  1. Little bit of poetic justice on my cambelt change , lexus garage phoned today Hello Mr blackaller I see you've cancelled any particular reason sir . Yes I said you've priced yourselves out of the market by £430 and you wasn't even going to collect or deliver , oh well if you need us at any point don't hesitate I chuckled and said thankyou
  2. No idea basically its not the easiest form of communicating I've come across . I use Facebook regularly and messenger also texting and have never had issues.
  3. Well I've made a few calls and I ended up booking with another garage to the tune of £680 all in and they will collect and return if necessary. So lexus can go swivel
  4. Yea totally agree but the garage that I normally trust cannot do the job because of special tools needed so not alot of choice
  5. I've been in touch with local lexus dealers and first of all they booked it in for cambelt 795 Inc and after asking a few questions I realised waterpump was not included. So on the phone I got answer was well its not necessary to replace waterpump everytime. I'm not happy , so suggesting that it's the norm to replace all while apart . Answer I got was we will do that for you sir , oh good that's better . The cost will be 400 + it take an extra 1.5 hrs so total being 1100 quid . MORTIFIED is the word
  6. what is the usual costing for acambelt and waterpump replacement . local lexus garage is trying to tie me down to a morgage lol regards Les
  7. Gimmick just like auto lights on makes other motorists think you are flashing them. On the lighter side buy a cheap car hire a chauffeur he'll do it all for you
  8. The car weigh approximately 2 tonnes it's a sedate luxury Suv with permanent all wheel drive so it's not going to growl past other motorists on A roads you may find a little better performance by using the power button along with turning of the traction control or sell it and by a sc430
  9. Well here's something I've never come accross parked the Sc on the drive locked it with fob got into house sat down then the alarm went off so I did the usual you know doors boot window bonnet sat down and off it goes so same routine plus roof sat down off it goes I'm angry now funny kicking the tyres never works. Ok Google why's my f in lexus doing this sends me to forum on here check mobile phone in centre console out to the car and guess what!tablet on back seat set alarm no problem woohoo
  10. Just a few thoughts came to mind after reading a lot about fuel economy and driving a lexus. If people are spending tens of thousands of pounds on these cars and then worry about miles per gallon buy a smart car if you haven't already. I can't afford tens of thousands but I'm sure I'm not going to sit and worry about what my V8 sc is consuming I'm just going to drive it and enjoy it
  11. Absolutely make sure you leave quarter tank of fuel then your safe quite logical really lol
  12. Don't trust fuel gauges especially in hot weather get a taxi home and get your wallet or borrow a tenner
  13. Are you with a recovery service AA or RAC just make sure you have a good recovery service if you intend on taking your car
