    Any buyer's remorse after getting the new 250?

    No remorse here. Made the difficult decision of selling my 06 LC100 that was purring along at 205k miles. I’ll regret it when I’m retired but for now hated to see it not being used. The 250 is still large but drives small and nimble. Is not fast but feels quick. Averaging 22ish mpgs at 6k...

    AC pulley Noise: is it the clutch, or compressor i need to replace?

    I’m having this issue on my 2006. Just got back from the mechanic 15 minutes ago. I was having a noise/whining/when turning on ac or defrost. He diagnosed it is compressor. He said he would let it cool down and take the belt off and check additionally but was 99% it was the compressor.

    AHC noise? Should there be one?

    FWIW - I have a 06 LC with AHC and when its automatically adjusting heights due to weight or whatever there is a slight buzz heard. It adjusts while driving also, especially if passengers in the back or added weight after loading up stuff.

    GROM VLine - Google apps/Android&iPhone integration

    On that screen, scroll down and you should be able to see your phone and click on it to pair. It should then connect to airplay. I believe if you also click, automically start, at the top of the screen after pairing, it will automatically connect going forward.

    Bouncy AHC. Can I check health of system before trying replacing globes?

    Give the flush a little time. The fluid in my 06 had never been changed until i did it this year. The ride I thought was good when i bought it. After flush, the ride was basically the same. After an additional 2 to 3 weeks, the ride that i thought was good, turned into a great ride, much...

    Insurance appraisal

    Like everyone says, don’t settle. To replace its going to cost you 12 to 14k. They will get there, if they don’t, go to your insurance. They are going to salvage it for 6kish and it will only cost them 8k in the end. My 2003 was totaled 3 years ago. I kept sending them classified ads with...

    I was hoping he just called them that and was going to pull out some all terrains, but,.....no luck. A winter tire designed to be run in cold weather climate, i think 40 to 50 degrees and lower, dont quote me on that. Made differently so they would not last to long in my climate or in warm...

    Sounds real similar. This was actually listed at 19k. I took it for a test drive not being familiar with the area and hit a speed bump at a bit of speed and thought well the suspension is in tune. Got back ready to pay him and thought one more look underneath and found it was leaking...

    No rims, so maybe just smoldering, time will tell, so far so good. The only thing apparently never done was a change of AHC fluid, and knocked that out today, the fluid didn’t look to bad and everything was functioning fine. And I’m in Cali.....so not to much snow to worry about except for...
