I am also in a mountain village above Sion. Will be doing the Furka Pass for my glacier fix. Walked on ice today on my 6 hour hike above the treeline and could see the slightly rubbish Wildhorn Glacier.

View from balcony this eve.

Highest flea market in Switzerland today. Getting a shudder on heavy braking. Disks?
-
Today.
-
First effort not the best. Will try for greater next time.
-
Photographic challenge is to beat this one I did in the Saab a few years ago.
-
Stopped for three toilet breaks. Whole idea was to avoid catching anything in France as we are here for rest of the month. Set off from near Brighton at 7am and arrived in the Valais at 9:30pm

650 miles in one day in the gs450h. Seats were pretty comfortable. Roof box deducts 15% from fuel economy. Only managed 30mpg but mostly on motorways at 80. Will post some pictures soon to make you all hate me.

I know a guy who paid £1500 for a 2007 gs450h because it had a "failed" battery pack. I think that is at the extreme end of bargaining. -
Which is exactly why a gen 3 450h should be bought. The faff and ongoing expense as these tpms systems age is something to consider.

Bought a 2009 one. Had a weeping radiator. New OEM one cost £450. Also needed exhaust work at back end. £600 for y section and boxes in stainless. TPMS is not an MOT fail so ignore it.

One of my fobs will be £50 delivered. I had a spare that got lost in the post for two weeks. Bought two extras and then original turned up! You would have to send it off to be deprogrammed IF it is correct for your car
-
I successfully cleared a used keyfob (£10) and then used Techstream (£40) to reprogram for my car. Still have to get the new blade (£5) cut. I have two spare fobs but they may be different from yours.
-
There seems to be a 20 minute timer in the tpms software. When I clear my TPMS fault code it will always ping back after 20 mins driving. (I need to find id codes for my senders)
-
Hybrid yearly Lexus health check should be done to get a guaranteed 15 year life from it. About £60ish. Another 8 years at £60 is cheaper than one new battery. I used a main dealer for my 100k service and feel they did not try to rip me off.
-
Off to the garage again today. Powerflow stainless back boxes added. Saw the fabricator do a little dance under the car as he surveyed his handiwork!
-
Battery is fine.....until you see notification that it isn't. Take it on a long drive and see some bright green to cheer you up.
-
If I had space I would have it for spares.
-
Bought my GS450h from London. I assume many were sold in the times when it was exempt. Not too damaged from a life on the urban streets. Obviously it is now cossetted in a garage in the sticks. Used to live in Guildford and still work there.
-
Again. State of the art in 2007 is state of the Ark in 2020. Use TomTom on mine. Tried to stick it on big screen but not as secure as window.
-
That only bloody worked! Got a beep when setting after that procedure. Thank you that man!
-
Mine worked, and then stopped working. After I had exhaust welding work done and battery was disconnected.
-
Whoever buys this....presume you will rent out to other Gs450h owners?
