Got these wheels spare, if you’re interested. only used for s couple of months while I got my Lexus wheels refurbished. Make me an offer, they’re just sitting in the garage, as I don’t have a Lexus anymore. collect from Blackpool.

Still got these but no Lexus to put them on. 18x8 like new. They will fit other Japanese cars too, Honda, Nissan, etc.

I’ve got these spare if you’re interested.

If all else fails, I have this set spare. As excellent condition. Make me an offer.

Thanks for the replies but this all happened 5 years ago. I traded the car last month for a 2016 Jeep Grand Cherokee, which is currently at the dealers being sorted. They must see me coming. 🙂

Got lots of those. 🙂

If all else fails I have a nice set of wheels spare.

The holes at inner and outer are different sizes. I hammered them out, firmly but with care, then opened up all the holes to the same size.

It's remarkable how little people know about these cars. My neighbour suggested I may need to change my alternator and didn't understand when I told him there wasn't one. He looked at me as though I was stupid, when I also mentioned there was no conventional starter motor either. 🙂

So it would appear.

Car started with no problems as soon as I connected the spare battery. I then took it on a twenty miles drive to charge the battery, yes even with a broken leg. I don't have a plaster cast, just nuts, bolts, plates and screws. 🙂 So alls well that ends well.

I often leave my GS450h for a month or more but I recently broke my leg which has left me house bound for two months, plus it had already stood for a couple of weeks, so ten weeks in all. Yesterday I hauled myself the half mile (on crutches) to my power less garage. The battery had little life, the doors unlocked but the car won't start. Warning lights are on and off in no sensible order. I think I managed to turn everything off but the car will not lock. I then tried to jump it from a booster pack but still no joy. I'm currently charging a spare full sized battery. I hope I can jump it with no permanent damage. Wish me luck.

I forgot, I did replace the rear calipers but they were cheap enough. Lexus Bolton sold me a cheap set of pattern ones but they came in Toyota boxes just the same. Lexus also told me the rear shock absorbers needed changing but it's passed two MOTs since, without a mention.

I have had an 08 for 5 years and it’s just cost service, mot and petrol

I think that may be an option, that I don't have. 🙂
