  1. As DavidCM suggests it is in the manual. The button is up besides the internal mirror, and you press after switching off the vehicle
  2. When I was 18/19 four of us would go out on a Friday night with 10 shillings each in our pockets (50p in modern money). Each bought a round 4 pints at 1s 8p = 6s 6p Entry to dance 2s 6p Fish and chips on way home 1s Total 10s But we were only being paid something like £3 a week
  3. Thats 10% in one year. What was increase from 2022 to 2023?
  4. Used Platehunters.com. Whole process start to finish was perfect
  5. Sorry for delay in replying. Previously I had aRx400 and like you say The disc player ( I believe it was 6) was in the boot. The 2013 Rx 450 uses the single cd unit in the dash and takes the dealer about 2hours to load the full 5 discs.. Lexus Nottingham had to see my vehicle to ensure they ordered correct version, I do not think the usb stick option is available on early Rx 450's. At least I was not offered it. Hope that helps
  6. Sorry my mistake - I should have referenced Inflation at 2% not Interest rates
  7. The BOE is tasked with keeping interest around 2% - but they permitted it to go well into double figures - so to be bragging it is now over double the accepted rate is pathetic. Moan over!!!!
  8. Has anyone done an analysis of cost/benefit between the Lexus 10 year warranty and the Motoreasy option?
  9. I believe it has to be placed on a right hand drive vehicle (UK) in front of the driver ie. right side. The reference to passenger side is more likely for a left hand drive vehicle (France) which would be the right side. I have placed mine at the bottom right hand corner of my windscreen - next to to the German equivilant "Plakette Umweltzone"
  10. We have been travelling regularly to Europe over many years with our Lexus. In the early years we always saw several Lexus on the road on a daily basis, but during our last trip not a single Lexus was seen. In 2007 we parked in Kaprun, Austria and on returning to the Rx400h found an identical Romanian registered Lexus next to ours in a otherwise empty carpark - must have felt safe and cosy next to ours. Anyone else noticed the recent decline in Lexus in europe?
  11. Maybe you were lucky or possibly did not enter any the cities that require the Crit'air to be displayed All cars pollute irrespective of were they are registered
  12. Its the one's who display "GB or UK" on the rear of their cars who are the most troublesome
  13. I was getting concerned about the possible three weeks postal time, but like you I went on official Govt website which I found straight forward easy and helpful especially the drop down box linking our V5 sections to their relevant sections to be answered on the website form. Only hiccup was the box titled "Mark" which should have been "Make" as the answer was Lexus The email receipt has arrived and like you say can be printed and covers until the original arrives in the post. Top marks to the French for getting it right as there was no need for me to be unduly worried.
  14. The more I search on the internet the more it looks like you can only purchase via Govt website - even if live in France - and its posted to your address on the V5
  15. I searched on lots of sites and before I emailed both Calais and Dunkerque Toyota dealerships but had no reply. I have Lexus breakdown service.
  16. We are shortly going to France with Lexus Rx450h and I find I need a Crit'air Sticker to drive in some of the towns and cities we are visiting. First problem, is on the Official Government website there is no Hybrid/Petrol classification only plug-in Hybrid. Also cannot find if I can purchase at a dealers or Govt office once in France. It is now too late to buy from Official website as post could be three weeks. Does anyone know if it is possible to visit a Toyota or Lexus Dealer with V5 documents and buy the Crit'air sticker over the counter?. In Germany we visited a Lexus dealer and was sorted with no problems. Any suggestions and/or advice welcome
  17. I really liked the catchall phrase "coincided with the war in Ukraine"
  18. Suggest you have a look, you maybe surprised and find a ZX7 which will match the other three. Problem solved
  19. John, Point well taken about no win-no fee and the small print. What is the difference between a Claims Management Company and a Loss Assessor?
  20. Thanks Piers, Malcolm and Andrew for your input but I am reluctant to involve Complaints and Legal departments from the same Company - "if they are all paid from the same pot, they will all sing from the same song sheet". I have done a bit more Googling and apparently, I need the assistance of a Loss Assessor NOT a Loss Adjuster.
  21. I recall in the past year a member had a problem with their Insurance company over the valuation of their write off vehicle. One of suggestions proposed was the assistance of a Specialist Company that would take up the case and negotiate with the Insurance company on their behalf. I have tried searching for the information on here but have been unsuccessful. My problem is slightly different but still an Insurance Claim, I have submitted a Household Insurance Claim but am feeling a bit ignored and that my problem is not been totally accepted. Therefore, can any member point me in the right area where I can find the original content, and in fact do these Specialist companies also help with House Insurance Claims Many thanks in advance
  22. In the 70's they were the universal taxi of East Africa and even though only eight seater regularly carried 16 people. I remember one taxi ride with four of us in the front and I was immediately behind the steering wheel - the driver was hung half out the window. How else was he going to make a living.
  23. It was known for its University when I was a lad!!
