  1. It's just a standard run of the mill Battery nothing special hence its the same on the Toyota MR2 ! I ordered mine from my nearest Lexus dealer in Norwich which was same franchise as my local Toyota dealer so asked them to send it down to the local Toyota garage for me, I paid over the phone and when I went to pick it up the guy in the parts department said if you had ordered one for a mr2 it would have been cheaper! When I got home looked at the MR2 and is exact ! I since have had to have one on the MR2 and same part number.

  2. I believe this is the case. I always take mine to roys motor company an independent toyota/Lexus specialist , Ian there told me something on the lines above before . I'm sure he would answer your question over the phone if you gave them a call and asked for Ian 01603 424877 . Based in Norwich so can't be too far from you. Have used them for over 25 years and have been superb .

  3. 12 hours ago, welland said:

    Went for a spin today, and seemed v nice.  Only issue was that we couldn't detect any parking sensor bleeps and the dealer didn't know if the parking sensors were even fitted.   How do they work, and where are the controls? I presume they must have a way to switch the bleeps off?

    Car has 55k miles, Lexus dealer wants £14k.  Seems like top dollar to me, but that is to be expected at a main dealer.

    I think that's a lot for that ,Lexus offered me £6500 for mine 53k 2006 and would have put a couple on top when on forecourt so for 3 years newer and a bit more miles seems a lot.

  4. Yep as above deffo the AFS for headlights, as you turn the steering wheel the lights follow the direction of turn but this can be turned off if required. Spare wheel is lowered under flap in boot but you remove a small round plastic cover to access the bolt to turn .

    mine has done 53k 2006 and I was offered £6500 at Lexus dealer recently so there are some low mile ones out there for not too bad price. 

  5. My biggest bill was for cambelt, water pump , plugs (which are hard to get to well 3 anyway ) full service , brakes freed off, £600 . Had a 12v Battery twice since ownership as these are really small and like said above just provides power to electrics to tell hybrid system to start car. Same Battery on a MR2 roadster only cheaper on the MR2 ! 

    You need to drive one you will be amazed how fast they are and refined .  The RX400h don,t have air suspension unlike the se-l RX300 so nothing to go wrong there. I would look to get a SE-L spec if you can as you get rear DVD screens for the kids as well ! 

  6. Well I took my 2006 RX400h with 53k miles on to my local Lexus dealer the other day to test drive a couple of cars and was offered £6500 for it which as its near mint  thought for a main dealer wasn't too bad an offer. Mine has been ultra reliable with only the odd brake caliper sticking and wheels needing to be refurbed. Just make sure all recalls have been done and allow £60 per wheel if need refurbing.
