Boo

Hi All, Looking for a CT200h, preferrably 2014 with a bit of kit like auto dimming mirrors, HID, satnav heated seats, camera. Thank you

Can confirm it is quite common at main dealers (dont know about Lexus though). They do it especially towards the end to meet targets along with other immoral practices. Unlikely to be missed off as the parts department will get an automated picking list of whatever the car needs for that particular service. Technician will also have a similar thing when they collect the parts ready for the service plus they know if they are working on a car that is full service, a pollen will be included etc. Usually give it a couple of bangs or the airhose to dislodge larger particles. Easy to get away with.

Funny that this is mentioned as a few days ago I was thinking a similar thing. The lexus is the only car where i can have the seat comfortably set where I can lean against the head rest (eg. long motorway run) and still be comfortably driving without the head slightly angled upwards like on all other cars Ive driven. However never experienced pain on neck whatever car

Most of these main dealer car washers are contractors and depending on their contract sometimes they are paid per hour plus per vehicle hence they accidentally do not see the do not wash signs. They are paid pretty poorly on the whole and equipment is usually just adequate. Cloths, sponges etc will not be clean and will be gritty. At busy dealers they work dam hard and definitely do not have the time and experience to wash a car properly. Don't expect too much as it is afterall just a courtesy wash.

Saw a new red RX and a gen 2 black GS on the drive in Essex the other day, couldn't stop staring whilst driving past. Sure it is someone on here, stunningly beautiful in the sun and the way it was parked. Just want to tell you wow. 😊

its worth exactly £10k... be there in 1hr to clear her out of the way for you 😂

The Legend is very nice but I think the LS is quite a bit superior. However the Accord im looking for is a dirty 4 pot diesel😂

Hi All, I was wondering whether anyone on here has a well looked after Honda Accord Type S 2.2 i-dtec that they may think about selling? If so, feel free to send me a message. Thank you I know this is not a Lexus so not sure whether it is allowed, please delete if not acceptable.

ooooo, i saw these and bought some (can't remember what flavour though - yellowy box)

More of a temporary fix but seach the bay for neck pillow support car or something, also cheap. It is for attaching to the head rest but they were great for back pain if you just lean back on it in a position that suits you. The bone shaped ones were ideal due to the size and way the shape moulds to your back. Feel for your lady.

Most similar. A very german scene type wheel. If you want similar, try the above, compomotive TH, ronal turbo etc

One thing I would say is the tyres make a huge difference on this car. Try and go for some comfort orientated tyres, changes the car completely, you will enjoy it so much more. If it still has the OEM Bridgestone S001. It will give a weird feel going over potholes and crevices. Not sure how to describe it but it feels rather heavy, harsh, inappropriate and tiresome. However they are really good at corner gripping but how often will you throw it through corners like that? Probably not that often. You end up weaving about on the road to avoid the imperfections. Any sporty tyre also gives this weird feel albeit to a lesser degree. Good luck GTE hunting.

Used to drive a lot fo these for work. Firstly 28miles? Normal driving is around 20. Highest is around 25 in summer in perfect conditions and no aircon etc (not easily achieved). Winter, faster driving etc around 15. Car does feel a little heavy but it feels heavy low down centre of gravity. It has enough pick and go. Fairly comfortable but there were always thuds and funny noises coming from transmission, engine etc. The passat was much better in this area and more comfortable, isolated etc. Quite a few recalls regarding batteries and connecting parts and I think some pump, just make sure these are done. Uneven tyre wear due to the way the car is set up I think, and it likes to chew them up. Some people compared it to a gti, not even close. Well not in the fun driving factor. I cant remember exactly but 80mph electric alone? Think engine came in a lot sooner than that. Great for around town, short journeys etc. Hope that helps.

Surely they are not charging £40 for 1x halogen high beam bulb??? What are they? H1, H7? 8) im assuming is the sidelight What is 7) bulb kit then?

Thanks Upex, i was confused because they are charging about £65 for 4) and £40 for 5).Surely the halogen high beam isnt £40?

