All Activity

This is the main reason I went PHEV. All my local journeys are done on the battery, but the petrol tank is also good for 500 miles or so when I need it. Our second car might be an EV when more affordable options are available, otherwise a small hybrid hatchback and a SUV PHEV seems a sensible balance for now!

Do any of you lads know where the Inertia switch is on my IS250? Thanks

Practically every LS430 suffers with the speaker foam breaking up, there are kits available to repair them though. The amplifiers are also prone to failure but you can get them repaired/rebuilt.

Hoping to take it to the meeting in June.

Lovely example, fabulous colour too - as mentioned above though it's knocking on the door of models, albeit very different, with newer running gear/infotainment so worth seeing if there's any movement in price. Worth checking the tyres are all good, consistent brand with lots of lifespan - although used approved cars are normally good in this respect. Same with the front brakes, I'd expect these to have lots of life left considering it's only done 11k, but worth checking anyway as these are a small fortune due to being almost bespoke sizing on the F-Sport and Premier models. Probably echo the sentiments above with the warranty, very useful as it looks like this model has the triple LED headlights which are very good. However if I've read correctly if a bulb should fail on one of these they cannot be individually replaced and require a new light cluster which is truly eye watering.

I've just put my son on my LV fully comp insurance policy for 21 days at a cost of only £9, unfathomable.

VF54 CVU. Price is going to be negotiable. It won't be top money, as I want to see it go to a good home, but with the money spent, I want to see a sensible return, without being greedy. I hope that makes sense. I'm not desperate to sell, but my other option of a 450h means I have another reasonably quick motor to drive, with marginally better fuel economy.

New issue which is very annoying and frustrating I’ve been quoted by one body shop around £250 I know it’s age related/wear and tear as my cars 2012. The boot rear wing lacquer is starting to peel off.

Hi, Did it sell?

Ok thanks guys

Just bought a little trailer to hook up to my SC 430. Coffin goes on the trailer and the SC is the hearse pulling it. Still looking for a cemetery that will do the extra large plot so it can be driven straight down into the hole and buried with me. Think I understand what the Pharoahs were trying to do ! 😉

Hi All, I have a a 2017 LC500h. I am looking at various Android Auto upgrades, has anyone here actually installed one?

Still not got this issue resolved. As you can tell by the time difference from original post. I have been busy doing less complicated things. Like circum navigating the globe with a piece of papper a pencil and a pushbike, working out the tragectories, fuel payloads and thrust I need to buuild my own rocket and place my own satelite in geo-stationary orbit before Elon fills all the space. Much simpler than getting this USB recognised Anyway, I tried several USBs all formatted in FAT32 and none of them registered. Regarding my VIN not recognised, I'm guessing it's because the UK is no longer in the EU. Hence toyota.eu will no longer have UK data.

No & no. The app doesn’t meet the requirements of a tracker for insurance purposes - it can be disabled easily if someone gets into your vehicle. Many insurers don’t even reduce premiums for thatcham rated trackers. use of a steering lock is sometimes a condition of insurance, rather than a way to reduce premium.

John, I've got the same problem and I'm wondering what is the part no 628821480 costing £111.66? I can't find it on google Mike

It’s an intervention from Lexus you need! https://mag.lexus.co.uk/lexus-uk-statement-on-vehicle-theft/?fbclid=IwAR2u1DC_0mAo4_kSpK_1FLViLNyHJq0nAKctwfXCMxQi1CwuNiGBA10yY0w_aem_ATXzc0mSafM1xX72JZyfSo-7KpoTKXtkPQjmf6ToRhjQ_4GsDaGMH6Nf5ACoFWEW2pE Lexus were the most stolen car brand (as a percentage of vehicles on the road) in 2023. Lots of insurers thus refusing to cover any Lexus vehicle at all, or, charging a small fortune…

Hi Jeff and welcome to the LOC. You mention a remap and intake manifold done ( could you elaborate on the latter as to what was actually done?) Has the EGR valve ever been checked/cleaned/replaced?

Regn no. would be good too 😄 oh, and price Malc

I was surprised that the panoramic roof was not an option when I ordered but I am happy with the sunroof.

I will let you know if I find somewhere suitable☺️

Plus the Government now receive 20% IPT on the cost ( VAT by any other name) which was gradually increased to this amount over the years!

"that will not fleece ordinary working people " Come on, I didn't take you for a believer in Nirvana ! However, if you ever find such a place be sure to let me know.

No, the insurance companies just want to cheat and rob you. It's obvious innit?

Just wondering... Has anyone managed to get cheaper insurance due to 1) The lexus app being able to track the vehicle location 2) Use of a steering wheel lock

The gov't will not intervene because they don't give a toss about us. It is gradually dawning on me that I should leave the country ( after 20 yrs in France one gets a better perspective on different gov'ts ). I just read today that Labour intend to tax us even more now that they are confident in winning they don't need to hide the bad news anymore. The only choice is to get out and live in a country that will not fleece ordinary working people - Maybe Portugal? Must do some research before we leave.
