    They are.... just beautiful. I'm lost for words. Fox fur accents. Oh my.

    Knew you'd like that. And sheepskin seat covers? Oh my! Now wouldn't that be something else?!

    Chris, You know you're resurrecting threads that are years old don't you?

    If you use one of those online dictionaries to look up either "classy" or "tasteful" they direct you to this picture. I can also confirm that I'm now doing airport runs...

    I've used that seller. He can supply you with downloadable drivers and software that should run on a Windows 10 64 bit machine. Make the most of this thread before the mods make it disappear!

    Thank you for your kind words Diff oil is on my list because it's in the service book.

    Brilliant.

    Halfords? Really? I wouldn't ask them for advice or let them touch my car if they were the last place on Earth! One of the brilliant things about Lexus generally is that real thought has gone into these cars and changing a bulb is easy. Put your car details into https://www.autobulbsdirect.co.uk/ and see what comes back. I assume you mean the full beams and when I had my 400h I had good results with Phillips White Vision and OSRAM Nightbreakers. IIRC you could guide a 747 in to land with the Nightbreakers.

    CBF Powder Coating. But whatever price they quote you keep in mind I've never paid more than 200 quid for 4 The first ones I had done are on my IS and still look great 2 years down the line. Agreed.

    I know a good place in Sheffield but that's not really local for you. I've had 4 cars done there with very good results. Two Lexus and two Saab, tyres off, shot blasted, powder coated. Re-reading your recent posts if the pressure is genuinely low it seems more likely you have a slow puncture rather than a badly fitting tyre. If you had the work done in August it would have shown up before now I think.

    This thread is astonishing.
  12. rich1068
    For cars of a certain age it's good practice to get the inside edge of the rim cleaned/roughed up a bit before the tyre is fitted. Probably only have to do it once on each wheel but any fitters worth their salt will do it. Last time I had this issue the fitters just spent 2 minutes on each wheel with an electric grinder and they were fine after that.

    And Superman spec too! I'd have a 200T like a shot.
  14. rich1068
    Yes. And he liked my car too.

    Got stopped by the undercover store detective in M&S today He'd been admiring my GS in the car park

    Oh dear. But if I'm honest it's not as eye wateringly expensive as I thought it would be. I was expecting replacement exhaust money But you could rethink your position on RockAuto. I've never read anything bad about them. Or try Amayama.
  17. rich1068
    Certainly worth a punt I'd say. He's happy to fit stuff you supply. Go on Ian, give us a clue how much a genuine one is

    Had our first proper thick frost last night and I hate scraping the windows and I'm usually not too happy with de-icers either. I quite often just use a bit of cold or lukewarm water to clear the screen but it's messy and then I remember seeing this trick the other day. The video I saw didn't include this particular gentleman but contrary to his comments it really does work. Just flick the wipers rather than allow the screen to freeze again like he did.

    Today while I was doing this... ...this happened
  20. rich1068
    There'll be a 5 yen coin under that lot too.
  21. rich1068
    Wow!

    If you still need it after @johnatg's link PM me your email address.

    Hi Suzie. Can't help with a London specialist I'm afraid but 4 different tyres isn't a major problem (assuming they're all the same size!) but it would annoy me if it was cheap rubber. Can you post a picture of the metal thing above the rear tyres? Not sure what you mean by that.
  24. rich1068
    I've mentioned it more than once and first became aware of it with an email flyer from my local dealer. I assume full Lexus history is required? When I had my RX I was in the unusual situation that when I first bought it (privately) the batteries weren't warranted but then came back under warranty due to the change of policy. But from what I've read the batteries are the least troublesome part of an already very reliable system. I can forward you the most recent flyer if you wish?

    Well blow me down, it did work! Off to parking light three times. Some old codes, cleared them, pleased I'd found it with your help, nothing really different
