Great tip, lexus parts direct are also competitive

As always depends on ones attitude towards risk. I pay £54 pm for an extended warranty plus cover which I believe to be an affordable "insurance like" cover. March 2025 will tell me how good my bet was. The major service is a big pill to swallow but Iridium plugs won't need another change for years so £1300 ish will give you cover for say two years unless something untowards happens in year two. Irrespective the HHC is a must have.

Extended Warranty Plus is still available to you. And the £59 hybrid check covers your battery for one year.

Sack the salesman I say 👏, what a waste of everyone's time and money! Yet another example of demonstrating misguided language claiming you are an entity referred to as a "customer" when in fact you are an impediment to their goals or a problem in other words!

This is the highest level of taxation in 70 years are you proposing to increase it even more to fund public sector demands? 🙁

Take a look at Terraclean, I had my XKR done a few years ago and it definitely lowered my emissions for the MOT.

Yes Brian, when I bought the car from Lexus Newcastle driving it back there was a noise from the rear bit like old bed springs! Derby identified it as delamination of bushes in the rear trailing arm assembly a very expensive fix that Newcastle should have covered under dealer warranty. After some backwards and forwards between Derby and Newcastle someone covered the cost not sure who but it was not me 😎

Quite correct Phil, had I needed a full service I would not have bothered but intermediate is acceptable. I have paid for a HHC last week which means that I have one in hand for 25/26. As this will be the 15th year I don't think Extended plus will be available so my decisions will be made for me.

Totally agree with you Brian, alongside the sensational Relax iniative it's time Lexus /Toyota introduced a service interval more attuned to today's ideals of, sustainability, waste reduction, reduced cost of consumption etc etc

Well it's been almost 3 years since I bought my RX and I have to say it's been a joy to own. It's been covered by a 3 year extended warranty and service package by Lexus Derby who have been absolutely fine. The warranty has been called upon three times, internal movement sensor, air con condenser and rear trailing arms. This more than justified the warranty investment. So based on this experience I have bought a one year Extended Plus Warranty payable in ten installments admin via TWG as usual. But at 93k and 13 years old it seems a a sensible risk as it represents £45 a month cost of ownership which I can well live with. But I have held back on renewing a service agreement as it offered an intermediate followed by a full? I just couldn't see the justication for a full service after say 3000 miles, throwing away Iridium plugs for example! I welcome LOC thoughts?

Years ago 👍

Just one more thought please.My daughter will shortly reach a monumental birthday one I personally thought I would never see as a callow youth but clearly did and am still here many years on! But what to buy her that's memorable and not sit in a drawer alongside the rest of watches, jewellery expensive pens etc? But a plate now that fits the bill in all sorts of ways , can't be lost or stolen, very personal and memorable every day . Better still it may even appreciate in value and can be passed on out side of IHT win win

Oddly enough just listened to ad for Volvo on Classic FM. Very attractive female Scandinavian voice, wonder why it wasn't Mandarin? 😎

Spectacular video, what a prized possession! But there's also shape. And after almost 24 years mine still shouts crikey! Well it does to me but then I'm biased but only massively 😎

More ho ho ho;read recently if you still have any crackers left 😎 A group of chess enthusiasts checked into a hotel after a large chess tournament. Rather than going straight to their rooms, the group stayed together in the lobby discussing the day’s events and their recent victories. After an hour, the manager of the hotel entered the lobby and asked them to disperse. “But why?” they asked. The manager answered, “Because I can’t stand chess nuts boasting in an open foyer.”

Ordered thank you 😎

Thanks Jon, where did you source them from please?

This is an interesting one, I can buy from the US site with no problem. I think it's worthwhile to ask for resolution ideas from Amazon. On the first enquiry you went through scripted first lines probably in the Philippines kindly ask your situation be escalated. Bearing in mind I suspect amazon are wary of any forms of money laundering even if way below £10k threshold

Shouldn't that be wine with an h? 😅, Merry Christmas to one and all and may 2024 give us many more opportunities to be thankful for what you have 🍷

I was with Tesco £340 last year new quote £620 😱went via Topcashback /confused/gocompare etc, best quote £444 via a broker called GoSkippy and cashback so sort of acceptable. Did the same with house insurance.

Me too 😛🍷😛🍷😜

The fundamental issue is there's far too much money trying to find a home. Try selling a George III mahogany writing bureau in Liberia for other than firewood. 🙁
