  1. Sounds like the sooner he has a rest from driving the better for all of us. Mike.

  2. I wonder how the smaller Lexus models would perform in such a crash (obviously I wouldn't want this to happen to anybody). Clearly the LS4xx models are tanks and can take a few big hits with minimal injuries to the driver/passengers.

  3. My desolation was short lived, next week after my holiday in Jersey I'm travelling to Dundee to relieve Allister of his LS430. Can't wait, AND it's the same colour as mine but with more woodwork !! Happy I am. (Said like Yoda )

  4. Congrats on the new car. The new GS is certainly a big step up from the previous generation. I had a GS300h on 24h test drive and whilst I was very impressed with how the car had moved on and how well it cruised I couldn't quite get over the lack of oooomph.

  6. In all honesty I probably would have done the same, as you say reflexes take over! You might have to get that tyre off the rim to check it out - hidden sidewall damage could pose a risk to you & the family (including the Lex!)

  7. Personally the last thing I'd be putting into fridge in main cabin of a Lexus Is fresh fish, unless it's vacuumed packed I work in the haulage industry (long distance lorry driver) and 99% of my loads are fresh fish landed straight off boats and IT STINKS (I hate fish) lol I'd use a cool bag with a bag of ice and place in boot Fish smell lingers for along long time Here's one I caught earlier 😉

  8. I have found the receipt for the Hybrid Pump bearings. Not sure if the part numbers would make sense, so I have measured the bearings with vernier callipers so the correct parts can be ordered. I bought mine from Brammer UK Ltd, in Hereford (01432 276630). The part numbers are 61900-2Z and 608-2Z. They were in stock at the time. The dimensions for the front bearing are 22mm OD, 10mm ID, 6mm width. The dimensions for the rear bearing are 22mm OD, 8mm ID, 7mm width. Giles.

  9. Hi Mark, No, the pump on your link is a different part. From memory, it looks like a RX400h/450h pump. I have attached some photos. The pump can be seen from underneath the car when on a ramp. It is located on the lower off-side of the gearbox, so is pretty easy to get to. I had to remove the gearbox mounted exhaust bracket to get to it properly before removal. As you can see, it is a well engineered, simple part with one moving part; the impeller shaft. The three coils are fixed, therefore there are no brushes to wear out and the shaft has the magnets mounted on it. There really is not much to go wrong with it. It's just a shame that Lexus made a poor choice of bearing specification. The two bearings can be seen in the photos. One is located under the circuit board (this is the shaft position sensor board) and the other is at the bottom of the motor housing (can also be seen mounted on the end of the shaft in he photo. Hope it makes sense. Giles.
