    This will maybe do the same job for a tenner? https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/373513923889

    Ooh don't tempt me! Can't actually think of any car I would want to replace it with. Maybe a Porsche.

    What we need is a software genius. My son does serious coding for medical robots but I doubt he could "unlock" the potential.

    Not sure it is as simple as adding the two potential horsepowers together. Will be delivering max bhp at different speeds. Obviously I would love to be proved wrong and have 483bhp!
  5. Mossypossy
    Not a huge job for a decent mechanic. Even easier if he has done it before on this car.

    Had my GS with a sunroof for a year now. Have used the sunroof ONCE!
  7. Mossypossy
    Battery can be fully charged in a few miles, yes. Don't expect good mpg for a 3 mile commute though.

    Would not bother me in the least.
  9. Mossypossy
    But will the LS give you 36mpg day in day out?
  10. Mossypossy
    Mine had 94000 when I bought it. Also has a sunroof and is black on black.
  11. Mossypossy
    Had mine for a year now. Battery has been absolutely fine so far. Check the exhaust back boxes for corrosion or they drop off.

    Get a 2009 one and you are good until 2024 with the battery. Get Lexus to check for £60 and if it passes check you are covered. Main things to consider failing. Shocks. Exhaust. TPMS will probably be iffy and alloys may need a good refurb. Car is a joy though.

    Attempting to drive a GS450h on pure electric should only be for occasional novelty value. Car is not really designed for sole electric use, rather as a fuel/battery combo. Use petrol to get yourself up to sub 50mph cruising speed and then back off the pedal to encourage the battery to take over. If you try to use electric from a standstill you may get two miles max out of a fully charged battery by driving very gingerly. Still only get 32mpg in winter and 36 in summer.

    Not got cooled seats. Good miles on it and looks well looked after. Any car with 4 decent matched tyres is usually good. No sun roof though. If you are taller than 6 foot it is useful to have extra headroom with sunroof cover pulled back.

    Keep Lexus servicing until hybrid warranty dies at 15 years old. Then you are on your own.

    Lincolnshire to Leicestershire must be close enough. How can you resist?
  17. Mossypossy
    Think you need the Ford Forum.
  18. Mossypossy
    Not in GS450h they can't.
  19. Mossypossy
    Having had large capacity Saab hatchbacks prior to gs450h, it is a niggle but I can always put on the roof bars. To get 38mpg out of a family car that does a sub 6 second 0-60 is a hard ask. Something has to give!

    Last gorgeous Rover was c1976 as far as I remember.
  21. Mossypossy
    I came from Saab too. 25 years of them. Mostly 9000s. I think Lexus is the natural progression. A 2009 Lexus is way ahead of a 2009 Saab. Only gripe with GS450h is lack of boot space. You thought 9-5 seats were good? 9000 Aero seats were even better. Lexus seats are probably as good as the Aero ones. Only had mine a year and costs are normal age related ones like exhaust and radiator. Can't have a ten year old car at 10% original purchase price without some expenses.
  22. Mossypossy
    Got SRD to change my radiator. I know James who works there. Lee had a hybrid LS as his own car last time I was there. Very good bunch of guys.
  23. Mossypossy
    Have you heard of SRD Tuning near Haywards Heath? Specialise in Japanese performance, including fast Lexus.

    In the morning it will always fire up the engine until the oils etc are warmed. After that it will not need to fire up if the battery has enough oomph. Bear in mind you can only drive a mile or so on pure electric at low speeds. To access the Energy Monitor, press the “INFO” button located on the left edge of the display. On the touch screen that appears, touch the “Trip Information” button

    There is your excuse for another drive, officer.
