  1. Missed this topic and only caught up after I had reinsured my RX450h. My current insurers quoted a price of £519 ( increase of £200) Cheapest online price was £367 which was still a big increase in my mind. I then rang Adrian Flux who had always been nearly the most competitive previously but not quite there. After a lot of negotiating I managed to get a price of £275. Now I didn't expect that. To not only renew it but at a cheaper price than last years premium. Full marks to Adrian Flux. Now we will see if they can match it next year or I have to look around yet again ( although I always check a number of quotes anyway)
  2. Thanks for that Peter. I have managed to get a quote from Halford at £127 fitted which is a better price
  3. I need to replace the 12 volt battery on my Rx450H. Before I do so I would appreciate any suggestions from members as to the best place to source the battery as Lexus have quoted me £316-40p + £23.52 fitting which I think is a bit steep.
  4. I note the seatbelt sign was flashing. Also that it was orange in colour instead of the usual red. The orange colour indicates that the seat belt needs resetting or servicing. The sound is just bringing the fault to your attention. Suggest call in to your dealer.
  5. had a look on ebay and could not find it. Maybe its been sold out. Do you have the link?
  6. Nice to hear. Anyone else driving any older/high mileage RXs? On the USA owners websites they are into the 250k -300k mileages with no problems.
  7. Anyone seen/tried this OBD which supposedly temporarily remaps ECU to be more power/fuel saver efficient. I am skeptical but it would be nice to hear others views
  8. Hi Chris I met the same challenge when I first obtained my SE-L. The way I looked at it the audio hard drive is only 10 GB whereas I found that pen drive sticks (I am now using 128 GB0 were far easier to load up and plug into the USB port.
  9. I thought I would copy the details below; Battery Life Extenders UK Price ——————————————— £550 fitted!!* Vehicle fitment guide.* Lexus GS 450h – all models Lexus CT 200h – all models Toyota Prius – all models Honda Civic – all models * I can adapt my Life Extender to suit other makes & models please e-mail me to discuss your requirements at :-enquiries@hybridbatterysolutions.co.uk What does a Life Extender do? My Life Extender does exactly that, extends useful life of your battery pack beyond the normal life that was originally intended by the manufacturer – often by years. Using normal domestic mains electricity It cleverly & carefully conditions your hybrid battery pack. Will it fully restore my pack ? The Life Extender is not as good as renewing all the individual cells in the whole battery pack (battery packs contain between 120 and 240 individual very expensive cells) however, in the majority of cases a significant improvement in capacity and fuel economy together with warning light cancellation is noticeable after use. How often will I need to use it? How often depends how deteriorated your pack is. (Usually once every 1 or 2 months) How long does it take? Between 12 & 24 hours depending on model. What will it cost me to run The cost in electricity (dependant on your suppliers’ tariff) is very small typically between 50p & £2 Is it dangerous & will it harm my battery pack? No! – I thoroughly test all units as I build them & again before installation. Proper use can only benefit your battery pack. Is it easy to use? It really couldn’t be easier, just open the boot – plug in the two leads that I have installed into the control box, plug the control box into the mains & wait.
  10. While I was looking at the http://www.hybridbatterysolutions.co.uk/prices-and-services/?utm_source=LexusOwnersClubUK&utm_medium=ForumLinks site I noticed a link to their installing/using a hybrid battery extender system to enhance/extend the life of the battery packs. Has anyone any experience of having these installed and any comments please.Amongst the comments from the website is that improved the MPG significantly
  11. Occasionally I check the USA Lexus Owners website and they do a lot of miles (understandable). A lot of them have done over 150k to 200k miles with no problems with the batteries.
  12. Early days but mine have been in for a year since purchase. One in use and one spare. I do not expect much has been drained from the batteries as I never use the key to lock/inlock the car/boot. I always use the drivers door handle to unlock and the button on the boot lid to lock.
