My personal experience of Saga is the exact opposite. We also own a Mazda MX5. It is commonplace on these cars to increase the tyre size slightly, to get a greater choice. I told the Saga call-centre about this, she checked and came back to me and said it was not a problem. It's on my insurance that my car has increased tyre size, and there was no mention of an extra charge. As a matter of interest, Saga offered the most competitive premium for our Mazda, but were miles out on the Lexus! Our CT200 is insured with LV, £50+ lower premium than Saga. I hope this helps, Brian.

Really sorry Thar, I can't tell you the cost because it was done under warranty. Brian

We had a rattle from the lower end of the steering column of our 2011 CT200; it was cured by having the lower part of the column replaced. Hope this helps! Brian.

I cannot find a record of where I bought mine from, sorry. However, it looked identical to the one in the photo on the Ebay listing that cruiser Mark posted. But, I think that based on the bit in the listing that says "Flexible and light, allowing for easy fold away and storage" I'd say they are now making them out of thin plastic because mine was anything but flexible and easy to fold! Sorry that I cannot help you. Brian.

And I believe the batteries are more efficient in warmer weather too aren't they?

Hello Joe, and welcome to the forum. I would start off by saying that my advice would be to avoid any that show any signs whatsoever of neglect, and aim for one with a full and verifiable Lexus service history. And don't be too put off by mileage, these cars wear their miles very well indeed. I'd have thought you'd not have to spend £12000 to get a really nice one. Hope this helps, and good luck with your search. Brian.

Try getting a suitably sized torx key, one that'll be tight fit, and bang it in with a hammer. Put plenty of penetrating oil (proper stuff, Plus Gas or similar, not WD40) on it first and leave it soaking overnight in it if you can before you try to undo it. Good luck!! Brian. -
Thank you. I didn't even know they had a power steering warning light! I do hope you get your problems sorted soon.

I'm missing something here and it's probably staring me in the face, but what exactly is the P/S light?

I paid about £34 each including VAT for Osram bulbs with a (I think) 3 year warranty from Andrew Page motor factors. I think they have a number of branches. You can check if the headlamp ECU is faulty by swopping the bulbs over and seeing if the fault moves to the other side too. Beware that there are loads of fake branded bulbs about, plenty on the Internet on that, best to buy from somewhere reputable. HTH, Brian.

Similar with me. I bought mine from an independent dealer I've known for years. I bought my warranty from Lexus Stoke, and because it had been serviced at a Lexus dealership not too long ago they didn't feel a need to inspect it. And they honoured every claim I had without question. Rear o/s central locking fault, two boot lid rams, and both door mirrors complete. We always get superb service, and are treated as if we'd bought a brand new car actually from them.
