Check out DetailedOnline. No nonsense detailing products.

Meguiars products are decent, but you pay for the marketing more than anything else. Same with autoglym

Ive actually somehow managed to move nearly all my products over to them because they work, theyre cheap, provide free delivery and to me, theyre also local

Thanks will check it out 🙂

Hi Tariq. Thanks. Just had a look and recognise the place but when I use to deliver to fruit and veg places on the same road I passed that car wash place almost daily. I assume its got new owners now who are auto glym accredited. Let us know how you get on when you go.

Sure will update the thread. Probably be in July when I get some holidays. There mini valet seems good value 12 Autoglym products used for £22!

On a side note in my profile picture is when I was in Monaco next to a mazerati MC12 bet the heart rate would race in that thing! lol

I've got a fitbit need to charge the Battery. As an experiment would be interesting to wear it for a week and track my average heart rate when driving the LS! 🙂 

Hi Vlad, 
It's on Stockport road in Manchester.

Not sure I'm allowed to put details in this thread have sent you a DM

Hi everyone, 

Had Lexus before. Do you guys find driving your car makes you more relaxed and calm? 

I'm between in all the cars I've driven I still find Audi drivers to be the overall most obnoxious (fill in the expletive of choice) ! Lol 

🤣🤣

Thanks, 

I always use genuine parts if possible. Oil filters are cheap enough from the dealer. Spoke to Lexus they told me to use toyota 5w30 oil. Toyota main dealer have a special offer on where if you buy 4 you can get 5 litres of oil for just £12.50! 

It's the same oil which goes in the crown xf30 as the engine is the same so seems like a no brainer! 

Spoke to independent mechanic today and he said the same! 👌

I've always used Varta as the volts and cca have always been good. I think the silver dynamic is Vartas premium line 👍

Yeah I noticed Autoglym is quite dusty. I think that's down to my ability though I think it might be technique. At some point gonna try the Autoglym valters in Manchester. They told me for a mini valet it's £22 not too bad as their advertised as using 12 Autoglym products in the valet so using quality stuff 👌

Pretty sure Paul supplies and fits a custom made aftermarket transmission cooler kit.

Yeah Paul's gonna sort it all out for me 🙂

The shark nose still got a punch to them! Never had French/Italian cars before what they like? 

Sorry D5 not d4 for Volvo would be year 08/09

Not talking about really flash/expensive cars. 

These would be my top 5 pick:

1) LS430 - has to be were on a Lexus forum of course! lol 

2) LC4 Landcruiser 

3) BMW e34 535i (auto)

4) BMW e63 m6 (manual) 

5) Volvo XC70 D4/T6 Or Volvo s80 V8 awd 

What would you have? 🙂

Meguires are nice products to use. Have you tried dodo juice, poorboys and autogylm? 

In my old Rav4 tried Tesco regular diesel seemed bit sluggish. Went back to regular shell diesel and it seemed to fly! 

Also the label on the back says

API: SL/CF

ACEA: A1/B1,A5/B5 

I spoke to Lexus Bolton couple of weeks ago. They told me that Toyota 5w30 oil would be fine for it. It makes sense as the same engine is in the

Toyota Celsior XF30 and cross referencing with Toyota they said that engine oil is the correct one! 

I'm a big believer in preventative maintenance but expensive 😭😂

As above 🙂

Use meguires think it's the best stuff what about you guys? 

Hi Everyone, 

What oil do you use? The 3uz engine is in the Toyota Celsior xf30 and Toyota told me that uses 5w30 oil. I asked Lexus Bolton and they told me you can use toyota 5w30 engine oil in the 430 (as the engine is the same to my knowledge). 

What oil do you use? 

For petrol I've always used vpower in bigger engine/performance cars I've had. I've heard tesco momentum is supposed to be quite good and you can get clubcard points on them but I've always been hesistent of using supermarket fuel! 

Thanks guys, got booked in with Paul Frost lots of work, cambelt, idlers, tensioners, pulleys, oil cooler, waterpump and coolant 

Thank you everyone 🙂

I chose LS430 as old enough not to have too many electrics but new enough to feel modern. 

Good blend, plus old fashioned solidly built. 

Away for a couple of weeks will get couple of snaps. 

Black on black 🖤

Hi Everyone, 

I'm looking for a Ls430 specialist in Bolton/NW and recommendations? 

Also, where can I get a good oil cooler from who would be able to fit it? 

Many thanks 

Tariq 

Hello everyone, 

I'm Tariq just joined today. 

Looking to collect my LS430 soon. 

Bit about me. I'm 40,married with child. Always been a petrol head. My mum even has a video of me when I was 5 years ols speaking to Santa when he asked what do you want for Christmas I said cars! Lol

Like horror films, actions films, going to cinema, when I get the chance the odd video game, going out to eat. Going to the gym, muay thai, reading and socialising with friends and running my YouTube channel on the side 🙂

I've had loads of cars over the years Bmws (3 series e36,5 e34, 7 e32, 3 e46s), toyotas lots but honestly say Lexus make the best! 

I've joined to learn more about the 430 with like minded individuals. 

Thanks for having me here 🙂👍

Tariq
