  1. Cheers John: they were secure as I said before they came from the U.S.A. I have just researched, I bought them---6th Jan 2012,now I am trying to see if I can get a new one,----I have been onto the Police about what happened, they told me that the car isn't road legal, if I drive the car and I am pulled up by a police car I could be looking at 6points on my License----no thanks

  2. As the above title says--I went to the local Morrisons to get the Lexi-400 washed, everything seemed o.k. until I drove out. They are taking their time getting back to me, Photographs were taken a claim form was filled in by the manager, all my details were taken so-on +so-on, when you see the pics ---  don't do what I done NO more car washes the small piece was found on the floor in the car wash

  3. I went to France a couple of weeks ago, drive down to Dover on the Sunday and spend the night in Premier,-the drive was o.k. until we were going through the town and then disaster. The rear offside tyre  went flat I pulled into a bus stop got the pump and inflated it, and drove up to the Premier, took out our overnight gear booked in and went back to the car--tyre flat again. pump out inflate again, after a couple of HRS check again---flat. Had a word with the receptionist and she phoned  a firm in the town, they couldn't come until Monday--They came at around 8-30 had a look at the tyre and said  it was knackered the rim had done damage to the tyre wall.(The car has L.P.G.) in the wheel well  NO SPARE IN THE BOOT----. 

    The car was put on a recovery truck and taken to their depot--now the problem starts the tyre is a (225-60-16) he tried many tyre depots they all said the tyre was bigger than any they had in stock!!! The only place to get one was from a depot in FELIXSTOWE, it was put on a delivery van  doing it's rounds and it would arrive at KWICK FIT  in 4  HOURS)

    the next problem is our Ferry, the time now is 10am the boat sails at 12pm so I phoned D.F.D.S. and they said if I miss the 12pm boat we can go on the 2pm one if we miss that one we can go on the 4pm boat   yippee,    any way the tyre arrived at 4-20 pm. too late for the 4pm boat--- D.F.D.S. again  that's O.K. you can go on the 6pm boat but it will cost another  £54 on top of the £ 104 I had paid..

    In Total --Ferry £158---Kwik Fit---£69-99---Tow truck---£84  ALL in ALL £311--99 Lesson to learn  Take a spare with you...

  4. I had the same problem on my 97/400 the whole mirror was damaged works and all, I went local lexus for info, they tried to find one for me but nothing available in the U.K.  so the next step was Lexus in Japan, as my car was a 97 model they had to make a new one, because of the age they had finished that style anyway they made one for me and sent it to lexus in E.Port ----cost £400  a bit expensive but who cares.
