Take it to Lexus and let them deal with it. They will use their approved repairer. Your premium will go up even though you are not at fault. The insurance company's reasoning is; If you claim once, you are more likely to claim again. Doesn't seem to make sense but that's what the statistics say.

Mine went from £330 to £880, no changes in circumstances. Did all the comparison sites, couldn't get it cheaper.

mine serviced today, complimentary health check included.

Shock this morning, renewal, increase from £330 to £880. Asked how and why, told all premiums are increasing. The only change in my cicumstance is i'm a year older. Tried all the comparison sites and not one under £1000. Pay up and look big I suppose. No alternative.

Looks cracking Steve, saved yourself £1k there. Next time you're down South (you know what everyone's going to ask)

Not sure if this helps https://www.paintscratch.com/touch_up_paint/Lexus/1992-Lexus-LS400.html

For hybrid vehicles, the service will include a Hybrid Health Check to extend the hybrid component and battery warranty cover. If the vehicle is eligible for the hybrid components and battery cover will be included in the same Lexus Warranty contract until 10 years or 100,000 miles, whichever is soonest. You can then independently extend the hybrid component and battery warranty cover for up to 15 years and unlimited mileage by having a Hybrid Health Check.

Echo the above for Lexus Guildford. Customer of theirs for over 20 years. MOT today, tyre split, dangerous to drive, can't replace til Wednesday. No loan car readily available, asked to wait for 10 mins. 21 plate UX appeared, keep for 3 days. As usual. brilliant service from all at Guildford.

Don't know what I've done to deserve this. About a year ago had a recall for the tyres on my LS500 (18 reg) Bridgestone Runflats, no cost to me as Bridgestone recall. 4 new tyres supplied, I estimate £1000 2 months later, a puncture, can't repair, 1 new tyre £235. MOT today, large split in 1 tyre, price now £285. So, the 4 original tyres, 4 replacements re recall, 1 puncture, 1 split = 10 tyres Car is 4 years old and I've just clocked 22k miles. Just unlucky I suppose.

Passenger set for Adult on all the time. Safety measure. You change to ' Set to child ' and that remains on permanently also.

It was, I would have lived with the rattle otherwise.

Exactly the same problem with my LS. Complete sealed unit, had to change the whole centre console. Cost £4,500

They do neither.

Looks fantastic. Wheels are amazing, scuffed mine, had them powder coated, not the same. Might have to invest in new ones. Drive carefully and stop grinning.

Looks very smart, and if you got it for the asking price (or maybe lower) you've really had a great deal. Bought mine from Motorline, nice people. Good luck for tomorrow.

Believe me, you wont regret buying the LS. Had mine for just over 2.5 years and am still finding things out about the car (LS owner for 20 years and this is my 7th LS). Re the run-flats; not noisy unless you have a puncture. This is my first car with rf's and when I had a puncture I called the AA as I thought one of the wheel bearings had gone. There was a recall on the tyres earlier this year, Bridgestone recall, all 4 replaced FOC. Run flats not repairable £280 each. Voice commands are a little disappointing, my last LS600h had many more functions (one thing I miss is the temp control function) The cars do have a serious ''road presence'' you'll be amazed how many people remark on it's looks. You wont realise how special these cars are 'til you've had it for a year and then one day you have to drive an 'Ordinary car' Check the switch opening the fuel filler, few problems reported, rectified under warranty. Good Luck, you'll be grinning from ear to ear next week. Graham.

Straightforward replace tyre. Lexus won't repair Runflats. A 1/2 inch screw caused a £237 Bill.

RAC fella put a plug in. Phoned around this morning, no one (that I rang) repairs Runflats. Booked in tomorrow at Lexus for new tyre. Bugger really, had 4 new ones replaced 5 weeks ago re a call back.

As title says. Puncture in my offside rear this morning. Called RAC, temporary fix, told it was repairable but not sure if I fancy that. Anyone with any experience?

The cynic is coming out of me now. How or Why would any company start giving away potentially millions of ££££ in free warranties. I've read the T's & C's on the Lexus website and it does read that way. I just can't get my head around it. They're literally giving every new car now a 10 year warranty absolutely free of charge (even though you must service at a Lexus Dealership, which you had to anyway) I've checked the date and it doesn't say 1st April. Am I being too cynical for my own good?

Had this camera fitted at Lexus last week. I hour wait, £275. Really pleased.

Paul, have just re-read the opening line of your post. Go for it, you'll be regretting it for quite a few years if you let it go.

Hi Paul, welcome to the LOC. Jemca are a Lexus main Dealer. I would have no worries about buying sight unseen as they are ultimately answerable to Lexus UK if any problems arise. I bought a LS 460 from Lexus NI after just seeing 5 photos on Autotrader (no problems). My previous LS600 was purchased from Lexus Edgware Rd, (one of 3 sites that Lexus Jemca operate). Nice people to deal with.

Mine's going in next Monday, all day job.

So annoying. On my 2008 LS600 I could state what temperature I wanted the climate to be and also suspend route guidance. The 2018 LS500 has no temperature controls and you have to go through 2 mouse clicks to delete the sat nav. Feels like a step backwards. Then again, these cars are so clever I wouldn't be surprised if it's just me not knowing how to do it. Then again, this is my 7th LS, so I do know a little bit about them.
