  1. I now have a nice black rx400h Se-L and its by far the best car ive ever owned. Now i understand that this model is fully loaded, but im wondering if there where any other extras you can buy or have fitted? Ive looked for paper work but cant find any. I know my Supra had a list of extras ranging from watches to bike racks!
  2. I probably didnt explain to well. An Iphone wont allow contacts to move over via bluetooth. The phone itself is linked fine. I need to manually input a few numbers she has that i dont. Worse case i i will have to put them into my phone and transfer them
  3. Yes indeed, 9 years after driving the 400h i now own one. I have synced all my contacts to the cars phone book, however my wifes Iphone wont sync, due to its crappy system Can you input contact by hand if so how? Ive tried everything and cant seem to do it. Thanks people
  4. Well i agreed to buy the car today, Its a cracker, the dealer will do a full service inc cambelt, and refurb the alloy wheels as i paid the screen price, also fresh MOT and anything it needs to pass. This one was much cleaner, all the bits where they should be all the extras working well, remote headsets, the whole lot. Just have to wait a week to be able to pick it up
  5. Also, i have seen two types of rear dvd players? Ones mounted in the headrests, and ones that a mounted on a long bit of plastic?
  6. Thanks for some more pointers guys! Yeah im going up sat to view it, thats a handy tip about covering the light sensor, i guessed auto dimming wouldn't be fun to replace, The car in question is a 2006, Se-l with full service history. 1 year full warranty, and i told them i would want the cam belt done as its coming up to 10 years old. Its black and beige.
  7. More tracking down, i got the job number and details about the change, a phone call to the lexus dealership confirmed they would have changed the fluid at the same time. All looking good for this one, just got to go up and see it next week. I would like to thank you guys for the warm welcome and advise thus far. I cant wait to get one, i test drove a 400h when it was brand new at lexus and fell in love with it, however at the time i was younger and running my supra so just couldn't afford it, however im now older the mrs uses the 4x4 and i still have the supra but i can now justify 10k on a car of this caliber
  8. A second view and ive back out, the dvd headrests where missing? the wires where all there but the headrests are normal stock?!?! The warranty covered £1000 of work. So no hybrid cover. If i wasnt so far away then getting hold of the old owner would have been an option. I have now found another one, 65k on the clock £9500 (inc sorento) But it has a full service, refurbed alloys, and they are willing to carry out the 10 year service for me, Also a 1 year warranty to the value of the car. The other good thing is that 4000 miles ago it went in for its inverter recall. This is going to sound very stupid but i trust they would have to change the fluid when they did the change?
  9. I have slept on it and im going to pass on this one. The no history in 10 years and the warranty only covering 1k worth of repairs has put me off. ON the look out for a more suitable one
  10. I have a feeling the car was serviced but the book lost, they said it went in for a recall and had a date for it, i will try and find out what that was. It was a one owner car, from the middle of london, Who buys a 45k car and does not service it? It was just the camera, he claimed it hadnt done it before, but who knows. I told him that was a deal breaker if it wasn't fixed, The rest of the touch screen worked great I will get under it and take a look see. been offered a warranty but only for 3 months with 1k limit, not alot of use at all. The car has front and rear parking sensors? along with the camera. I thought it odd, is it possible this is aftermarket? hence my strange button. Thanks for the swift reply.
  11. Hello all. I need to pick your brains before i buy a 400h. 05 plate from a local non main dealership I have found and test drove on today, its only covered 36k miles! with all the old MOTS to back it up. However there is little or no service history. Its also been sat for 5 months at a local garage. Now its priced well with trade in on my sorento at 8k. I have knocked £500 off to cover the lexus 100k/10 year service. Now with such low miles will that have affected the Hybrid battery's? or will sitting for that length of time hurt them? Also i found a button next to the headlight washers that had no markings on it, when pressed it set a beep off, i have not seen it before and have no idea what it does. They have agreed to a new 12v battery as the one in it isnt the best, a new bit of trim on the rear window, and the parking camera was flicking in and out. Just need to know if there is anything major i should be looking out for and the hybrid system questions above. Thanks very much
