  1. Sadly, I saw an NX on the hard shoulder, on the M2 on Saturday afternoon. A very unusual sight!
  2. Thanks, I was getting confused between 450 and 430 - I am usually 20 out most days unfortunately!
  3. Sonic Titanium is lovely colour. I had a ride today in my old RX 300. Light blue (though it is called grey for some reason) with cream interior. I much prefer the light interior to my black one - though black interior seems to stay cleaner. Titanium or Light Blue would be my choice of paint but also a light interior.
  4. Same for me when I had the RX300. The regenerative braking seems to slow the car but it also has a "brake" gear for descents.
  5. My RX needed a re-gas as it did not cope well with the hot weather. Cold as ice now.
  6. Very interesting post Paul. Let us know how you get on with E10 on your next fill up. Perhaps do that when you are travelling to Wales?
  7. Interesting Vlad. They mention the LS 460 and after any LS made before 1998 should use E5? I may have interpreted it incorrectly? Below:- Lexus E10 petrol is cleared for use in all Lexus European petrol models made from January 1998, excluding: IS250 2.5 litre V6 with engine 4GR-FSE made between August 2005 and September 2007. GS300 3.0 litre V6 with engine 3GR-FSE made between January 2005 and September 2007. LS460 4.6 litre V8 with engine 1UR-FSE made between August 2006 and September 2007. /n/nThese models, and those produced before 1998 should continue to use E5.
  8. Soarer? I think they are drop dead gorgeous!
  9. Had the aircon checked and re-gassed. Mobile guy who was recommended. He knew his stuff - squirted oil into the system and checked for leaks. Now have ICE cold air in my RX 400h. I felt good value at £65.
  10. A friend of mine bought a Peugeot estate, two years old (in 2016) and he considered changing it UNTIL he found out how little they would give him in part-exchange.
  11. I have tried to work on a basis of £1,000 a year depreciation for quite a while now. My worst (for depreciation) car worked out at £1600 a year. As a few of you are on here, I am a little addicted to AutoTrader. The second-hand cost of Lexus cars seems to have shot up. A six year old RX450h with around 40,000 miles is nearly £24,000. That WOULD depreciate quite quickly me thinks! Supply and demand - take it or leave it.
  12. I consider PCP's to be a very expensive way of owning a car. Just my view. Also, new cars depreciate so much in the first couple of years. I have done the new car thing once, so I am not really that bothered about buying used to be honest.
  13. A cracking thread - but lets not get too excited lads. Here is my 2p worth! I WISH I could find fuel in my area at £1.10 a litre. I NEVER buy Shell if I can avoid it. Tried it a couple of times in the past and my car ran terribly! John, Have you converted your 450h to LPG? It is all about experience, belief, science and most of all MAGIC!
  14. Very interesting thread. It would be good if a CAR SALESPERSON posted what they think. Matt at High Peak Autos, has his take on "customers" - I do not agree with everything he says but it is the view of a car salesman.
  15. Very impressive! We LOVE photos!
  16. My Mk3 LS400 was better on petrol than my Mk4 as well.
