Going on others experience I think you did well. Range may improve in warmer weather. If you're after range though it's definitely not the correct car for your use-case... I say enjoy it for the luxury and hopefully reliability along with a great ownership

Forgot to say. Mine was the 4.2 diesel. EPIC car that I miss terribly. Check on the following video to give you a feel of things You Tube - Autocar

Like just about all manufacturers try to avoid the air suspension. It's not necessarily more prone to failure it's just that they all cost big money WHEN things go wrong. So you either budget accordingly or roll the dice... Pano roof never caused me grief but I must have only opened it a handful of times during my ownership. Again, check for seals/dampness in the cabin. Standard headlights (non-xenon/LED) are shocking. I remember seeing many that had some really poor quality aftermarket options fitted. So if you see those avoid as they could cause grief on the circuits/error messages. A friend had the burmester sound system on his and the amp went. It's a super rare option as it cost £3/4k when new. So when he tried to get it repaired he spent ages looking for someone that knew how to repair. Another failure prone item - wheels. Or rather after market/cheap copies. Avoid. Stick to OEM only. Connected to the wheels - a few folk I know reported suspension components failing. I reckon it was the over sized / wrong wheels/tyre setup they ran. The only scary item that I read about when I had mines was where the transfercase failed. Some folk got lucky and had Porsche to pick up the bill but others were left with a few K to spend. Unfortunately depending on the age of the car you may find many that have been abused, run on a shoestring, poor parts used, or shall we say owned by wrong 'uns.

I ran a 2011 Cayenne diesel to around 140k miles. Was by FAR the most reliable and cheapest car i've ever run. Consumables like tyres etc were no more expensive than other premium cars and at times were in fact a little cheaper (due to shared items across the Porsche/VW/Audi group). Servicing was on par with Lexus costs. Dealers, like Lexus, varied from shocking to absolutely brilliant. Overall cost of buying, running and the selling at the end considering retained value was amazing. The car itself really got under your skin - the drive was spot on. Things to watch out for: They can vary on spec though as so much is optional but I noted that the cost of the car doesn't vary much if buying used. Do not over pay for options. Talking of options - check carefully. And then again. Things like dimming mirrors and xenons/LEDs were optional! DO NOT stick to the set service times (ie long life). Get things done every 12months/10k miles regardless. Like other brands keep on top of maintenance and you'll be fine. Unless you're doing the miles get the petrol variety, particularly the generation from about 2017. If you need any in depth info just shout up.

My experience on this: Sticking calipers that have warped/damaged the discs/pads. Check for excessive brake dust and super hot wheels/calipers.

Excellent! I find prep is quite key especially with Gtechniq products so fingers crossed your results will be as good as I found it.

By far the best I've used and seems to last the longest: Gtechniq C4

I bought this for my Dad's UX - works brilliantly! The quality is superb and the app is excellent to use. I also bought the hard-wire kit for it at the same time. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0CL68VNVR?ref=nb_sb_ss_w_as-reorder_k1_1_7&amp=&crid=KFLEODEMPU0Z&amp=&sprefix=dashcam I also had the Blackvue (single channel) in her RX. Loved the stealth look. Quality of video has come leaps and bounds since then but the costs have too...

You have to post up some pics of your Legend! LOVE these so much! I'm currently in an Accord MK8 touring but keep on being tempted with the Legend but so many haven't been taken care of 😞

Good point about the possible impact damage. No visible signs on the front. It's booked for this week so fingers crossed all goes ok.

With the recent warmer weather Dad turned the dials to cool and...nothing. Was just blowing ambient air. Usual thoughts of needs a regas but was a little annoyed/suspect especially having only bought the car in January. Couple of calls later all booked in with Lexus Edgware Road... Dad turns up and some checks followed when the Tech comes out and says - needs a new condenser as it's leaking. Grrr. Good news is that it's booked in for next week and will all be covered by the warranty - including the regas Anyone else ever had any issues with the UX and the aircon?? Just hope it's "just" the condenser and nothing more serious.

Looks amazing. Congratulations matey

Apologies if posted already - mods please lock/remove of so... https://mag.lexus.co.uk/lexus-uk-statement-on-vehicle-theft/

I've used this before on cars. etc. Works wonders. Not sure about Lexus stopping using grease on the door straps as have seen it recently on new and used cars at a number of dealerships... WD40 White Lithium Grease

There's quite a few sellers on likes of Aliexpress that seem to do the trick - anyone tried?? I was after the same solution for the UX... https://www.aliexpress.com/item/1005005180866978.html?pdp_npi=3%40dis!USD!US %2442.94!US %2442.94!!!!!%40211b813f17057803967015706e9540!12000031996728534!im!! Seems really silly to skip on such a thing...
