Yes unfortunately Edinburgh the nearest after Aberdeen closed down a number of years ago due to lack of sales this far north... I might of cracked open the choccy biccies seeing as your a fifer.. I'm originally fae St.andrews 😃 Ps yes I washed car again today and polished her Again because I was bored 😁😁😁😁

Rob..... Local lol a good 2.5hrs away..... Yes coffee and a scabbie rich tea biscuit would be provided and if your lucky I might let you look over my car.... Lol ... No touching tho

Omar... Black spots are tar and gold spots are iron fall out ... Saw a post on this on a local detailing business awhile back

I so want to say you've missed a bit But can't as I believe you've even polished the inner wing and inside of exhaust pipes lol and if you didn't I bet you want to know hahaha Nice pics mate

Washed and didn't need polished as water beading of nicely from last time I polished her ... a wee run out and can report that heated seat works just fine... Not that I need it this time of year and leather fitted better Ps wife for sale 😏😏😏 oops forgot I'm not a gold member so can't sell her on here 😂😂😂😂😂

Got her back a hour ago and am WELL happy.... Even got a full tank of fuel (driver filled it up 5mins before dropping it off) And me bad I hadn't filled the IS300 up but was told not to worry about it as I'd only done 50mls in the week I had it 😃 Ok I'm off to wash polish caress her body work (I caress her more than the wife so ive just been told) 😉😉

Beautiful day up here at moment and it's only going to get better, MY CARS ON ITS WAY BACK as I type 😃😃😃 should arrive back with me about 13:00 😃😃 I've already got my cloths and polish waiting for it 😃 As YOUs know I asked/TOLD Lexus not to wash or valet it as the young lad that does it didn't do a good job or up to my standards, so the pleasure of cleaning n valeting is all mine I don't mind as I like seeing my car shine 😃😃😃😃😃😃 I'll post a pic up once I've got car back of the seat etc And hopefully won't be ranting on about it again

According to weather forecast it was 20*c up here North East scotland Lol that'll be it for me then for good weather for the rest of the year we've now had our quota for the year

Bonnie day up here... Perfect for washing n polishing my Lexus ...... Unfortunately it's still at Lexus edinburgh so ended up washing n polishing the Mrs car 😣😣😣 I usually just run a hose over her car 10min job then spent rest of day doing mine lol but was told to treat her car today as mine isn't around 😞😞😞... Typical eh But did wash the courtesy car IS300h 😃

I did the same with my ls600 when I fitted it ie the pillow over gear stick in case unit slipped and damaged the screen (glad I did lol twice I had butter fingers) I believe it was 2 cables I had to disconnect and reattach into harness on mine (LS) and no mention of earthing unit in my set up

Rayaan..... Yes it's totally shocking plus other damaged I'd listed and the missing drivers mat stolen by last customer, the dealership are chasing all this up with him, intially I was meant to be getting a RX450 but had all been pre-booked out and I'd of had to of waited another couple of days, I didn't want to wait any longer for my car to be picked up as I'm using my car as the brides transport for my daughters wedding in a weeks time, can't imagine what it would be like to try n squeeze her and dress into back of any other car hence I need mine back for it

As does my LS600 Colin... I believe this is300 has been used and abused worse thing is it was another Lexus owner that did this When he had this as a courtesy car It's not my car but I have washed/ hoovered it twice since I've had the use the of it and ok a bit OTT I polished it as well 😁😁😁 Why.... You ask well I respect other ppls property and expect the same... Plus I was bored lol😂😂😂😂😂

You are correct... Messi it has

Rudy ..... Heres a pic of my bosses old LS430 at bottom of his yard that I had mentioned in a previous post.... I asked him what he's doing with it and he's still unsure My opinion is its not viable to get back on road as been sat to long and all brakes including pipes needing sorted, both front doors have large amount of rust along the trim, and as you can see passenger window is milking up.... Tyres are knackered as well, alloys badly needing refurbed Apart from that lol interior in good shape as is engine 😃😃😄

Hahaha Rudy ....

