Cheers. Found it. When I searched the Lexus site I had a few to choose from.

Thanks NemesisUK

Hi all I am hopefully picking up my RC300 f Sport next week sometime. It was Reg in 1/9/2016. Can anyone tell me what User manual and what standard kit it comes with? It is one of the touchpad models. Cheers Robert

Did the mechanic tell you what the code was? It may give you more information to go on.

Yeah that would be great but the nearest one to me is about 200 miles away. One of the drawbacks of living on an island.

I have found another 2002 model with 10,000 less miles than my one. I have arranged for the AA to go and inspect it. Sticking within the £5200 approx. If that turns out to be a bag of spanners then I may go for a 2006 model. However I do like the RC 200T and RC300H. I would need to make large deposit and then HP the rest. With that said I think the build quality of the SC430 was/is much better.

It was on a cast iron fence. Which didn't help.

I have been offered £4055. Which I rejected. Second offer was for £5200 which I accepted. Tried to get them to go higher but the agent who I am dealing with said that was the final offer. I have the report from the garage which estimate the repairs to cost £9600.

That's great to know Neil. I will up date the post when I hear from the Ins Comp. Thanks

Hi Neil I have researched the market over the course of today and I think £4500 - £5000 would be a reasonable settlement figure, given the mileage compared to what is available it would sit within that price range for the 2002 plate. I don't mind adding a bit more to upgrade a year or two. However unfortunately insurance companies are know for being reasonable. Not many parts available on Ebay either. Hopefully I will know more tomorrow.

Not looking forward to that argument. I have had a search for same year and 87000 miles on the clock. Found a few with higher mileage at £4500 region so hoping around that figure would be good. sorry Hoping should have been in bold, capitals and 30 feet high.

Ha ha Firstly I wasn't driving it. It was my wife who said she was exiting the round about and was about to over take when it started to fish tail and eventually lost control. No damage to the wife was sustained. I am saving the verbal ear bashing for a time that suits me. You the time when you are losing an argument and you want to through in a curve ball to deflect from the actual point instead of admitting that you are wrong kind of time.

No airbags were set off. Not sure if I should have been worried about that or not.

Hi Herbie The iron bars are along the central reservation.. they have been thete for a long time. With that said it does look like the lampost in question is hit fairly often. Here is a pic from google strèet maps. The iron fence was already flattend as no damage to the rear of the car. https://earth.app.goo.gl/?apn=com.google.earth&ibi=com.google.b612&isi=293622097&ius=googleearth&link=https%3a%2f%2fearth.google.com%2fweb%2f%4055.84446553,-4.47621816,12.11950688a,0d,60y,178.41514958h,102.83346258t,0r%2fdata%3dCkwaShJCCiUweDQ4ODg0YjdmNmM2ZmUxMmY6MHg0YTE4MjQ4OWJlY2Y5ZTFiGdwKYTWW7EtAIRL5LqUu-RHAKgdMaW53b29kGAEgASgCIhoKFnBtTm1TYlR1dHNfME5BamVReEtxUEEQAg

If written off I will be looking for a replacement. I liked the car a great deal and would buy another. Just need to find the right one.

I didn't go for the cheapest on the market so hope that fight won't be a dragged out affair.

Yeah Ouch. Was hoping it could be saved. Given that it's 02 plate deep down I was thinking the insurance company will write it off. Then it will be the battle of a reasonable settlement figure.

I all. Its been quite a while since I have been on the forum. Mostly due to the fact that my SC430 had been running well. Until now. My Lexus was involved in a small altercation with a lamp post. Is it fixable and worth saving. Still waiting on the insurance report. Behind the bumper the plate is v shaped. Not sure about the damage underneath. Cheers Rob

Ray Thanks for that, puts my mind at ease. Rob

Recently I have noticed (it may have always happened) that my car rolls a few inches once I apply the hand break (foot break). Is this normal? Rob

Which model and was it easy to fit? It's a very enjoyable car.

Great Pics Aquanuke. Is photography a hobby or job?

Yeah its tough finding the right ones. I spent a while looking at new wheel nothing fancy just not pizza plates. but when you add that to the cost of new tyres it was just too pricey for my liking. Just done a deal for 5 second hand OEM star caps for £119. Shipped from states including delivery. Not bad even if I say so my self.

Yes I think you are right. Try googling the star hubs, better chance of finding Lord Luton in the UK. I have only seen 4 SC430's in the time I have had mine which was last March. One was on Bute where I stay and the cheeky begger parked right behind me with his new style flash wheels.
