    The drive back should have given you all the info you need on the traction battery....as long as you were obsessing over the state of charge screen. Battery should have gone into green fully charged state at least a couple of times.

    You have to pay Lexus £60 for the check, then if it passes you get a years warranty on traction battery until car is 15.

    Wheels tend to be scabby. Welcome to the GS450h fan club.

    MOT history suggests that back exhaust boxes have been replaced. Good. Also rear dampers replaced. Very good. Only downside is the weather today in West Sussex.
  5. Mossypossy
    Probably close to a good price. Should get a wee bit off if you wave cash at them. Would offer £4250 as is. £4750 if they put MOT on it.

    If you are going to return car to finance company anyway and there is no penalty for not servicing, then save some money. Fastidious FSH only useful if privately selling, or benefit to next owner.

    After a lot of research I have deduced that it cannot be deleted. You either spend £££s to eliminate warning light, or live with it. Choices then are aftermarket monitor that uses valve caps (£30-£100) or good old fashioned tyre gauge reader. Thought I was onto a relatively easy solution in reading the TPMS codes when tyres were off for new ones, in order to input via Techstream, however some senders were already aftermarket and had no code written on them.

    Had mine a year now. Often go two or three weeks between use and so far has fired up every time. I do keep it in a garage without the immobilizer set as that will drain 12v a little.

    Facelift ditches the cassette player! And has blingy chrome grille. Agreed that price is very good for a car with only 40k miles.

    I think highest spec gets wooden steering wheel, cooled seats and radar adaptive cruise. Sunroof was deleted for lower spec after 2010 I think.

    Price is on the high side if it were for sale in the UK. I paid £5600 for my 2009 privately a year ago. Would expect to pay £6000 ish for those miles, maybe a little more if service history is good. If serviced annually at a Lexus garage the battery pack will be guaranteed until it is 15 years old.
  12. Mossypossy
    So there is no reason why the Lexus one is three times the price?

    I have managed to temporarily clear warning lights by doing initialisation. Warning light comes back on after 20 miles/ minutes driving. I would have thought you would get same result. As for external code readers at tyre fitting places. Many different readers needed to cover all TPMS systems, lucky if a garage has one that can read yours.

    Latest version of Techstream will not allow TPMS programming. You have to revert to earlier version. Not sure of which ones but this is what I found. Definitely locate the under glove box switch for winter tyres first. That will be the simple solution.
  15. Mossypossy
    I thought if you had a set of winter tyres programmed to system then Techstream would show 8 ID codes registered in memory.

    Not a fail on a pre 2012 car My light was not even noted on the MOT sheet
  17. Mossypossy
    Unless you are a bit OCD then I would ignore the tpms light and buy an aftermarket monitoring system for about £30.

    Not sure about the Wikipedia info here, with regards your car. "The GS 450h retains its position as the most expensive in the GS lineup, and has faster acceleration than the GS 460, though the GS 460 is lighter and has a higher top speed."

    I would have thought best mod would be in the exhaust department if it has still got original (rusting) setup. Would enhance the growl. Grove Garage in Brighton would provide a sound track solution. Jealous of your boot space though.

    Low mpg at big motorway speed will have nothing to do with traction battery I would have thought, as it will barely be used. I got 28mpg with a roof box on a 500 mile motorway journey at those speeds.
  21. Mossypossy
    Only applies to cars less than 10 years old as far as I can see.
  22. Mossypossy
    Add automatic gearbox into the equation. Turned off my traction control, put it into sport mode, floored it on a (safe) wet corner and still did not lose traction. Don't think I am missing any ponies either. Maybe my idea of flooring it is too subtle. If I wanted to crash I could simply drive into a ditch.

    Was born in Darwen. The words "Darwen" and "Lexus" in the same sentence strike me as massively incongruous.
  24. Mossypossy
    On reflection was probably an accurate price. I paid £5600 one year ago for same age car. At the time there was £1000 difference for every year older the car was. So mine will now be actually worth less than £5000 to the casual buyer.
  25. Mossypossy
    £4700 was a bargain price really.
