    A good test that and glad your car is healthy again. I test drove an IS 220D a few years ago and it was gutless, I walked away even tho it looked spotless. I reckon somebody bought a car with a seriously clogged DPF.

    Crikey, that sounds 'challenging'. Well done getting it reset tho 👍

    Welcome to the forum, good luck with your quest. Are you sure about Lexus Cambridge not offering discount as they should according to the info here. I've seen from other threads that not everyone at the dealership may be aware of the club discount, so perhaps you just need to persevere?

    Now we wait...

    Welcome to the forum, it's good to hear that you were so taken with your early GS that you bought another 👍 I'm working towards acquiring my first 😁

    Well done purchasing a vehicle that satisfied your requirements. Let us know how the inspection goes.

    You confirmed my thoughts about GV08. Sure does look like she's in need of some TLC. Keeping looking, once you see a car in person you tend to get a good overall impression pretty quickly. Good luck.

    Modern adhesive tapes are impressive

    What a review, I'll probably have to re-read it again in order to take it all in. Enjoy the motor tho, it looks great.

    Unlucky breaking the tabs, it's cold at the moment tho and plastic tends to become less pliable and brittle in the cold.

    Welcome, what did you drive before?

    It did snow very briefly here this morning but now it's brightened up, is still windy tho. Bummed that I'm now to work instead of having a day off

    Scratch that, the dealer just called to say the weather is dodgy up there. They also need the garage to check over the tyre pressure sensors. It's located in the hills. The threat of some pesky white stuff brings the country to a halt (again). We have commitments this weekend, so now won't be able to go over till a week Saturday :(

    Yes. We looked at several last weekend and even to a new listing on Monday, many were rope-y but the £7,777 car was top drawer. Just the peppered bonnet let it down and if the rest of the paintwork is in as good as nick as it looked (it was a wet day) then I'm tempted to get the bonnet brought up to the same level. It drove really well on our short test drive and we have a longer test lined up in the morning.

    Got my ducks lined up and I hope to pickup a car tomorrow, pending final inspection/test drive 😎

    Sikaflex/Tigerseal/etc is brilliant stuff for but kinda permanent. Messy too! Looking forward to seeing it installed.
  18. Farqui
    Smart, well done. Where did you source a sample to mould from? When will you install on the vehicle? How do you intend to secure it?

    Had a good look around some GS300, GS450H's and an RX hybrid for good measure today. The GS hybrid boot is tiny but by golly the car drives like nothing else we've ever piloted. So after careful consideration I think we can forgive it the odd foyble. I think i'm well and truely hooked, even the Mrs was impressed #surprised

    Fantastic, its rewarding to find a cheap DIY solution.

    Ooh, good to some recommendation from the Wembley dealer. Hehe, yes the MOT notes can be very telling about a cars history...a handy tool.
  22. Farqui
    Yes, the first ad at £7777 stood out because of that...all with the same dealer. Hopefully the Bolton lot know what they're doing LOL Average mileage for the year, looks to be worth a visit that one.
  23. Farqui
    Excellent, thank you. This kind of support is why forums are a great resource.

    All 450H's 08 SE-L 130k £5480 private sale that looks well cared for. It has more miles than I'd prefer and I'm not a fan of the wooden wheel either (not a deal breaker) http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201612170663368?logcode=visc 08 SE 90k £7777 FDSH, 1 owner, alloys look good as does the overall condition http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201611300217561?logcode=visc 09 SE 80k £8680 with rear entertainment, in London tho which makes me wonder if it's all town driving http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201610218996510?logcode=visc 08 SE-L 72k £6950 has a fair mileage and price but the alloys look shot and the rear interior looks quite worn, woody wheel again #sigh http://www.autotrader.co.uk/classified/advert/201611230018967?logcode=visc Your thoughts folks?

    Hi John, good to hear that it's rated and capable of towing. Most towbar use will be a cycle rack but I occasionally tow a car trailer. Shocks are pricey but I'm happy to fit them myself, I've fitted and twiddled with coilovers before.
