  1. Typical of a dealer to say that you need to replace the entire mirror unit - I could be sounding paranoid or cynical but I do get impression that Lexus dealers are now trying to get more money out of owners based on a couple of my own recent experiences. Disappointing to say the least. I would try my luck with various online breakers as I've often found that there are plenty of used Lexus LS parts readily available. I have managed to source good used parts for my LS430 but I am sure there are LS400s being broken up with parts such as mirror glass being available. Google will give you plenty of sites like www.247spares.co.uk or www.breakeryard.com amongst the many. Good luck
  2. As per the previous posts, vibrations from the brake could be caused by a number of things. I thought most decent garages ensured that they applied some copper grease to the brake pads when these get changed to ensure there's no kind of squeaking. If you feel a judder through the braking pedal at any speeds, this is usually a sign of warped discs. Pads are comparatively cheaper than discs but hard to say what is the cause in your case. Another thing to keep in mind is that if the discs are warped, make sure that the wheel hub is fine too because if this isn't in good condition, this will also cause issues with braking too
  3. Absolutely agree with Malcolm that any decent garage would never let a car leave their workshop without ensuring the engine has plenty of oil. This is probably a silly question but have you checked to see if there are any oil leaks from the vehicle ? It could well be that the garage did check and top up any fluids but a leak could explain the low level now.
  4. Welcome to the LOC and for becoming the owner of a superb vehicle. I own an LS430 and I had the same issue with Tyre Pressures. My local garage pointed out the reset button underneath the dash and said that you have to push it for a minute or so before it recalibrates itself and the warning disappears. A new set of interior car mats for my car retail for £120 from Lexus (not cheap) but I was glad to put in a genuine set instead of a set of cheaper / aftermarket ones. I still can't mentally justify the cost of a genuine Lexus Bootliner though - over £200 for a bit of plastic is OTT !
