Thanks, I'll look for stickers or engine marking 1st  great idea 🙂 and 🤞. If it has, I wonder if on failure Lexus fitted a better steel gasket?

I am lovin the Lexus drive, look and technology on an 07 plate that seem to lead by leaps and bounds in techno, and using thinner wire and 48v control was a genie in a lamp. ( bt used 50v low amps on lines for many years with bad wire and great success ) 

Thanks for advice, I will TLC the car until I've saved for repairs or replacement  as never want to be with one again.

Brill thanks Steve. I'll wait until my V5 arrives in a few day then . 

Hey, thanks for welcome :D. 

I have read about  issues on headgasket and egr , dpf on this forum and will TLC as much necessary. 

Not sure if engine replaced?. I have 3 lexus services amongst normal ones  but no mention of engine replacement. Could I phone lexus to find out?

Hello Craig and welcome to the LOC.

Hopefully the reason why the engine is so clean is that Lexus have fitted a replacement, the warranty was extended up to 107,000 miles I understand.

Keep a careful eye on the fluid levels and EGR maintenance and if you only tend to drive locally give it a good high speed run on a monthly basis to keep the DPF regenerated.

Hey. Cant believe this cars stability,  drive, comfort, temperamental start. It's by far the best car I have ever owned. And my best was a 520d 06, which cost nearly 2k in turbo and sensor  breakdowns. 

My garage inspected the engine for headgasket and stuff and said the only thing strange was how immaculate the engine was :), 1900£ full service history 104000 on clock. Sold my peugoet 206 1.6 which I now noticeably was complete ignored in, to this dream car where I get more looks than the mona lisa... well maybe not quite lolz.
