Enjoy the blast 🙂

I'll believe it when I see it, other than a render/ model mock-up

Nice brakes.....

Beats doing timing belts/ chains

Thanks Geoffers, I appreciate that. Let's hope normality returns soon.

Too long to mention on a forum Tony, but glad I'm on the other side of external events. I'm glad I can walk again and my health is slowly improving due to weight loss (32kg so far). I'm not going to moan about the other stuff as other people are worse off and I'm grateful for what I have. I've lost your number so would call for a catch up.

Thank you Tony. I really want to forget this last year and a half for sure...

If only I could go forward to escape this covid crap. ..

Nice one

Have you fitted any egr blank or egr restrictor to this engine? I tried that and the engine hot hotter so I removed it. If you need an egr valve I have a newish one you can have cheap, so don't chuck money at a new one as they are expensive. The thermostat might be the best route to test first, as it could be partially stuck open. Mind you on this engine by ye time you've got to the thermostat, you might as well put a new (tested) one in.

Excellent I miss my old vectra, best car I had. Loved it for 11 years. Only had to part with it as the electronic turbo actuator failed and couldn't get a replacement less than £800

Lol

Front doorway is daytime, window is night time. It looks like the plant in the front garden has carrots growing on it. Vacuum cleaner/ carpet cleaner power cord appears missing. Blokes chair has missing caster/ wheel. Blokes jeans bottom, one is upturned. Books under a sink..... Easiest error is that the lady of the house has a "smile".....

How about leaving the lids off the containers and letting the petrol from the diesel evaporate/ settle (if safe to leave)? Or could be useful to use in a diesel heater for heating the garage up/ diesel generator etc

Replace "inventive" with "unsafe"...

Beautiful picture . I'm a fan of these.

Beautiful

It might just be a vinyl wrap, that could be reversed.

I've got one of those little hand held electronic testers that calculates the cca/ capacity/ internal resistance etc as well as charge and state of charge. I find it useful. BA101. A link to amazon for reference: https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B071NS74YK/ref=cm_sw_r_wa_apa_i_pQSOEb1YB9GKR I can imagine lexus put that statement in the manual (at the time of manufacturer pre CTek world maybe) to stop people directly connecting older type of chargers that could potentially fry the electronics in the car. The CTEK charger is designed for such situations and I would personally use the "comfort" charger cable if it was easy to connect and charge. If you're cautious why not just disconnect the negative battery lead as per the manual and try the ctek charger on the battery as a first charge, as it would adopt the charging strategy based on its algorithm? This is what I would do, not an advise not from me. Mind you, even disconnecting the negative lead would cause a risk of losing parameters in the ecu/ radio settings etc. Good luck, prevention is cheaper than a failed battery, and I can imagine that once we are allowed to get back in the cars the AA/ RAC will be used a lit and there will be a battery and brake pad shortage from all the seized brakes. Talking of which, I'll remind myself to take my own car around the block....!!
