  1. Hi all Just got told I need to replace a failing AC condenser...Not an urgent repair for me - can anybody guide me on costs here? My understanding is that AC units are not special (i.e. a competent mechanic should be able to fit a Toyota) - pls correct me if I am wrong here thanks!
  2. You can actually visit the Toyota factory in Japan where they make the Crown and Lexus GS Production is a process where small errors can compound - the Japanese factory is immaculate - I could see a Japanese produced Lexus being superior
  3. Looking to tap the collective wisdom of Team Lexus We are moving to a semi-detached house in West London W3 - the area is generally safe but suffers from car theft, petty theft and is near a main street The house has a backyard, sideyard and private car drive so plenty of places to jump fences and the street does not have CCTV I am looking for recommendation for a home security / alarm system Ideally, the system would contain motion sensors (inside), motion lights/cameras for outside and a decent remote monitoring system (app) Budget ideally under 2k gbp with minimal ongoing service charges On a thumbsuck, I would look at Banham, Yale, Ring, Simplisafe systems Thanks in advance!

  5. Hi, I am looking for a solicitor recommendation for a house purchase in West London (W5/W3/W13) Thanks in advance!
  6. A/C was weak over the summer - I've owned it 2 yrs now - I dont see an urgent need for AC given the seasons More than a bit disappointed in the pricing behaviour - I think I need to find another main dealer
  7. Hi all Just got the hard sell from a Lexus dealer at 150gbp - no clue if this is fair value or not? Quite a sales pitch which makes me skeptical - thanks in advance Cheers
  8. Hi all I have a 2013 gs250 with 87k miles - the dealer wants to do a 100k service based on age Good idea or too early? The car sees maybe 1500 miles a yr Thanks!
  9. one thing - the road tax aint cheap on these w 209g on emissions - may want to consider a 450h or 300h over the long-term - this is coming from a gs250 owner
  10. Sounds cherry - you want a car that doesn't sit for long periods of time - 40k for a 2012 is really low - any accidents?
  11. Hi all This is not Lexus-related but I need a couple of recommendations for a homeowners policy for West London I am looking for an insurer for homeowners coverage with the possibilty to add auto later - looking for a reputable insurer who actually pays out without too many gotchas in the T&Cs Better to go directly to the insurer or through a broker? All advice welcome! Cheers
  12. Hoping to join your club when used GS-F hit 25k in private sales....until then v6 it is
  13. So I've got the new TPMS seated - how do I actually program the TPMS to read with the system? The local mechanic has no clue Thanks in advance!

  15. Hi all Hopefully a tip for others who will have this problem The online place (Fish brothers) ship the TPMS without a metal sleeve (this sleeve sits between your alloy rim and the sensor itself). My sleeve was corroded and cracked and the local mechanic had to make a plan Can anybody source a part number for this sleeve? Much appreciated! Inserting generic pics - 1st one has a sleeve and the 2nd doesnt
  16. Thought this might be a fun topic - Assume you live within the M25 - Budget of 10k GBP or less - Reasonable bang for buck (4 doors, crashability, driving experience, running costs, insurance, MOT, road tax)
  17. Linking you to a breaker on ebay - bit of a ***** but good Lexus selection https://www.ebay.co.uk/usr/carparts4u.online?_trksid=p2047675.m3561.l2559
  18. all fair - the tyres are newish like 2-3 yrs old with less than 20k - good tread Next time I am in the US I will pick up more TPMS pre-emptively My local charges 20 quid to re-rim and bead / check the tyre Death by a thousand small services
