I've finally got my windscreen replaced.

Everything was great. They said it would take 2.5 hours, but the guy fitted in one hour.

Everything is in the right place, sensors and heating working too.

I gave up fighting for an OEM one after reading your advice. 

So thank you guys!!!!

I finally got my Battery changed... again

One day I just stopped by to see somebody and then the car wouldn't start. It didn't accept the jump starter either... I couldn't even lock it...I was so angry...I just left it open and left.

My sister in law came after 5 hours and I started the engine with the cables. Next day I took it to Lexus ...they tested it again, kept it over the night and the following morning they saw the Battery was drained, so they replaced it. Now everything is back to normal 😉 

What is strange, when I replaced it in 2022 I paid only £150, now it was under warranty, but it was estimated on my bill at £300 🤔

Thank you guys for your advice! 🤗

How often do you drive your car, and how far? Potentially you may not be driving it enough for the car to recharge the battery.

You don't keep your key fob very near your car do you? If it is within communication distance it can consume more power (ideally you should keep your key far away and in a Faraday pouch to stop the risk of a relay theft attack).

I drive it 5 days to work, 6 miles each way + shopping/visiting over the weekend

The key, yes, I keep it in a pouch far from the car...

I thought I was the only one having problems with the Battery.

I purchased my Lexus in Oct 2021 and in January 2022, when it was cold outside, already started having problems when starting the engine. I purchased a new Battery (the year of the car is Nov. 2018) In January 2023 again, then even in October 2023 when there was no issue with cold weather. When going to Asda, I had to jump start the engine, from Asda again use the jump start as it didn't start, going to Matalan again using jump start. This January I took it to Lexus dealer (it's still in warranty) they said they needed to keep it for the night, to charge it, I have no idea...They said they didn't find any issue with the Battery.

Two days after I collected it started again. Don't know what else to do...

I've just spoken with Autoglass for the last 29 min, and they reassured me that even the non-OEM glass has the rain sensors and heating elements, they supply windscreens for the car dealers as well, ....

Still couldn't get in touch with my insurer to approve the OEM glass...😬

Hi guys,

I need to replace my Lexus windscreen as well, and the 1st windscreen ever.

When I told the guy from AutoGlass that I wanted a genuine one, he just pretended that didn't understand what I was talking about.

Are they bound to providing a genuine windscreen? Or whatever fits my car? How do I know that is genuine? Does it still have the Lexus logo as it has the present one at the bottom left corner?

I'm doing all my services, MOT's and all repairs with Lexus and I want to keep providing everything genuine...

Could you give some advice, please
