If you look on eBay a company fits a new quality bearing to air suspension strut £85 plus £10 postage, you send just the top mount, company called Orchard Engineering, I have replaced an air suspension top bearing myself but it involves grinding the metal off that holds the bearing in place and making a new large washer type of thing and welding it in place I found it not too difficult (the bearing is rolled into position during manufacture designed not to be replaced) I do not know why Lexus do not supply the top bearing separate as it is easy to swap over, the actual bearing is about £5 for a good quality one from any bearing supplier the part number is on the bearing when removed.

I am a old geezer 67, grumpy as well says my wife and my nickname does me proud, I think North Norfolk is a low insurance area Broadlands is the is one of the lowest crime areas in the UK.

My RX450h is around £270 a year with breakdown cover.

I think you will find the NSF tyre will always wear more as we do more right hand turns, ie roundabouts, the body load and force is transferred to the nearside when turning right wearing the tyre more.

The unit under the drivers seat is DVD but plays a single CD also, I believe fitted by Lexus in the UK on SE-L models, I had to replace my DVD unit as faulty, it had Lexus sticker on the front of the metal drop down cover, as did the screens but were third party supplied with no manufacturer details on unit, this also had a remote control and a a pair of headphones.

Hi Russell the DVD player is under the drivers seat, access from the rear, pulldown flap then you will see the DVD player

I am sorry I did not explain myself correctly, I have a Lexus boot mat already, I meant a boot liner for the sides of the boot and rear of seats for protection when my dogs are wet and muddy.

Hello, can anyone recommend a boot liner for the Rx450h, I have been looking but can't make up my mind which one to get

I plan to take out the extended warranty well worth it for peace of mind, but it is annoying as you say paid twice for a years cover, never mind enjoying the Lexus.

Heard back today from Customer Relations, unfortunately they say as I bought the car from a dealer and not from a private sale they cannot transfer the Warranty, although I cannot see what difference it makes.

I have been in touch with Lexus Customer relations today, awaiting their reply

Hi John it was in the extended warranty explanation FAQ's the part you referred to: Is a LexusCare Extended Warranty transferable? Yes, the LexusCare Extended Warranty are fully transferable if the person to whom you sell or give the Protected Vehicle does not buy, sell or repair cars by way of business. For a 25 fee, a new owner can enjoy the same benefits if you decide to sell your car during the warranty’s lifetime – giving a genuine boost to the car’s resale value.

Called Lexus Aftercare Warranty they will not transfer remaining 13 months warranty as I purchased a car from a dealer, so anyone buying a used Lexus beware warranty NOT transferable as they state in their guidelines.

Hi John, I will give them a call tomorrow, thanks for info, will keep fingers crossed.

I will give it a go, thanks
