  5. On my 2004 LS430 I have noticed today that there seems to be a slight difference in the gap from top of tyre to wheel arch on rear , near side gap approx 1.5 inch , off side 3 inch. No noises etc , no wobbly or bouncy rear end , car runs perfectly and feels as it should , is this difference in height a major worry ? Any help and advice will be v welcome . Thanks in advance Paul
  6. The breakdown cover is excellent ,,, saved me £465 on repairs to my cl500And saved the mrs £320 on repairs to her 3 series
  7. My insurance company is lynbrook insurance services ,,, very good company My LS430 costs me £445 per year , fully comp , with mrs on it . Best quote I had on the compare sites was £870 due to 3 points and the fact that I've had two accidents one was my fault ! Give them a try

  12. So what cars did we have before we settled on a Lexus ? A few of my previous 2002 Mondeo tdci , , got bored 1990 BMW 750il , , 68k miles , looked like new but I wrote it off 1996 LS400 , , stop gap cheapie 1998 jag xj8 4.0 , , great car ! 1998 BMW 750il individual , , amazing very rare car , minter , lost £400 in 3 yrs ,,, shouldn't av got rid !! 2000 merc CL500 , , worst , most unreliable car ever ! Love the look and drive etc , but a money pit !! Current car ..... 2004 LS430 ,,,,, very happy with it !
  13. This is a policy I added onto my AA membership 6 yrs ago About £8 per month per car Pays out upto £500 per claim for parts and labour Pay for 2 vehicles , get a third free ! We have my car , the mrs's 3 series and my van on it Recently her car broke down ,, £800 repair bill .... AA sent cheque for £465.00 ( £35.00 excess) My CL 500 had a £493.00 bill ,, AA sent cheque for £458 In the past they have even paid for a new battery inc fitting ! Batt was £140.00 on my 7 series ! Must go to a vat registered garage This is a great policy in my opinion ,,, we have had over £2,300 back in the last 2 years !
  14. At the risk of seeming a bit dim ,,,, what do the rear seat buttons ( situated on door card ) actually do ? Set M C Not tried them yet , I'm still fathoming out the front controls lol
  15. As some of you may know , I had a 1996 LS400 great car Changed it for a 1998 jag xj8 4.0 great car Then a bmw 750il individual amazing car !!

How can a car be so silent ? How can a car be so comfy ? How can a car have so many features / extras for so little money ? How can a car that cost me £4,100 get all these admiring looks ? How can a car make me want to look at it thru window of my house as much as I do ? Answers to all the above have one answer ,,,,,,,,,, it's a Lexus LS430 ! As you may guess ,,,,,,I'm absolutely over the moon with my car !
