Sorry to here about your lexus and i would feel the same ?shop around it may not be as bad as you think, are you not protected on insurance, there is a place over here spray masters and would prob charge about £150/£200 and they do a good job, my mate had his lexus done on a bumper scuff and a ding on back wing, i think they charged £75 for the bumper scuff and £100 for the ding, hope this gives you some idea

LEXUS picking my car up next thursday, having timming belt changed and checking wheel out at same time, will let you all know what the problem was next week

bit of help needed ? i have looked for the old must clicky for help but cant find it on this new one?

anyway got a problem on front drivers wheel, on just slightly touching brakes i getting a clicking sound not all the time tho which points me towards the slide pins, but this last week i have had another problem on same wheel when turning and going over ramps there is a sound like rubber grinding, so i took it into my local garage yeterday and they said dry bottom ball jount ? these was change just over 12 months ago by LEXUS, i dont think it is this so before i book it into LEXUS as anyone got any ideas or had same problem

done it now mate had to pull belt right out slowley till it comes to a stop and then let it go back in very slow, its ok now

cheers

sorry mate, look i have had baby seat in that chair so what i am asking is -

once baby seat as been removed do I have to pull belt all the way out and let it retract to get the belt workng correctly again, as at moment when a grown up sits in that chair with the belt on its ok for a few minutes and then gos into the lock possition?

no you shouldn't have to do that. Seems the belt is over sensitive. Whether prolonged use of the baby seat, and the belt being stopped from retracting fully, causes the issue is debatable.

ok so once baby seat as been remove and someone sits there dont it go back to normal ?or do i have to pull it all out again and let it go back in before anyone sits there? as it is a pane to someone sitting there as they feel tied in with no movement

Well I had the old green one upto a few weeks back but had to change address which was free but have now got the new photo type which I dont like, yes I can remember the little red book ha ha and I have still got it as i can remember when they changed from the little red book to the green they gave you your old red book back, but they didnt send my old green one back this time

Hi Dave, I think its only the passanger rear that only locks ? it is always that one that passangers complains on, just wondering if its anything to do with putting baby seats in and pulling belt out to its limit when putting baby seats in, I will have to check drivers rear next time i have passanger in that one so unsure about this one at moment, or maybe its something to do with me taking back seats out last year when I thought I had a problem with ABS rear wheel senor.

Cheers

Hi, Need some advice please?

Just lately my rear passanges have complained about there seat belts going into the lock mode with no give, as I have never sat in the back i cant tell if this is norm or not, but surely there should be play in them if you need to bend forword, when they first put them on they do work norm but after a short time they go tight, as anyone had this problem

HI, it soulds to me as if your very low on transmission fluid, have you checked it ?

i had same problem the other week on one of the brake lights, i went and bought a new bulb but this was the same, at the end of the day the bulb was not pushed home ? try pulling the bulb out and then push it back in till you hear it click in, if they are not clicked in you dont get a good connection

Hi Bob, Cant help you for anywhere in London but there as got to be a few places there that do stainless "its London" and regarding sound noise MIJ asked me what sound I would like as they did 3 - standard- midsport- and sport, I went for the midsport

Have you got any pics of the system?

No unfortunately - should have taken my camera!! They made a lovely job of it though and includes a full lifetime guarantee.

Shame. Some pics of it on the car would be cool, from the back and also maybe from ground level looking underneath the car.

had mine done there also
