Oh dear - main thing is you're okay. I had the same thing happen multiple times in my Lexus and my wifes so I know how you feel! Firstly dont panic - it looks like youre going through the insurer. Inform your insurer directly (dont go through the claims management companies) and get a Lexus approved bodyshop i.e. the bodyshop that your dealer uses. There may be a small "non approved repairer" excess but trust me, its worth it because the insurance bodyshops are abysmal and if you have Legal cover you can claim this back anyway Ive recently had my Merc repaired at an insurance approved bodyshop via a claims management company called Winns Solicitors and the repair was shocking - sent it back and finally got it back to how I like it. Thats a 10 year old car though, wouldnt take the risk with a newer Lexus The cost is likely £3-4k overall I would say. The lack of MOT won't make any difference to your claim - the driver who hit the Merc was also technically uninsured as no MOT

Dealer can activate this, alternately something like the carista app

You guys really need to try turning the Lexus Link off entirely and seeing how it goes - its very likely its causing drain and its a well known cause of the drain too (as are all car connective apps). My UX300e was draining batteries out within a week until the connected services were turned off. Hasnt missed a beat since.

You don't need to inform the insurance company if you change from run flats to non run flats as long as they're the correct size / speed rating and load rating

I don't think you can.

No setting for that and not how it should work. Get this shown to the dealer as its not exactly safe in terms of car jacking.

Might be an issue with the wiper arms Having said that the flat style Lexus wipers are rubbish. Change them to Bosch ones and see if you have any issues. Will probably be cheaper than oem too

Ive looked into this further. It seems that if you go on settings > Drive assist and hit the notification tab you should have options for "excess speed caution options", "speed limit change notification" If you change the speed limit notification slider to off, it will come on again when you start the vehicle. Instead, leave it permanently on and change the "excess speed caution options" to "visual". That should leave the system on but it shouldnt give you an annoying bong all the time. It seems to have worked in the States but lets see if it works here in the UK

It's not a bug. Supposedly designed so you have to turn it off each time you drive. Having said that I think the Americans found a way to turn it off permanently. I'll do some research and see what comes up

Thats a very low offer for a 19 plate ES. Just give it time - you'll always have time wasters and low ballers. You can always put it up on motorway or carwow. I think the lowest priced one on Autotrader is £20k. They probably want to make a large chunk of money! Roughly £5k!

I believe you are having the crabbing issue. The goodyear F1 Asymmetric 6 are heavily performance orientated. They're extremely good in the dry and wet when its warm but they become quite hard and slippy in temperature less than 10 degrees. I quite often spin them out in my c-class. Its funny you should mention the Bridgestone Turanza T005. Ive had these fitted to the rear of the C class 1 month ago and they replaced the Asymmetric 6s. I find them softer and quieter. Also more of an all rounder than the Asymmetric 6. I believe you can use other TPMS sensors and have them calibrated to the car. Dont think there are any major issues

Albeit not good practice as having 4 bald tyres is not as safe as having 2 bald ones and 2 semi-decent ones

There's little information in your post to suggest a reasonable price. How many miles, what trim / spec and overall condition of the vehicle including MOTs / services and is it at an independent dealer, private seller or main dealership? SUV prices are actually up in November and December due to pending winter / poor weather.

I mean I didnt notice anything unusual with the door cards - the ones ive had were the F-Sport and the Takumi though so they both had suede lined doors

Its hard to know what the exact colour match is unfortunately as there is no paint code I would first start with Velvet black 212 as thats likely to be the colour. Otherwise it may need a spot repair - non metallic black is quite easy to spot repair

Yep happened on all my RXs. And the Merc too, as well as the new Golf.

Is it cos perhaps you're comparing apples to oranges? I think the Premium is the lowest spec in the range so won't have the options you've mentioned. The premium plus does have the option to add a panoramic roof amongst the other gubbins. I found the ride smoother tbh. I wonder if it's the ridiculous tyre pressures the dealerships put it at. The loaner I had was running 40 psi In general the RX is still good value compared to other vehicles. X5 to a similar spec is almost £10k more as is the GLE

I'm not surprised Because every car I've owned does the same. Just make sure it's properly closed

Can you please write to Lexus UK and let them know - I believe they havent released the protection plates for the ES as they think its not as much of a problem with them compared to the RX so every attempted theft needs to be emailed to them. Also, how did they take the car with the steering lock on?

https://lexuspartsdirect.co.uk/product/lexus-sc430-front-spring/ Its £163 for one on there. Amayama are cheaper by £60 but don't know if youd have to pay import duty on it

I cant even see this particular car online. Any link to it?

Its a mild hybrid e-TSI.

Got Ghost fitted by Safe and Sound in Leeds on our Golf. No issues. Plenty of other immobilisers and tracker units available from them as well

Not on the website - along with the 450h+ f sport design. Its still available to order and if youre quick its got £2k deposit contribution, 3 services free and they're running on about £4k discount.

Yes but I got 6 points! It was around £700
