  1. Thanks for those details pistonbroke, I'll try to have a closer look tomorrow, hoping it will not be bled to dath till then .... fingers crossed !
  2. F**k ! I meant puddles indeed I tried to pretend english was my mother tongue but my secret has been unveiled haha. *feeling shameful*
  3. Have been driving almost all day long (gently), leak seems to be getting worse, I got 2 small poodles about 1 feet behind front wheel axis 5 minutes after having parked the car...... still I have no signs of overheating (so far) and the level seems acceptable....
  4. Yeah I thought it was high time I raised the flag of my country and measure levels the french way haha.... I'll have a closer look with the engine running and drop a line when I know more
  5. level in the rad seemed ok, couldn't check the expansion because I was lacking light, gonna take the car out and have a look..... I'd say I lost about half a wine-glass.... more or less....... didn't notice any over-heating problem yet
  6. Hi all This might be an easy question but I'm not a mechanic so I'd still need your help and advises. Yesterday when parking my car I noticed a leak of pink-yellow-ish slightly oily liquid.... it is clean and doesn't hardly smell anything..... Power-steering oil maybe ? Be it this or something else, is it safe at last to drive to the garage and is it reasonable to leave it so for a couple of days ? I was supposed to go on holiday tomorrow (not by car ) and it's gonna be very difficult for me to find time to go to mr T..... still I'd need to drive a couple of miles today, what would you all say ? ----------------> I eventually took my morning off to have a closer look, the liquid seems to be engine coolant :/
  7. Autoglass and carglass seem to be the same company, here in France we have carglass..... but they would not just remove the glass and re-fit it because they have a lifetime warranty and only use new parts. Thus I'll have my flawless windscreen removed and replaced by a brand new one + new finishing strip only because it must have been fitted too low after a re-spray......
  8. You're right Ewen, this is what i've been told by the carglass guys, the windsscreen seems to be sitting a little bit too low, preventing the finishing strip from fitting correctly..... Now I have no idea wheather there is a means to re-fit it without having to take the whole windscreen off because it might get broken in the process ang getting one here in France sure will be rather complicated I fear :/
  9. As far as I have witnessed there is no leak, But I didn't (want to) drive the supe under havy rain since the joint is no more...... here are some pictures, I hope they are helpfull...... I'l make a picture of the joint alone asap.....
  10. Hi all Recently I got some problems with the plastic joint around the windshield, it was getting out of its place in the upper middle, above the interior rear view mirror. I went to the local carclass to have it fixed and they told me they could not do anything relyable because there was either a conception fault of the windshield had been badly replaced and was a little bit too low.... Yesterday night on a long highway trip the joint (which I had been told by the carglass guys was actually more a cosmetic thing as it doesn't seem to be involved in waterproofness) got half-torn by the wind, in the middle of the roof, and as it was damaging the paintwork on the roof I had to remove it completely. Now the question is, what do I have to do to get things back on track : - have my "joint" stuck again, properly - get a new joint - have the windshield replaced (in which case I'll need to know if rhd and lhd supras have the same windshield because I'm in france and local Mr T only has lhd parts, and they said lexus, at least, had different lhd and rhd windshields but they couldn't tell me for the supe) - other solution I hope I made it clear, I'll try to attach some pics soon if need be.
  11. Hi all. I'm need to replace the front brakes on my uk tt (pads + discs). Wandering about some webstores I found that the prices were often half cheaper than at my local Mister T but the shipping for those heavy discs just eats the difference away (200-250$ shipping cost). Now there's https://www.horsepowerfreaks.com from where I get the cheapest quote as shipping to france for the whole pack is only 12.49$ (which gives 178£ shipped whereas mister T sells it for 288£). Does someone know if they are trustable or maybe has other hints ?
  12. I made a full tank yesterday night, drove 92miles today (almost only town), fuel gauge is exactly in the middle, and the 2nd half usually drops faster than the first one.....
  13. Imi, I wish they were off but I fear they are not..... after having monitored my tanks and mileage for 4 months, the figures I gave are the ones I actually get, therefore my doubts about something going wrong..... I make a full tank, I drive 220-230 miles, fuel gauge lightens up, 240-245miles I'm at the pump and throw 19gallons in..... there's not that much to calculate
  14. Thanks Hoff, now all I have to do is find what it looks like, where it's located and how to remove it... sould I feel shameful for not knowing already ?
  15. Whereas I got around 20mpg once.... I wonder what these figures would be if I drove like an asshole
  16. I'm way off anyway then... gotta take care of that O2 sensor thing
  17. Hoff, thanks I'll try to find out how to clean and maybe eventuelly change the O2 sesnor, I guess there must be some answers around the forum... Haha Guigsy, is using the cruise control such a bad idea ? It's an UK spec and I almost always tank at night, filled to the brim i can put 19.02gallons in it and tha maths have been done accordingly SteveR, very encouraging thank you Matt H & Guigsy, oops, I meant 80 mph not 180... I live in France not Germany
  18. Hi there..... I know this question has been asked many times but I was wondering..... I've been driving my auto TT as a daily car for about 4months now, recording mileages and fuel tanks, and the figures I get seem somewhat different from what i have read or heard here end there..... Mainly highway : i can sometimes run about 350miles on a full tank (18.4mpg) at the VERY most 380miles (19.9mpg, my absolute best ever, stabilized @ 80mph with cruise controll) but it's more usually 325-350.... (still driving quietly) Town dying....I mean... driving : depending on the traffic, it's more like 250 miles for a full tank (13mpg), the worst having been i80miles (9.4mpg!!! more, if not only traffic jams), still driving gently. Are this figures normal or is there something i should take care of ? PS : my aircon is broken at the moment so I'm even not using it
