    Ahhh but now the fronts are the odd ones out tut tut…. I agree with ya about matching up hence i usually go 4 new tyres every time, on my RCF i needed 2 rears awhile back but falken had changed the tread pattern slightly so went the full hog and got 4 to match…. Its been mentioned that i may have a slight OCD issue 😂

    Your 1st post and you are again showing your true colours….so far up your own….. you made the meet all about you, and rattled quite a few attendees and most if not all members on the SC430 uk fb group, with the ohhh look at me etc etc….. best thing to of happened to that site was your demise and being kicked out….. and i wont mention the pittance you donated to the charity …considering the amount you took in, by charging members to be allowed onto your land, it was a good meet but you turned it sour by making it out to be all about you

    I’m Just 5-10mins north of Rothes and 4miles south of Elgin on the Rothes A941 road

    Yep i do use it all year round except when it snows a bit, only because i have a 400ft steep driveway and wouldn’t matter what tyres i have on it “I ain’t getting up drive “ lol hence i also have a NX and a other make of 4x4…. For driving in snowy condition, i personally haven’t felt the need to go winter or all season tyres, although i do swap my alloys back to the 19’ OEM with sport pilots during winter, but generally run on my 20’’ alloys with summer tyres…. (Just my preference on tyre set ups)

    I’m 36miles to the east of Inverness just outside Elgin, would be great to meet up at some point as no other RCF owners are anywhere close to us up here, as for mpg….you can get better, i used to regularly run from Elgin down to south of London (614mile 1 way) and achieved 36.5… and i dont hang around, 😂 moved down there for a couple of years but didnt like it so moved back up… but used to run up n down every 2 weeks during the lockdown periods …nice quiet roads and was a blast 😂

    Where in Scotland…. A9 north of Perth is average speed cameras all the way up towards Inverness…. A90 north of Dundee is again covered in average speed cameras up to Stonehaven up by Aberdeen… most of other roads further north are just the mobile camera vans

    Billy, i emailed Lexus yesterday about the fuel, and recieved a reply this morning via email and had a miss call off Lexus HQ but phoned them back and have been well compensated for the lack of fuel being given….it is part of the policy that the recall vehicles get 20ltrs of fuel…. Maybe worth a call to your lexus garage that did yours
  13. mr2lad
    😂 yeah i declined all the extra stuff like that, as i know garages like to make stuff up for possibly touting for business….. yeah they did say they’ve done a few so are pretty good at getting them done sharpish… ****** i didnt get my fuel as it cost me a half tank to go and get this done and return home, but at least it was a very nice spiritive drive there and back…probably why i went thru 1/2 tank 😂

    Just had my recall done… at a Honda dealership in aberdeen who have taken over the lexus servicing etc up the north of Scotland….. only took them a hour to do it 👍🏻 declined any sort of valet and visual health check…. But didnt get any free fuel of them like others have got…. Bugger lol 😂 but happy with the time they took to do it, saved me hours n hours of sitting in customer seating area

    Recall been cancelled YET AGAIN, was meant to be going in on monday 4th sept but got a phone call yesterday afternoon saying they are needing to cancel my appt as only have 2 technicians in place for next 3weeks…. This is Lexus Aberdeen which is NOT a lexus garage but a Honda garage who have taken over from Toyota Aberdeen doing the lexus servicing etc..nearest proper Lexus dealers/servicing centres are Edinburgh and Glasgow which are a good 3 1/2hrs away…. 3rd time now it’s been cancelled at last minute….think i need a word with lexus uk about this lot ffs

    Defo recommend NC500, done it in RCF and parts of it quite often (does help i live not to far away), also around Loch Ness way and Glen Coe… re the NC500 a car group that im affiliated with did this this weekend over 2 days with no problems everything from lambos n Porsches etc to the normal family car (over 40 cars in total).. no hassles

    Have you ever tried to get out the wear sensors after being fitted for sometime, they usually break…. Rockauto in the USA do the wear sensors at a very cheap price compared to lexus pricing….shipping is cheap and extremly fast… i bought 8 lots and still have a spare 4 for the next time i change my pads…. 4 yrs in and ive changed my pads twice… not because of wear but replaced discs with new pads only to find they where really dusty pads so got a year out of them before my OCD properly kicked in and changed them for a lower dust ones…and wear sensors didn’t come out in one piece

    I started training my youngster years ago when i had my LS600hL, sacked him tho when i got a black car 😂 silver is more forgiving when missing parts when washing than a black car 😆 … his wage was the box of Pringles in pic 👍🏻
