TheBay rather than wait forever, indeterminate months, for brand new ……. he just wanted his car back on the road ok and useable …… just a month out of action rather than forever …..,, practicalities eh ! Malc
-
I think the “ cause for concern “ element refers to mechanical damage …… yes, any preventative maintenance decreasing risk of breakdown especially in busy traffic is good …… punctures happen too, serpentine belt goes, alternators too …… shame the cambelt condition can’t be checked in situ ……. BUT can it ? Does anyone know how to check this ? Thanks Malc

I’m well up to date on my 95 Mk3 car but the recently bought 91 J reg, now approaching 100k miles, I can’t see from the inherited docs that it’s ever had the change 🤔 At this era Ls400 it’s the non-interference engine and I’m taking some little comfort from that and won’t expect anything to go “ bang “ with catastrophic outcomes Lets see how my budgeting pans out to address this Malc

Funerial attire at any age maybe ……. never want to wear one again but suspect I shall sadly Malc
-
Out of interest ……. what’s the mileage / time years, since the last cambelt etc change on your cars ? I was reading long back that the “ break / bust “ time for a Ls400 cambelt might be 150k miles …….. 10 years / 100k miles in my book but others might have different thoughts and experiences Thanks Malc
-
I’d confuse myself …… at least with the inbuilt obsolescence of the redundant satnav screen ……. outmoded and outdated and me trying to get it to work better than my iPhone maps stuff which is always uptodate and spot on …… probably 🤔 nope, I think I’ll pass on the opportunity Thanks all the same 😂 Malc
-
Excellent. Well done 👍 Malc
-
🙃 Autoafraider has a Mk4 at £1750 with 111k miles ...... who'd have thought it eh ! Maybe i should complete the hattrick and get myself a doer-upper Mk4 now 🤣 Malc
-
I’m thinking I’ve been reading past times here that there may actually be THREE potential options 🤔 and of course only one will do so continue to take great care ! Malc
-
Is this for a pre MOT inspection or the MOT ? good luck whatever Malc
-
I would simply emphasise that the Amayama parts I ordered and had fitted by my Indy are actually proper Toyota Lexus genuine parts Malc
-
4 Paws are always a useful additional tool Malc
-
Looks wonderful too ............ lucky you eh ! Malc
-
Just a little summat I mentioned ……. way back …. 🤣 Malc
-
when I was buying suspension parts for my Ls400 from Amayama some years back they supplied product in Toyota stamped plastic bags ........ and I saved several £'00s over the Lexus/Toyota parts prices from the Main Dealer network Malc
-
on a similar poor life Lexus “ new “ product I used to buy the premium priced quality OEM Toyota Main Dealer stores wiper blades …… they lasted about 4 years , 30/40k miles THEN the last set I bought, brand new wrap packed out of the Stores, barely lasted a 12 month …….. poor shelf life eh 🤔 Always buy “ ordinary “ ones now …… for my 3 cars ! ….. they generally last ok up to their 2nd MOT Malc
-
Ah, I know that feeling well 😇 Malc
-
Just to note the OP hasn't been back once to check the replies ............ in 12 days ! Malc
