  1. I had the same light, turned out to be an oil pressure sensor. Took a day and a half to replace after diagnosis, and was told they had never seen the light come on before (surprise).. Thankfully, this was under warranty
  2. There's a setting that can be changed via the general settings menu. If you go into the menu where colour etc is changed, it's there somewhere
  3. I had exactly the same problem a couple of months ago - the light came on on the elevated section on the M4 (which has no hard shoulder) so I phoned my local Lexus dealer, who asked me if it was driving as normal and as it was to bring it in in the morning). Same pressure sensor fix.
  4. I've got one of these. http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_storeId_10001_catalogId_10151_productId_251029_langId_-1_categoryId_165477 It works really well (GS450h). There is usually an offer on to reduce the price too. Paul
  5. I do find the same thing sometimes, but it hasn't happened for a while. It seems to me to occur after leaving town at low speeds (sub 40) then accelerating gently from the roundabout to the speed limit change followed by hard acceleration. I'll will keep observing. Paul
  6. 450h has been brilliant. I couldn't get our celica moving on our road (an ungritted but icy crescent), but the 450h has been brilliant. Snow button depressed, not a spinning wheel in sight. TCS has been kicking in up the hill (yes the crescent goes up a hill at both entrances). I followed a neighbour and his Laguna slipped in the same places as I did. Paul
  7. thanks for the info re faulty mirror assembly. It started happening again last Friday, so I made a detour via Lexus Reading. Long story short, they replaced it under warranty on Tuesday while I drank tee and sat inside the Bentley in the showroom. Paul
  8. Well, I think we have found the car I will buy, before I do if I May I will tell you the deal and wait for comments. The car is an Oct 06 (56 plate)GS450H SE with sunroof in Messe red mileage is 44000 with a full Lexus service history. The car looks clean with a few chips around the front but nothing bad. Price £18990 and the part exchange on my present car is acceptable. What do you guys think of the deal and the purchase price, good, bad, average? Should I snatch the dealers hand off or walk away. Never bought a Lexus before so asking for advise from more people with more experience than I have. I f I have a concern it is the mileage a little above the average. Thanks again Hard to say about the price - I bought mine in April, 23 Months old with 47k - and paid 500 more. Mine is an SE without sunroof. For me it is a little expensive - the main warranty runs out this month - Is it a lexus direct car and do you get the 12 month lexus warranty? Paul
  9. I would agree with tony's sentiments. Just one thing to add. It will run on the electric motor at 30 on a flat road, and upto 40 down a slight incline. Paul
  10. I have a 450h of the same vintage. I moved from an Avensis with a cavernous boot. It all depends on what you regularly do. We find that the boot is the similair to a small hatchaback. like a fiesta or maybe even a focus. Sometimes some additional though is required when planning a trip, but we have never found it to be an issue. For all the other rewards of the car the boot can be at most, a minor inconvenience. If you are buying from a lexus centre, why not see if you can book a 24hr test drive in a new 450h and see how it goes? Paul
  11. wasn't central when it happened to me, also wasn't that it didn't work, but as the OP pointed out, differed in the amount the mirrors travelled and was inconsistent. P.
  12. I have recently had the same problem. Though it seems to gave gone away after I was forced to completely reprogramme the seat memory. Would be interested to know why it happened and what the solution is. Mine os on an 07 plate Paul
