Thanks, Paul. I 3D printed a Go-Pro camera mount to stick to the wheel arch... ... It Verks! Lexus DRS 1.mov

Thank you guys. Also that is a beautiful car superatticman. I see from the service history that the last owner (1 previous owner) did all services from Lexus with the last one being a 100k/10 year service (When the car was at the 70k miles). I assume this is a major service. My intention is to continue doing main dealer services. Do I just do 10 year / major services from now on out (next one at 80k?) or alternate between intermediate and major services at the main dealer every year / 10,000 miles? Fuel economy wise I live in the city and have not done a lot of highway miles yet but seems to average around 26-30mpg or thereabouts for mostly in town with some dual carriage way driving that I have done in the 1-2 weeks I’ve had it. I will do a proper run of it over the next few weeks and come back with an update. How much should I expect on average mileage wise? Overall seriously impressed with the refinement of this car and comfort. I have driven a Honda Civic in the past as well as a Ford Explorer (Dubai) so safe to say this is the first car of its kind in the UK and so far it feels so good to drive and handles impressively.

I’d confuse myself …… at least with the inbuilt obsolescence of the redundant satnav screen ……. outmoded and outdated and me trying to get it to work better than my iPhone maps stuff which is always uptodate and spot on …… probably 🤔 nope, I think I’ll pass on the opportunity Thanks all the same 😂 Malc

Excellent news…not the lemon you first thought then ! 👏🏻👏🏻

Excellent. Well done 👍 Malc

Lexigirl day out at Wyredale Park and Lake. With brunch at The Barn at Scorton. Extremely beautiful place.

Nick. That’s exactly how I do the adjustments. As no one can say what the correct value is, I just aim for 46cm ish. If it looks ok I go with that.

Colin.. It was on Amazon only last Week when i ordered it on special offer for £19.98 I am Over the moon with how simple and Effective it is.. The app is a Breeze to Navigate and the information it gives is impressive..Give them a Ring and they will tell you all about it Colin.....

Passed the MOT this morning. No advisories 😊

Offers anyone?

When I bought my E4, I was already 'comfortable' with the size (or lack of it) of the UX boot space! So AWD didn't make much of a difference to my decision. It wasn't that expensive as an option and is a nice to have, I think. For anything other than weekly food shopping or 2 weekend cases etc, the rear seats have to come down anyway. The UX is not really a family car, but it's great for us as a couple. I can still get 2 grandkids 6 and 8 year-olds in the back with their car seats on school pick-up duty once a week - but I wouldn't want to do it every day! As for AWD performance, I can't say I've noticed it so far - but then we don't (or at least haven't had) a winter like in Sweden - yet! Regarding mpg, it's all going to be down to how you drive it.

My multi-car renewal quote from LV has just gone up by 40%... 😞 The UX250h element went up by +80% compared to +22% for each of the other 2 cars. Nothing had changed - no claims, no convictions; just no claims bonus increased by a year and cars all a year older... So I thought I'd shop around with multi-car providers I'd used before. Admiral wanted +52% more than LV!! Aviva wouldn't cover... despite emailing me and inviting me to get a quote! We need these security upgrades - and insurers need to know they are fitted!

Congrats! Looks just like mine 😀

Maybe useful info here on things you can try: https://www.howtogeek.com/902632/format-usb-flash-drive-to-fat32-windows/

IS200 2003 in blue which has been my pride and joy since 2010. Good runner, with 4 new tyres. Body work is reasonable with one small dent in back bumper (been quoted £75 to push out). Done 171,000 miles and serviced every year until recently. Enquiries to broadbent385@aol.com Based in Ipswich MOT due mid May 2024. Looking for £900. First to see will buy. Buyer to pickup.

Ronnie thanks for the heads up. Is this device 2G only? The DB2 on Amazon appears to be £34.99 ?

The 2011 Cat S which was 15.9k yesterday is now at 13.9k , which makes me regret buying my 08 😭😭😭

I was only given a complete key and told the rest will come as a recall. No second blade. Will speak to the dealer and go from there. So it looks like my local dealer was correct.

Go on, you know you want to Malc. You deserve it, treat yourself.

🙃 Autoafraider has a Mk4 at £1750 with 111k miles ...... who'd have thought it eh ! Maybe i should complete the hattrick and get myself a doer-upper Mk4 now 🤣 Malc

@BigDingus How are you getting on? I've been trying to tackle a similar issue with mine. Here is a big of useful info from another forum if it helps you...

Funny I was about to post more or less the the exact same thing 😄. Need a V8 back in my life and think an ISF is the way to go and looking for one £20k or less. The grey prefacelift for £15k seems well priced. Would be interested to know any info on any of the ones currently for sale on AT.

The RX500h should support Android Auto - however, at this time, it’s not wireless and you need to connect via a usb cable. Note that only one of your usb sockets in the car connects data to your screen (the rest are for charging only), so you also need to ensure the right cable is connected to the right usb port.

Sorry I missed out that info! The MARK is '5024', so https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-ls-phase-3-radiator-mark-5024/ 16400-50241 ( 'MARK' 5024 Type B ) looks like the best bet. Thanks everyone for your help!

There are 3 listed but only 2 for a 2006 LS430. If the top of the radiator has '5024' as the 'MARK' (and probably Denso number 422132-3836 on it) then there is only one option which is 16400-50241 ( 'MARK' 5024 Type B ). That's my opinion anyway and I think the 'MARK' on the top of the old radiator is the key, assuming the correct one is fitted to the car in the first place.
