Initial P

Lexus Hatfield phoned again the other day to tell me about another used car event 😒 never ending since I got that recall done & I said to the guy the same as above their is nothing in the current range to replace the GS & even the fwd ES interior is a step backwards.

Lexus=Japanese Merc. Just a shame there is nothing really in the same class to replace the GS. My father in law wants to buy a Freelander 2 I keep telling its built in Liverpool (Halewood) but he won't listen !

Toyota's are well built.

I've been called on the phone, sent texts & had letters in the post.

Be prepared to be contacted about lots of used car events once its done 🙃

I had my alternator replaced on my old 57 plate GS300 with a OEM Denso unit & the guy said that the after-market ones were a but hit & miss. I had a issue on my 13 plate 250 GS where the battery terminals were a bit leaky & not easy to clamp on with the negative so wasn't getting the amp draw which affected starting which all got sorted with a new battery. Although I swear the price was about £10 more on the battery once the cold weather kicked in Eurocar parts pure cheek !

Every since getting this done I've been phoned, sent texts & had letters in the post trying to get me to come to used car events ect 😒

This is one of those "wally" moments we have all had in life.

I have this on my GS250 13 plate hardly use it though & have never used cruise.

My insurance went up from £508 to £640 this year with no changes.

Don't you mean with "Ze" Germans nice colour btw makes change from black or silver.

Great service today from Lexus Hatfield the work was carried out by 12pm & I was called to say the car was ready for collection & when I came to collect at 16:30 they had put in 20 litres of free fuel as a thank you from Toyota for any inconvenience. They gave my car the once over & found no faults. As the the loaner car is was great for what it was but made me appreciate my ML sound system when I got my car back. Pretty quick & quiet I'm not sure why cvt gearboxes get so much hate it felt great to me & I could fit in our buggy easy so the mrs liked it too. Was getting about 44mpg. Maybe a GS450H face lift will be on the cards next or even a ES300H.

Dropped my car off this morning & got given a birds car not driving FWD in quite some time (10years+) & it was a bit wet out here & the wheels were slipping under power. Still it was my first ever experience of a hybrid or electric vehicle.

I usually go by tank cruising range myself.
