and I wish someone would open the ears and eyes of the Pro Palestinians .......... the poverty and sadness of all in Gaza ........... the apparent starvation and deprivation of all those couple of million souls in Gaza .... we see that every day on the news CONTRASTED with the immense wealth of the bosses of Hamas esconced in their protected Ivory Towers in Qatar .... good 'ol Qatar eh ! must be a delightful country . you can tell, they live like lords especially all that shopping at Harrods The overall boss of Hamas I'm reading is worth about £3 billion, yes billion and his cohorts several, lots of £ billions more ...... wonder how they do that then . wouldn't be amiss to pop some of that loot into helping their impoverished starving millions in Gaza .... maybe ! Wonder why the Pro Palestinians don't insist on that happening . build some new hospitals when all this crap has finished, feed their poor and now homeless .......... Qatari Govt could be doing some more useful practical REAL stuff to help-out I'd have thought ........ no need to take the world's donations off any others . just confiscate the wealth of those that have probably " stolen " it from their People Wot would I know . .... I'm not up to speed with all the Social Media FACTS of life with all this ................ God Bless 'em All eh whichever gods the poor souls believe in Malc

Stephen that’s a great way forward ……. Leave ‘em to it for sure …… the youth ( what age might that be one wonders …. under age 40 maybe 😂 ) and others of today that we’re never going to be at par with I totally avoid Social Media BUT get involved thru my business BUT never directly coz I simply don’t want to understand its ramifications …… and I never get personally involved ….. but it seems to bring profitable sales somehow My sales people understand it, they’re all kids under 40 👍 My personal life needs to be simple and void of complexity ……. hence I’m an ancient Ls400 owner 😂 Leave ‘em to it methinks …… pour another glass please, break out the merlot Malc

Everything has clearly been fine at the MOTs and presumably over 8 years and tyre changes all has been well Well done and maybe quite lucky 😄 Malc

Having a relaxed leisurely 175 mile drive in a Ls400 is just blissful …….. I rarely, thankfully, experience “ normal “ everyday cars discomfort …….. I’d always prefer to drive knowing I’m more than likely to go in my Ls400 Those poor souls having to drive ordinary cars are blessed having a trip in Lexus comfort 😇 Malc

And in China they’ll just be shot and no one dare say owt about it 😰 Malc

and at my school we had a formal Debating Society too . not sure at age teens we were usefully discussing anything, nay debating anything of much consequence I guess 😉 But it brought us up to consider the world in context I guess . oh, and the Headmaster wielded the cane occasionally too . didn't do us any harm I'm sure ............ Malc

did he really ......... . I thought he might have sloped off to Bariloche to join his Nasty Nazi compatriots and died at a good old age ( maybe ) Malc

come come 1997 and 27 years makes 2024 ............. ain't quite there yet ............ sorry i have no idea on your problem . I've sometimes had occasional electric stuff glitches but generally self-healed after a while Someone here might be able to help Steve 2006 above is a font of great knowledge My headlamp bulbs too have often lasted decades . great quality from new I know Good luck Malc

and the Hotel Rip Off scenario with the above is that in France and Germany if the hotel staff get fired then they just poison the Guests Food and the firing is justified ( maybe ) ! 🤩 Malc

But yours has the possibly exceptional wear profile of 220k miles Malc

For the sake of peace of mind and just 7k miles a year going forward I’d be inclined to keep to the status quo Malc

ha ha ha ...... Fortnum and Masons my old lunching spot when I worked in the West End ...... not been back there for years Malc

Stephen ...... alias Wesley, greasy brown overalls and newspaper on the kitchen floor ........ if you're leaving it all until the spring or summer then with your 19 year young limo it might be relevant to just do damn all at all ... and review it at this time, just before Christmas 2024 😇 Nowts gonna happen to deteriorate your car in the meantime for sure ! Malc ps Your Mrs can send me a cheque in the post for 25% of the savings please 🤩

I don't know but you should possibly think about using semi-synthetic now at the engine age and wear ...... someone with greater depth of knowledge and understanding will pop up soon I'm sure Malc

until these past two oil changes I only ever used Wilko semi-synthetic oil for about 120k miles ..... and that was FINE ....... I dare say Mobil or Chevron or Esso whoever made it ! Alas Wilko no more eh ! My indy assured me that at the age and longevity miles of my Ls400 engine the semi-synthetic was most sensible and appropriate It might be that at 220k miles of age and wear your engine oil needs a rethink Malc

but your other posts about the oil grade might be pertinent ! a more robust denser formula might be appropriate at 220k miles now Malc

They would have hopefully researched it at the time to decide on 5/30 some 3 years and 30k miles ago and at its current mileage and it’s running well you say, then I would just continue as is …….. with an annual oil and filter change etc Can’t imagine any of this going forward is particularly scientific whatever 🤔 Malc

my undercarriage is virginal I believe ....... never been touched by human nor other hand ......... nor spray apart from maybe sea-salt spray .. so hope it's not " crusty " like me ! 😇 Malc

try the Aldi Premier Cru instead ! Malc

" the nuts been shafted and lost his bearings " ... you're making a great job of all this ... but the analogies keep a'coming 😂 Well done whatever .... your perseverance astounds ! 👍 Malc

It's driven 107k kms . it's in Dover, just been imported maybe ! Malc

Hopefully not BUT it might be you have a water leak somewhere in the system ........... have you checked the water / coolant levels ? Malc

When can I place my order for my Lexus Ls700 Hydropower ? should I start saving ……@£125k 🤔 Malc

you still cutting peat too ? Malc

clearly overall Superior for you at this time.....😉 . and in earlier years too Malc