Hi All, I need a complete headlight set. Ive been given part numbers but i cant find anything online for either genuine oe parts or non genuine ones. Can someone direct me? Dealer is requesting £1000 for: 1) 81107-30D31 COMPUTER SUB-A (is this the ballast?) 2) 81185 -30B91 LENS (will get from dealer as similar pricing on used ones on ebay anyway) 3) 81165-30B91 PLATE 4) 90981-YZZCC D4S HID 42V35W 5) 90981 -13066 BULB 6) 90075-60026 SOCKET & WIRE 7) 90981-YZZBP BULB KIT 8) 99132-YZZBA BULB 12V 5W I know where to get cheaper bulbs but the rest i cant find anywhere. What is 4)? Found some cheap computer ballast about £50 on ebay but are all ballast the same? Lexus wants £300+. On ebay tThey say it is suitable for gs but the fitment compatible number is slightly different to the part number given by Lexus. Can someone please advise asap as need lighting at this time of year. Thank you very much

I jsut had a call around and the best price is coming in at £200 a corner which is a little more than i wanted to pay, i was hoping for somewhere around 150 give or take. i cant seem o find a cheap online place that stocks them so ended up calling local tyre places. also some research on net showed that these tyeres are initially quiet but fter 12k or so, the noise comes back, not sure what people meant but i am thinking coz it is initiially so quiet that any extra noise that comes in at 12k they think it is loud but still quiet cmpared to other tyres?

yeah i saw these but i couldnt find them on mytyres or any other cheapish tyre supplier, have u ahd experience of these first hand? and u know where i can get these cheap? thanks One member here put them on a series II GS and was pleased with them. I do know they are expensive and not many places stock them. Other manufacturers also do comfort tyres if the Yokos are too expensive. right i really want these yoko db ones now but i cant find anywhere that has them and if they do they are not in 245/40/18 which i want to keep that way. any ideas guys?

Oh yeah I remember you, glad you're happy with the GS - we ended giving up on them both and got a CLS, which has been excellent so far :) Yep the asymmetrics are the replacement for the directional GSD3s, so prob better off going for the newer tyre. I was on SP Sport 9000s and the difference between the two is amazing, so if you're happy with those you'll be pleasantly surprised :winky: cls? good choice, i had a quick look into that but after my required options it came to 50k. plus i couldnt resist all teh gadgets that came with the gs, i got teh merc price list and added everything that the gs had and it came to about 9-10k i would ahve to spend extra on the merc to get he same gadgets plus some u couldnt get on the merc, so i went for the gs in the end. but i still love teh cls styling though especially with the amg kit on.

they are directional tread right? i think i play it save and go with non as directional tend to be noisier? although the sp9000 were pretty good

yeah i remember talking to u on a merc forum too, i spoke to u quite a bit regardingt he eclass 320cdi or 350 or the gs300 but in the end i got the gs 3 years ago now the car is so quiet and it drives nicely, super smooth gearbox and all and still finding somehting new about the car as i go along, the eclass looks so ordinary now that i am so glad i got the gs. but the only thing is i want the ls hybrid now! hahah

thanks i was also looking at those assymetrics too, not that expensive either. anyone else recommend any others? i want some options. but those assymetrics was on my list. i am surpised that not much topics opened regarding this as the gs is known for its tyre roar, would ahve expected someone to have discussed this on the gs?

Hi guys, I drive a gs300se-l and the stock tyres (yoko advan A10.....) are bloody loud¬ does anyone know of a really good quiet and comfortable tyre? I ahve only had these tyres on the gs but i think corners, body roll etc is alright, so i dont want to find out going to a low noise tyre will worsen the handling? will this be possible? Obviously i still want good traction in dry and wet and longevity etc but willing to pay for a decent all rounder with low noise being the priority. please advise guys as i need to change them pretty soon. Many thanks in advance

I cant get a son k700i to work on the car! anyone else had problem with this phone? new gs by the way. a nokia 6230 works fine though
