  1. They are based in the UK and deliver aswell.
  2. I came across this video on youtube - there is couple more if you go into the user videos:
  3. Glad you are sticking to lexus. Have worked by way through the Lexus LS range - on my 2nd 430 in the last 10 years. Can't see myself driving anything else.
  4. Lexus hatfield have one for sale: 2010 Black Lexus LS Saloon 600h L 5.0 4dr CVT Auto [Rear Relaxation Pack] for sale for £26,295 in Hatfield, Hertfordshire (autotrader.co.uk)
  5. I've only recently realised they have reduced the sugar content in chocolate - walkers and mccoys have also reduced salt in their crisps - a treat is longer the same any more
  6. Oh the LS430 and 400 they simply pop off - maybe it’s the same on the GS
  7. Had a ballast go on my 430 few years back
  8. The dash lights going out points a worn ignition switch - Sits on the other end of the igntiion barrell - not too difficult to replace. You could minotor it and see how bad the problem is - I replaced mine many years ago and pretty sure "ambermarine" done his aswell lookig forward to some pictures . . . .
  9. The guys on the LS forum have good things to say about Denso ones which come on offer here and there on Euro Car Parts My current LS came with bosch ones which have been fine for over 18 months
  10. This post here is for a 1999 RX - maybe have a nother look for the plugs: Driver's Foot Rest - 99 - 03 Lexus RX300 - Lexus Owners Club of North America On the LS430 you can adjust the seat base cushion -when I bought my first LS430 many years ago, whilst playing around I adjust the seat cushion to come out fully - as a result the base would hit the underside of my knee when seated - this led to painful leg - I thought maybe the the 430 did'nt have as much leg room as the 400 but thankfully I realised my error pretty soon
  11. I was surprised to find that actual surround is plastic - but the amazing quality finish after all these years still maintains a shine
  12. Have a read here: Circuit Sports Hood Lift Dampers | Lexus CT200h Forums
  13. Hi Here is the link to the thread I mentioned:
  14. Hi I found this post from the US It looks like red leather is affected more than black - how does that change your research figures: Is it normal to have the leather wrinkle? - Page 3 - ClubLexus - Lexus Forum Discussion
  15. Hi I have read of one incidence where the owner had a simlar problem with his - lexus replaced the whole seat base - and then found out it was a relay which was switching early - perhaps you can pursue this avenue I will see if I can find the post
  16. Hi Stephen - apart from the normal car checks you should do - look out for the following : 1) A recent MOT would point out any suspension related issues - Its a heavy car but one which is well put together and you may not pick up any worn suspension issues on test drive. 2) Check the radar cruise control - there has been some incidences where the it plays up due to water ingress. 3) Check Tire pressure sensors are working as they should - sometimes it can be tricky to find non oem replacements/coding etc. 4) Check it has a hybrid health check - this will guarantee the hybrid battery for 12 months. 5) Check the glove box lid is level - some of them dont close properly. 6) Check the drivers seat base edge - the foam can sag and the leather stretches making the seat unsightly to look at and appear over-used. 7) Check drivers side seat belt pillar - I've seen loads where normal use has worn them down 9) Check the car sits level on all four corners to rule out any suspension problems - if the car has any electrical related suspension issue than chances are only Lexus will be able to sort it which can be expensive. Generally speaking suspension issues are rare. hope this helps
  17. I dont think there is a match for the older marques of Lexus such as LS400/430/600H and GS450H - the quality of material and workmanship is on another level and will not be repeated. The GS450H is a special car from what I have read on this forum. These cars were made when manufacturers were trying to make their name. Nowadays car makers are really up against each other with new tech emerging faster than ever - newer models coming out in shorter spaces of time - we are really spoilt for choice. Now with the EV market growing we no longer to consider specs/problems related to IC engines. I do wonder if the very new lexus are "special and distinguished" in the same sense.
  18. Hi I would be very surprised if they are different Plenty of LS owners (including me) have bought from ebay and have not had any issues. Go for the autodoc ones
