These are the words uttered by my son when we returned from a trip tp London yesterday.Pulling up on the driveway I opened the door to find smoke pouring out from under my car ( RX 300 - 15 months old - 8500 miles) the smell was appalling.
Upon investigation I found oil spread across the under side of the vehicle and splashed under the wheel arches.
There was no warning of this whilst driving down the M23 etc,no odd noises,no smell,no warning lights,no change in water temperature.
To say I am less than happy would be an understatement.Don't know I agee with my son's sentiments having owned two Mercedes but at least I didn't encounter a problem like this.
I don't want to drive the vehicle until I know what is wrong - engine oil level fine as is gearbox but the oil under the car and on driveway ( other half furious) is red.
Will contact Lexus Brighton tomorrow.I want the keys collected from my office, vehicle collected from my home - on a trailer if necessary -a loan car and someone's absolute assurance that engine/gearbox/whatever has not in anyway been damaged.
I will advise of how things go but my faith in what has thus far been a very enjoyable experience, has been shot to pieces.
