Thank you all so much for your replies. The dad called me back and advised that they are insured with Churchill who have advised them that they will cover thrid party (us) but not their own car. They will open a claim and we will do the same. I have realised that all approved repairers for lexus are not lexus or toyota themselves: https://www.itassystems.com/lexusnetwork When you say go with a claims management firm, I still need to first speak with my insurer first right?

just found out they don't have MOT., will this invalid their insurance

Thank you, but what if my insurance doesn't have lexus on the approved repairer? Would I have a choice? thank you

thank you spock66, many years ago, we had an accident (not at fault) and yet it still affect our premiums so I can only assume this rule continues. I guess I still need to try to get a quote privately to show the other party that I have tried before forcing them to go down the insurance route. What would be the best way to get a quote, lexus dealer? https://www.uswitch.com/car-insurance/car-insurance-drivers-with-non-fault-claims/#:~:text=Unfortunately%2C in many cases a,for two non-fault claims.

@nemisisuk we own the car outright

thank you @Spock66 If we go through insurance would our insurer know that it needs to be a lexus approved repairer? And why do you say we need to go to Lexus approved body shop? just curious, does it affect warranty? there seems to 2 users of approved. 1. Lexus approved body shop & 2. approved garages by insurer. Which are you referring to?

Hi All, as we were approaching a round about, a car hit us from behind and caused a bit of damage to us rear bumper (cracked), 1 sensor missing and the side bottom deflector cracked. We are all okay. The person at fault was 18 years old and I spoke with his dad earlier and they would prefer to sort it out privately (I am aware even though we are not at fault our premiums would increase for the next 5 years) so would also prefer this option if viable. Neve had this before, so do we need to go to lexus for the repair or a body shop? What are the pros and cons of each? Many thanks. *We own the car outright and is less than a year old

thank you, so why do I get the display stating 20miles range left when there is still 8lts left!, puzzled

The source is US based for US gallons = 49.96 lts

Does anyone know the exact size of the fuel tank. google suggest it is 50 lt (13.2 gallons) but when the range is showing at 20miles left, I can only fill up 42lts. Do we have a small tank size here in the UK? Thanks

It's without adaptive speed, so a constant speed

Each time i switch on the engine, I have to press 5 buttons before I can set cruise control. FIrst the cruise control button, then adjust the distance (3 presses), and finally the set button. Is there a memory feature for say the distance setting so skip 3 presses or something like that? Some cars, allow you to preset the distance, thank you

Am I right in thinking this method (CAN bus system), is done on the passenger side front bumper. If so, can one not park the front side up against a wall, or can they access the CAn bus system on the driver side? All the video's (about 4) are always on the passenger side). THanks

Thank you. Just had a quick look at Halfords online, they don't stock it which seem strange. Found it on amazon for 1 lt = £33.99! https://www.amazon.co.uk/Genuine-Toyota-Advanced-Economy-0888084081/dp/B09X5SWNLJ/ref=pd_lpo_sccl_3/262-8594493-1923347?pd_rd_w=buepk&content-id=amzn1.sym.efc89c20-c5a9-4620-b6cd-2f4e51bac956&pf_rd_p=efc89c20-c5a9-4620-b6cd-2f4e51bac956&pf_rd_r=A7Q2E7M6CNF5QP7YMJMD&pd_rd_wg=Ks4vF&pd_rd_r=7bf31ce3-e200-45d0-a43e-203a5258bbbb&pd_rd_i=B09X5SWNLJ&psc=1 Eurocarparts selling MObil for £14.49 https://www.eurocarparts.com/search/521779432?gclid=Cj0KCQjwpPKiBhDvARIsACn-gzAswAMw0nB8Bwd2OQEaSGwAagnjswgH9_MAPrEmEZfcGRg_XVOKUh0aApJ3EALw_wcB

Thank you for your reply. We are planning a trip to France soon and I recall on a number of occasions that the oil light came up on our cars so thought it would be good to put a lt of the correct oil in the boot, just in case.
