GY08GBE but I know the new owner but his private plate on it and I haven't a clue what it is now. If any of you lads are thinking of selling....... don't!!!!! I regret it and wish I still had it.

Put a deposit down on this beauty today. Ive been reading through this and other forums for the past few weeks deciding whether to take the plunge, ive struggled to find any negative opinions from owners and after considering the usual alternatives (C63/M3 and XF-R) it almost seems the sensible choice (If a 5L V8 could ever be classed as sensible!). I'd be interested if anyone on here has any previous knowledge of this car? Few bits of info, 18k via Private seller, CK11OMG, 83k miles, white leather, Full history etc.. To be honest Silver wouldn't have been my first choice but after seeing the car in the flesh it looks really classy, the mileage was also a little bit higher than i would have ideally liked but its in tip top condition and i gather these cars wear miles well anyway, It felt really solid and drove great. It's also got 2 services left on a service pack so it seemed like a pretty decent deal for a later model car. It's going to eventually be a daily driver, replacing both my leased Citroen C1 commuter and my supercharged MX5 weekend car (owned 17 years!) which i never seem to get any time to use. Im hoping it will tick the boxes for me, the noise alone gave me goosebumps, what an engine! Would be great to come to some meets in the future, i should be picking it up in the next few days so ill post up a few new pic's when i do.

Hi folks. Warrington Guy is right, I did own a mesa red one until June last year. I sold it to a guy from Kent. I've just been in touch with him and it's not my old car that's been written off. There were only 8 mesa red ones left in the country (so I'm told)...... only 7 now. :-(

Yes, I need to get some, here is one for now.

@Flytvr Yeah Dav where is and what is the start time.................answers on a postcard addressed to.............. 'Baseball bat blue' 1 Angry Drive Chippenham Wilts 😬 🐀

Whilst trying out some scaffold boards under my jack/stands at the weekend (gravel drive) I decided to clean up the OSR arch/suspension before slapping on a good coat of rust converter. I applied some to the tired rear disk bells earlier this year, didn't coat them with anything else and they've stayed nicely protected. I hope to get all of the undercarriage cleaned, treated and under sealed before too long. Anyhoo whilst I was rummaging around the OSR tail pipe I found that a heat shield fixing had corroded through. I managed to remove the nut and add a penny washer back only to find a second fixing had also failed but in a more awkward position on top of the rear box. This nut wouldn't budge but still had enough thread for me to add a spacer and washer which nipped up the heat shield properly. A bonus of this find/fix is that the rattle I thought was the rear parcel shelf/boot has now gone

and he bought that car off ebay this week for a grand ,the guy selling it said there was a bloke on his way from birmingham offered a grand without viewing it .

Looking forward to my new ISF, Mesa red 😉 “obviously”.......😂🤣

@Warrington guy Dave the lengths some blokes will go to get there 'Hit' count up 😂 🐀

SO ! If you're center console goes dead. IT'S A FUSE ! Located above the passenger side foot well.

Nice looking car, love the wheels, the silver ones are around 50bhp down on the Blue ones.......................ask @Flytvr and one or two others on here........................

Looks like the Meet is going to be a good one The record is 8 fs so we must be close . Flytvr . Where is it again

Have the engine bay a good clean the other day as it was dire. The pictures don't do it as much justice as I'd hoped but you can see there difference! (Last pic with a feature from 10mm socket [emoji23]) Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

Hi there :) I've decided to make a topic so you guys can see the changes I'll be making and updating to my mk4 LS400 over the coming months. I haven't done much and because it's such a good example I don't plan on going totally crazy on it like I first envisioned. I mainly post from my mobile so each new set of pictures will probably be a new post to this thread in itself. If you have any suggestions then please be my guest :) Thanks for reading and here's a few pictures of the day I first got it. Sent from my SM-G920F using Tapatalk

@Womble72 You spend to much time looking under dirty trains to worry about that 😁 🐀

😳

@finchy40 Gary I’ll put it together and do a thread for you in the next few days 👍 🐀

What time?? 😂🤣😂🤣

Picked up my bushes tonight from Pete. Very well made bits of kit, can’t wait to get them fitted. big thanks to Pete for organising and kindly getting them included in his shipment. top man, many thanks. matt

Yep that's the one. Seb was the guy I dealt with at Edinburgh. it was a beautiful car...... hopefully still is.

