I have actually had 4/5 honda's and they have been great cars although both my accords driveshaft failed and that was an expensive repair. I have noticed that a lot or maybe even most people tend to stick to the same brand forever once they are happy. Why change! If it ain't broke, don't fox it.

Jacaranda are a sight to behold. First saw them in Sydney. Then a few days ago in Estepona.

I am leaning towards Cadiz.... 2.5 hour drive vs 1 hour drive might tip the balance!

Anthony hi again ......... did you get the front exhaust leak issues sorted that they mentioned ? When I had mine done on my Mk3 the exhaust fabricators built anew coz there was zero availabilty of the OEM part anymore Best wishes Malc

….thought ! vehicle registered in 09 / 2000 - could be fitted in transition to replacement LS 430 - their first reg’s were on an X plate ! maybe, a Lexus LS 430 owner could help ? anthony

I have confirmed the RR Racing tune now fitted to my car removes the Japanese speed limiter which is nice, need to work out how to remove the cruise limiter.

….no, Chris - I have that Lexus option already installed ! bright banded yellow and black handle over driver’s headrest, in emergency - sharp pull forward, the canopy disappear’s in the slipstream and seat and driver are rocketed, literally, vertically upward’s 200 metre’s at 100 mph complete with drink’s holder - parachute deploy’s immediately on descent ! front passenger has one too - say’s Martin Baker on the headrest’s. 😳

Hello everyone, I have a Lexus RX450h, coming up with Climate control system erra contract your dealer. none of the buttons for heating, fan, ac, rear screen , door mirror heater not working. All radio/ sat nav work perfectly everything in car works no issue. I have tried a diagnostic to see any codes stored, it is showing code: I already tried another HVACCM and tried another Radio to see if the heater button have any issue but nothing made any difference. I wondered if anyone had this issue, please anyone can help.

My wife & I spent 5 days in Cadiz in late May several years ago. The jacamuda trees were in flower & a terrific sight. We loved our stay. I recommend you visit Le Caleta beach used in 007's Die another day film. Great for coastal walks.

Ejector seat. it should have DO NOT PRESS in big red letters.

….hi - guy’s ! need some help please ! could a Lexus LS 400 year 2000 expert tell me what this press button switch actually activate’s ? have owned car for nearly 3 year’s - never found out what it doe’s ! no mention in Owner’s Handbook. driver’s door sound’s a bong every time it is opened - no effect using this button ! button positioned just to the right of the bonnet release lever under offside dash. all suggestion’s welcome - thank you. anthony

Day trip tomorrow. Can't decide between Gibraltar and Cadiz. Anyone been to either?

Thanks for the extra info. I will take both the switch and/or the mirrors apart and see where the problem lies. I don’t like it when things don’t work, even if not required too often. Also, I fear I may have to let SWMBO drive the car, and she is a good deal shorter than me so will need the mirror U/D adjustment. Still, this could be a good excuse to stop her driving it🤔

Profile not syncing has been the bane of my life and continues to be so. If anyone knows how to fix this permanently please let me know. Regarding problems with the uppercase key have you checked the temporary screen protector has been removed?

@Ahmed. I like what you've done. Can I ask how these mods/upgrades affect your insurance cover/premium?

If it's the "Continue" screen when you switch on just ignore it as it disappears after a few seconds and the Sat Nav screen appears and is normal. If it's some other screen on about profiles or similar then others have had it and it had to be reset at the dealer.

I sat today in one 110GT at South Wales Car Show in Chepstow. Alpine Cardiff branch had one in green. I liked the interior and seating position. 1100kg sounds very interesting 😁 Exterior is like little Aston Martin. I’m going to book a test drive. Seems to be a great car.

Price?

Interesting John & Chris. I know that Octopus have a somewhat cheaper tariff than 'Octopus GO' which I am on and gives me 9p per unit from 0030 to 0430. However, my understanding is that the 7.5p tariff is only available for those cars whose manufacturers have signed up to Octopus' clever smart arrangement, which Lexus have not. Chris, I also export excess solar, but am paid 70.71p per Kwh. We were lucky enough to get on original 'feed-in' tariff.

NX450H+ has decided the profile cannot syncs, try to log on but upper case button on screen not highlighted. This is the 2nd time this has happened. Last time I had to change password!

Hi everyone, I'm Chris and I am a new member with a 2023 UX250h which I have had for about 6 weeks now. It is a world away from my previous car which was a BMW 330 diesel coupe which I had for 17 years and did 157,000 miles on the clock. The UXis so smooth and comfortable compared with the BMW and I am really enjoying it. I'm still working my way through the complexities of the infotainment system but there is one thing that is really irritating me. This is the blue tick box screen that appears when you switch everything on asking me to confirm something which I haven't bothered to read. Is there a way of permanently removing this irritation?

That YouTube video, complete with clicking relays, looks like classic symptoms of a low battery voltage. If you have a multimeter, check the voltage at the battery both with the car off and when you're trying to start it. Anything much below 12V and you'll have issues. If you've managed to get it fully charged from an external source (mains charger like a CTEK etc) and you're still having difficulty, and the battery voltage won't stay above 12V for more than a couple of days, you've either got a parasitic drain on the battery, or the battery is kaput. If it's the battery, Tayna now do one which looks an exact replacement for the MK4 GS450h

My Tesco gold quote is £1042, NFU £1245, we are certainly being stung because of the thieving tow rags, good luck Ian, be interested to know the Chris Knott results? One Call insurance seem competitive, but again all Lloyds backed policies I suspect?
