196k No Advisories

Very pleased that she passed the MOT last week with no advisories. At 196,893 that's impressive.

The tester said all was looking good, although the rear pads looked as though they would need replacing soon, and he suggested discs might be a good idea at the same time too.

Blow me down, 5 days later the tyre wear warning pops up! I love this car.

I'm doing my annual Hampshire - Versailles - Edinburgh - Hampshire trip this week so my local indie is doing the work this afternoon, he's handy as his workshop is 5 minutes walk from the allotment.

Lexus Guildford parts quoted £205 incl 10% for LOC member, but when I asked if the pads included the sensor he said no. Add the sensor £266.39....... (£60)

I'll let you know when I get the bill.

You should notice a big difference once you have new rear pads fitted, I certainly did.

Was surprised at the cost of the sensors, and so when I do the front brake, may well have ago at repairing the sensors (which are still taped up).

Enjoy your trip, a interesting way to get to Edinburgh, via France!!

of course you don't actually need the sensors for the car to function ............. they just give you an indication which if you have the car properly and regularly looked at you will know the state of the pads, discs etc at crucial times. ......... just to save a bob or two !!

Malc, that's certainly an impressive M.O.T. result. Speaks volumes to those who like to knock Lexus.

Wow what a feeling - dancing on the ceiling!

Must put that glass of wine down!

You can buy cheap Sensors at Rock auto I believe.
