    I think the original post was tongue in cheek. A bit harsh Vlad?

    I wise choice. Another good LS400 may come along in the future.

    I would bite the financial bullet and buy from a Lexus Dealer, one with a full service history. Provided you have the car serviced at a main Lexus dealer, you get a 10 year Relax Warranty. Servicing is not cheap but you will get peace of mind knowing that non-consumable repairs should be covered.

    I had a 1974 Carina, like the white one. A fantastically reliable car. I saw it do 100,000 miles, then my friend bought it for his wife to learn to drive. It died of rust - the engine was still good.

    I think you do have to service a Tesla?

    I am going to use Lanoguard. I have used Waxoyl in the past. By all accounts Lanoguard is easy to apply but needs doing every 12 months. I feel it is worth the effort. Another member on here is doing the same and will hopefully post photos.

    Photos of the vintage cars please!

    If the tyres are the correct specification for that vehicle I would not be too concerned. They are budget tyres - depends how you drive. The dealer put those on because they were cheap! £53 If you were unhappy with them, then you will need to budget for a complete change and possibly sell the Black Arrows ?

    You have an itch to scratch Malc! Is this going to be a replacemen t for one of your cars? It could be an interesting choice.

    BX61SYO? £8995? Looks a peach - but speedometer has not been converted to mph? Would that be an MOT issue? Compliance?
  11. Spacewagon52
    Cant find it on autotrader

    The white one Malc?

    The only car I have driven in with a ride nearly as good as the LS400 was an old Citreon DS Safari Estate.
  14. Spacewagon52
    Consider the car is an old Citreon - you have to cancel them yourself! My LS400 indicators are very quiet and that can lead to them being left on.

    Yes, had one made for a RX300. It was not the same fob - more like a VW one. Localish locksmith charged around £180 IIRC.

    Please take some photos if you can - I am interested in doing this myself. Just keep the Lanoguard away from the brake assembly. I understand you can put it on the exhaust but not the manifold.

    Blocked nozzles? Go to a petrol station and blast some air down the holes. Have you checked underneath to see if the pipe has come loose? There will be water on the floor. I believe there is only one pump.

    If I were to go for a convertible then I would probably have to go for the SC430. The cost of repairs /parts would concern me.

    The inside opinion appears it to be a good thing. Marshall grouyp are part of a bigger organisation that have large stakes in Cinch or WBAC (?) and British Car Auctions. Lexus UK were not happy about newer stock appearing on non-dealer sites like Cinch. As Nick says - time will tell.

    Comparing boot liners is very misleading. The NX appears to be only slightly smaller than the 400h. In fact the NX is a lot smaller. The seats in the RX400h can be moved forward. The under storage area is also bigger. If you want a BIG boot then buy the 450h-L!
  21. Spacewagon52
    Have you had any issues with your ES? That is a big mileage in 2 years!
  22. Spacewagon52
    The lights on my RX300 were very good. But the 400h I owned was poor, even after a lens buff. No comparison compared to the excellent LED's they now fit.
  23. Spacewagon52
    You make a very interesting point here Pete. I am not saying go back to the 1960's cars but the technology now available - is it really necessary? I hope to do a review of my LS 400 as some point and I will make some comparisons with my NX300h. The tech, if you are not careful, can be more distracting than helpful. I never use the infotainment screen / menu etc while driving. Fortunately, on the NX, there are buttons for the most useful and used instruments. I can imagine the younger members of our Lexus community may not agree.
