  1. Yep the IS is certainly the same. I've not paid attention to the RX ones but I presume they're also the same.
  2. Looks like it. It was unveiled as the Yellow Edition in Europe but the US have called it an Inspiration Edition and put some nice multispoke wheels on to differentiate it from the other LCs. I think Europe will be getting the normal wheels
  3. Seems that the folks across the pond will be getting a special edition LC similiar to the one we'll be getting in Europe Although, this one has some fancy new multispoke wheels
  4. They do it all the time! Cheltenham then Coventry had a blue one with an aftermarket exhaust on it which took a while to shift, previous owner was on here. Stockport back in the day when they had a few IS-Fs used to sell them with their aftermarket bits on and would fit aftermarket pieces on for customers as well.
  5. The wipes never seem to be as good as spray on cleaners. I would say every 6 months if they get fairly dirty or just keep it to once a year if the car is only driven say 5k miles per year
  6. I doubt its been done And I certainly wouldn't try it. The wiring loom may be there but there is no radar or camera to work with the adaptive cruise. The steering wheel would also need changing for the distance setting.
  7. Yep it's changed now because other listing has ended
  8. Possibly another thing to check is the rear middle seatbelt. Its the only Lexus model with a seatbelt thats up on the roof......
  9. The MOT is only a snapshot and therefore means that the vehicle was roadworthy at the time of the test. It does not mean that the vehicle was roadworthy at time of sale or time of collection/being driven away or in fact, even 1 second after the test was carried out. The buyer can tax and insure any vehicle as long as it has a valid MOT. They can insure any vehicle so that would not make a difference to the case. You rightly state that the buyer drove home after purchase. However, it is implied by the document that the buyer signed that he did so illegally and ultimately, it is the buyers responsibility to make sure the car is fit for road use before being driven. Additionally, the seller can also state that he had the necessary repairs done on it to put it up for sale. The big red stamp is present and is unlikely to be missed. It was also signed and dated so its very very difficult to come back from that. Having said that, no reason why you can't try going through moneyclaim.gov.uk
  10. There is one massive issue with this - You have clearly signed an invoice saying "Sold as Spares/Repair and the vehicle needs to be trailered". This suggests that the vehicle is in non-roadworthy condition and he has flogged a trade sale. So, in the court of law, you have a very weak case as the seller can say it was a trade sale and he had advised you that it was a non-roadworthy car and needs to be trailered off. You've signed this saying that you accept the conditions and therefore, the seller, although a crook, doesn't owe you anything. I would take this as a learning point that you should have thoroughly checked the car beforehand and then flog it off in an auction.
  11. You do realise that the gearbox uses AI and adjusts to the driver right? We're talking about exactly the same gearbox that was in the GS350 and IS350......pretty sure it's used in the ISF, RCF and GSF too. Essentially if it's been driven by miss daisy and Lewis Hamilton gets in the car will be confused and the gearbox needs resetting. The hesitation from standstill is there but the gearbox was spot on when I drove it. The one I had had less than 100 miles on it
  12. Duelers are fine no issues with them tbh and quiet.
  13. As I remember the NX subwoofer is on the boot lid. It's not that is it?
  14. I disagree. Last time we had a puncture in the family was in 2009. In that time our cars have covered over 200k miles. So getting a puncture is a very rare occurrence actually unless you drive too close to kerbs or something where all the crap lies
  15. Or just grab the dodo juice leather kit. It's not expensive either at £23 for the set and is hands down the best one I've tried
  16. Premier pre facelift or F Sport with Premier Pack/Premier facelift
  17. There's not a rule as such but I tend to go with if they look really shiny like ours was. For some people they might have to do it 3 times per year depending on mileage. But I wouldn't go doing it every fortnight. Is the renapur balsam a cleaner or conditioner? Ideally you want a sealant to stop the seats getting as dirty
  18. Rear squeak in the NX are either from 3 places. The headrest leather in the middle seat, try putting the middle headrest up, the parcel shelf or the suspension but only when going over bumps.
  19. Cleaned the seats in my wife's IS300h F-Sport today! Last time I did them was last year. Word of warning, don't clean leather seats too regularly! Its actually quite stressful on the coating. All done with Dodo Juice Supernatural leather cleaner and Sealant! Quite shiny before - and After -
  20. It takes place even on the basis of names and what car it is - for example the popular cars tend to have higher premiums as do popular names!
  21. I have and it appears the CT and IS are driven by younger folk. The RC tends to attract older whilst the NX and RX are pretty much mixed across the board.
  22. Id be very wary of those. They have pretty much no safety systems whatsoever bar the basic ones. Ive seen a Ford Fiesta go into a Pug 107 and let me tell you, the Fiesta driver came out on his own legs by opening a door whilst the Pug owner came out on a stretcher after the firefighters had cut him out. If it was a SUV instead of a Fiesta, Im pretty sure the 107 owner would be no more. Lethal things those are!
  23. I wouldnt buy the old 6.2l V8 without a warranty which is damn expensive and I wouldn't buy a new one because of its horrendous image Almost every C63 I have seen seems to be driven by tossers under the age of 35 ragging it up and down council estates
  24. What do you need this information for? If you're looking at a vehicle, surely just ask the seller?
