  1. I had only had my sc one week when I took it in for recall, got free health check, lovely coffees at reception, valeted, and a new ux courtesy car,felt like a lottery winner 🏆
  2. They were probably refering to your car when they said outstanding 👏 🤣
  3. See I do not sell rubbish and it never had leaves on it when I owned it😃 TBH I fitted those sensors they are dolphin ones as Bob describes, you do not need to to remove bumper to fit from memory there is a good length of wire and a little connector and each sensor just pushes in from outside the car then click connectors together I used the original buzzer🤩 Stew
  4. Well talking of going to Spain 🇪🇸 my brother has a home In Lanzarote and this is what my great nephew got for Christmas he is nearly 2 and I am not jealous in the least🫢 VID-20230903-WA0000.mp4
  5. If not you can get these off ebay around £20 but that was 3yrs ago so probably £200 now 😃
  6. https://www.carexporters.co.uk/usedcars/lexus/sc430/lexus-sc-430-4-3-6080.html?au_advert_id=36917515&au_car_id=19714315&utm_medium=referral&utm_source=autouncle_web It's only done 56000ft which works out at 10/11 miles🤪
  7. Unless you are David Beckham or have a company Lexus, I don't think anyone can afford £150+ per hour labour charges, I have a fault on my Rav 4 and 3 main dealers could not tell what the fault actually is!! I read of one person who had his car in a dealer for 5days before they discovered a loose connector on the ecu plug, we all love our Lexi and know they are special, but to a competent technician they are no different to work on than any other car! Just my opinion 🤷 Stew
  8. Thanks for giving clean engine a mention, while you have been thinking what to do next! I have been tinkering with my new, 11 Yr old Rav so far, fitted bonnet protector, resprayed wheels and calipers, added black centre caps and wheelnuts, carbon cill protectors, rear bumper ss protector , twin exhaust, mudflaps, invincible badges to sides, lanoguarded underneath there is more but cannot recall at the moment, forgive me its not a Lexus🤔
  9. From what little I understand its virtually always the rears you can inspect them yourself, even I managed to do that!!!
  10. No not unless someone gets legless over Christmas 🤐
  11. Boomer and Neil, I have found the front mats which match Boomers, rears, also I have found a pair of genuine rears black that would match Neil's fronts, if you want them send me your addresses (pm me) and I will post FOC, but might leave till after Christmas now🤔
  12. Thanks ever so much, I am afraid of taking it to toyota at£150+ per hour with an unidentified fault, 2 people seem to have cured this and eventually found a loose pin in one of the connectors it's not so much fixing it as identify where the fault is, I did ask on Rav4 forum but no replies
  13. Sorry try this https://carmats.co.uk/products/lexus-sc-coupe-2001-2009-car-mats
  14. Back to car mats https://images.app.goo.gl/VheAdf3Zy7DyQT42A
  15. Neil, do you mind if I ask you an off topic question? I now have a 2013 rav4 diesel, everything is good but.. this has keyless entry and start, when I turn the engine off, I get a warning saying check smart entry and start system!! I have asked 2 toyota technicians who say it's to do with stop/ start system! My car does not have stop start, I decided to have it diagnosed and fault code b2282 came up, this is something to do with speed cable does not match bean signal found someone who had similar turned out to be a loose pin on ecu connector block, toyota dealer took 5 days to discover this, so was wondering whether to take it to my local garage or would an auto electrician be a better idea, many many thanks Stew