As some of you's are aware I presently have a is300h as a courtesy car, When it was delivered to me the driver tshowed me a bit of damage on the drivers seat and bodywork Thes a 2-3in scuff mark on the drivers seat back roughly about Halfway up on the edge just where the seatbelt rests on seat I'm just wondering is this a common thing with design of seat or as lexus driver said he thinks last person to use car probably didn't wear seat belt and it was rubbing between the driver and seat... The last person who had this as a courtesy car needs a kicking as he had scraped and dented rear n/s arch, kerbed the same side alloy and OSF alloy and believe it or not stole the drivers floor mat This is on a 64 plate with 6k on clock (shocking) I personal have noticed this past 3wks that the 2 courtesy cars ive had 1 being a 64 plate shogun and 2nd a 64 plate is300h that they aren't treated right The shoguns paint work looked like a 10yr old car put thru car washes ie every single panel very badly swirled marked and only 3310mls on its clock Is300 as described above Do ppl not look after cars they've been given out of courtesy I personally look after them as if they where mine Sorry went a bit of track from orginal question re the seat I'll take a photo in morning a show yous better what I mean

I've had KY08 LEX and now have KY09 LEX... lads names KYle and I drive a LEXus Hopefully someone will buy it of you soon mate

Rudy.... I had a lengthy chat with them about this and have been assured it won't be... Don't even want them washing it as thes no scratches on it now and don't want someone putting a brush or sponge over my car with grit/dirt imbedded in them.... Yes I am very pernickety ok anal about the up keep of my car lol

Ohhh ive been there done that on the is300 forum and think I upset some owners I can see where there coming from by their comments tho as it is unfair to judge it against the 600 lol I find it a small uncomfortable and very basic, and very plasticky Nice drive tho and nice shape but nahhhhhh not for me I'm too used to the luxury of The LS range

Yes £1350 + vat + plus whatever ££ a hr to sort 😯😯

Nope my car would look absolutely daft on 15"... I'm on 19" and don't find the ride harsh at all My other LS ive got is on 18" and again rides not been compromised when I went up from 16s to 18s

I have noticed over the years NOT just with Lexus but other big dealerships as well that rather than try and diagnose the original problem they just replace the item staring them in the face.... My 1st ever Lexus which was a mk2 LS 12yrs ago had the blinky dash and Lexus wouldn't repair it but replace it at a cost of near 2k... I did a bit of research myself and went to local maplin electronic store and bought 3 capacitors at a huge expense of 96pence 😆😆😆😆 2hrs of my time and sorted a small saving of £1999.04.. Again with this problem I did a bit of research and came to conclusion it was a thermostat relay and mentioned this prior to them getting my car to look at again and guess what YES. A bit of research diagnosed the fault.... Maybe I should work with n their tech department and could save customers loads of money.... Anyway at moment I'm happy hopefully be in same mood when it's back.... Unlike last time 😆😆

Phone Lexus up earlier and they have finally solved the heated seat problem I had.... The thermostat for the heated seat was temperamental so now getting replaced... Intially Seat was heating up fine when they had it (funny as I used car more frequently than they have tested it and it never heated up fine from when problem started) Anyway they went to check it again yesterday and thermostat was cutting off too soon so problem found and now solved After seeing the leather seat replacement they have finally agreed it shouldn't be like that so seat being given to a vehicle upholsterer to fit by steaming and specialist ironing (yes sounds weird ironing leather) but that's how it's done Seemingly the reason for state of new leather is the way it's packed and stored ie folded up multiple times and shoved into a plastic bag, hence misshaped leather and bad figment Anyhow that's it getting done and should get car back early next week due to Easter Monday etc etc So won't need to slum it in a is300h for much longer 😆 For those that haven't read my other posts the heater element is attached to leather and comes as a one piece item in the 600s and more than likely 460s hence new seat leather as well (even tho final diagnoses was a thermostat under seat was problem and not the element my original leather/heat element had been disposed off so new seat element/leather fitted )

Don't think anyone on here is selling their LS600hl, keep trying the likes of autotrader or even contact Lexus themselves and if one crops up they'll give you a call... I did that and ended up with the exact color trim and extremely low mileage minted one with RSR pack

Now that's a quality battery... Mine only lasted 5yrs
