LOL i do as well (sump first) but just misread it.

IMO ./….. Tyre fitting companies/ outlets are more than used to TPMS in wheels as “most” brands fit them. Had tyres fitted by Costco & others without a moments thought about TMPS issues. Why would you need to take your car the Lexus to have tyres fitted (?) when its odds on that they will simple take it to a tyre fitting outfit to have that done (at your expense)

Why ?

Estonian ? Ah yes one of the places that many of the UK vehicles that go missing end up in parts (how strange ?)

To my eye I see nothing that needs welding in your pictures. Plenty of rust though so needs a lot of attention (as you know) sooner rather than later and what you propose in your plan will do no harm that’s for sure.

The last bit I should not have written though as it is uncalled for.

Yes I remember that as if it was yesterday! When they opened the doors (as we saw on video) and was later proven that the FBI hands agitators in the crowd to encourage them to go in. Mind you “if” you always read the Beano or Dandy you may not be aware of this ?

Maybe you might like to tell us a little bit more background ?

A good clean you mean (?) yes that thought crossed my mind as soon as I that mess.

Hmmm ? I wonder if those issues reported by some owners having a number of electrical gremlins after having those plates fitted is the reason for this (?) change of action.

Unfortunately my camera did pick it up hence LV said it was there to be avoided, yes I replied had I been driving “at it” from a direct direction then I would certainly been at fault. I was though exiting for the left where the shadow of a person is “and” although my dash cam could see the ramp that silly ******* had left in the road (while his good lady in a wheelchair would only be a few minutes, he said) I could not from my position. In this case a mistake to submit this footage to LV (?) but what pisses me off is that this dismissal of my view was instant ! Been a customer with them since 1948 (yes as long as that) but will now look to deal elsewhere.

What could possible go wrong …………. Walked up the pavement between the blue badge bays to where mine was parked (reversed in as normal) Big VW van thing had nosed in next to me and on my nearside, so not to wrong as plenty of room in the bays so into my drivers seat to get ready to leave. Noticed that the van had one of the lifting rear doors and it was in the up position but quite high so again plenty of clearance ? Quick Look left and right checking for cars / people etc and pulled out slowly to my left (all on dash cam) Funny crunching noise and a guy sitting in the rear of the van telling me to stop, **** I thought that door that I had been keeping an eye on was well high ? My wife is disabled he said and will not be long hence I left it out ! I am insured with LV who took his side by saying the it was there to be seen, yes on balance you are right but as I was parked alongside and turning left I could not see it & does he not have a duty of care not to leave this home made ramp like that damn near half way across the road ? Sorry Sir but it was clear to see on your dash cam footage, yes but my camera is mounted high up on the nearside not in front of me. This incident (as they term it) even though I have years of this & that , protected this & that cost me £340 as that dy I had renewed my policy and had they known that is how much more it would have cost Still pisses me of now over a month later.

From what I have read over the past few years on a number of platforms is to avoid the CMC companies like the plague. Also read that they are one of the reasons that insurance is so expensive for so many as their extortion on prices has to be paid for …….. by us of course.

Decades ago (and it was as long as that) the Ford Sierra I owned at the time had a “heated” windscreen and worked a treat ! Why (?) are these not fitted to “all” vehicles that are sold in cold climates “by all manufacturers” is beyond me or is it a Patent Issue ?

I am interested Juluan and wonder if I could maybe come along at some stage to see it ? Feel free to PM me.
