Picked up the other half tonight after a shopping trip and she decided to pull down the passenger sun visor to use the illuminated mirror.

No light!

This car is not even 21 years old yet and a bulb has failed.

Sorted it though, used the bulb out of my side as I never do my make up whilst driving anyway :)

I remember the good old days when my first company car (Vaux Cav) needed interior bulbs replaced about every 5 or 6 months, and the day when the horn lead came loose and so on the home one night every time I turned the wheel to the left the horn went off (got some dirty looks in the rush hour).

The problem with the Lexus is that you will never be tell your grand children of the time you spent a wonderful star-lit night stranded on the York moors because of some electrical fault.

Maybe I should go out an buy a Austin Princess to relive those exciting breakdowns.

Or maybe allegro?

My first car was an allegro, mint metallic green, xwa 32t.....my father had xwa 34t.

I also had one of them 1100cc metallic blue with a square steering wheel, differential gears broke up on it!

hhhmmm......... my first Lexus Ls400 J reg Mk1 actually did let me down on the M2 one dreadful wintry night from an electrical glitch .............. had to call the RAC and was recovered by OneTime in their brand new, first day out, recovery truck ............ which broke down with an electrical glitch just before he set off to rescue me..

My alternator blew out from a PAS leak that just got out of control ..... common fault, dripping pas fluid into the alternator in those days.

I'll tell the grandkids that when I'm a lot older and the Ls400 is a distant memory ...... in about 40 years time I guess

Mine was the 1500 LE or HL forget now. , wasn;t a bad car to be honest, and it had a round steering wheel LOL.

I drove my brother's (low mileage) Morris Marina HL to Germany and back once. It didn't let me down so long as I stopped and added half an oil well every hour or so. Strangely though, I never once saw any blue smoke from the exhaust. British engineering at it's finest. No wonder people swapped to Jap cars in those days.