Think that clip was Bluewater 2016, the mod’d ISF is Pete’s one, there’s a supercharger going on that very soon, saw the red one there and yes she was in top condition, id be gutted and daresay the owner is too 😔

Not a chance, LoL I'm a big believer in GSI. Get someone in. It works !

Big rat . Don’t recognise the plate . Not seen the car . How do you know it’s local to me? Sound good tho

Just a heads up, he's changed his name again, this time it's lexuslegend

Ouch, I reckon that's rolled a couple of times going with the damage down the drivers rear 1/4. Could have dug in after losing it on a corner maybe who knows. Sad but looks like the cabins held up not too bad.

Big rat . Don’t know the breakers. But I’m sure it was a guys from Warrington who I meet. He sold it around 12 ago

Hi guys thank you for your replies everyone. just shown the wife those videos and it's a no brainier 👍🏻 Winters tyres all round, I'll keep an eye out for a spare set of alloys for 450 so I can just swop the set myself at home. many thanks also reading off the forum, I've ordered some LED reverse bulbs to help when reversing in the dark as the normal bulbs don't help when looking through the camera, you can hardly see anything. cheers

I bought my new GS300h Exec at the end of September 2016 and was able to get over 20% off the list price. Since it was the end of the quarter maybe the salesman wanted to make his quota? The Exec spec had all the options I wanted. I had expressed a preference for a particular colour, so they gave me another £610 off for taking the car they had in the showroom (zero miles). (That colour was Deep Blue, so quite acceptable to me). They also included a 'protection pack' - listed at £250 - at no extra cost. I used CarWow to get prices that other dealers would offer and simply asked my local Lexus dealer to match the best price - which they did, plus extra off for the colour and the protection pack was included for free. I was, and continue to be, very satisfied with my purchase. Tony

Hi and welcome to the LOC. We are a friendly bunch so please don’t hold back asking questions big or small should you have any problems with your car. We always welcome ideas on how to overcome problems with our cars but as they are the finest cars in the universe they don’t go wrong that often. Good luck with your hunt for a Lexus, there are plenty of good genuine cars out there just need to be patient and one will come along. Happy Lexus Motoring. Mike.

Wow thanks for the extra info! The car wasn't formally advertised for sale, i found it on a thread on the PH forum and contacted the owner directly. I do love the wheels, saying that the other style i see on most IS-F's also look great. Ill do my best to make the meet on the 19th!

me being a bit " old school " I rather like the unmolested touch Lexus spent billions designing these cars and for that reason alone they are near ( or really are ) perfect at inception and perform at optimum being unmolested I guess I am sure others on here with the Mk4 will have differing views and suggestions .............. best wishes with whatever you decide Malc

Totally agree with Rich. Ran Vredestein Wintrac Xtreme S all year round on a 262bhp Touareg with no issues at all. Same with TS830Ps on a C-class. Either have two sets of wheels & tyres for summer and winter use or just use all season or winter all year round. It's far more sensible than using summers all year round. Here's some videos but they only show extreme conditions. Massive improvements in safety just when it's cold and wet with no snow or ice is the main reason I use them. The fact that they mean you can go anywhere in snow is just a nice to have. It's often cheaper to run separate winter and summer tyres than it is to use summer tyres all year round too, contrary to popular belief.

If you don't fancy swapping them over twice a year go for some all seasons.

Lots of driving lots! Dirty winter days yuck... and white really shows it 😞

@Rusty Crobar I bet when you took it back it was begging for mercy 😉 🐀

It’s a good job she inst my misses

I very often hear a wind noise but from the passenger side when my wife lets rip 😅

@Warrington guy Dave I heard through the grapevine that @Flytvr was at the service reception of Cheltenham Lexus pleading on bended knees for them to fit @Mark G old system 😂 🐀

I double checked this and you're right. Battery itself is 3 year guarantee. Works 12 months

The temptation is strong but solves nothing though does it? I'm very much a karma sort of person. Not in a waving your chakras and chanting at crystals way but more based on cold statistics. If he continues to drive like a ******, especially as exposed as that, he's a lot more likely to come a serious cropper than Linus. I'm not going to wish him ill, he'll eventually manage to do that all by himself.

here's mine....

Couldnt resist

dav . I just make sure mine is parked next to mark g. Think I’ll be safe

I imagine the only underwear we will be signing would be Y-Fronts.....

Hi all, just a quick update.. I've manage to install the tracker directly into the battery and hid it away as neatly as possible.. took me approx 40mins altogether and it's working well for now. I will update you further if there are any problems. Thank you for your help x
