    Very good. But I would ban most of them and have their cars crushed

    Ah, my days of giving a thought to how a car handles are long gone. My drive in to work doesn't involve the Nurburgring at any point

    Interesting. I might have to have a play. I'm certain I don't have TA enabled because it's quite possibly the most annoying thing ever invented by mankind. But I'd love to disable the aerial for CD etc. Like the OP I don't often (never) listen to the radio and I'm certain that the reason I recently had to replace the original mast is the constant up and down compared to when Ron had it. Further investigation required.

    Hi Andy. You sure the aerial never came up before? Or maybe you never noticed? The aerial on my '02 GS comes up regardless of whether it's radio, CD or cassette.

    These second gen IS are turning my head more and more at the moment and I think the reds do look very well. But then I saw a lovely dark blue one with cream leather the other day and that looked splendid. I'm not picky

    Voted Autoglym even though there are probably "better" polishes out there. I've used loads of different types over the years but AG is reasonably priced, available pretty much everywhere and is what I've been using for the last few years since time became a rather more valuable commodity ie since having kids. That said, my GS has never been cleaner right now. I now seem to have an abundance of time.

    Your limited budget is against you Kal. The 400h is a great car but holds its value extremely well so cheaper ones in decent nick are harder to find. I've never had a 350 but many (like Michael) love theirs. They can be found on a limited budget but they're thirsty and the VED at £570 or just shy of £600 if you pay monthly is

    Honest Life and On My Page are both extremely good albums.

    I can imagine! And interesting that you bought a Lexus. I was aware of Ralph Nader and the work he did for car safety but I'd never heard of it referred to as a Nader pin. I also ended up reading about the Tort Museum which was interesting and also the real story of that very popular meme, the woman who sued McDonalds after she spilled coffee in her lap.

    I've got an 18 year old £500 Lexus that passed its MOT yesterday with no prep. How about that?

    Disappeared down a little Wikipedia Ralph Nader rabbit hole then Paul

    No video of the album version I'm afraid.

    We will come out of this. Unfortunately 2 stone heavier and with pickled livers

    They're the ones with the push button centre aren't they? Bought a job lot ages ago when I had the IS and RX. Something like this or this.

    Not sure there is a warning on the 400h. Never had a bulb blow when I had mine. But I did put whiter bulbs in and iirc the bulbs are easy enough to get to. Check your handbook. One of the things I find with Lexus generally is that someone has actually thought about maintenance.
  17. rich1068
    Not sure. I think I spotted a stone stuck in the tyre tread on that Beetle.

    Might just be the feet need adjusting. Make sure it's properly level and planted.

    They also use Sean at Xavier Motors round the corner for all their non insurance/warranty work. Worth keeping in mind if you're local. http://www.smitheyclose.co.uk/Xavier/?LMCL=VeuvNP

    Good stuff. I repaired our dishwasher a couple of weeks ago. That was one of the pumps. Local repair place said "12 years old? It's had its life. Get a new one" Not on your nellie. Originally full of mucky water and a couple of false starts that meant I had to get the machine empty using a length of hose and a bucket...

    Similar week but I've actually been at work. All the phone calls have been bad news and to keep my mind off the possible collapse of my business I've been cleaning the car. Washed, clayed, polished, the lot. Next week I'm changing the gear box oil even though I said I never would!

    Bugger. Seemed such a long way away when I posted this.

    You're going to have to work on your conspiracy theories Herbs. That one's rubbish.
  24. rich1068
    Any theories on 9/11 while we're here?

    Thank goodness there are people on car forums willing to judge without knowing me, my family or my personal/business circumstances </sarcasm>
