Well I've managed to set the car clock to GMT. General settings, select Daylight Saving to 'off'. Watched the dash clock whizz backwards and the job's a good un.

When I had my series 3 I managed to geta set of genuine Lexus beige rubber over mats. They were fantastic quality, much nicer than the Lexus rubber mats in my series 4

From experience with a silver gen3 car work to a door will require most of the side of the car repainting to lose the repair.

Well I knew this morning that winter was on the way. The classic welcome to cold weather Lexus style was the TPMS light on.

I was talking to an acquaintance last week who is a nuclear engineer for Eon. He was telling me that he wouldn't buy electric cars despite being able to get free electricity for car was part of a package from his employer. He said every time he's wanted to use a pool car they're always being charged so unavailable at midday. He was working at Hinckley Point for a few months and had a company BMW one series to use...

Hi Barry. Who did you deal with in Cheltenham Service. I have always found them very fair to deal with and on more than one occasion when the technician has recommended work the service advisor has recommended waiting. On my last car the technician recommended front brakes but the advisor said to pop in after a further 5000 miles to check them. Sorry to hear you had such a nasty shock.

The answer would be no from what I understand. My understanding is that you probably wouldn't need to get the whole lot of cells replaced in one go just the failed ones.

I run Windows 10 on 2 laptops and a desktop. My thinkpad yoga x1 is about 4years old and very fast with i7 chip and 16mb ram. My desktop is a dell refurbished unit with xeon quad core E3 processor 32 gb ram an nvidia graphics card. Fantastically fast boot up and very fast overall. I use it for heavyweight photo processing in Adobe Lightroom where it breezes the processing I have got a 200mb fibre cable broadband from Virgin which clearly helps

I had Primacy 4's on my 2015 GS300h and cross climates on my last RX450h. Primacy 4's were fantastic even in snow on the GS. I would personally stick with cross climates as they are fantastic. I recently put them on my wife's Fiat 500 and they have transformed that. I am so peed off they don't do them in the size for my current RX....

Probably neither as I would rather have a premier 2 years older, save shed loads of cash on purchase price and VEL. I am rather biased though 😂😂

You won't regret the change. I started with the IS300h and when I switched to the GS300h the difference in build quality was amazing. The economy on the GS is almost as good as IS with a lot more refinement. Enjoy 👍

Don't forget if a gold member they will give you 15% discount off the service

Hurrah. Rang Cheltenham Lexus and spoke to Mike Harris in service. Took the car in and he fixed it straight away FOC. Fantastic service, am well impressed. Apparently this is not an uncommon occurance. Access is gained by unclipping the end of the dash.

Jumped in the car this morning and cracked my knee against the far end of the dashboard -the corner beyond coin holder. After a brief moment of pain thought nothing of it. Suddenly I realised that there was a new hole in the dashboard where the Heated steering wheel and front camera switch panel should be. They are now residing inside the dashboard with no way of retrieving them and seemingly no way of accessing the panel from underneath or behind. Can only think that they weren't properly fixed in the first place and the jolt from my knee on the end of the dashboard allowed them to fall in..... Call to Cheltenham Lexus in the morning required. Hopefully covered by warranty

I guess so my gen 4 Premier has adjustable non air suspension which firms up the ride in sport or custom mode.

My 1990 Mercedes 190e only had one rear foglamp but the wiring and bulb holder was present on the nearside so I just had to fit a bulb. My 1997 Audi A4 Quattro Avant had the wiring and bulb holder but I had to cut some plastic to install the bulb. That was a £38000 car back then so things haven't changed

Is it under an extended warranty? If not I would just do the essential service.

I've just come back from Scotland to Gloucester in mine. On Tuesday in all the bad weather I travelled the 205 miles from Masham in Yorkshire. Drove at 70mph on cruise most of the way fully laden. Filled up in Masham and then in Gloucester. My average mpg was 38.07mpg. Very impressed so with your car being similar age you can look forward to great economy

Ride on 19 inch wheels should be fine. Tyres are probably the issue. My 2015 RX450h was great on Michelin Cross Climates on the standard 19 inch wheels.

Best thing is to order online I have found. Very comprehensive selection there

You have the trade in price so why not hit the 💯

Lexus charged me for the gen 3 car less than £300 all in for front discs and pads with owners club discount.

I know I used to get mine serviced by Robin Lamb in Gloucester. Steve Winwood and Richard Ashcroft both use him rather than the Main Dealer. Great guy who I knew from when I dealt with M J Warner in Gloucester before Mercedes booted out the decent local dealers around 2002

My absolute worst car was a 1976 Austin Allegro. Cylinder head gasket at 700 miles, paint falling off the side, upholstery falling apart, in the garage for 6 weeks in the first 12 months. Replaced with a mk2 Escort which is currently showing as SORN. 1990 Vauxhall Cavalier Sri was reliable but was reshelled by Vauxhall when 7months old due to rust. 2014 current shape Mini Cooper diesel - the last time I bought new. Absolute disaster, dreadful fuel consumption despite having updated software. Collision avoidance system randomly trying to kill me by seeing a phantom head on collision. Final straw was a steering failure with no parts available and bodywork damage caused by recovery. BMW customer non service made me go to Mercedes after 6 months of unhappiness.
