  1. AA can't sort it so awaiting a recovery lorry to arrive and load it onto back then it'll be heading straight down to Edinburgh ... Getting a replacement car but likely to be a little tiny wee engined run about from a firm up in inverness, so also awaiting for someone from the firm in inverness (which is a hours drive away) to come and pick me up so I can pick my run about up in Inverness .... Why they can't just deliver one to me god knows.... Anyway at my expense of Yous laughing at me I will post up a pic of the tiny little wee small inferior car laters ---- I have my hoody n dark glasses to hide my ID as I drive it back at the ready lol EDIT..... Just as I posted this, company in Inverness just phoned to say they will deliver to my house tomorrow afternoon ....which is fine with me, I purposesly didn't ask what car I'm getting as the shame is going to kill me lol......
  2. Don't think replacement will be a Lexus think it'll be a local garage I get one of as nearest Lexus dealer 200mls away..... I'll have to wear a hoody and dark glasses and park it away from house what ever make it will be 😁
  3. Lol AA guy just turned up n I popped bonnet n he just went Errrrrrrrrrrrr lol EDIT... No fault codes on obd reading but fault messages on dash.?????????? Yes I know dash is dusty but blowing a gale up here at moment and everytime I open door I recieve half a field inside... Lol
  4. just off phone with lexus Edinburgh and lexus assist and looks like the 600 is going to be recovered down to Edinburgh... Which is 200mls away from me but nearest lexus garage Reason why...... Went to move car today and got brake malfunction,abs vsc systems and pcs check warning lights Brake pedal is hard to press.... To dodgy to drive car down to edinburgh so advised to phone lexus assist, Cars still under warranty so will get that all sorted plus heated seat is temperamental (drivers side) covered by warranty lol I did ask as its a replacement element and leather seat as they are all one part, And whilst it's at garage Edinburgh will do the recall work that's needing done AA are on way to me now... I'm at home with car on drive which is a bonus Hope I get a decent replacement car.....
  5. No fittings, or holes on mk4... I drilled out a hole and glued in a set of LED lights and wired them into a live feed worked off the ignition and worked a treat
  6. This November will be my 10yr anniversary of being a member of this club I started off on LS forum then went to IS forum then back to LS then over to GS and back where I belong on the LS, where I'm most happy 😉
  7. When I had a 450h all doors opened when put into park... I'm sure you can do it, I know in my 600hl when I got it last year only drivers door did and I read manual and programmed it to open all......
  8. I replace a rear o/s abs sensor on my 400 awhile back and it reset it self
  9. I had a passenger door on my 400 resprayed and was £565 6yrs ago 😫 ps Ya tight git lol 😂😂😂😂😂
  10. Still be a smart car on steroids tho 😆😆
  11. Ohhhhh for fox sake....... Check the alloys out...... Can see them curbed before it got to a showroom..... I hate tea and this certainly ain't my cuppa..... Bit harsh I know but seriously.... Shall we ask top gear to review one hahahahahahahaha ....
  12. Quirky but reminds me of a Smart car..... My Mrs said ohhhh nice ... Says it all she's no taste hence she's with me
  13. I have the relaxation pack in my 600 ... My kids love it I have yet to experience it.... 😆 I'm not a husband or father when I've the family in car IM A UNDERPAID CHAUFFEUR LOL
  14. Here's a screen shot from a email I recieved off company reference this unit maybe if interest to some of yous.... It is with me and will order one in due course, I've already got the iVIC unit for my iPhone installed from this company
  15. The kit is only available from the states.... No Uk outlets I had asked prior to getting mine... Just put into a search engine vias tech and all info will be there
  16. My bosses old ls430 did the same rear ns years ago, his car at time was only 4yrs old and Lexus replaced it free of charge years later happened again n out of warranty so just put up with it .....LS430,460 n 600 are all double glazed windows
  17. I've travelled 465miles by train to pick up a mk4 LS400 with 134ks on clock Flew down the length of UK Aberdeen - Southampton to pick up a GS450h Drove down 465mls for a LS600 Never once had any concerns
  18. Yes Steve mine parks itself.... Well it would if I let it lol ...scares the life out of me so just take over and do it myself... Ps turning circle of the 600 is (I know the word I want to use but can't lol) hence to say it's not good Just as well I'm a artic lorry driver and know how much room I need to manoeuvre around tight corners comes in handy in the 600 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
  19. Yes my previous car prior to buying my LS600hl was a GS450h... I've always been a LS fan and had two 400s and was looking at upgrading to A LS460, But at the last moment I saw a minted 08 GS and decided I'd go for that so put deposit down booked a flight from aberdeen to Southampton and picked it up couple of days later, intially I was over the moon with it, but soon regretted not sticking to the LS's, I found that the comfort was no where near the LS and on long journeys got numb bum syndrome and had to keep moving around in seat to get comfy lol, kept car for 2yrs tho then upgrade to a very low mileage 1 owner minted 600 so again put a deposit down with lexus sheffield and drove down in GS (455mls) got a excellent trade in price on GS and a few extras off dealer and left in the 600 drove all the way home and when I arrived home felt as relaxed as the minute I got into car 8hrs earlier Yes got the buttons mixed up on box as instructions are rubbish lol hence the phone call to states I've ran wires from back of Emv stereo thru and under gear console and just took out my iPod connector which is in centre arm rest and feed wires thru there , connected the box up and like you had said I put in a false bottom so box is not noticeable Ps if you test drive a LS guareenteed you'll be wanting one
  20. The LS600hl is longer than usual car parking bays so be aware of where you park as you don't want someone clipping it... Do not go thru Fast food drive thru's ... I did the day I bought the car and curbed alloy multi storey car parks can be a bit hair raising and certain ones up my way I won't even attempt I get about 3mls on EV and yes 20mph It does have a iPod connection in the arm rest compartment but you still need to manually select songs thru iphone/ipod, I purchased a vais tech gadget which allows me to play all my iPhone music albums and get album art and library on Emv display and allows you to use steering wheel controls to nav thru music menu from iPod/iPhone plus other features like Google maps weather and all my iPhone telephone contacts, the is a menu for dab radio but never used it via the vais tech app Unsure about nav updates as DONT generally use it, The comfort in the LS600hl is second to none..... The only thing I'm not likening in the 600 is the drop down telly, when it's down it blocks your vision thru rear view mirror, everything else is perfect, Just remember it is a extra long car Saying that I wouldn't swap it for anything... Well maybe a newer 600 lol, mines a 09 with a little over 27k Hope this helps a bit Graham
  21. Carl.., you do realise you'll have to dig the system out when thes a update to do on the unit 😃 I was going to do the same in my LS600 es putting unit behind stereo but was advised not to.. Due to needing access to it for updates .,,, saying that ive not had to update it yet,,, mines in my armrest compartment and freely accessible..... I also had a few probs setting it up and ended up phoning the company in the states (Mrs wasn't happy lol)
  22. Chris I normally only do about 3-4k miles per year in the lexus and its a very happy 3-4ks lol, would like to do more but with my health condition at moment be lucky if the car does a 100mls a month.... I'm still not letting the Mrs drive it (snigger) apart from that she's too scared to as I'd hunt her down if she scratched it lol
  23. Price for wing mirror cover is around £90 or was 2yrs ago The cover comes in 2 parts ie the main body then the trim bit surrounding the mirror edge.... I broke my BLACK drivers side one but only the mirror surround part and had to buy whole plastic unit (as not sold separately) ive still got the new main body part in black and drivers side if any use to you pm me... my GS 450 was a 08 so will fit and match a 09 with indicators in mirror I don't need it any more as I've upgraded to a LS600
