At the end of the day it's down to the driver. If you feel nervous when answering a phonecall while driving then you aren't confident in your ability, so don't do it. If you don't feel nervous (and have blackened glass so no-one can see you no your mobile) then talk away. Seriously, I nearly always answer my phone and always make sure it's handy before I start driving so I don't need to faff around looking for it while I'm driving. When I get a call I don't even need to look at the phone to answer it or hang up. My input. Cheers, be safe.

I thinkit's one of the sexiest things I've ever seen....apart from the wife :D Like the look of those gadets too! Chars all.

Oh sorry Star. Please accept my apologies as I too have had the stones in the sponge treatment over the wheel arch during a courtesy wash. I have an eye for blemishes and although the dealership has tried to cover up the damage I can notice still. I hope this doesn't de-value my vehicle for when I trade it back to them....

I'd suggest trying these guys. http://www.autotechnicschichester.co.uk Can't promise anything but they are dealers of chips. Ask for Barry he knows about everything race. Cheers. :zee:

Hello again, To be totally honest, I am completely amazed!!! I purchased a Lexus OVER a Beemer or Merc for 2 main reasons (personal reasons I might add) 1) I'm sick of the site of BMW's and Merc's (and the reputation of being a comlpete t*sser) 2) The Lexus service is meant to be 2nd to none I thought we'd have no probs but we've had probs from day 1. 1) The car feels like it drifts around the road but apparently this is normal. 2) A knocking from front right corner which was fixed after 3 visits to the garage but has come back again. Lexus said this was a brakepad bracket rattling but there's no way it was. I could feel movement up the wheel usually when I reversed on full left lock onto my driveway. 3) Engine not starting first tmie. This was put down to a dodgey key fob of all things but it's happened once in the last 6 months since usnig the new fob which is much less than 2 - 3 times per week. Those are my main concerns really. I must say that when I've had a service they have been superb and always given my car a once over with polish etc and cleaned the inside. This is when I feel their service is fantastic but is it because I'm paynig for the service? Cheers.

Hi, Recently my IS200 was involved in a fairly low speed spin which resulted in damage along the entire left seal, passenger door, left wing, front bumper damage (grill) and scratching ALL over from overhanging trees. (it wasn't me ) Anyway, I put a claim in as I'm obviously fully comp and sent if off to my local Lexus dealership with their own bodywork and paint shops. I was expecting a hastle free excellent job and was told they'd have my car for 10 working days. 5 working days later I get a phonecall saying my car is ready. I was shocked as it only took half the time to repair. When I went to pick the car up it was apparent that the job only took half the time to repair due to it only being HALF REPAIRED. They hadn't touched the bumper, the wheel in the boot that was mashed up in the accident, there was a dent "inside" the passenger door that couldn't have happened during the crash (insurance guys words - probably happened while they were re-skinning the door), scratches all over the car still, plastic trim on new wing was the old bit so it's dangling off and one of the most annoying things.....loads and loads of cutting back paste residue coating the entire interior of the car and INSIDE the vents, etc. Obviously I was quite upset with this kind of service. They have my car at the moment and I am preying for their sake that it's back to factory condition just like before the accident. Has anyone else been treated like this or do I just have sucker written across my forehead? Cheers for any comments and sorry for the length of the post.
