  1. Hi folks I’m looking to purchase a 2005 GS 300 and it appears that the standard E10 unleaded fuel is not compatible. I’ve spoken with the current owner and he’s adamant that he only uses standard unleaded and has not faced any issues with the engine/car. Can current GS 300 (2005 - 2007) owners please confirm? If standard unleaded is not compatible then I will have to rethink the purchase given super unleaded prices and practicability of finding super unleaded at most fuel stations. cheers
  2. Thanks both, that’s really helpful. I will research this further. It does seem quite involved and I’m not sure I feel comfortable doing this on my own! Cheers
  3. Hi guys. In a similar boat with a 2016 RX450h. Any recommendation for a CarPlay integration? I want to get this done professionally. Many thanks
  4. Hi all im planning on purchasing a 2016 rx450h premier and desperately require apple CarPlay integration. Are their any reliable integrations available? I would like to get this professionally installed. many thanks
  5. So no coverage for over 100k mileage cars even if under 10 years old? I’m hoping the 1 year hybrid warranty will still be available
  6. Intently watching this space for an update re the new essential servicing plans (tomorrow is 1 June !).
  7. I’ve managed to agree £10k for the car. Hopefully is a sensible price for the age and mileage. Will keep a bit aside for any unforeseen costs
  8. Thanks. I will likely go down the indi route if they stop essential servicing or don’t provide a sensible discount on the normal servicing cost. Can the hybrid check (and associated 1 year warranty) be done separate to general servicing as that it something I would still go to Lexus for. thanks
  9. Thanks. Yes Lexus Reading is my nearest dealership so will be going there. In terms of servicing did you opt for essential service given the car is over 5 years old? The full service costs, especially for a major service is £725 which is quite steep ! Presumably the extended warranty is not void if opting for essential service? Do you know how much Lexus Reading charge for an essential service as I couldn’t see an option for that when looking at their online booking system. many thanks
  10. Thanks. Are shock absorbers typically covered by the Lexus extended warranty? This apparently has one which I will just keep extending. At £46 /month it seems like a no brainer given it also includes comprehensive breakdown cover.
  11. Not quite sure what to make of your ‘silly’ comment. I was asking for opinions on the sound quality difference between the standard and ML sound system and whether it’s worth holding out for one which has the ML system , it has nothing to do with warranty. Anyway thanks for your input
  12. Many thanks all, very helpful. anyone have any experience of the standard sound system? This one unfortunately doesn’t come with the ML system or the wide screen but is good value for money given age/condition. I do like my music though ! thanks
  13. Hi all I'm looking into purchasing a 2013 GS450H with 150,000 miles on the clock. The car comes with full Lexus service history where it has been serviced every single year (including the hybrid battery health checks). 1 previous owner from new who did mainly motorway miles. no advisories on the MOT either. Overall condition of the car is excellent for the age and mileage. I'm a bit nervous about the high mileage but take comfort in the fact that a) it's a lexus and b) its been very well looked after and c) the hybird battery will be warranted for 15 years (provided I get it yearly serviced). Anything I need to look out for? I would expect this engine can do another 150k very easily provided it is well cared for. Thoughts? Many thanks
  14. It seems that this only works with the US version. There are a number of European members in that thread who, like me, are unable to access the hidden menu. Has anyone from the UK actually managed to get this to work? Cheers
