Help! No power at all

You need to keep your mate onside; a 'tame' mechanic is worth their weight in gold. Buy him a pint, buy him a box of chocolates, whatever is required! 

It is a ten year old car you have bought, so just be prepared for the inevitable. That said, Lexus is probably the best car you can have to run after the manufacturers warranty has run out.

Don"t worry I always look after him, to be honest, he is my best mate, as a foursome (with the wives) we have been on holiday together quite a few times, and we see each other socially, quite a bit, always handy to have around, when I have got a car issue!

Can't beat a foursome. 😉

My boss had his Mercedes C Class Battery go flat yesterday.  He got a jump start and went straight to the nearest Halfords and it took the fitter an hour to change the Battery!!  He said he'd never seen a car where it was so complicated to change the battery 🤣

Apparently loads of stuff had to be removed just to get at it.  Talk about designing a car to make the dealers money!

Sounds about right, I did look at Mercedes, BMW and Audi, before going for the Lexus, you get a lot more for your money, and not as common as the german makes 😀 I am really pleased with my purchase.
