  1. i've an A5 Quattro and its not a Lexus for certain what i like is :- heated seats, illuminated front cup holders and giving it back
  2. would the ball joints off a bonnet strut be useable as you can get them in different threads m6,m8 & m10 https://www.ebay.co.uk/i/121954943010?chn=ps&norover=1&mkevt=1&mkrid=710-134428-41853-0&mkcid=2&itemid=121954943010&targetid=938486033460&device=c&mktype=pla&googleloc=9046500&poi=&campaignid=10195651343&mkgroupid=103308028793&rlsatarget=pla-938486033460&abcId=1145985&merchantid=114888573&gclid=CjwKCAjw_Y_8BRBiEiwA5MCBJoUEdsq0Til1XLYPmUf51IvtOa6h9oJExTaV-bOQHtr2FY5GPZP0HRoCplgQAvD_BwE
  3. An Update today i received a text message from the repairers telling me the repair has now been approved by the insurance company and the parts will now be ordered for my car.
  4. yeah all of the lexus cars i have had since 2013 have been so smooth & quiet 1 x CT 2 x IS300h 1 x Gs300h i was expecting something better from Audi
  5. in a bad way,its noisy,harsh ride, hard seats,you can feel each gear change and features i have become used to having like rear camera lumber support , decent audio , the heated seats are good and i like the illuminated cup holders but thats the end of the positives
  6. my car is at the garage for repair, just from looking at it about £6500 to repair i have a courtesy car off enterprise its a 69 plate A5 Quattro 4.0 tdi all i can say is its definately not like a lexus.
  7. he had his son in the front seat he was about 6 / 7 years of age there was no sign writing on the van so it may of been a privately owned van
  8. yes it is sonic titanium fingers crossed it will be a good match only time will tell.
  9. my car is off to the bodyshop tomorrow afternoon hopefully they wont have my car too long, the body shop i have chosen repairs merseyside police vehicles so hopefully the repairs will be good, i then rang enterprise to let them know when i'd need a courtesy car from, Aviva hadn't informed enterprise i needed one so i've been getting the courtesy car sorted this afternoon.
  10. dont forget it has gone from warm weather to colder weather over the last few weeks so this maybe the reason 3 of your tyre pressures have dropped and are similar psi's using a spray like the one i mentioned your wheel can stay on the car for the testing
  11. i've used products like this in the past and they are really good at identifiying leaks as the solution is clingy and you get a mass of bubbles very quickly to find the source easily https://www.toolstation.com/action-can-ld-90-gas-leak-detector/p65456?utm_source=googleshopping&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=googleshoppingfeed&gclid=Cj0KCQjw5eX7BRDQARIsAMhYLP8H_zh2ygz3cfcsZ-t3yfoKNJef3O4zQQu9ETJHQFS76qDC1GGDp1caAh1DEALw_wcB
  12. i think mercedes uses the same autopilot system as tesla as the tesla system doesn't see jacknifed lorries across the road
  13. i have made another streetview image to hopefully help the insurance you can see roughly where i was on the road and how speed and aqua planning would of had him slide into the side me when he came off the slip road the road markings lead straight into my lane.
  14. only me in the car and he admitted it was his fault to me but not to my insurance company my insurance company said i'll probably have a 5 series or an E class , just rub some salt into my wounds with an mercedes plaster
  15. thanks for your comments the GS is a sturdy old bus , on impact it was a gentle sway in true lexus style but the bang was loud i think the mercedes came off a slip travelling too fast or they where in the left hand lane and realised they should of been in the middle lane moved across and hit me. the white line is the path i was taking
  16. this afternoon i had a mercedes van go into the side of me i was quiet shaken by the incident here are some photos rear quarter, rear passenger door dented, front passenger door scratched rear light cracked.
  17. in 35yrs of driving i have never come across a set of wipers with 2 park positions i've been to the car and tried it and your correct it does move. many thanks
  18. thanks to all of you for your help i'd never of guessed you could of moved the arms like this being able to move the arm like that is a first for me
  19. is there an easy way to change the wiper blades on a 66 plate GS when i lift the arm it hits the bonnet even with the bonnet open its not much better any advice would be great thanks
  20. not a cat in hells chance of lexus providing a lifetime update for the sat nav. lexus will charge circa £150 for an update, if your nav is on a micro sd card then you can buy them off satnav web sites and update the system yourself, if not its a dealer upgrade sorry
  21. once they hook it up to the aircon machine it will remove all gases and oil check for a leak by applying a vacuum and then refill both automatically it should only take about 1hr
  22. 3 weeks ago i test drove a GS450h on a 63 plate 36000 miles and to be honest the returned mpg was far better than expected and not much worse than the 300h version i have now combined round town & motorway i probably had a 20 mile test drive and the car averaged 42.9 mpg i had a bit more to spend and still wasnt much choice i think 7 cars in a 100 mile radius i bought my gs from lexus sheffield that was an 86 mile drive each way for me its either there arent a lot of GS's on the road or they are so good you dont want to sell them
  23. i recently had an IS300h F sport on a 17 plate and part ex'd it for a 66 plate GS300h all beit an executive model , i've now had it for 2 weeks and love it , the only thing i dont like is the interior lighting even though its led its still quiet dim i am trying to see if i can change it for something brighter. test drive both cars before you buy thats my only advice i am sure you will buy one of the models
  24. here is a link for you i know its from an Audi forum but they are giving there opinion of the auto upgrade https://www.audi-sport.net/xf/threads/dtuk-tcu-gearbox-flash-review.379005/
  25. on the web site there is a live chat you could use if you speak to Andrew he is the owner of the company
