Monday 11 Sep about lunctime in Dagenham, Salisbury Road, pulled in, parked up got out on mobile jumped back in and drove off again! On chrome rims last 3 letters of reg were URA

A.J, It seems these rear lights are failing on everyone, i bought a set last September and 2 months ago they decided to give up, i put a thread up about them and there was someone else having the same problem, can't remember his name off the top of my head, on mine it was the passenger side that failed, top 2 rows stopped lighting, i had a fiddle with them but gave up in the end i was really peed off after paying so much money for them, i put them on ebay in the end but didn't get back no way near as much as i paid, i wouldn't go near them again, stick to the late spec rears. Do a search and the thread will come up. Out of interest where did you buy yours from? Just that me and the other member bought ours from the same place so would be interesting to see if we all bought from the same place.

That looks scary! Especially those 2 trucks passing in pic 2!

Insurance seems just like a legality nowadays, i mean how does it protect the motorist it just rips them off and even more so if you claim which is what its meant to be there for in the first place. By the way, whats the deal with how long NCD is valid for if it hasn't been used?

Er, exactly that cos it's not foggy! Should only be used when visibility is reduced to 100m or less, plus its a fixed penalty if your caught! Maybe so but its a bit 'Nova/boy racer' and the 'coolest combo' nowadays is to have blaring xenons!

Thanks for all the info guys, just shopping around for brakes and come across the site but think i will steer clear as seems to be the feedback advice. Interesting Sharkman, thanks. Sorry to hear that Ian, nothing worse than getting ripped off, but at that amount of money is just gutting.

http://www.altezzasportsandprestige.com/Special_Offers.htm Was thinking about the Brembo brake discs seem a good price, has anyone bought anything from here before or know anything about them?

Ok Ian thanks for the info, i will give them another bell tomorrow and have a chat to them. Scarface, sorry to kind of hi-jack your post!

2 bolts on the side of the fogs can access from front or inner arch, undo and pull out fogs.

Do you do any/all Lexus parts?

Thats good to know someone can vouch for them, well it will depend on price between them and Jem Motors for me. Don't know about Scarface?

Hi Scarface, i'm due for my 60k service on my 200 about now and plugs and cambelt etc, got in contact with Westfield and they didn't seem to interested in the business more like i was hassling them, i also contacted JEM who are based in Hendon who seemed to be more in the know and more black and white on prices. Checkout the link to the JEM website, i believe someone on here uses them but can't remember who now. Let us know what you decide and how it goes. http://www.jemservice.co.uk/

Maneesh, i take that statement back!! Gimme that first one in the pic!

Only through this post i found out he died! Shocking! Sad loss indeed. Attacks on humans are a rarity - only one other person is known to have died in Australia from a stingray attack, at St Kilda, Melbourne in 1945. "Stingrays only sting in defence, they're not aggressive animals so the animal must have felt threatened. It didn't sting out of aggression, it stung out of fear" Of all the things he could've been killed by in all the daring things he done, sad, he leaves his poor wife and 2 young children too. R.I.P.

Beautiful car! Love the AMG version in black, reminds me, must play the lottery this week! Lol! Forget about blingin' this motor up, its far too classy for that, would jus ruin it!

Nice one, will keep an eye out for the post then.

Whats happening with these Mr Morse? Would like a set!

Lol! True! But you still see people driving in the dark without lights, but these people would probably still have their lights off even if they had auto lights! Its just a gimmick at the end of the day.

Got peed off with mine and stuck em on ebay! They sold aswel but waiting for the buyer to pay up! Gone back to original late spec rears now so sticking with them and the flashing brake light bulbs. But please let me know how you get on with evil ride when you get some contact from him.

LOL!

Been looking myself, think they're still rather expensive, i'm guessing its going to be around the 13-15k mark?

Some as everyone else, my 2001 has a warning if i leave the lights on and open the door, don't use auto too often as i find its not sensitive enough and doesn't function with the sidelights, hate it when people wait until its pitch black to put lights on!

Truvelo cameras don't flash, it would be illegal if it did as there not allowed to have cameras that flash straight at the front of the car, could you imagine getting one of them super bright flashes on your face, twice!! As for those gatsos if they're in the middle of the road they have to be facing the way your travelling, although saying that there is a few i've come accross that are on the other side of the road facing that flash but i think the sensor jus get triggered you can't be caught by them.

These bulb holders, do they fit straight into the front lights and what lights do they come off the doner car, front, back?

No wories! Tell me about it! I only wanted to put in some LEDs and wished i'd never bothered once i'd started!
