thanks for that Chris I have spoken to Bradley and Steve and i am going down monday to pick it up all being well they have assured me that all will be well and can walk away if it does not meet my needs he answered all my questions and seemed ok I know Most of them can be a bit smarmy but its the world we live in It does my heart good to know that forum members can help and offer advice to others if they need it. I shall take a few pics and if it runs as good as my SE L as i will be well pleased THanks one and all Robert

Thanks for that Shahpor yours and Nicks advice as been recieved most gladly I spoke to a gent called Alfie he seemed ok so i think i am going ahead with it Thanks again Robert Thanks

I will this will be my 4th Lexus if i take it up and all have been very good except the 55 Gs300 it used to rattle on start up but did not defract from how it run it was perfect apart from that but i look after all my cars and sometimes some people dont Bother and it sounds Nick like me you look after yours I think thats why they are so relable if looked after Thanks for the explanation Nick Robert

One further note how do i know if its the premier model or luxury is there a dead giveaway mine is a SE L and it says it on the door Jamb

I wanted black again but cream interior this fitted the bill i am going down to see it and i will do as you say get them to aggree i anything goes wrong take it to my local Lexus they know me very well Thanks again Shahpor for your input was recieved gladly Robert Thanks again

Thanks for that Shahpor i am obliged to you for your reply but i started to get a bit worried when you said it had been there a while so i checked DVLA it s tax run out in sept 2018 so it looks like it as been stood for nearly 6 month so i am a bit concerned Whats the matter with it and i would suspect the 12v battery would be nic nacked and if it has been looked at a few times the constant cold starts It looked really tasty in the advert and i have paid a holding deposit as well i am in two minds to abort it as i will have to drive from doncaster and i may be dissapointed if it doesnt come up to scratch the salesman said if there was anything wrong with it it would be put right in the workshop but to my mind it should have been done before going on display thats what we go to lexus for, for the quality and as you said you had a few issues my initial plan was to ask if i could take it to my local lexus at sheffield if a problem arose 195ml is a tramp to have a fault checked only to be told " Oh thats normal Sir" My 2010 Gs450 SE L as never rattled once on start up never but my previous gs300 did every morning for 3 years till i traded up to the 450 As you said Shahpor you had a few problems with them over your purchase so you have got me thinking do i keep the 450 i have got that looks perfect and runs flawlesly , it was just that i wanted to go upto the mk 4 being a bit more modern Once again mate many thanks Robert

the black one shahpor 64 it looks tasty but not seen it in the flesh . i have the 2010 one and its perfect but wanted to go up a few years is it in your neck of the woods if it is you couldnt have a quick look for me as i am in yorkshire was going to have run down on saturday thanks for replying robert

Thinking of changing my gs 450 to a later model ive seen advert for one at Lexus Sidcup its a fair tramp for me from Doncaster does anyone know Lexus Sidcup I would be obliged if you could give me any heads up on them. Is there anything i should watch out for on the mk4 i know theres calippers and Struts anything else . One point i noticed on advert it doesnt appear to have Exhaust tail pipes do the come through bumper TIA Robert

Well done Gavin peristance allways pays of in the end good result

Gavin ref listening to radio i do that regulary awaiing wife at hairdressers and never had a problem sat sometimes 45 min but are you putting gear into nuetral then switching of engine then park that way everything switches off except radio but if you watch dvds i suspect it will use more power but 60 min on radio would be ok and you said after run voltage only 12.5 i would say battery is on way out. Robert

Shapor That sounds Like the Direct Injection pump I had it on mine I put some Whins Fuel cleaner in and it got a lot quieter i suspect that you could maybe use Redex but have never used that in mine I then Got Lexus to fit me a Pump insulator and now you can hardly hear it at all Robert

Hi Shapor https://usedcars.lexus.co.uk/en/used-lexus/Lexus/GS-450h/35-Premier-hkbu4yr?utm_source=LexusOwnersClubUK&utm_medium=ForumLinks yes thats the one i believe they dont have the touch screen but a mouse gizmo are they ok to geton with Robert

Well I have been following this thread with a lot of intrest I have a gs 450 SE L and quite happy with it but this as got me hooked I think i fancy a Mk 4 I have seen one online at Lexus reading and am tempted to go and have a look but I keep thinking mine is in perfect condition and as never put a foot wrong all the time I have had it why change for the sake of it as it as all the toys except SR and ACC 1 As any one dealt with Reading and do they give a good Part Ex 2 Which is the Higher Spec Luxury or Premier the one there is Premier Thanks Robert

well done shahpor glad you have got it sorted nothing worse than something not working like you hope it should

Hi Shahpor sorry about that i thought that would have been the answer however i didhave a problem with my USB a couple of years ago i had a kingston memory stick and i cant recall exactly what it was but it didnt play correctly so i got a San Disk cruzer blade and that was perfect i have just took it out of car to check it puts all the albums up and the artists etc so i would have a look at that option as they are cheap as chips now Hope it goes alright for you mate Robert

are you sure that the files are mp3 if they came from itunes they are apple files whilst they will p;ay with the phone on bluetooth they WILL not play from a memory stick through USB they will have to be converted to either WMA or MP3 i have itunes now configured to convert to MP3 not AAC

britpus is correct it needs resetting keep the button pressed and it will open then let it run till the roof closes and then tilts it should then be ok i suspect windows are not one press either good luck HTH

also check fuel filler cap i had same problem on my old gs300 and a new cap cured the problem dont know why but it did courtsey of the US site

As a rider to that the music options are a lot better you can use a memory stick ,your phone and best of all the HDD when you insert a CD if it is not on the HDD it asks if you want to record it and you can get a lot of CDs on there Good luck with it my 450 runs superb had it nearly 3 years now and as never put a foot wrong with the exception of a rear caliper that was fitted FOC

I think its because they are low amp batteries

Just as a rider to this when i picked up the 450 he asked me to run it for about 300 ml then come back and we will check it out for you, but then went onto say "Have you let the 12vt battery get low as a fault showed up on the Hybrid and we cant issue a Hybrid Certificate we have cleared the fault " but says I I have never had a fault show he said im sure it will be ok but it makes me wonder if it was a historical code that was on before i got the car as i had to have the 12vt battery changed a couple of months after purchase of the car I have had it just over 2 years. Can it have a fault without it showing a code He never told me The DTC Number.

got good result they changed caliper for free but didnt get done till yesterday had ct200h for 4 days but glad to get back into mine

Well its Thursday and my Lexus is still at Sheffield said they are still awaiting the caliper to arrive what an experience this as been i bet i could have got one overnight wish i had now talk about "Amazing in Motion"

I think john you may be right in the past ive changed these items but was a little concerned of the car in case anything went wrong but i may buy the next from somewhere and l will get my local garage to do them as with the caliper i thought it would have to be bled with the techstream gizmo but thanks for repling Robert

Took the 450 in fo its service yesterday and to have the fuel pump insulator fitted(mine is a little noisy and one of the guys on here fitted one in a couple of minutes) i have the warranty but it had run out by four days but told them i need to renew it they said no problem . I received a phone call later saying the rear caliper is seized and will cost 195 for a new one we cant do it under warranty as it as just run out then went onto say your front pads need changing 145 then they said we cant fit the insulator yet as we need to take the fuel pipes of to fit it and we need fuel washers that we have to order to say i am p*** off is a understatement is this the price of calipers and brake pads wow what a rip off i am going to tell them to put the old caliper in boot and see how badly it is seized sorry for the rant Robert .
