Essex chelle

Got car back on Friday total cost including diagnosis was £460.

Thanks but too late Westfield now working on her, £530 inc labour new lexus alternator (which was actually cheaper than other makes) and the diagnostic. I'm still bit concerned though, they had it on charge overnight got it to 13v ran the car for 20 mins then turned off left for 20 mins and checked battery and it was reading 10v. Me I thinking the battery is naff now that we have damaged it by letting it go completey flat and then bump starting. What do u think?

Well they wont be getting nout outta me as ive got the flipping alternator to now spend out on.

Well confirmed its alternator - great!!!!!! In Westfield now till Tuesday so the clio it is for bit longer.

My daughter went to turkey to work for the summer back in June, and being the good mum I am I took over her car financial commitments to help her out, it seems the best thing was for me to drive about her little Clio, so I SORN the lexus when the tax ran out in July and popped her away, the car was started regular but not taken for any drives obviously coz of the SORN. I then broke my leg, so the car was definitely not used. Daughter is home on Friday, leg is healed, tax is on car - car is dead :( Tow truck just taken her away to car hospital fingers crossed it's not the alternator.

Thank you for replying, I've still not taken mine because I broke my leg as not been able to drive! Must get it booked in as soon as I got my current breakdown situation sorted!!!!

Well done - who wants a boring Beemer lol. Happy driving bet its gonna cost a bit though driving back to France lol x

Hello, does look very nice in red. I hardly see any sc on the road, but never seen a red one :).

Car flat as anything, called out green flag whom come an hour ago tried to jump start, car started but it's not holding charge, man thinks its alternator, however Westfield lexus specialist whom we always use have said its very unlikely to be the alternator but they gonna check it out, so the wait now for tow truck to take the car to them, battery was new in feb, but we have had the car stored a lot of the summer in the garage.

Oops thats because ive posted the wrong letter lol

Strange just noticed its dated April 2013 yet I received it last month.

Copy of my letter

The letter is from vosa and there is a recall cos it says it has to he taken in to lexus for inspection ofcthe passenger airbag.

I have Avon non run flats fitted to the front will soon be replacing back ones to the same. Had them on my other car and always been happy with them.
