Just ignore him if he approaches you in the future. You have documented the incident to a degree here now. My brothjer had someone do the same so he drove in to a police station and got out of the car to ask the guy to join him in the station. The guy drove off....

Hi Gareth, have just traded my 07 LS460SEL in for a 09 LS600hl. Now on my fifth LS and every one has been bought simply because I fell in love with that particular car.If we start rationalising every purchase we make, and justifying it, we'd all be driving Fiat Uno's. My 460 was (is) an immaculate car and I had a great 4 years of ownership. The next owner is gonna get a cracking deal. I tend to think that Lexus, with their wealth of design and engineering experience, would only improve with each model. Difference between the same spec 460 and 600 is probably about £9k. If you go for a 460 go for a SEL, lots of extra toys, probably a difference of £3k over the basic SE model. A 6 year old car with 140k miles has probably been gliding up and down the motorways. A Lexus with full service history will just keep going. Since signing the paperwork this morning all I can think of is Why, Why, Why. As I said, find a car, fall in love with it, sod the consequences, and enjoy. Graham.

Lol,I've bought a set with tyres today mate 😀

As promised email sent and reply from Lexuschap. I have had communication with this person many times and if anyone thinks to themselves why does he bother the reason is as follows. I have used Ebay as part of my businesses selling strategy almost since its launch and over that time Ebay has gone from a brilliant idea to an almost miserable place to do business. A lot of that trouble has been bought about by Ebay themselves but overwhelmingly its people like this person who make Ebay such a miserable place now to do business. Ebay for their part rarely go after the crooks as all they are interested in are the listing fees and as long as they get that they are happy. There are no final fees due on Classified Ads but I am sure they will get fed up when someone like this uses the the same Classified Ads for multiple items thus avoiding new listing fees each time. He has been reported to Ebay for this practice lets see how long this one stays up there for. Email to Lexuschap................ Well here you go again first the mileage is 160K then we contact the buyer you bought it from who tells us he sold it to you with !80+k on the clock so you put the mileage back up until the Trader ad disappears and you bring it down again. This time though the guy you bought it from is more than happy to talk to the police and Trading Standards which we will be arranging on Monday. Sleep well your time will soon be up. We have also reported you to Ebay for not declaring you are a dealer and sell as a private person. Just one other call to make on Mon and that's to HM Customs & Revenues. Might be worth ringing the Benefits people as well just to give them your name and all your ebay aliases. Mike. His reply.............. i have not altered any mileage. The mot has just been done u fool & mileage is clearly on the certificate. As i said im a sole trader registered with HM, im not on any benefits either. Good luck u sad piece of s**t. (I have censored the last word) I think you will agree just the sort of reply you expect from an honest, straight and pillar of the community. He also admits he is a sole trader which means he should declare this on his listings as required to by Ebay listing requirements but doesn't. Mike I should have also included that as a Sole Trader he does have obligations under the law to his customers. Using the Ebay Classified Ad gives you absolutely no protection, Ebay rule as follows Considerations: Classified Ad sales aren't backed by eBay services and protection, including Feedback and eBay Money Back Guarantee.

Right before I put up a few comments on the work that was carried out this Sunday and a couple of pointers that will definitely help people out I would like to thank Steve, and Alan for taking time out to even bother helping thanks guys, its peeps like you that Forums need! @Steve, Thanks for the Manual although when i did open it I thought "**** what do i need all this for" Then spent 3 hrs reading and going through it all lol! How over engineered are these cars?!?!?! @Alan cheers for the pointers. I did use the clamps on strut removal to shorten the whole unit and they did just slip out with no prob's, so did make life a bit easier it also took pressure of the fixings which also helped. The one main thing that I found was the MK4 hasn't got the upper hooks they are 3 bolts hidden behind the flaps of leather under the headrests, which I found after half hr yanking and pulling, What this actually means is that YOU DO NOT NEED TO REMOVE THE SEAT AT ALL!!! You just undo the 3 top bolts and pull the top forward slightly you then pop the Sub cover off which allows enough room to lift shelf and get to the bolts! Hope this helps the next person! Russ.

Hi Stuart, Cheers mate John

As everyone else has suggested, they are very cheap. I replaced the complete set on my car around a week or so ago. The brand I used was called "Wot Nots" by Pearl Automotive. They pop in and back out very easily and are extremely durable compared to the crap that Lexus saw fit to use. I bet if we were to conduct a survey, we would no doubt find that there is not an IS220d owner out there that has all of the original grommets in place. If there is, I will take my hat off to him / her

Hiya, I'm a new member, just joined today. I got my first ever Lexus yesterday. Could me and my hubby Paul come to the meet? I've never been to a car meet before. Denise
