Hi all! We have been experiencing an issue on site where threads have been missing the latest postings. The platform host Vanilla are working on this issue. A workaround that has been used by some is to navigate back from 1 to 10+ pages to re-sync the thread and this will then show the latest posts. Thanks, Mike.

    Totally. We have had two Lexus 200h for a good few years, serviced annually with about 150KM on it. The only issue with them was the heat shield came down on the exhaust and just needed a wider washer to hold it up.

    Outstanding cars in fairness.

    I have found Toyotas to be reliable. Peugeots not too much. I would recommend Nissan or Kia’s worth looking into they be just as reliable as Toyotas. An Audi, Hyundai or Skoda if looking for something bigger.

    I didn't actually never had any DPF/EGR issues. I removed them as the car was getting a louder exhaust installed. This was part of the performance increase when it was mapped for power.

    The amount of gobshites doing this especially n rural Ireland is annoying. Basic cars with tin can sooted exhausts blowing out filthy smoke with off the shelf maps. It's absolutely rank.

    How this isn't checked for at NCTs is beyond me as its not that difficult to do. What's the point really? No harm getting a nice exhaust but don't go out of your way to make the air around us substantially worse.

    They change them back to standard for the NCT, you never hear "Choooo" from a car being tested

    My old car - http://www.rathgarmotors.ie/viewanad.php?ad_id=3538409

    Petrol, reliable, never a problem with it, never needed to put anything in it besides the occasional oil change.

    (Traded it in, so nothing in it for me)
