V9FOS

well guys just to keep you all informed. i've been to see citizens advice today and then onwards to my solicitor with all the information i've got and they both will take on this case.. but to top it all off completley i've been in touch with top gear.bbc. who are very interested in the lexus saga and will quite happly feature my vehicle along with the AA to determine how the lexus is not all it's made up to be.. good luck lexus gb...

hi.. well i,ve been on the phone to lexus gb all day and they are saying that even though the cam belt has caused the damage then it,s not there responsibility as the car is out of warranty and the service book that tells you that the belt should be changed every 100.000 miles is only a guide and is not a guarantee that it won,t break before that... how wrong is that statement when it,s in black and white.. does anyone think i have a case against them?????

hi yes in the end i did get a refund on the stereo which took a while.. lexus have checked the timing and say it is out but they don,t know how it,s happened and need to strip the head down to check whats happened and the damage caused.. does anyone know if the pistons can be damaged if the valves touch

oh sorry im glad that,s all you have to worry about... your not really interested in helping people... you are just a .... well say no more

Hes having a rant so hes entitled to. :P V9FOS,If your car was serviced at 90k then they surly they should of picked up on this. Good luck. ← WELL YOU WOULD THINK SO WOULDN,T YOU.. BUT THEY SAY THIS IS THE 1ST IS 200 IT HAS HAPPENED TO... TYPICAL Y SHOULD IT BE MINE.. I,VE ONLY HAD THE CAR 2 YEARS AND THE STEREO COST ME APPROX £400 TO BE REPAIRED AND THE IGNITION BARREL JAMMED AT THE COST OFF £342.00 AND IT IS SERVICED AT ALL THE SPECIFIED TIMES... WHEN WILL LEXUS ACCEPT SOME SORT OF LIABILITY???

THE BELT HAS NEVER BEEN CHANGED OR TAMPERED WITH AS LEXUS SAY IT WILL BE FINE TILL 100.00.THE CAR IS NOT AT THAT POINT AND THE CAR WAS ONLY SERVICED 5.000 MILES AGO. SO BY RIGHTS IT SHOULD NOT SLIP THROUGH BEING STRETCHED OR SNAP CAUSE OF 2 MANY MILES AS IT WAS SET BY LEXUS AT FACTORY.. SALE OF GOODS RIGHTS SAY IT,S COVERED UNDER WARRANTY

THANK YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP.. I WILL PUT SOME PRESSURE ON LEXUS TOMORROW.. YOU HAVE AND EVERYBODY ON THIS SITE BEEN A GREAT HELP.. IF LEXUS FAIL ME THEN I WILL HAVE THAT ENGINE OFF YOU IF THATS OK???? THANKS SCOTT

HI THAT SOUNDS OK.. WILL YOU FIT IT FOR THAT PRICE 2???
