Yes I was there with my IS200SE, I'm sure some of these phots are ones I took.

This could have answered one of the questions I've had about my IS300h since day 1. Six bars is 100% full then? There always looks to be a blank bar above the highest point mine reaches. I wasn't sure whether this was another bar which could be filled or was a space on the graphic.

I was told it  never charges to 100% and never goes completely flat at 0%.  So there is always an unfilled bar at the top.

Thanks for all the input.  I've had the Battery on charge, on and off since yesterday, as I was celebrating rather late yesterday and it's raining today, so anyway it starts OK and I will try and take it for a run, not too far from home, and see how it goes.  Just one question, if these small jump start Battery pack will do the trick, can't you just put any 12volt Battery across the flat battery terminals to get it going?

Aha, right. I've never had a PCP (to me that's a Primary Cross-connection Point (the green street cabinets) in the BT underground telephone cables ) but I always assumed that as you don't actually own the car then it doesn't cost you anything over and above whatever your monthly payments are. Just goes to show that every day's a school day!

Well well what a small world, I retired from GPO/Post Office Telephones/BT/Openreach in 2012.  You still have to pay for tyres etc, and batteries aren't covered out of warranty, which ours is.  I'm going to leave it on charge and see what tomorrow brings.

I'm assuming you've tried charging it first before looking for a replacement?

Is on a trickle charge right now.  The PCP runs out in August so we are hoping not to have to spend any money on it, but it's always best to check, just incase.  I can't believe it's such an awkward size.

Ordinarily on my birthday I would be off to the local for a pint or three, but not today as the Lexus won't start because the Battery is flat.  So I have spent a couple of hours trying to find a replacement, but with no luck.  Has anyone actually found a direct replacement?☹️

Does anyone remember being there? One of the very first Lexus Owners Club weekend meetings.  All my album says is JAE 2002.

I bought the plate in 2001, and have transferred it onto 3 new cars in 2007, 2014 and 2017, so as long as you are making your car look older, that's OK.  You cannot make it look younger and "V" the last  time was 2000. So any car after 2000 is OK , I think!

I got this wrong, the site said it estimated £500, so I'm guess no reasonable offer would be refused.

My cherished plate is for sale as we are leaving Lexus this year.  I bought it 19 years age with my first Lexus, a Silver IS200 Super.  We now have our fourth Lexus an IS300h, which is how the IS has evolved over the years.  I have been offered £500 from an online site, but I would rather it went to a LOC member. Please PM.

Well they do it's called the UX300e and order books are open so.....

OK Rayaan, You cannot get one now, or in the next 6 months, and we had a test drive in a UX and rejected it as being too small in the boot/back and a bad ride because of the short wheelbase.  The UX300e is coming 2021 by which time there will be a plethoras of EV's on the market.

Here's my thoughts.  We have had an IS200S, an IS250 Sport, an IS 300h and now have an IS300h Sport and this will be our last Lexus because we are going EV.  Neither Lexus nor Toyota make a 100% electric car at the moment.  We have driven "reserved" a Kia e-nero and also "been allocated" a VW First ID3.  We see the market taking off this year with sales of EV's.  We had to "reserve" the Kia 6 months ago because they had sold all of the 2019 allocation in the early part of the year.  It is a very very good car to drive and as we have solar panels it kind of makes sense to go EV.  The VW ID3 looks a very good car on paper, and VW obviously can see which way the market is going.  I still cannot believe that Jaguar did not see the slump in the sale of diesel cars coming.

Anyway it will be sad to leave this club, as we saw it grow from the 1990's to what it is today.  Good luck all.

Yes Roy, the VED would've gone from £10 (which we had to pay all at once) to £130, and if we had had leather seats the price of the FSport would have taken the price to over £40,00 which would have made it even more.  The last thing we want is to give the government any of our money!

Hi Derek, we had a bad time getting our IS300h in 2017, we wanted it to arrive before the VED rate went up after 1st April.  Unfortunately so did a lot of other people as we went twice to Lexus Wolverhampton to await a transporter that did not arrive from Bristol.  So our 1st March delivery was looking bad, the reason was that there were too many car transporter bodies but not enough tractor units.  In the end Lexus Wolverhampton sent a low loader to Bristol and brought it back themselves.

I really hope she doesn't buy another Lexus. 

We've come to the same decision.  Don't want another IS.  Looks like the UX will be too small,  tested an NX and that was underpowered so that the engine was always "screaming".  INHO.  Also think they have missed the boat by not going for an all electric car, now that we have been bitted by the bug.

Sorry I really can't remember now. I have actually given up on connected services and even the My Lexus portal as they really are so poor. 

Yes i've given up also.  I get occasional message saying it can't download a route.  I now use a separate Garmin in the car as it has all the speed cameras.  

Luxus satnav £40,000 with car. £200 plus to update maps.

Garmin satnav £99. Lifetime FREE map updates!!!

Thanks for all the replies, I think I will continue putting the odd tank of Shell in to dilute the Tesco or Asda fuel.

Has anyone tried premium petrol in their IS300h?  I've seen Honest John in the Telegraph twice say something like " why pay £40,000 for your car and put the cheapest petrol in the tank?".

Spotted in Wellington, Shropshire today.  Could have started a club meeting!

Had an invite to Lexus Wolverhampton's yesterday.  They have one as a demonstrator, and the official launch is this weekend.

Just fixed that for you 

Back to the drawing board Martin.  No "online search" or "select browser" in Shropshire anyway.

Can't find the routes I sent from the computer, someone point me in the right direction (no pun intended).

I now have my Premiun nav connected services working and i am able to use street view but not Panoramio, and i can send routes from my portal journey planner to the car however i cannot use the online search feature in the car and when i go to connected services and try to select search engine there are no options there. Also i am not getting any service history showing on the portal and i have full Lexus service history, does everybody else's service history come up on the portal. 

 

That's where I am exactly, street view works and I can send a route to the car but non of the other promised features.  Our dealer said the portal is undergoing upgrades so it's just a matter of sit and wait.

No Tel, no eggs to suck here.  I've got it now.  Now all we need is for Lexus to get the rest of the online services working.
