  1. Steve, Recently had a bump taken out of my dearest Lex by a garage. I think they put a new skin on the door. When I collected it, they said the electric window had the same issue as yours, i.e., going up but coming back down automatically. They had to take it to Lexus to get the elec window reset. Some type of sensor??
  2. Kremmen, 34-35 Mpg???, are you being towed? I only manage to scrape the mid - late twenties, the best I have done is 400 miles on a tank which entailed mostly motorway miles. Whats your secret? I did see Top Gear a month or so ago and Mr Clarkson managed to do London - Scotland return (800 miles) on 1 tank of fuel in a A6 TDI - incredible. He passed on some good tips on saving fuel - thats if you are as tight as a nats chuff and do not want to drive the Lex how it should be driven. I, myself, fall between both categories!
  3. Congrats to the purchase! I too am a recent Lexus convert from an Alfa Romeo 156. I bought mine a month or so ago with Sat Nav. If you have any tips on the Sat Nav, let me know.
  4. I have spent the morning on the sick, oops I mean looking for insurance! The best deals for when you are next looking are Halifax - £442 with NCP Screentrade.co.uk (broker for Churchill) - £480 Tesco - £500 The others - Bell direct, Elephant, Admiral, Norwich U were outrageous! Any other companies anyone would recommend?? Above are for 32yr male, 6 yrs NC IS200 SE, 04 Reg (£50 extra for an SE rather then the S!!!!)
  5. Fellow LOC Members, Insurance renewal is up this week.... Can you let me know if any of you have scrolled through all the different companies for the best quotes and what are these? I am currently with E-Sure which I have always found v good, but this year after just 1 call, Churchill are ~ £50 cheaper. I've 6 years no claims and looking for the best deal with roadside cover. I'm not a member of the Lexus Gold Club, do they do cheap insurance packages and also what are the other benefits? Very much appreciated
  6. Lexus friends, I need some advice from anyone who has had the mis-fortune.... A clapped out Ford Mondeo yesterday drove into the side of my previous lex, I was stationary & he thought he could get through a space & scraped the side of the lex. I got out fuming, but he told me to go forth & urinate & drove off without stopping. I took his plate details, lucky had a witness & reported this to the police. The car is registered & they are "slowly" following this up. What can I do apart from find the guy & give him a good pasting???
  7. What are you looking to pay? Reason I ask, I have a 200 SE, 53 plate with Sat Nav, 3500 miles, showroom condition etc etc. I have a new job so may not be able to get car allowance instead of co car. Perish the thought, but may have to sell the loved Lex and get a co car.
  8. The car was orinally sold new from Pinewood Toyota in London so it should be 100% OK. I am told the car is from Belguim and is UK spec, although the log book and HPI check that I did make no statement that the car is a parallel import so do I have to state this when I sell on it????? (perish the thought!) The VIN / Reg is not registered with Lexus UK so I have been told by Lexus Leeds that I need to register it. ???????????????? I think Lexus Leeds are being a bit ****y as they have the same car with the same extra's on their forecourt for 3K more than I paid for mine. Anybody else had this problem with UK Lexus dealers and parallel imports? The car is only 4 months old and with 3K on. Is there any problems I should look out for or are these as good and reliable as I have read?
  9. I bought a IS200SE 53 reg a couple of weeks ago - great car, love it more than beer and my wife (well almost!) Has anyone elase bought a parallel import and has had to register it in the UK for the full 3 year pan european waranty. How do I go about it? Has any Lexus Lovers out there bought a grey / parallel import and had any isssues?
