Which Major Service P ?

They did a 60k service Roy which inc replace fluids for front/rear boxes and spark plugs & Hybrid check. Must admit I like the reassurance that this has been done. Clean bill of health according to service manager after he test drove it

Had the aircon checked and re-gassed. Mobile guy who was recommended. He knew his stuff - squirted oil into the system and checked for leaks. Now have ICE cold air in my RX 400h. I felt good value at £65.

Washed and waxed and polished and cleaned ...

Passed a Hybrid Health Check on Friday (from 2nd attempt) and also did a wheel alignment, Lexus said the wheels needed to be adjusted but I don't feel the differences before and after.

While in a Lexus garage I sat in ES, damn, from outside it is the most beautiful saloon on the market! I was nicely surprised with the boot size.

I dare you Vlady (oops almost spilt my breakfast Rioja! )

I think it is gorgeous too.

New EBC pads on the LS. Hopefully better than the squeaky Lexus ones I took off.

After a lot of thinking and considerations what to do with my Oil Service which is almost due I decided to go with Lexus Garage (Glasgow). I contacted local garage and the price would be £140 cheaper compared to Lexus, it was not enough to swing me towards private garage as obviously they do not provide a 1 year warranty, so yesterday phoned Lexus and booked an appointment which will include an MOT too.

I also will get a courtesy car and they promised it will be free of charge. Lexus Glasgow has an RX450h and a few UX as a courtesy car, I hope to get an RX though! 🙂

 

[royoftherovers]

A well considered move Vlady.👍

[Vlady]

Submitted my car for an MOT and a service to Lexus Glasgow, I have been given an UX300h as a lease/courtesy car. 

My 1st properly driven fully electric car (I had a quick shot in Tesla 3 a few months ago) and I like it, a lot! It is quite, instant acceleration and it goes pretty well too, I tried to accelerate from 50 to 70 and it was probably quicker than my GS! The car is also very well specced!

Only if it was bigger, for my needs is tiny! KIA Niro may be? 🙂

I also hope my GS will get through MOT check painlessly!

Guessing that should be UX300e ?

You are right, it is an UX300e, not 300h! Ups! Thanks! 🙂

I did also like the 300e when I had one on loan.  It is just a shame that the top spec is so expensive!

I'm sure the GS will be fine, but do let us know how it goes.

Thanks @Shahpor, just had a phone call from Lexus, all is good, passed MOT with no issues at all!

Also oil service (minor) is done so technically I have a 1year Lexus warranty! Happy!

Fitted a Wireless (with night vision) reversing Camera to the GS. Fortunate there had already been a Taurus at some time in its past and so a hot lead was found in the boot side well. Saved a bit of fiddling with the reversing Light.   Not a thing of beauty when there is a triple cable with plugs dangling from the non integral Screen affixed to the Dash,  but hey ho does the job.   

[Vlady]

Another routine front brake maintenance, I usually do it twice a year, before and after the winter. Callipers were removed, all pads and pins were cleaned, re-lubricated and put back together! 👍

[Rabbers]

Today I actually left my car alone, and I suspect it was grateful.

got back home yesterday after a 672 mile, 5 day round trip visiting relatives in the West Country ...  no E5 petrol refuelling problem nor driving challenges apart from seeing all those poor souls driving to the West Country in Qs and Qs and Qs for their half term holidays  ................. big Qs on the M3 jct joining the M25 that added at least 30 mins to our journey home last night but maybe that's a normal sort of congestion problem ..... so rarely go that way these days

and boy does she move. the V8 4 ltr of my now 26 years young car, birthday 26th October ........  must have quite shocked some of those comparative dawdlers in their super doopa BMWs, Mercs and Audis, who, flashing me to " push me outta the way " couldn't believe the sharpness of response and speed my dear old lady could show them, a clean pair of heels syndrome

Just be careful with those BMWs especially dark grey ones they are the favourite tool of the plain cop cars.

That’s exactly right.  Also in Switzerland, possibly Germany itself, and Denmark, the latter in my own direct experience.

Cleaned it a bit, and checked the air in the tyres

 

Yes, Lexus also has a seat for children but far below the quality of the one from Hyundai

The car was serviced by Lexus not a month ago; they did not clean the air-intake-filter to hybrid Battery.

 

[Vlady]

Installed a dash cam yesterday, it is Nextbase 622W. The installation happened at Halfords, can't fault the guys, they did a good job!
