Does LBX stand for a "Load of B0110X"? For example, insurance quotes are a LBX. Maybe we could start a trend here, I'm sure Lexus Japan would love that. Might push them in to doing something positive.
So its cheaper to get the breakdown company to come out and charge me membership prices and no labour charges than Lexus to charge me top dollar plus labout.
New battery, guaranteed for 5 years, happy days.
What Lexus owners need to do is get together, use an RX as bait, and when the thieves appear, all jump out and ... (of course for legal purposes, I was going to say make a citizens arrest)
Thats not a bad price, I am estimating £200 a tyre. I got Yoko's on as winters as that was the only thing available and they do the job satisfactorily but the ride is too soft. People say the Bridgestone (summers) are too firm but I prefer that but the wet handling on them are average. May try the Goodyear but its an expensive mistake if I don't like the ride.
Its coming up to that time to swap the winters for the summers but this year I need to replace the set.
I don't want to put on all seasons like the CC2s. So started to compare the best options.
Has anyone tried the Goodyear Eagle F1 Asymmetric 3 SUV?
Currently or up to now I used the Bridgestone Duellers and I like the firm quiet ride I get, or at least compared to my soft winters.
Just wondering what people have and the experience in wet and dry, ride and noise.
Thanks
If the damage is minor, might as well leave it. At least the thieves will see someone had a go but its not worth the time and effort. Not the ideal solution but might make them move on to another one.
At least the plates work. Might be worth leaving the bumper for a bit, at least it tells other thieves the car is protected and they may leave it alone.
Try beating the £6K that Lexus Insurance quoted me.
Absolute sham when the manufacturers branded insurers won't insure their own vehicles.
Tells you a lot about how they see their customers.
Maybe a permanent sticker with "CanBus Protected" on the wheel arch?
I also think that having some windows stickers advertising a brand of security stopped them from doing any further damage and they gave up
Anyone know of any super hard bonding or resin that could be applied over the edge of the plastics (wheel arches and bumper gaps) to stop them inserting a tool in there in the first place? Just fill the gaps and they can't take them off.
It could be worse but I think anyone with an RX at the moment is looking at when, not if.
I would also advise RX owners not to keep anything in the car that would be a pain to replace.
So yet another suspected attempt on an RX.
Not going into details on security but IMHO:
- The plates that Lexus fit do work
- Put additional security into the car. You are spending tens of thousands already. Don't cheapskate on it.
- Save up and put away some funds for a new bumper. Anyone know the cost to replace a bumper, Parts and Labour?
